God the Black Man, and Truth
Ben Ammi
Every soul on the planet would benefit from reading this book. I read it eight years ago and my life has never been the same. There's something about Ben Ammi's words that are just not debatable. Once you hear absolute truth, you'll recognize it immediately, because it's provable and knowable...it's not mythical.

Forgotten Israelites
Shadrock -
This book contains Biblical proof, revealing the cause of the Blackman's Downfall. It gives spiritual instructions and advice on how to regain and retain self respect and honor. A book for everyone but especially for the Blackman and Black woman in America.  The Forgotten Israelites reaches in the very depths of your emotion, both as a spiritual person, and as a woman. It also reminds the man of his own spiritual roots, and reveals the connection between the child of slavery and the child of Israel. Another masterpiece by the authority "Shadrock". It gives spiritual instructions and advice on how to regain and retain self respect and honor. A book for everyone but especially for the Blackman and Black woman in America.
 

Israelites So-called Negroes
Bernard Hooks;
Passion of Christ or Passion of the Negro, which is it that you seek truth or entertainment? Could the Negro in America be the prophetic reality of what was foretold to happen to the Son of God? Could the suffering the Negro endured in his history be the reflections of reasoning why his life has shown great pain? The prophetic record of the Bible says in Exodus 4:22 the Nation of Israel was God's Son his first born, further it goes on to say in the book of Isaiah 49:6 that this Nation Israel not individual person would be the salvation unto the end of the earth. In the Hebrew Yehoshua means YAH´s (God) salvation. Israel has been called the anointed, which the Hebrew meaning is Messiah. In the Jesus story of the Bible it mentions Christ suffering long hours hanging on the cross, has it been forgotten the many days the Negro hung on trees throughout America?


 

The African Origin of Modern Judaism:
From Hebrews to Jews
Jose V. Malcoln;
"This book deals with an aspect of human history and experience often suppressed or misrepresented. It raises the question: Who are the Jews and what is their proper place in history? Mr. Malcioln presents to his readers a much more convincing answer than that of other authors better known than he." -Dr. John Henrik, Clarke, author of Africans at the Crossroads

"[Dr. Malcioln] demonstrates the relationship between Black Hebrews and White Jews, Arabic-speaking Africans and Arabs. [This book] is important for members of all monotheistic religions that originated in the same region to understand their own ancient beginnings and their ancestral ties to each other. History as it relates to the common origin of man, without self-serving revisions by European historians, is not a subject most publications and bookstores are prepared to handle." -Amsterdam News, New York.

Ancient Mysteries of Melchizedek
Nabi Moshe Y. Lewis  

From Babylon to Timbuktu
by Rudolph R. Windsor
This carefully researched book is a significant addition to this vital fold of knowledge. It sets forth, in fascinating detail, the history, from earliest recorded times, of the black races of the Middle East and Africa. Mr. Windsor has done his research well. If anyone has any doubt, I refer him to the biblical text Deut. Chapter 28. The only group that fulfills the prophesy in this text is people of the African Diaspora. There is simply no dispute. I challenge every black American to read this book and judge for themselves. I guarantee that as you read the text, a light bulb will go off...

JACOBS, a European Jew and historian, "tells it like it was" in this documentary which proves conclusively that most people of African descent living in America and other parts of the Western Hemisphere, as a result of the African Slave Trade (1517 - 1808), are offspring of the ancient Israelites.

BIBLICAL HISTORY:

History of the Ancient Black Races 

The Rescue of Jerusalem:
The Alliance Between Hebrews and Africans in 701 B.C.
Henry Trocme Aubin;
Whereas biblical accounts attribute the Assyrian retreat to divine intervention, journalist Henry Aubin offers an explanation that is miraculous in its own light: the siege was broken by the arrival of an army from Kushite Egypt--an army, that is, made up of black Africans. These Kushites figured in historical texts, Aubin continues, until the late 19th century, when racist scholars expunged them from the record--a process that, Aubin observes, coincided with the European conquest and colonization of Africa.
The account of the long-forgotten African and Hebrew alliance that rescued Jerusalem will change the face of Jewish and African history and contribute to a fresh understanding of our world today.

Guns, Germs, and Steel:
The Fates of Human Societies
Author: Jared Diamond;

"This book attempts to provide a short history of everybody for the last 13,000 years."
 

In Jared Diamond's book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and UCLA professor of geography and physiology states:

“We instinctively associate Semitic peoples with the Near East. However, . . . Semitic languages really form only one of six or more branches of a much larger language family, Afro-asiatic, all of whose other branches (and other 222 surviving languages) are confined to Africa.

Even the Semitic family subfamily itself is mainly African, 12 of its 19 surviving languages being confined to Ethiopia. This suggests that Afroasiatic languages arose in Africa, and that only one branch of them spread to the Near East. Hence, it may have been Africa that gave birth to the languages spoken by the authors of the Old and New Testaments and the Koran, the moral pillars of Western civilization.”

Black Zion: African American Religious Encounters With Judaism (Religion in America Series) Yvonne Chireau; Black Zion explores the myriad ways in which African American religions have encountered Jewish traditions, beliefs, and spaces. The collection's unifying argument is that religion is the missing piece of the cultural jigsaw puzzle, that much of the recent turmoil in black-Jewish relations would be better understood, if not alleviated, if the religious roots of those relations were illuminated.

THE WORD is out! You can hold in your hands one of the most significant books of our times. It is the most complete etymological dictionary of the English language, but it is far more than that. THE WORD shall prove that: English is ultimately from Biblical Hebrew. All languages ultimately link up, and only through variations of the original, universal language (Hebrew). Every word ever thought or spoken is merely a disguised form of Hebrew. Hebrew is on the tip of your tongue. The primordial human language system (Hebrew) is a natural science like physics or chemistry. Only the "DNA" of Hebrew letters reveals the FL/LF element in FoLio and LeaF (synonyms) and the MN/NM in opposing NuMber words like MiNus and MaNy. Even animal names have hidden, profound meanings: GIRAFFE (a presumed Italian and Arabic corruption) means "neck"; SKUNK (to English via the Algonquian Indian) means "stink" in the language ascribed to our ancestor Adam.
