The African American Book of Values by Steven Barboza (Author) (Hardcover - Sep 15, 1998) In this massive anthology, Steven Barboza reveals the story of the African American as largely a story of good triumphing over evil, in a myriad of forms. "This book," he writes, "can give children, families, teachers and friends glimpses of values in action and provide moral examples that any reader can recognize." Culled from many short-story and novel excerpts, poems, and essays, the collection is divided into three distinct headings. "The Book of Self-Mastery" examines self-discipline, courage, honesty, self-esteem, work, tenacity, creativity, and faith through texts such as Ralph Ellison's "Little Man at Chehaw Station," historian Charles Blockson's heroic "The Ballad of the Underground Railroad," and Alain Locke's philosophical battle cry of the Harlem Renaissance, "The New Negro." Charles Chesnutt's "The Wife of His Youth," James Weldon Johnson's stereotype-smashing look at Harlem in "Black Manhattan," and Martin Luther King's immortal "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" illuminate many of the themes in "The Book of Empathy," including family, community and responsibility.

In the midst of his troubles, Jurney discovers that he is the father of a precious, yet abused nine-year-old girl! Situations and conversations present an entertaining vehicle that serves to remind all communities of the importance, and awesome power of perception.

It's My Prerogative by Gayle Woodard (Author) (Paperback - Dec 15, 2007) Suddenly being thrust into the role of First Lady of a great church can be a daunting experience for any woman. She is now expected to be an example to all, and all eyes are suddenly upon her-whether she likes it or not. She is expected to pick up many mantles of ministry-whether or not she seems suited to them. She is expected to be wife, mother, professional woman and community organizer-all at once. But how can any woman successfully juggle so many roles? More importantly, her man is not "the man" of the hour. She has always been expected to stand beside him, but now that phrase has taken on new meaning. What does it mean to stand by your man in ministry in the twenty-first century?
