Ruth and the Green Book Illustrated by Floyd Cooper

Ruth was so excited to take a trip in her family’s new car! In the 1940s, few African Americans could afford to buy cars, so this would be an adventure. But she soon found out that black travelers weren’t treated very well in some towns. Many hotels and gas stations refused service to black people. Daddy was upset about something called Jim Crow laws…. Finally, a friendly attendant at an Esso station showed Ruth’s family The Green Book. It listed all of the places that would welcome black travelers. With this guidebook—and the kindness of strangers—Ruth could finally make a safe journey from Chicago to her grandma’s house in rural Alabama.

The Battle For The Spirits Of Mankind by V.W. Thomson

The Battle for the Spirits of Mankind uses the whole Bible to seek answers to such questions as: Who is the devil? Where did he come from? Of whom does the Godhead consist? Who is in charge of the Universe now? Who will say when time shall be no more? What will happen on Judgment Day? Who records names in the Book of Life after the persons have met certain commands?

For only those whose names are in the Book of Life will be able to go to Heaven, which is our whole purpose for living on this Earth.
