About 10 years ago, I was working as a security guard assigned to the 11-7 a.m. shift. Once, while on duty, I found myself sitting in my car, looking up in the sky and praying to a higher power about my life. I wanted to be a better man. As I looked up at the moon, I could have sworn I saw an image of a man moving up and down peacefully, like he was doing some sort of a dance, on the image of the moon. Not entirely sure if my eyes were failing me, I reached for my camera—which I always kept in my car—and took a picture of the moon having this “male image”.

Too often, all oppressed people in America are lumped together under the moniker people of color, as if each group's experience under the yoke of systemic racism has the same repercussions. But the American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) hold a unique claim: ADOS, after all, is the only group whose ancestors were forcibly brought to America, enslaved, built much of the wealth of the country, yet continue to be excluded from the same social, political, and economic rights of other Americans. To that end, Rev. Dr. Kevin W. Cosby lays out the first theology of the ADOS movement.

A living lost soul in this book can be a life from the old life to a born-again new life in Jesus. This book is my life of darkness without Jesus, but when Jesus touched me, I was free to worship and praise him for giving his life for me.

It's a great gift from a Holy King who loves like nobody can touch his love. Love is his character; look what he did for me; he will do it for you too.

As we move forward into a new millennium, our greatest answers can be found by exploring the past.
