Book Description
You are born with magic inside you. The power to fight things is residing deep within you, too. Life is a journey to find this magic and power and sometimes, we tend to get lost. This book is also a journey. It has stories and issues that need to be spoken about. It is the reality of today. We all meet with crises, but this is the story of how to take back the best from this rendezvous. Learning never ends, and neither does your magic. The universe will take you where you need to be, but you need to show real strength. Remember that it is all inside you, longing to come out and show the world the miracles you are made up of. Let it.

Book Description
This book, packed with wisdom, practical advice, resources, and encouragement, explores how Christian singles can equip themselves with what they most need to move from one stage of life to the next. Demi Bruce-Cathline knew she could use her own personal experiences in the journey of being a single Christian woman desiring marriage for those who are in a similar position and may feel despondent at this time in their lives. In this helpful book, she takes readers deeper into the insights they may need for growth, covering topics from dealing with jealousy of others to identifying personal areas that would allow from them to be spiritually and emotionally healthy. She also addresses matters of self-value and worth, perspectives on male and female communication, and enjoying the season that God allows at each given time. Each chapter features relatable stories, scriptural backing, and practical advice based on a combination of research, experience, and biblical truth to guide and equip a Christian single in their journey of singlehood to marriage.

Book Description
This book collates thematic reflections on Cameroon music exalting Manu Dibango, one of the first-generation Cameroonian musicians, who bowed to Covid-19 on 24 March 2020. Granted his enormous contribution to Cameroon, African and world music, one would have expected that scholarly books and encyclopaedia of recognition would be written in his honour prior to his demise. However, that was not the case. Like many other musicians in Cameroon, seemingly nothing substantial has been written about Manu Dibango and his music, with the exception, paradoxically, of his autobiography, Three Kilos of Coffee. What exists on this towering and humble giant of Cameroonian and African superstardom is scanty and mostly in the form of grey literature. We must learn to immortalise our artists and popular intellectuals beyond their entertainment value and the photo opportunities that we have with them in their lifetime. The inspiration for this book was drawn from the conviction that one of the best ways of honouring and valorising Manu Dibango would be by taking the cue from his music and then collecting essays generally on music, its role and impact in Cameroon, Africa and beyond.

Book Description
Three novels by a New York Times–bestselling author—including the Pulitzer Prizewinner The Color Purple—that speak to the African experience in America. The Color Purple is Alice Walker’s stunning, Pulitzer Prize–winning novel of courage in the face of oppression. Celie grows up in rural Georgia, navigating a childhood of ceaseless abuse. Not only is she poor and despised by the society around her, she’s badly treated by her family. As a teenager she begins writing letters directly to God in an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear. Her letters span twenty years and record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through the guiding light of a few strong women and her own implacable will to find harmony with herself and her home. In The Temple of My Familiar, Celie and Shug from The Color Purple follow the lives of a brilliant cast of characters, all dealing in some way with the legacy of the African experience in America. From recent African immigrants, to a woman who grew up in the mixed-race rainforest communities of South America, to Celie’s own granddaughter living in modern-day San Francisco, all must come to understand the brutal stories of their ancestors to come to terms with their own troubled lives. Possessing the Secret of Joy portrays Tashi’s tribe, the Olinka, where young girls undergo genital mutilation as an initiation into the community. Tashi manages to avoid this fate at first, but when pressed by tribal leaders, she submits. Years later, married and living in America as Evelyn Johnson, Tashi’s inner pain emerges. As she questions why such a terrifying, disfiguring sacrifice was required, she sorts through the many levels of subjugation with which she’s been burdened over the years. Hailed by the Washington Post as “one of the best American writers of today,” Alice Walker is a master storyteller and a major voice in modern literary fiction. Includes a new letter written by the author on The Temple of My Familiar.

Book Description
In a place where drugs, domestic violence, Incarceration, H.I.V-Aids, and murders are found and encountered on a daily basis, America tends to omit the struggles of the ghetto.This is a book that will reveal the definition of the hood through three sentiments.Antoine is young, ambitious, stubborn, and fearless. Being the stepson of a pastor, at thirteen Antoine gets fully introduced to the street life. 70 percent of Antoine's outlook tells him to "get it how you live", while the other 30 percent says "never lose your integrity". In a world that's full of gunshots, sirens, and rap music, Antoine gets caught up - But regardless of the crime, a son's love for his mother will always be justified.Monique represents the female sentiments of the ghetto. Being from the projects, Monique and her home girls are only the typical clubbing click. Even though Monique would rather stay at home and cater to her man Lester, if Lester is never at the house himself, what else is there for her to do? While one of Monique's home girls lives the life of promiscuity, Monique only wants her man - But if Lester skeletons come out the closet, should she still want him?What's a hood without its glitter? Jersey Phat will represent the silver and gold glitter of South Side Baton Rouge. Jersey Phat theory is simple; get money, stay out of jail, and shine hard! While Jersey Phat is no doubt a trendsetter, he encounters the rich and famous, and will go down in history as another ghetto legend.
