Among Kings
Author: Joey O'Connor

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
"Joey rivets you in the opening pages." "Fascinating historical fiction." "LOVE this book!" Epic storyteller Joey O'Connor leads you into the spellbinding, exotic world of the Scramble for Africa, where the untold story of a high-stakes human rights battle between a missionary and a monarch leads to the world's first international human rights trial. In post-Civil War Virginia, William Sheppard pursues his lifelong dream of becoming a missionary in Africa. But as an African American man, he faces heartbreaking prejudice from the Presbyterian missions board. Unexpectedly, he is matched with an unlikely colleague—the very white Samuel Lapsley. A deep interracial friendship emerges as the two venture deep into the dangerous, Belgian-controlled Congo ruled by the evil King Leopold II. Traveling by steamship 1,000 miles up the Congo River, these two novice missionaries battle lurking pythons, rampant disease, cannibal tribes, and all the King's men. When Sheppard and Lapsley discover Leopold has enslaved the Congo for the rubber and ivory trade, they speak out against the atrocities. Leopold lashes back with a slander lawsuit against Sheppard, leading to the first international human rights trial. Millions of lives hang in the balance. Who will win? The missionary or the monarch? Discover this powerful story of a courageous African American man who risked everything to save an entire nation. Simply Click ★Add To Cart Button★ to Purchase and Start Reading Right Away! Among Kings includes Historical Photos, Author's Note, Book Club Leader’s Guide Questions, and a free excerpt from Joey's new thriller, The Cobalt Curse. Author Interview What makes Among Kings unique? Why should readers care about William Sheppard? William Sheppard is one of the most fascinating African Americans, yet he is largely overlooked in Black History. He is one of the most unknown African American heroes in America. I became intrigued by Sheppard's story after my brother-in-law gave me a book about Sheppard. As we researched his life and work, it was clear Sheppard was a beloved missionary and explorer. He was lauded by kings, queens, and U.S. Presidents. One of the most famous Americans of his day, he spoke at black and white churches all over the East Coast. He is a model of courage, compassion, and what it means to stand against injustice. Why did you write this book? In our research, we learned that in the past 20 years over six million people have died in the Congo. It’s the world’s most overlooked humanitarian crisis. What began as curiosity turned into outrage. Here in America, outrage over the racism still in our society inspired us to pursue what an interracial friendship like Sheppard and Lapsley might offer us today.

Soon we find ourselves sarcastic instead of sympathetic, condemning instead of compassionate, and far from that match made in heaven. Packed with hilarious anecdotes and thoughtful insights, I Love You Unconditionally...On One Condition reveals that although marriages have their mountaintop moments, we spend most of our time in the valley of everyday living. Using 1 Corinthians 13, Joey O'Connor offers fresh insights into the marvelous, messy, and often mundane moments of married life.

Awaken Your Authentic Self
Author: Tony Fahkry
Publisher: Tony Fahkry
ISBN: 1446761649
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Complete acceptance of our identity is central to our way of life, given every interaction emerges from our authentic self. The Dalai Lama said it puzzled him why so many people in the West suffer from low self-esteem and lack of acceptance. Our personal needs are met when we honor our authentic self. The media’s influence portrays a fictitious world that doesn’t meet our needs. We are inundated with information to convince us of a news story we can’t live without. Yet, we are no better off because we avoid realizing our own authenticity. 'Awaken Your Authentic Self' is a book to reconnect you with the core of your essential self. It is a move away from whom you should be espoused by popular culture. The book invites you to reconnect with the deepest part of your being which knows who you are and how you should live. We are encoded with the DNA to thrive. Yet, through cultural conditioning and paradigms, we lose our place to the pull of our external environment. We subscribe to ideologies and beliefs regarding who we should be because we want to be accepted. This comes at a cost to our self-worth since we give up an aspect of ourselves and lose our authenticity. However, standing out has become a rite of passage insofar as the clothes one wears, hair color, body piercings and decorations. It may be viewed as a show of defiance instead of a proclamation of distinction. You have more power than you realize. More genius than you can imagine. More wisdom and knowledge than you can ever access. This is not a patronizing statement to seduce you into a false belief. You have unlimited power, and accessing that power is the basis to 'Awaken Your Authentic Self.' When you let go of the false belief that you are lacking or inadequate, in that moment you arouse your potential. Who you are today results from your beliefs, thoughts, and ideas of the world. Unless you challenge the status quo, you remain one of the masses. One has only look to mainstream culture to see the effects the media and marketing hype have on our society. We are drawn into a fictitious way of life at the expense of our sanity and earned dollars.
