In Fire in His Heart, William Seraile offers the first full biography of Tanner. As Seraile shows, the Pittsburgh-born churchman struggled in his early years with his own lack of religious zeal. This concern took Tanner from pulpit preaching in 1868 to the editor's desk where, for sixteen years, he edited the Christian Recorder, official organ of the A.M.E. Church, which he molded into a major African American newspaper. He subsequently became founding editor of the AME Church Review, and in 1888 he was made a bishop, serving districts based in Philadelphia, Kansas City, Jacksonville, and Nashville. At about the time he became a bishop, Tanner found the spiritual fire that had been absent in his youth-a zeal that was reflected in both poetry and essays.

William Seraile uncovers the history of the colored orphan asylum, founded in New York City in 1836 as the nation’s first orphanage for African American children. It is a remarkable institution that is still in the forefront aiding children. Although no longer an orphanage, in its current incarnation as Harlem-Dowling West Side Center for Children and Family Services it maintains the principles of the women who organized it nearly 200 years ago.
