| 1. Man's Search for Meaning | 
|
By: Viktor E. Frankl Publisher: Beacon Press June 14, 2006
Today's society needs positive books, that value life not by it's usefulness but by it's meaning. This is one of those books. The testimony part is awesome, leaves little chance to argue that a life full of suffering shouldn't be lived. The logotherapy introduction part is very interesting and enlightening, although I had some bumps with the technical stuff, but that's nothing that google can't... more

| 2. Up From Slavery | 
|
By: Booker T. Washington Publisher: Signet Classics January 05, 2010
A fascinating read about the life and times of Booker T. Washington and his march from slavery to one of the foremost men of his time.
His views may seem quite antiquated in today's world, given what has happened and not happened in the last 100 years in race relations and it is easy to see how Black leaders of today might be critical of Washington's views and perspectives. more

| 5. The Hiding Place | 
|
By: Corrie Ten Boom, John Scherrill, Elizabeth Sherrill Publisher: Bantam Books October 01, 1984
Corrie's experiences and how God carried her through will remind Christians that no matter what we ever face, God will be with us and give us strength to endure. I have many times told people about Corrie and how her story gives comfort that we can trust God through every storm, no matter how horrendous. I highly recommend everyone read her story... more

| 7. My Bondage and My Freedom: (An African American Heritage Book) | 
|
By: Frederick Douglass Publisher: Wilder Publications November 24, 2008
Historians often call the Civil War the first modern war, a precursor to the great battlefield slaughterhouses of the twentieth century. Frederick Douglass shows that America was also first to invent the totalitarian police state. It's hard to believe Stalin didn't have MY BONDAGE AND MY FREEDOM prominently positioned on his bookshelf for frequent consultation because the Soviet system of oppression... more
