This book is personally passionate. In Sickness and in Health: A Celebration of Spousal Caregivers emerges from within the passion of Jim's personal experience. He refuses to let ALS write the last chapter; he is writing it himself. You may be wondering how he gathered the energy to write In Sickness and in Health: A Celebration of Spousal Caregivers. His passion for adding value to the lives of others compelled him to pick up his pen with his ALS-impacted hand and honor those who invest their hearts and souls giving care to others. His life's experiences told him that he must tell the story in order to shed light on the unsung heroes in the home. The tender touch of those who care and are caregivers just strikes the chords of the heart. He remembers his mother taking care of her husband (his father). And now he experiences his wife (and his daughter) taking care of her husband (him).

Black Empowerment must be accompanied by an "Attitude," the right kind of attitude, if we are going to build an economic future for our children, if we are serious about obtaining an economic foothold in our neighborhoods with the goal of turning them from "hoods" into real communities, and if we are determined to move from being consumers, for the most part, to producers, wholesalers, retailers, and distributors.

The latest offering from the nation's most prolific writer on economic empowerment for Black people, Clingman's fifth book on the subject, aptly describes the dominant-submissive relationship between economics and politics, respectively. It contains stark and sometimes biting commentary, statistical data, and documentary information, with thought-provoking quotations sprinkled throughout. Beginning with the run-up to the U.S. presidential election in 2007, and ending with practical tactics and strategies for economic and political success heading into the 2016 election, Black Dollars Matter is a searchlight to find solutions; it is also a spotlight that illuminates the way forward-and it definitely admonishes us to "teach our dollars how to make more sense."

Black-O-Knowledge is a compendium of views, facts, statistics, and insights that, if taken seriously, can help African Americans win this war against economic deprivation. This book is comprised of many lessons passed down by our elders, lessons that admonish and direct African Americans along the path of economic freedom. Black-O-Knowledge is a "call for an end to the madness" of economic enslavement of Black people; and it's a life jacket that has been thrown to the Black men and women of today.
