What is happening in the African-American community? Pastor Frederick D. Haynes expounds for us on what is taking place in the African-American community through a series of sermons in Healing Our Broken Village. "Generally speaking, the African-American village, or community, of today, is broken,"says Dr. Haynes in the introduction, "When our village is broken that indicates that there are broken people in our village, and when we have broken people, we have broken families, a broken economy, broken churches and broken schools."

showmeafamily.jpgThe American family is under attack like never before. Young people, especially, are straying from the fold and families are losing their moral center. Since the family is the nucleus of society, every effort to shape and influence society's moral, social, political and economic trend in order to redeem the American family must begin within the family itself. From this book, Show Me A Family, readers will gain a fresh and new understanding of the importance of the family, not just in their personal lives, but in the community as a whole. They will get a better understanding of the cause and effect of family problems and solutions on how to bring their families back into the fold. Show Me a Family provides a road map from pain and anger through God's agape love to bring about healing in families across this nation.

Be the Man God Made You To Be nomoreexcuses.jpg

Men have no more excuses for not being the man God wants them to be. Stop trying to run away from your reality, wishing and hoping. The very problems and difficulties that we face each day are the very tools God is using to mold us and to make us into His image and thus into the man He wants us to be. Many men are not equipped to face the emotional pain and spiritual setbacks that come our way. Most of us can handle the physical knockdown of life, but it takes more guts to handle the emotional and spiritual struggles because those are what draw us closer to God. No More Excuses if filled with encouraging advice to bring us through each day as we strive toward spiritual maturity.

The rise and fall of black America and how she can rise again. 

Black America was once in the spotlight, so to speak, but over the years that spotlight has faded. Samuel Madison shows how we can point the spotlight back on black America and once again give her back the glory she once had. Just as Hosea preached to the people to turn away from their wicked ways so that they can once again receive the blessing of God, Madison is encouraging black America to turn away from their wicked ways and turn back to God so that He can lift them up again and thus deliver them from shame to glory.

Living Life Without Limits repositionyourself.jpg

Bishop T. D. Jakes reminds us that God owns everything as he recounts to us his own childhood of poverty to now leader of the nation's largest church--all through faith. Faith, he recalls for us, "is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." He took this verse to heart, and changing his mentality--repositioned himself--to receive God's spiritual and material blessings. He encourages his readers to do the same--have faith in God, but at the same time, doing their part and accepting their responsibility in whatever situation they are in. Citing biblical verses and observations by successful people, Jakes offers practical advice on how to put your faith into action. If you want to mature in your daily walk with the Lord, this book is for you, as a successful walk with the Lord is one of faith.
