Summary

In Entering the Promised Land, first-time author Willie J. Alexander reveals how his spiritual upbringing, professional sports career and business experiences all led him to ask new questions and draw new conclusions about several biblical and historical events. Drawn from his own experiences as an African-American businessman facing the limits of working with US corporations and businesses, Alexander’s Entering the Promised Land focuses on institutionalized economic hindrances that keep so many African-Americans in a seemingly endless underdog role. Alexander offers a detailed new approach to biblical history and reveals parallels between two epic struggles for survival and self-improvement — the children of Israel’s escape from bondage in ancient Egypt during the days of Moses; and, the African-American Civil Rights Movement spearheaded by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the 1950s and 1960s. Alexander also gives the reader a personal, poignant and emotional look at his upbringing in segregated Alabama during the 1950s and 1960s. In Entering the Promised Land, Willie makes an emphatic case urging African-Americans to rebuild the Civil Rights Movement by using the economic blueprint vividly articulated by Dr. King in the last speech of his life. Entering the Promised Land results from years of research and revisions carried out through Willie’s Defined Word Approach,™ which involves researching the definitions of certain biblical words and the origins of certain phrases. In summary, Willie strives to bring a simple and straightforward message to as many readers as possible. Filled with powerful and insightful observations, Entering the Promised Land ranks as an impressive work by a first-time author whose passion for change sent him on a five-year spiritual journey to complete this brilliant literary work. Entering the Promised Land offers an eye-opening perspective on how to turn anger and frustration into a catalyst for change and personal growth.
