SAINT MARYS, Ga. - Since President Barack Obama's historic rise to power, scholars, business, civic and church leaders and everyday American citizens have engaged in ongoing dialogue on how his presidency will ultimately impact race relations and future discussions about race. This dialogue has brought a number of intriguing insights and questions to the surface, including, 'How will the presidency impact the country's views on slavery?' In his new book, "From Slavery to the Presidency: What the MAN Intended for Evil, GOD Has Meant for Good," Dr. Terry L. Bowser answers this question by delivering a new perspective on the horrors of slavery, shaped by the recent election and Christian theology. In just 151 pages, Dr. Bowser thoroughly examines the trials of Africans in America and challenges readers to look beyond the cruelty and tragedy in order to see God's redemptive plan for His people.

"For many years, African-Americans have been burdened by the history of slavery, and in many cases have still been kept captive mentally because of their history of such inhumane treatment," said Dr. Terry L. Bowser, internationally renowned minister and motivational speaker. "However, President Barack Obama's historic election provides us with a unique opportunity to take a closer, deeper look at the history of African-Americans, God's master plan for us and how the horrors of slavery have laid the foundation for our ultimate success in this country."

In his efforts to examine slavery's role in the success and triumph of the African race, Dr. Bowser delivers an educational, informative and inspirational body of work with the potential to change the way future generations view one of the most significant stains on world history. "From Slavery to the Presidency" is a well-researched, in-depth exploration of the historical events surrounding slavery and the continued journey of Africans in America, through the lens of Christian theology. Using a biblical framework, Dr. Bowser analyzes the impact of centuries of pain, the resulting racial divide, and perceptions held by both white and black Americans that have hindered the nation's healing process.

In the book, Dr. Bowser expertly illustrates how God can use tragic events to bless His people, and issues an earnest challenge to readers to continue the dialog on race relations, but with new fervor and renewed, and more productive purpose. He successfully begins a much-needed shift in thought and ushers in a fresh perspective on a topic that has crippled Americans for far too long, imploring black Americans to forgive and white Americans to advocate a true ideal of liberty and justice for all.

"By embracing the concepts in this book, readers are stepping into a new era of freedom," said Dr. Bowser. "God never gives up on His people. He is committed to setting the captives free, and this book illustrates how He has been working, from the time the first slave came to this country, to the time when Barack Obama was elected to the presidency, and until this present moment. There's tremendous, life-changing freedom in that revelation if you're willing to accept it for yourself."
