George D. Johnson Bücher

"Throughout history philosophers have sought to understand the nature of wisdom and how to achieve it, but Reverend George Johnson's Wisdom II explains that true wisdom comes from above and is a necessity for daily living.For centuries, many people grew up in homes defined by tradition and wisdom while others grew up in homes defined by whim and lack of knowledge.Wisdom II informs us that a wise person seeks understanding and knowledge, and anyone can receive it if he or she seeks it.Wisdom gives voice to the voiceless, help to the helpless, and hope to the hopeless. With this said, Johnson's own wisdom has directed him to construct Wisdom II using an ""unconventional pattern,"" where readers do not necessarily have to read prior chapters in order to understand future chapters.Wisdom's inspiring words captivate readers as each chapter tells a story, tells us what to do, and tells us what not to do. Wisdom II touches on every aspect of life from individuals getting rid of baggage that so easily weighs us down to learning how to enjoy life by ""smelling the roses."" To this end, Wisdom II is an inspirational manuscript full of voices of wisdom and ethics for everyday living."

Reverend George D. Johnson's Profiles in Hue is one of the most exhaustive works on the history of black America. But what makes Johnson's work stand apart from other works is that he does not limit himself to the history of blacks, but includes a discussion on other racial groups, such as the Japanese internment during WWII and Native Americans that have suffered mistreatment. Johnson says, "I never really liked the term "Black History because of its narrowness. Longevity has taught me to believe there is only one Universal race and that's the human race, comprised of many shades of colors, coming from a single source of LIGHT. And upon that belief I could not limit my research to just the history of blacks who have contributed to making the multi-color quilt that covers this great country of ours known as the United States of America [in which] the title of this book: Profiles in Hue" emerged. Johnson's exhaustive seminal work provides us with a more exhaustive piece on politics and religion, arts and sciences, labor and industry, law, education, sports and entertainment, among other fields. Another purpose of Johnson's treatise is to acquaint young minds with the "hardships, defeats, and victories of those who came before them." By doing so, these young minds can pick up the intellectual torch and keep hope alive. Johnson says, "It's essential that we must always try to keep alive the memories" of those who came before us.

George D. Johnson's What Will A Man Give In Exchange For His Soul? is an extensive study of men and women who gave their lives to Christ for the sake of others. Men have exchanged their souls for much power, wealth, and success. When the envious Pharisees asked Christ which was the greatest commandment in the law, in essence, he told them that loving God and their fellow man are the only two laws for which men can exchange their souls. Anything apart from this means they will fall short of God's expectations. And Johnson's sophisticated treatise illustrates this fact.
