The Debt
by Randall Robinson
|
This is a book everyone should read. It will definitely stir up emotions - defense only to those who
have closed their eyes and ears to truth. It is time for us as white Americans to ask the question -
"Why do we continually try so hard to destroy a people whose only difference is the color of their
skin?" It is amazing to me that when a people tell the truth that the oppressor doesn't like they are
relegated to the position of one who is inferior and should not be heard. Truth does win out, many
times after those who speak it are long gone. I commend Mr. Robinson for speaking the truth -
hopefully more will open their ears to hear, let it sink in and one day realize that all people are
created equal in the eyes of universal intelligence. It seems to be only those with limited intelligence
and an addiction to power over those not in one's “elite” group who speak the loudest and force
those not within the “group” to consider us not equal.

Yesterday I Cried : Celebrating the Lessons of Living and Loving
by Iyanla Vanzant
Click Book To Buy
|
What is the lesson in abuse, neglect, abandonment, rejection?
What is the lesson when you lose someone you really love?
Just what are the lessons of life's hard times?
Bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant has had an amazing and difficult life -- one of great challenges that
unmasked her wonderful gifts and led to wisdom gained. In this simple book, she uses her own
personal experiences to show how life's hardships can be re-languaged and re-visioned to become
lessons that teach us as we grow, heal, and learn to love. The pain of the past does not have to be
today's reality. Iyanla Vanzant is an example of how yesterday's tears become the seeds of today's
hope, renewal, and strength. Just like so many who have read this book, I, too, couldn't hold back the tears. I cried for Iyanla
and even for myself when I noticed some similarities in our lives. Then I cried happy tears when
Iyanla triumphed and slowly emerged as a woman of great insight after quietly suffering from years
of abuse, neglect, and lack of affection. In the end, I was left with a soulful, lighthearted feeling
knowing fully well that everything has a purpose in life, and that in the long run, my life, too, will
miracously prevail in a manner that someday will make me look back, smile, and say, "I wouldn't
have changed a thing."

I am an overweight,educated,black male. I can truely identify with Sonny. The situations he
presented in the book were extreme, yet funny. Reminded me of times being on a plane or working
with children and the things some of them say about overweight people. You really can't and
shouldn't get to upset.
The book strongly suggest that there are others that are battling to lose weight and keep it off and
that gives one the encourgement to again strive for a better lifestyle.
The humor with the other charaters was also really enjoyed and appreciated.

Milk in My Coffee
by Eric Jerome Dickey

This was a great book, EJD's best yet. It started off really good and interesting, but then lagged off
in the middle with the problems with Jordan's brother Reggie. I mean, it was interesting, but I really
didn't see what it had to do with the story. But it picked up at the end again, when Kimberly's,
Solomon's, and J'Nette's secrets come out. The characters were very believable (especially Jordan
and Zoe). I give EJD 2 thumbs up for this one and I can't wait to read Cheaters.

Labelle Cuisine : Recipes to Sing About
by Patti LaBelle, Laura B. Randolph (Contributor)
 Buy this Book Today!
|
"From the time I was a little girl, I knew there were two things in this world I wanted to do: sing and
cook." So says singer-diva Patti LaBelle, whose first cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine, confirms her
passion for good food and her skill at producing it. A truly devoted cook (she travels with pans and
hot-sauce stashes), LaBelle offers more than 100 recipes in the great Southern soul-food
tradition--homey dishes such as Say-My-Name Smothered Chicken and Aunt Hattie's
Scrumptious Sweet Potato Bread. LaBelle fans and those seeking simple yet savory fare for
everyday and casual entertaining will relish the book.
In chapters including "Sensational Salads," "Soups and Sandwiches," "Perfect Poultry," and
"To-Die-For Desserts and Bread," LaBelle weaves easy-to-do recipes with warm food
reminiscences. Whether describing a backstage barbecue resulting in a building-wide fire alert, her
undying love of canned sardines, or the soulful Sunday dinners of her youth, LaBelle's voice is, as
ever, memorably her own. The recipes, many of which include tips called Patti's Pointers, represent
not only a personal culinary heritage, but also a kind of cooking in danger of dissolution. LaBelle's
Over-the-Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese, among other recipes, should remind readers that that
heritage is alive, well, and in very good hands. --Arthur Boehm

The author designates her main female characters "gingersnaps--spicy, and hard, brown and
bold--women who refuse to let their cookies crumble when faced with a challenge." The six snaps
include Aletha, a talk-show host; her sister Desiree, the psychologist; Veronica, the executive
director of Aletha's show; Debra, a patient of Desiree's; Janeen, a hot interior-decorator involved
with Aletha and Desiree's brother; and Louise, a best-selling author. All of the women have
experiences that elicit actions that affect their relationships with each other and the men in their lives.
They engage and interact in a world filled with jealousy, ambition, love, and hate, yet each
possesses that inner strength to overcome adversity and rebound with style. Another African
American fictional tale destined for the best-seller list.

Our Kind of People : Inside America's Black Upper Class
by Lawrence Otis Graham
Buy this Book Today!
|
This isn't the best book I've read on this subject, but it was interesting. At times it reads more like a
Who's Who list, and some of us find that entertaining. Some negative attitudes were displayed by a
few of the people in the study, but the majority seem only to want to give their children and
grandchildren better lives. A lot of the readers offering reviews on this site seem to be so
overwhelmed by their unconscious inferiority complexes that they are missing the point of the book.
Graham is NOT saying "Hey everyone, you should do exactly what we did!" This is merely a report
on what certain segments of black society felt they had to do to make it in this crooked world. They
aren't personal attacks on poor or dark-skinned people, and this is obvious to those of us who
aren't so invested in the issues of rich vs poor, light vs dark. As a final note, some of the reviewers
on this site (I will assume you are all intelligent people) are posting good commentaries, yet don't
bother to check their spelling. Naturally, we can't be perfect writers all of the time, but perhaps we
should spend a few extra seconds to double check our reviews. Otherwise, unfortunately, you will
end up sounding rather ignorant.

The Gospel of Good Success: A Six-Step Program to Spiritual, Emotional
and Financial Success
by Kirbyjon H. Caldwell, Mark Seal (Contributor)
Buy this Book Today!
|
Twenty years ago, Kirbyjon H. Caldwell was a fast-track bond broker with an MBA from the
University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. But he turned away from a six-figure
income to answer the call of his Divine purpose. With the explosive power that comes from
combining prayer with action, Caldwell transformed a struggling twenty-five-member congregation
into a lean, mean Kingdom-building machine. The Windsor Village United Methodist Church now
has more than 11,000 members and 120 ministries for everything from job placement and financial
planning to weight loss and alcohol rehabilitation.
The transformation of Windsor began with a simple truth: God wants His children to have good
success! Not just the traditional concept of spiritual blessings, but redemption in every aspect of our
existence: our emotions, career, finances, relationships, health, parenting skills, academic career,
and more.
In The Gospel of Good Success, Caldwell shares with you the six steps that transformed his life
and Windsor Village.
