Say Yes to No Debt: 12 Steps to Financial Freedom
Drawing on his personal experience and years as a pastor, public policy maker, and community leader, DeForest 'Buster' Soaries, Jr. shares the twelve steps to achieving financial freedom in this groundbreaking, life-changing book--Say Yes to No Debt. 'The idea that debt is actually slavery is offensive to all of our sensibilities,' says Soaries, 'but when we continue to spend what we don't have, charge what we don't need, and borrow more than we can repay, then we must call the problem what it is: slavery. Eliminating debt is the first step toward financial freedom. And we can do it.' This is not another financial literacy program assuming that all people need is information. Soaries believes living in debt is an emotional, spiritual, and psychological problem as much as it is an educational and informational one. Here, Soaries shares the twelve steps to financial freedom that have helped families in hundreds of churches. By replacing the 'get more money' mentality with a 'get out of debt' approach to financial freedom, not only were thousands of people able to become debt free, churches that have used the dfree® strategy have experienced increased giving by their members. Find out how you can leave a financial legacy of your own by saying yes to no debt. Says Soaries: 'There may be no greater need than to understand that debt-free living is the first step toward financial freedom. And the result is that we can enjoy life and leave a real legacy for our children.'

A keen and critical observer, Troupe captures and conveys the power of Miles's presence, the mesmerizing force of his personality, and the restless energy that lay at the root of his creativity. Offering an unparalleled look at the act of creation and the forces behind it, Miles and Me reveals how the innovations of one person can inspire both those he knows and loves and the world at large.

The Slaves' War: The Civil War in the Words of Former Slaves
Groundbreaking, compelling, and poignant, The Slaves' War delivers an unprecedented vision of the nation's bloodiest conflict, as acclaimed historian Andrew Ward gives us the first narrative of the Civil War told from the perspective of those whose destiny it decided. This is the first narrative of the Civil War told by the very people that it freed. Groundbreaking, compelling, and poignant, The Slaves' War delivers an unprecedented vision of the nation's bloodiest conflict. An acclaimed historian of nineteenth-century and African American history, Andrew Ward gives us the first narrative of the Civil War told from the perspective of those whose destiny it decided. Woven together from interviews, diaries, letters, and memoirs, here is the Civil War as seen not only from battlefields and camps but also from slave quarters, kitchens, roadsides, and fields. Speaking in a quintessentially American language of biblical power and intensity, body servants, army cooks and launderers, runaways, teamsters, and gravediggers bring the war to life. From slaves' theories about the war's causes to their frank assessments of such figures as Lincoln, Davis, Lee, and Grant; from their searing memories of the carnage of battle to their often startling attitudes toward masters and liberators alike; and from their initial jubilation at the Yankee invasion of the slave South to the crushing disappointment of freedom's promise unfulfilled, The Slaves' War is an engrossing vision of America's Second Revolution. ***Please contact Member Services for additional documents***

The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man
Originally published anonymously in 1912, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man revealed as never before the color line dividing America, and the price it exacted on those souls who could traverse the two worlds. The book presents the fictional account of 'an ex-colored man' - an African-American who could pass for white - as he attempts to choose which side of the line will better suit his life, and his psyche. Later republished, properly, as the work of James Weldon Johnson, The Autobiography has gone on to become a classic novel of the early twentieth century, and Dreamscape is proud to present this new recording to coincide with the 100th anniversary of this great book.
James Weldon Johnson (Author), Richard Allen (Narrator)
