A Note from Tavis Smiley

 

An excerpt from an email to sent to me via Tavis Talks...

This week marks a momentous occasion in Black History which you helped to create. As you may have heard, the Covenant with Black America will debut at #6 on the New York Times Bestseller list (March 26, 2006, paperback-nonfiction). Never before has a Black-authored, Black-published, and predominately Black-purchased NON FICTION book garnered this achievement.

This week, a new shipment of books was delivered to stores nationwide. We want to
make this occasion a phenomenon by moving to #1. If you haven't already purchased your copy of The Covenant, click on the picture above to order your copy.

...To read more about The Covenant and to find out when The Covenant tour will stop in your city, visit http://www.covenantwithblackamerica.com.

All best,

Tavis Smiley

Why do you think this book is important to not only Black America, but to all America?

Spring Reads Nominations Open

I'm at The Master's Artist Today praying about my Mind and Soul.

Over at Gospel Fiction I'm seeking books to nominate for great Spring and Summer reads. If you have a book that you think deserves to be on this list, hit me up here or at either Gospel Fiction or Christian Fiction Blog.

 

I added Kate Mosse's Labyrinth to the list. She also has a fantaberific site. They you can learn more about over at Gospel Fiction. Note: this book is not a CBA title or what you would call Christian Fiction. Be advised.

 

Check out my book review for Jacquelin Thomas' Defining Moments and Kendra Norman-Bellamy's More than Grace in Romantic Times Magazine's April edition, which are on major magazine stands and your local public library.

 

And I have two more slots open for Dee's Storyteller's Workshop. Contact me for details.

April 06: Nothing but the Right Thing

"Adams' Nothing But the Right Thing is surely that...the right thing for women struggling with long-suffering, maternity, family responsibility and faith - to not only read, but to study and to comfort their souls.  Illuminating with great integrity. Blessed!"
