As a concerned African American, my primary goal is to correct uninformed impressions and misperceptions of our community that have persisted from emancipation to this day. It is time to correct misperceptions and debunk cultural myths that have held back many in the black community, while setting the record straight for informed opinions about us in moving forward responsibly with the rest of the world. Let us explore how anyone can make a difference-by getting the facts straight and to speak up.

Has God given you a dream? Has He not yet fulfilled it? Do you wonder what to do in the meantime? If you are one of thousands of Christians who can answer yes to those questions, Beyond the Dream was written for you. Discovering the dream that God has for you is an amazing experience, but when He doesn't bring that dream to fruition in the way you want it to--or as quickly as you want it to--despair, disillusionment, or desperation can set in. But God's Word gives the encouragement you need to make it through this season in your life.

Beyond the Dream is a down-to-earth, Old Testament character study of Joseph--a man who had big dreams but had to endure hardships, and experienced some twists and turns in the road before God brought those dreams to fruition. Ed Johnson III draws out four simple lessons from the life of Joseph to help you see what God desires of you in the time of transition from dream to reality.

When Serenity is found in the middle of war torn Afghanistan, then there is certainly hope for the rest of us. Author, E. D. Johnson discovered the key to serenity amidst people living in the bombed out streets of Afghanistan.

Utilizing each line of the Serenity Prayer, Johnson inspires readers to embrace the practice of daily meditation and thereby achieve the Acceptance, Courage and Wisdom that lead to serene living.
