From Cottonfields To Kingdom

Legacy Of A Mississippi Man To His Children

Beschreibung

What Is A Man?? The burning question I pondered during my young adult life. Seeking to give Meaning to my existence, as well as an explanation to my progeny. Growing up in rural Mississippi during the 1960's - 1980's era, proved to be a challenging feat for the common man. The young black men & women I grew up with, appeared lost & confused. In the aftermath of the Vietnam war, Civil Rights Legislation being passed, and the Nation appearing to embrace "Justice and Equality". America gripped in the lingering sorrow and division over the deaths of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, Medgar Evers, Robert Kennedy and many other popular and not so popular "John Doe Jones". So called for those I didn't know, that gave their tears, sweat, blood and lives yet went unnoticed. Slow-cooking and seething in this cauldron of humanity were a people spawned, a "peculiar people" among Whom I reside, "The Kingdom Culture" I like to call them. A people who believe God (YAHVEH) to be the Supernatural Being he says we were made in the image of. As we acknowledge, receive and reflect the resident Spiritual power within us to manifest the Sons Of God throughout the World!!! Peace & Love Always, as we reside in this ETERNAL, NOW!!! Joseph Love Jones

Autor

This book is written as an instructional tool to my children in an effort to show them a vivid picture of my childhood and to give them insight into my mother's life and some of their other ancestors, as well as to educate them in a way that the school system has failed to enlighten them concerning their African cultural heritage. It is my heartfelt belief and experiential knowledge that a child must be taught who they are, where they come from, what they are, and what is their purpose for creation and existence. If not taught by a loving parent, spiritual mentor, or advisor, any child without GOD's providential guidance (as in my case) is blindly and sadly set up for tragedy, violence, and a misdirected loyalty to a cold harsh worldly system ran by demonic forces that only seek to control, destroy and ultimately kill their SPIRIT that GOD gave them with unlimited potential for "KINGDOM" GREATNESS!! -DADDY LOVE JONES
