Now, the inspiring history of black women in America is explored in vivid detail by two leaders in the fields of African American and women's history. A Shining Thread of Hope chronicles the lives of black women from indentured servitude in the early American colonies to the cruelty of antebellum plantations, from the reign of lynch law in the Jim Crow South to the triumphs of the Civil Rights era, and it illustrates how the story of black women in America is as much a tale of courage and hope as it is a history of struggle. On both an individual and a collective level, A Shining Thread of Hope reveals the strength and spirit of black women and brings their stories from the fringes of American history to a central position in our understanding of the forces and events that have shaped this country.

Imagine if you could find a simple, proven, and ethical way to get out of debt, make sound investments, and build substantial wealth for your family and community. In The Biblical Money Code, Sean Hyman describes how to do just that, offering sound wealth-creation strategies surprisingly embedded in this ancient text. Sean Hyman not only reveals some powerful investment secrets used by such tycoons as Warren Buffet and Sir John Templeton, but also those of King Solomon, the Apostle Paul, and even Jesus of Nazareth. By putting these secrets into play, the author was able to go from a pastor's income of $15K per year, to giving away $50K per year; he also helped his father turn a $40K retirement account into $396K nest egg. Many mis-quote the Bible as telling us, "Money is the root of all evil." But quoting the great book precisely, Timothy 6:10 cautions: "For the love of money that is the root of all kinds of evil." The Biblical Money Code will teach you how to "un-love" money, while emphasizing the fact that it's simply a medium of exchange -- there is nothing inherently bad about it, it's how we go about getting it and how we use it that makes all the difference. The author will demonstrate how to avoid get-rich-quick investments that can snare even the savviest of money-managers, in favor of a simple trick that will allow you to purchase stocks at a 50 percent discount. True wealth is earned over time, and by applying Sean Hyman's risk-mitigation techniques, you'll be well on your way to building the long-term security you've only dreamed of.
