Greetings,

Did any of the Is come across any books recently that InI might find valuable or interesting? Other than the "must-read-all-the-time ones"

I have some interest in picking up something new or different and am looking for suggestions

Thanks and Jah Bless

Bergy

Greetings Iyah



""The First Rasta- Leonard Howell and the Rise of Rastafarianism" was well written and worth reading.

Nostradamus ~ The Complete Prophecies. I've just cracked the surface, but it's already proving dread.

ONE PERFECT LOVE IN InI IVINE MAJESTIES KING ALPHA QUEEN OMEGA

Yes I NineMile,

Having read alot (most?) of the important publications regarding Rastafari, if I had to choose only one published source for Rastafari Truth Iman would say that "JAHUG" volumes 1 thru 7 would be it.

As far as newer books, I recently read "Beyond The Throne" which was published in Ithiopia by Ithiopians to clarify for Ithiopians the greatness and importance of HIM's reign and undo the evil propoganda leveled against HIM during and after His removal from political office. It contains the best synopsis of HIM's biography I have seen. ("Haile Selassie The Conquering Lion" by Leonard Mosely is the best thorough biography I know, and then of course there is His auto-biographies).

Also, "Book of Memory: A Rastafari Testimony" by Prince Elijah Williams is an excellent new opportunity to see Rastafari through the eyes of a Jamaican elder who has been trodding InI path from youth, during the difficult formative years. The I saw many hardships and downpression and still shows non-partial Love for Imanity.

I hope these works are helpful for the I.

JAH BLESS

If you wanted to read some books that are fiction but still very interesting I would check out Octavis Butler. No matter which book, she is a Black female sci-fi writter who writes some of the most relevant fiction I have ever come across. Try the Parable series, off the charts family.
