The ongoing conversation about the value of a woman is presented from a different perspective in The Power of a Woman. Dr. Cassundra White-Elliott presents a biblical perspective of women and compares it to the worldview of both yesterday and today. This comparison seeks to illustrate God's intended purpose for His uniquely designed creation: woman. Dr. Elliott shares God's truth about pre-imposed limitations set by man versus the limitations God Himself set for woman in addition to the wealth of liberality He gave her. Women's creativity and abilities are not meant to be stifled. They are meant to be utilized to bring glory to God, to help sustain and nurture their families, and to move the world forward. Knowing God's truth will show women how to celebrate and appreciate who they are as well as one another! Women, let's take the blinders off, lift our heads up, and march forward, side by side with men, and bring glory and honor to God! Take your rightful place with a gentle smile and grace and be who God called you to be!

ANGELO "BAREFOOT POOKIE" WHITE LIVING LEGACY OF GREAT BLACK LEADERSI am the product of the struggle fought by our legacy of Black folk raised in America. The birth of our community struggle began as early as the year 1619, when the Dutch introduced the first captured Africans to American plantations. The seeds of a slavery system that evolved into a nightmare of abuse and cruelty eventually led people to turn on each other in a quest for resources, power and control in a nation where they were put in a powerless situation for many years of abuse. From the moment the first African slaves were introduced, slavery began.Jamestown, Virginia was a colony where Africans were first brought into north America in 1619. The goal was to use us as a way to make money through crops and working the tobacco fields. The slavery industry continued to grow throughout the next two centuries. The economic system of much of North America was built by sweat and toil of our people. People got rich off of our backs, while building their new nation that we had no voice in controlling.It wasn't until some brave souls began the abolition movement in the north, that the centuries of abuse started to be challenged. The fight over whether our people should be freed divided a nation and resulted in a bloody bath war. The same mentality that made slavery kept our folk in less powerful and unequal situations until the civil rights era where America really challenged unequal practices for the first time.Torn from the rich soils from the motherland of Africa, the origin of our civilized culture where we were kings and queens and warriors, our ancestors found themselves on the shores of America, suddenly stripped and raped of all their dignity and power.Mass oppression during the Jim Crow Era worked to further silence our people, until we began to push back. The 1950's and 60's, when I grew up, was the era of the Black African youth baby boomer generation.The great Black African leaders paved the way for our stories to be written and eventually told.Beginning with our leaders Nat Turner, W.E.B. Dubois, Fredrick Douglass, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin L. King, Jr. Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Sr. and Dr. Ron Karenga, all the way to the descendants of the 1950's and 60's Baby Boomer Generation of great Black leaders: Raymond Lee Washington, Sr. and Stanley "Big Tookie" Williams Both martyred and added their own efforts to the movement for Blacks, Fred Hampton, Jr., Melvin Hardy, Kevin "Good Buddy" Syvester, Louis and Michael Concepcion, and T. Manuel A.K.A. Capucino.

The journey called life has many twists, turns, and uphill battles. Circumstances can catch a person unaware, leading him/her into an abyss of the unexpected. But, the Bible says, "We are not ignorant of Satan's devices," (II Corinthians 2:11). Therefore, we do not have to fall prey to our adversary. Furthermore, with the Lord guiding us, we can make it through any circumstance, regardless of how tumultuous it may be.Audrey Pearl Williams, from the age of thirteen, began to experience a life that was not the life she had planned or envisioned for herself. She had planned to graduate high school and then set out into the world, seeing all God had created for her to enjoy. But, almost in an instant, she found herself married and with child. Then, when she least expected it, her life grew increasingly disparaging, as she suffered through church ridicule and mean-spirited churchgoers, while she attempted to answer the call God had placed upon her life.What became of Audrey after navigating through life's unexpected twists and turns, heartbreak and pains, unfulfilled dreams and losses? Did she eventually gain joy, fulfillment, and peace? Did God finally answer her prayers?As you read this true story of Audrey Pearl's life, revisit your own life's journey and recall the power of God. Remember, He said in His Word, "I will never leave you nor forsake you," (Hebrews 13:5). As Audrey traversed through her life's journey, God was with her every step of the way.

When God created humans and animals, He did not create them to exist alone. Humans are to exist together in communities and help one another.

And remember, you should "Do to others as you would have them do to you" (Luke 6:31).In this book, you will see how animals help one another in the time of need. See what helpful hints you can pick up from them.Ages 2-9

From the moment a baby girl is born, she begins to forge a path and navigate a course that will be unique to only her. From a baby, she will grow through adolescence into teenagerhood and finally on into adulthood. If she were to compare her life with that of any other woman, she may find commonalities, but she will never find another woman who has had every experience she has had. That makes her earthly journey unique and incomparable to the journey of other women.Despite the apparent differences from one woman to the next, leading to incomplete knowledge of another woman's plight, women all over the world have stood in judgment of other women, leading to backbiting, slander, strife, and soiled reputations. When this behavior exists in the church, it impedes the progress the local church makes in building the kingdom of God. This behavior renders women as pawns for Satan's entertainment and his ridicule against God.How can women cease being pawns for the enemy and become Kingdom builders?

African Americans dominate the football profession, but there are so many who don't make it to the pro level or even the college level. Throughout most of their life, many male African Americans grow up focusing on becoming a professional football player but don't develop a backup plan if they don't make the National Football League (NFL). They graduate from high school with plans to be highlighted during college football season, which will make NFL recruiters want to sign them up. The college experience may not totally offer a career plan (because that's usually already in place for a non-athlete), and the athlete does not access his resources to make one. College must always be more than getting by just to play football. While much of NFL success is about how well the player does on the field, much of his success depends on his level of motivation as well. It is that internal motivation that should also force the athlete to succeed in life with an organized vision.So, what motivates a football player? What motivates the athlete once he graduates from high school and begins moving to that next level, the NFL? Maybe, it's how and what he learned about motivation. Using qualitative research, three student athletes were interviewed to help explain some of the impacts learning styles have on their motivations in life and career decisions.The research findings will give insight on how African-American athletes can be motivated to develop a life plan that will assist in their life success when their NFL dream does not come to fruition.
