What if the story you have inherited about the African identity, faith, people, mandate, and history is incomplete? What if the concept of “the return” for the scattered people of Africa across the globe is more spiritual than it is physical?
What if reparation is a distraction from the real issue Africans need to address, and we need to focus on the way forward?
Is there a dimension to the historical trans-Atlantic slave trade, colonialism, and the current neocolonialism than what meets the eye?
When Africa Cries Out is a compelling blend of personal testimony and spiritual reflection that explores questions many have felt, but few have articulated. Drawing from a deeply personal journey of Awakening, the author examines the identity of the true Children of Israel, the meaning of exile, who fits the curse of the law in Deuteronomy 28, and the enduring relevance of Biblical covenant in today’s world.
Written in a clear, accessible style, this book avoids complex theological language while engaging profound themes of identity, restoration, and purpose.
It invites readers across Africa and the Diaspora to reflect on their spiritual
inheritance and consider whether long – held assumptions
deserve closer examination. This is not simply a book to be read, but one
to be wrestled with.
And as brother Zvikomborero Kuwana, the author of Awakening The Tribes of Africa and the writer of the Foreword for this book, puts it:
“What you will find in the book you are reading is deeply challenging and will confront layers of generational religious indoctrination. It is like a ‘spear’ that will pierce into many things that we have held as truth but are not.
You will feel confused as the cognitive dissonance kicks in. The question will arise, ‘How can it be that what my grandparents, my parents, my pastor, my church…… taught me was flawed and based on lies?’
The sad reality is that deception has been working for a long time, and many before us have not realized it because of how the truth of biblical identity, history, and geography has been whitewashed by those who have sought to erase the truth and keep us under their subjugation.
This whitewashed version of the Biblical narrative came wrapped up in defiled theological doctrines that are contrary to the Good News of the original Way, and was marketed by missionaries as part of the three C’s strategy used by Western empires to take control of indigenous lands and people. The three C’s are Civilization, Christianity, and Commerce.”
