Description:
What is slavery? It seems a simple enough question. Despite the long history of the institution and its widespread use around the globe, many people still largely associate slavery, outside of the biblical references in the Old Testament, to the enslavement of Africans in America, particularly the United States. Slavery proved to be essential to the creation of the young nation™s agricultural and industrial economies and profoundly shaped its political and cultural landscapes, even until today.What Is Slavery? focuses on the experience of enslaved black people in the United States from its early colonial period to the dawn of that destructive war that was as much about slavery as anything else. The book begins with a survey of slavery across time and place, from the ancient world to the beginning of the Atlantic slave trade and then describes the commerce in black laborers that ushered in market globalization and brought more than 12 million Africans to the Americas, before finally examining slavery in law and practice. For those who are looking for a concise and comprehensive treatment of such topics as slave labor, culture, resistance, family and gender relations, the domestic slave trade, the regionalization of the institution in the expanding southern and southwestern frontiers, and escalating abolitionist and proslavery advocacies, this book will be essential reading.

MUST READ - Biblical Perspective of Sex and Relationships, Great Book For Late Teens
Format: Hardcover
This book gives a right on Biblical perspective of dating, relationships, sex and more. Every Christian parent should buy this for their older teenage kids. I bought this book for my 18 year old daughter. She took it to school and found out that several of her friends had heard about the author and were also reading it. Her boyfriend is reading it now too. The Q&A portion at the end of the book is so good.

Incredible tool for engaged couples!!!
Format: Hardcover
When I ordered this I had no idea whether it would be good or not but I was just trying to find a nice devotional or something for my fiancé and I to study together. We are maybe halfway through the book now and it has been incredible. I read the first few pages as we were driving together on a road trip and I almost started crying from the special way it presented the beauty of marriage. Every chapter opens up deep conversations between us; the discussion questions get exactly to the heart of the toughest topics to broach. This book leaves no stone unturned, continually challenging you to share your hearts, your thoughts, your hopes, and your expectations with each other, while keeping God as the center focus. The author comes alongside as you let down walls between each other, acknowledging just how difficult, but also freeing, it can be to let another person completely into every aspect of your life. This book has been and will continue to be an invaluable tool for us!
