Lord knows, Reverend Al has had his personal and very public ups and downs, but he's come out bigger and better than ever—though the host of MSNBC's PoliticsNation is as fiery and outspoken as ever about the events and issues that matter most, he's learned that the only way we can get right as a nation is by getting right from within. In his instant New York Times bestselling book, Rev. Al will take you behind the scenes of some unexpected places—from officiating Michael Jackson's funeral, hanging out with Jay-Z and President Barack Obama at the White House, to taking charge of the Trayvon Martin case. And he will discuss how he came to his unexpected conclusions in such areas as immigration, gay rights, religion, and family. But the heart of the book is an intimate discussion of his own personal evolution from street activist, pulpit provocateur, and civil rights leader to the man he is today—one hundred pounds slimmer, and according to The New York Observer “the most thoughtful voice on cable.” The Rev. Al you met ten years ago isn’t the same man you’ll meet today. And he has a simple promise: We can transform this nation and we can all lead better lives if we're willing to transform our hearts and transform our minds.

This divinely inspired body of work has been fifteen years in the making...covering three continents and six countries. The revelations contained in The Stone Rejected are God-breathed and purposely prepared for this hour in time. It is the fulfillment of God's word spoken in the book of Habakkuk, which commands, "Write the vision and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that read it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it shall speak and not lie." Today mankind is thirsty for truth and it is because truth is always logical and its foundation is based on pure fact. When applied, it conforms not only to fact but reason. A lie must change or metamorphose to hold its power over one's mind. This is what has happened to the original word of God. It has been changed so many times that it has almost become unrecognizable. Therefore, the sword of truth has been commanded to rise and cut into pieces the body of deception, which stands behind the mask of religion.

Ironically, The Rejected Stone reflects the circumstances that have surrounded my being. I had little idea of how to start. I enquired of the Lord for direction on how this task should be achieved. He told me to carry on, and that He would send a helping hand to assist until completion. I prayed, believed and obeyed the Lord's instructions. Shortly after that, His words came to pass. I believed it was not what happened to me that matters, but how I responded to it. I was ready to transform my bad moments to good, problems, trials and tribulations into opportunities. Somehow, life could be funny, especially when there were challenges whose ultimate impact could not be seen. Like David of old, who lifted up his eyes to the hills when he was challenged, so I lifted my eyes when life and the pangs of death were all around me. Apart from family troubles and neglect, especially from my mother and those around her, my marriage also brought near-to-death predicaments. It was so tormenting, that life seemed unbearable and meaningless. I cannot remember experiencing happiness in the fourteen years I spent in marriage. I enduredthe marriage, instead of enjoying it, although it produced three children - in this, I felt that God consoled me. During this time, I zealously sought help, but none materialized. As if to take me from the frying pan to the fire. Some so-called ministers of God turned my mourning into pulpit-preaching, scheming to covert my estate into their personal property, rendering me helpless with sugar- coated and corrugated bible messages. They brought sorrow and sickness, instead of healing, to me. Irrespective of these torments, my chains fell off! God, in His infinite mercy, delivered me from all diabolical twists. God gave me a discerning spirit, in no small measure, so that I could re-organize, and lead my life in the right way. I am now totally refurbished for God's use; a vessel of honour and glory. This reformation in me led to the establishment of the Voice of the Voiceless Ministry, the real purpose of my being. Today, I can sing a new song, hence this book - ''The Rejected Stone''. This book is a source of encouragement for those who think their world has come to an end, in terms of marriage, career or personal ambition. I have deliberately detached myself from the book, and I now tell the story as it occurred.

Believers know that when we die we enter heaven and will spend eternity there with God and the saints who have gone before us. But what actually happens in heaven? What are we going to be doing there? Won't it get boring at some point? According to Scripture, a large part of our experience of heaven will be a continual revealing of God's glory. Not just his glory in the moment, but during all of time. The mysteries of providence, the hidden movements of God throughout history, and the forgotten and unnoted works of even the most obscure of God's people will be unveiled so that we can see how wise, loving, gracious, and powerful our God is. And though we will experience perfection in heaven, we will never be omniscient, which means we will always be learning more about God's glory, inspiring us to return joyful praise and thanksgiving. If your vision of heaven has been limited to clouds and harps and angels, it's time to expand that view with the truth found in this biblically based look at the afterlife.

This is an emotional, inspirational life story by me, Rose Addo, which started from a little village in the Adangbe District of Ghana, in West Africa, which is barely known to Ghanaians. There are horrible things no one should ever experience in life in this condition. I was born in that village. The depressions I have, the guinea worm disease I had, the rejections, the verbal and emotional and physical abuses, bullying since my childhood, and much more, the rape-these are things I'm still dealing with because it feels fresh in my heart, with the scars in my soul, though I'm sixty-three years old, and it's a miracle, a divine intervention, that I am counted among the living. Meanwhile, my mom went through this too, just a little bit compared to my situation, but she died in her early forties. And my favorite uncle, Odoi, who opened my eyes to the American dream, also died in his late teens, and it came to a point where I begged God to make me lose my memory, in order for me not to remember or feel pains, and then I asked him to take my life, because he gave it to me, since my pains are unbearable, but he declined my requests, and rather he keeps protecting me, and he gave me the spirit of endurance, and he made me fearless. And also he brought angels, in human form, to encourage me and to provide for me. And by the most high God, I, Rose, the rejected stone, am among the luckiest survivors, whose untold story will be shared with the world, to give them hope and to wait patiently on the Lord, that if he did it for me, then he will surely do it for them also, at his own time.
