Book Description
"Come join me as I take you back to Charleston, South Carolina, to my father's forge in the early 1800's. Sit with me on the woodpile as he tells a tale of faith, hope, or love." In this extraordinary collection, Charlotte Jefferies and her father Price, a former slave, introduce us to twelve best loved Bible tales, from Genesis to Daniel, and reveal their significance in the lives of African Americans--and indeed of all oppressed peoples. When Charlotte wants to understand the cruel injustices of her time, she turns to her father. Does the powerful slaveholder, Mr. Sam Riley, who seems to own all that surrounds them, also own the sun and moon? she wonders. Price's answer is to tell the story of Creation. How can God allow an evil like slavery to exist? she asks. Price responds by telling the story of the Hebrews' Exodus -- and shows Charlotte that someday their people, too, will be free. With exquisite clarity, Patricia and Fredrick McKissack and James Ransome -- a Newbery Honor winner and all Coretta Scott King Award winners -- brilliantly illuminate the parallels between the stories of the Jews and African-American history. Let My People Go is a triumphant celebration of both the human spirit and the enduring power of story as a source of strength. Our hope is that this book will be like a lighthouse that can guide young readers through good times and bad....The ideas that these ancient stories hold are not for one people, at one time, in one place. They are for all of us, for all times, everywhere. --from the Authors' Note to Let My People Go

Volume II HaDavar, D’var ????, or “The Word of Yah,” is a new translation of the scriptures. The source text for the Tanak, or “Old Testament,” is the Masoretic Hebrew. The source text for the Brit Khadashah is the Aramaic Peshitta texts of the New Testament. This four-volume set contains the Hebrew version of the Tanak from the Masoretic text, and a new English translation of those texts, with transliterations for Hebrew terms in an English-friendly tone. The author’s purpose is to give a more accurate, Hebrew/Jewish rendering of the texts, without giving up the beauty of Scripture for the English reader. Volume 4, The Brit Khadashah, is coming soon.
