The Future Is the Beginning

In this one-of-a-kind collection, edited by Gerald Hausman and with an introduction by Cedella Marley, the words of reggae legend Bob Marley are gathered together to give readers a sense of his deeply felt and powerfully motivated sense of spirit.  The texts, many unpublished in book form, were gathered at 56 Hope Road, Kingston, Jamaica, where Bob lived and worked in the 1970s.

Bob Marley's wisdom came not only through his songs but also from his poetic, spoken words. The short selections in this book, which are gathered from interviews he gave over years, will give readers a true sense of who Bob Marley really was and are bound to inspire them with his timeless faith, unity, and love.
