About the Book
NOW AVAILABLE...ORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!! REVISED SEVENTH EDITION - SPECIAL RELEASE "God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant..." - Exodus 2:24 From the 17th-19th centuries, America had a peculiar, cruel, unprecedented, system of unpaid labor known as Chattel Slavery. Chattel Slavery was race-based: the diverse captive laborers were primarily of West African descent; and, the slave owners, for the most part, were elite White Men. In cold-blooded legal terms, the Chattel Slave was classified as animal property, subject to being bought, sold, rented-out, and disposed of, at-will. The slave owner exercised tyrannical authority over the Chattel Slave's life, liberty, labor, and offspring. So, America's captives were constantly subjected to physical, and mental, trauma, and sexual abuse, as a normal way of life. In those dark, and dreadful, days of The Tribulation, most captives identified with the story of the Hebrew Captivity told in The Holy Bible's Book of Exodus. They fervently believed that the Great God of the Hebrews, personified by Mighty King Jesus, would someday intervene on their behalf. Was their folk identification with the Israelites simply based on the parallel symbolism of the Exodus Story? Or, did America's inspired captives have a deeper reason? Here are a few things that readers of GO DOWN, MOSES! A HEBREW MYSTERY, by Melek Heru, have said about this book: "Good Job...I'm inspired!" - Dr. Irving Smith, Retired Pastor and Professor, Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio "This is an important piece of writing." - Chili Most, Peace Activist/Musician/Talk Radio Host - The Chili Most Show, WVFG 107.5FM, Demopolis, Alabama "Thought-Provoking." - Lt.
