Book Description
I was going to write a biography about my life, but as I was sitting at work one day, the Lord spoke to me and told me to write how my people are using me for selfish gain. And living large, my people are getting a lack of knowledge about me. So this book is not about me but all to the Glory of our Lord and Savior. You see, Jesus was in the temple, and out of all the things he turned over, I wondered why he went straight to the money table first. We should not use his temple for a den of thieves, he said. So this book is dedicated to help someone out there thats pimping Gods Word and deceiving his people and the kingdom and come to repent and do right by Gods people. Come clean. God forgives. This book is not to defend you, but to save you.

Manchild in the Promised Land
Author: Claude Brown
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451626673
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Manchild in the Promised Landis indeed one of the most remarkable autobiographies of our time. This thinly fictionalized account of Claude Brown's childhood as a hardened, streetwise criminal trying to survive the toughest streets of Harlem has been heralded as the definitive account of everyday life for the first generation of African Americans raised in the Northern ghettos of the 1940s and 1950s. When the book was first published in 1965, it was praised for its realistic portrayal of Harlem - the children, young people, hardworking parents; the hustlers, drug dealers, prostitutes, and numbers runners; the police; the violence, sex, and humour. The book continues to resonate generations later, not only because of its fierce and dignified anger, not only because the struggles of urban youth are as deeply felt today as they were in Brown's time, but also because the book is affirmative and inspiring. Here is the story about the one who "made it," the boy who kept landing on his feet and became a man.

The Reverend
Author: Kenneth Frank
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595427472
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Why not then remain pure in body, if not in heart? For one, my marriage had made me cynical; for another, my faith was no longer unassailable. Never having heard God say anything, I found too many contradictions in the body of theological non-knowledge as interpreted by Baptist doctrine. I was ready to stray, the principal deterrent being my childhood training, or lack of it. I knew only what they told me. And about women, they told me precious little. How could I conceal from myself that the ever present, all powerful, all knowing God of my sermons-that personal, loving Father-was a stranger to me, even as I insisted that my listeners must surrender to Him or face eternal damnation and punishment? Would I spend the rest of my life as a sexually frustrated hypocrite? Should I continue to preach and pray when I was convinced that Prayer Changes Nothing? Or should I be the real me and sample some of the pleasurable bounty of God's creations? One vote for pleasure. It's unanimous and so ordered.

CHECK MATE
Author: D D Johnson
Publisher: Writers Republic LLC
ISBN: 1637288603
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
Checkmate is a story of a misguided young man who had to learn the hard way that the streets are a myth and they love no one. To most, it’s just a game. This young kid developed a knack for the game of chess and maneuvers his way from a pawn with deadly aspirations to someday being crowned king. He views people as mere pieces on the chessboard—part of the game. Seeing that most of the boys his age from his neighborhood are—in some shape, form, or fashion—part of the game, he knew very few understood the rules and even fewer abided by them. The older he got, the more he realized that he had too much to lose—a tough pill to swallow. And as it is said for most, a true player of the game finds it difficult to throw in the towel, but damn sure doesn’t wanna die, captured in someone’s prison. He then realized that his belief in the false narrative of the game and how it’s to be played is a farce, along with its invisible code. Eventually, he was forced to be honest with himself. There has never been—or ever will be—any honor amongst thieves. Like murder, lying, cheating, and stealing, snitching is also part of the game. The street code was—and in his opinion, is still—used to keep the low-level soldiers and underlings in check, allowing the top-tier guys to stay in their position, at the top, as kings! The very moment that things, however they may seem, begin to shift, people start to talk. While not suggesting that all do, it’s fair to say the ones who stay silent due to their strong moral belief in the G code and keeping their street honor intact are in the minority. Rule 1: Don’t get checkmated Rule 2: If you throw bricks at the penitentiary long enough, know eventually that the doors will open to welcome you in. Rule 3: Know that the toughest and baddest killer, robber, gangster, dope dealer in your hood will set you up for the kill or snitch on you. It’s just that simple…CHECKMATE.

The Reverend's Apprentice (Large Print 16pt)
Author: David N. Odhiambo
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458778339
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
The Reverend's Apprentice, the third novel by David N. Odhiambo, is a powerful, tragicomic novel about power, culture, and identity politics in contemporary America, as seen through the eyes of an African student. Jonah Ayot is a graduate student from a fictional central African nation, studying in a fictional American city some time after the US invasion of Iraq in 2003; the novel mirrors Jonah's own struggle as a newcomer to American life, trying to organize his perceptions around an identity that is global rather than parochial. But those perceptions become muddied in the reality of the new war zone - on American soil, where the foreign becomes familiar, and the familiar is no longer what it used to be. Dissonant, frantic, and full of the white noise of a culture at war with itself, The Reverend's Apprentice takes the familiar story of the stranger in a strange land to new, disturbing, breathtaking new levels. The American magazine Black Issues Book Review has said: ''David Odhiambo joins a third guard of African novelists made up of peers like Uganda's Moses Isegawa and Nigeria's Chris Abani. The books of this younger generation of African writers (heirs to the continent's greats from Chinua Achebe to Mark Mathabane) shed the starched language and steep romanticism of Africa's literary tradition to expose the rawer, hipper, more vulgar aspects of life as lived by most Africans today.''
