It was the summer of 1863 at the height of the U.S. Civil War. Federal troops fanned across Tennessee; the final state to secede from the Union; and emancipated its slaves. By July they reached Giles County and the slaves belonging to the extended family of the Abernathys; Easons; Rivers; and Tarpleys. While some chose to remain on those plantations; at least 59 of their slave men enlisted to the Union Army. They were divided among 6 colored regiments; provided essential services; participated in 12 battles and skirmishes; and were mistreated by Confederates for 9 months as prisoners of war. Many of their stories are told in their own words. It is from their military service records and pension files that their stories of slavery; family; bravery; suffering; love; and loss are revealed. This book honors their lives and is dedicated to their descendants. This book is intended to be a tool to help African-Americans break through the genealogical brick wall of slavery.

The Biblical references stated were 100% Bible-based and accurate in translation. The well-chosen verses unravel the economic mysteries of the times we are living in.Although the book was copyrighted over ten years ago; it is like reading front page news today. The information in this book is unlike anything taught in secular colleges.One of the key themes is how we can Overcome the Great End Time Financial Shaking. Norm supports everything he states with excellent research and an abundance of references building a solid foundation for this and other key points. Others include "The Mysteries of Commercial Babylon"; "Global Transition to Mystery Babylon"; and "Coming Out of Babylon".In this book you will find one of the best explanations of "Fractional Reserve Banking" and how it came into existence. Fractional Reserve Banking describes how Federal Charter banks have been debauching our economy with fiat paper money created in the printing presses 'out of thin air' through simple ledger book entries. This process has all been approved by the Federal Reserve System - a cartel of privately banks operating through our government of grateful politicians since the early 1900's.The book is full of eye-openers as well as hope and develops a Biblical plan to prosper in these times of financial shaking. And I found that to be very encouraging!A must read if you want to know what is coming and how you can prepare.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy John MGood book worth the read!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great Book! The Big cognition I had was in ...By R. JonesGreat Book! The Big cognition I had was in the Tithe! Certainly Tithe 10% to the Preachers and/or Churches that you feel are doing God's work. But since God says; "Never borrow money at usury interest' "Owe no man anything"; when you borrow at usury interest; you are in effect Tithing to satan himself! Think about that!
