You will be enlightened
Format: Paperback
Per the author, this book is “intended as a supplement to existing literature on African and Black Hebrew history.” If you are not looking for such, this will not be the book for you. This may be why some reviewers find the book to be a disappointment. What makes this book great is that it is detailed-oriented, factual, and intends to drive points home for the reader. Even more, it sparks your curiosity on the subject matter, as intended. Many of us have been brainwashed and forced into believing historical occurrences that are false and biased so I can understand why some individuals find this book challenging to accept, believe, and understand; however, that’s what makes the book great –it encourages you to research and to come to an educated conclusion. I have been enlightened by this book; however, it is repetitive in some areas. It is not written as most of our “modern” books, following certain standards of writing and, therefore, can be considered challenging to read, but after I finished it I was happy that I did read it because my world has become even larger. Yet, that does not discredit the author or the book itself. This is not your typical book and as it is a supplement, be equipped with a search engine, history books, the bible, and more. I promise that you will see most of the points and historical accounts provided are indeed true.
