Book Description
"This book highlights the contributions to Salvation history made by such young heroes as Samuel, David, Jeremiah, The Hebrew Boys, The Boy Jesus, Timothy, and Titus. These biblical superstars’ lives and ministries etched such a profound mark upon the pages of Holy Writ, that without which, the Bible would be incomplete. It is believed that Samuel was as young as twelve years old when he uttered his first prophecies to his beloved mentor, Eli. David was just a teenager when he defeated Goliath, the giant champion of the Philistine army. Some rabbinical sources suggest that Jeremiah was no more than seventeen years old when he began his prophetic ministry. There is overwhelming historical evidence that the Hebrew Boys were still in their teens when they took a stand for their faith in the face of a fiery furnace. Our Lord, Jesus Christ amazed the teachers of the Law in the temple at twelve years old. And Timothy and Titus were very young men, perhaps teenagers when they became apostle Paul’s protégés, joining him on his missionary journeys. This work seeks to understand these young heroes from the vantage point of their historical contexts. In so doing, we have a better appreciation of how their political, economic, religious, and social realities influenced their messages and missions. This book presents their stories in a way that parallels the stories of young Black men in America. At the end of each chapter, there are reflection questions designed to stimulate group discussions. Or, if you are reading for personal devotion, these questions may arouse deep self-reflection. This book also contains beautiful physical depictions of these heroes according to the author’s understanding of the historical images of the people of the Bible"--Amazon.com.

Book Description
How can you move beyond youth group? You already know that youth ministry is about much more than Sunday night Bible study and lock-ins. It's about changing the lives of youth and empowering young heroes to change their world. In this book Efrem Smith provides you with a model for holistic ministry that addresses all the needs of youth--body, soul and spirit. Powerful stories from Smith's urban multiethnic context shape the content of Raising Up Young Heroes. He shows how the fashion, music and lifestyle of the hip-hop culture are permeating youth culture and how you can enter that culture to help your youth meet Jesus. The principles that are the foundation of Raising Up Young Heroes are designed to serve the whole body of Christ. So whatever your own youth group context, you can benefit from the Smith's rich storehouse of experience and his huge heart for today's youth.

Book Description
We live in an age when younger African-American Christians are asking tough questions that previous generations would dare not ask. This generation doesn't hesitate to question the validity of the Scriptures, the efficacy of the church, and even the historicity of Jesus. Young people are becoming increasingly curious about what role, if any, did people of African descent play in biblical history? Or, if the Bible is devoid of Black presence, and is merely a book by Europeans, about Europeans and for Europeans to the exclusion of other races and ethnicities? Dr. Theron D. Williams makes a significant contribution to this conversation by answering the difficult questions this generation fearlessly poses. Dr. Williams uses facts from the Bible, well-respected historians, scientists, and DNA evidence to prove that Black people comprised the biblical Israelite community. He also shares historical images from the ancient catacombs that vividly depict the true likeness of the biblical Israelites. This book does not change the biblical text, but it will change how you understand it.This Second Edition provides updated information and further elucidation of key concepts. Also, at the encouragement of readership, this edition expands some of the ideas and addresses concerns my readership felt pertinent to this topic.
