In Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, Moses is not just Gods chosen leader of the Jews but also a precursor of the future Messiah, Jesus. Anthony Selvaggio focuses upon the redemptive-historical aspects of Moses life.

Gregory sat in a small cell that he shared with another inmate and questioned, "why am I here?Lord? What did I do wrong to cost me the rest of my life in prison with a walking death sentence? Please let me know, I am man enough to handle it, but I need to know where I went wrong?" The answer came in three simple words, "It was rigged!" As soon as Gregory was arrested for a murder and assault that his mentally ill brother committed, he set out on a course to prove just how a judicial system that he believed in could be so corrupt that they would concoct a story that would send an innocent man away for the rest of his life. He could not fight it alone so from the time he was locked up in St. Louis City Jail he prayed that the Lord would send someone who would believe in his innocence to help him. Little did he know his help was going to come from one Michigan white woman who fought alongside him until the governor commuted his sentence. His fight did not end there because there was still the scar on his name, and he had to clear his name. He entered a fight that would take years to unravel the "Gordian Knot" of corruption and the legal lies that surrounded his name. He never wavered in his faith in the Lord's leading which caused him to be mocked and jeered at for over twenty years. He discovered that through all of this, the Lord moves in steps and stages, and in his heart he was able to be "Walking Free" in the Word of God.

A compelling examination of the ways enslaved women fought for their freedom during and after the Revolutionary War.

Published in 1855, My Bondage and My Freedom is the second autobiography by Frederick Douglass. Douglass reflects on the various aspects of his life, first as a slave and than as a freeman. He depicts the path his early life took, his memories of being owned, and how he managed to achieve his freedom. This is an inspirational account of a man who struggled for respect and position in life.

Born into slavery in 1818, Frederick Douglass escaped to freedom and became a passionate advocate for abolition and social change and the foremost spokesperson for the nation’s enslaved African American population in the years preceding the Civil War. My Bondage and My Freedom is Douglass’s masterful recounting of his remarkable life and a fiery condemnation of a political and social system that would reduce people to property and keep an entire race in chains. This classic is revisited with a new introduction and annotations by celebrated Douglass scholar David W. Blight. Blight situates the book within the politics of the 1850s and illuminates how My Bondage represents Douglass as a mature, confident, powerful writer who crafted some of the most unforgettable metaphors of slavery and freedom—indeed of basic human universal aspirations for freedom—anywhere in the English language.

Did you know that many of America’s Founding Fathers—who fought for liberty and justice for all—were slave owners? Through the powerful stories of five enslaved people who were “owned” by four of our greatest presidents, this book helps set the record straight about the role slavery played in the founding of America. From Billy Lee, valet to George Washington, to Alfred Jackson, faithful servant of Andrew Jackson, these dramatic narratives explore our country’s great tragedy—that a nation “conceived in liberty” was also born in shackles. These stories help us know the real people who were essential to the birth of this nation but traditionally have been left out of the history books. Their stories are true—and they should be heard. This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.
