Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15
Books passed over in stores, a book given as a gift and is barely read, a must-read lies in a pile of stuff, and another great work is bagged up and dropped off at a local thrift store. Unlike their uneducated predecessors, many African Americans who know how to read, look for excuses to avoid reading. "I got better things to do. I don't like to read. I haven't found anything interesting enough to read. I did enough of that in school."
Sometimes the key to one's life dilemmas is found in the book you avoid. Challenges are often solved after a person takes the time to read about it. Years of struggle come to a swift end when a book is finally opened and read from cover-to-cover. So many of our people, who read and comprehend well, would rather watch a screen that oftentimes gives limited information while putting your mind in a trance. There is only so much a host of a television show, a speaker at a conference, or a celebrity seated before an audience can say in an hour or two.
The books below speak of different times in black culture that inspire, call men and women to a higher standard. They tell stories of black life that you most likely didn't learn about in elementary, middle and high school. Enjoy the suggested titles along with some great gift items. Your purchase supports this blog. Thank you!
