HOW TO MAKE A NEGRO CHRISTIAN MAY BE THE BANNED BOOK OF OUR TIMES!

Author and lecturer stresses that Africans around the world will never truly be free until they return to African Spirituality

Tehuti, who is a respected lecturer, writer, and practitioner of a traditional African spirituality system (Akan), is fully committed to helping Africans throughout the Diaspora obtain knowledge of their culture and history-especially as it relates to African spirituality. For the last five years, he has consistently edited and contributed to “Afrikan World Analysis”, a newsletter published by his company, Bolekaja Enterprises. His controversial debut book, How to Make a Negro Christian, was first published in 2006, and was well received by a limited audience. The book will be re-released this spring as a second edition, which will include a new cover.

“I am excited about bringing out the book to a wider audience. However, I am not naïve in thinking that there will be no opposition to the truth that we are an Afrikan people, and we will never truly be free until we return to our Afrikan Spirituality,” says Tehuti.

fear, longing and lack of knowledge don't help either

add in conditioning but fear to me does it all in, because if you had the knowledge there would be no need for fear thus no platform for conditioning

Yes SiS Linda, sounds Black for a book club type discussion and I'd love to have one right here when we all get the book...those who plan to do so!

Brother's Convo, Khasm, Da Street So'ja who got banned and Jahri Kavi..

I had the same thoughts as you in terms of the interest in learning more in this piece. I LOVE the offer for a FREE BOOK with the purchase of this and I saw a couple titles in that section I'd like to have as well.

Brother Khasm ain't told no lie with the "get time to read" yet, I'm going to purchase the book now. Ummm...now seems to be a good time to get Brother Keita's book and I suppose Clyde's work will add more pieces to this puzzle.

Anywho....If ya'll get the book anytime soon, let's talk about it here!
