  • Each of us is called to assure our families, “I will cover you, no matter what it takes. You can count on me to watch over your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Count on me to provide for your needs. Count on me to nurture your dreams.” As Pastor Hairston notes, our tomorrows will be shaped by how well we cover our loved ones today. We must cover in our homes, our churches, our communities, and beyond. We must usher in what is good—and slam the door right in evil’s face. Cover Her is a clarion call to step up, to man up. This book will help you be the husband that your wife adores. The father a kid can look up to. The man who inspires other men to think, I want to be more like him. Meanwhile, the devil says, “Uh-oh. I am in big trouble with this guy around!”

  • Written for the lady who has struggled to figure out the best ways to care for the needs, thoughts, and feelings of the husband, father, son, or brother she loves. Cover Him is a coaching manual -- a practical guide for understanding what men often need, think, and feel but rarely express with words. Ladies you will gain relationship wisdom and vital insights to help strengthen your connections with the men who mean the most to you!

  • In "Beyond Roots: In Search of Blacks in the Bible," Rev. William Dwight McKissic launches a search of his own, taking us from the days of Kunta Kinte to the very birth of humanity. His exegetical and historical perspectives shed light on important considerations for all Black believers:•Were there prominent Black characters in the Bible? Who were they? What role did they play?•Were any of the biblical writers Black?•Is there biblical evidence of a “curse” on dark-skinned people?•Did Black people receive Christ in slavery, or did they bring their faith with them to the shores of America?•Were there Black people on the earth before the days of Noah?•What role did Africans play in the early days of the Christian faith?"Beyond Roots: In Search of Blacks in the Bible" picks up where traditional theological training leaves off and restores to Black Christians their biblical birthright.

  • Today’s world is torn apart. Tension is everywhere. Brother is pitted against brother, sister against sister, citizen against citizen, even Christian against Christian. It’s so hard to find agreement—much less real harmony—in our polarized society. Can there be a way forward?

    Tony Evans knows how elusive unity can be. As a black man who’s also a leader in white evangelicalism, he understands how hard it can be to bring these worlds together. Yet he’s convinced that the gospel provides a way for Christians to find oneness despite the things that divide us. In the Word of God, we find a kingdom-based approach to matters of history, culture, the church, and social justice. In this book, you’ll get:

  • The first question the New Testament asks a Black man found reading Old Testament Scripture is ?Do you understand what you are reading?? (Acts 8:30) The Ethiopian replied, ?How can I, except some man should guide me?? Whether Black or White, the problem is that we have all been misguided, and it is my honor to guide you to the heritage of sacred Black history written in ?the Scripture of truth?. Theologians and Bible teachers that exclude, explain away, diminish, or ignore the contributions of the Black people that God placed in Scripture might as well exclude the cross from Jesus Christ because in the Old Testament, Black people are the backdrops that God used to highlight His greatest acts. Scripture itself testifies of this in regards to the most powerful African king in the Old Testament stating ?for this cause I [God] raised thee [Pharaoh] up to make my name known throughout all the earth? (Rom 9:17). Blacks are the canvas on which much Old Testament Scripture is painted. Apart from the Blacks that are in the Bible, there is no Ethiopia that means ?land of burnt faces? in Genesis? Garden of Eden and no ?Ethiopian eunuch? for Philip to preach Jesus ?unto? in the New Testament (Gen 2:13; Acts 8:27).

  • This volume contains five papers selected from a series of sixty published by the author under five general title "Doorway Papers, over a period of some fifteen years from 1957 to 1973. The first paper sets forth the basic concept that from the three sons of Noah have arisen three divisions of the human race which, even at this time, can still be sorted out and identified with a measure of certainity.

  • This essay is an effort to highlight the influence of Ethiopia in the history of Civilization. It also devotes consider time to suggesting that Ethiopia’s contribution has been either misunderstood or intentionally ignored by mainstream historians and scholars. Jackson culls research from Archaeology, Comparative Religion, History and Classical Antiquity to propose that contributions from Ethiopia were at the forefront of many of the developments later taken credit for by “White” scholars.
