Ships of Sorrow: The Prophecy and the Middle Passage

Does the Bible name the ships that carried millions into slavery, centuries before they ever sailed?

Deuteronomy 28:68 says "Yahuah shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships... and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you." Ships of Sorrow is the volume in the CHOSEN AND SCATTERED series that reads this covenant curse in full, in context, and directly alongside the documented history of the transatlantic slave trade: twelve million people taken, four centuries of bondage, and the question most Bible teaching has avoided: what does Scripture actually say about a covenant people taken back into bondage by ships?

This is the most difficult, and most necessary, volume in the ten-book series. It does not use prophecy to soften the human cost of the Middle Passage. It reads the historical record honestly, names the scale of what was taken, and traces what survived the crossing: the names, the spirituals, the faith that rose out of the hold of the ship.

Inside Ships of Sorrow, you'll discover:

• 
  
• Deuteronomy 28:68 read in full, in its ancient context, and against the documented slave trade
• 
  
• The historical sequence of covenant curses from Canaan to Babylon to Rome, and how they culminate here
• 
  
• The true scale of the transatlantic trade: who was taken, from where, and how many
• 
  
• The African political context of the trade, and the honest complicity question it raises
• 
  
• What the Middle Passage crossing actually was, and what it did to a people's identity
• 
  
• How the spirituals sung in the fields carry a covenant cry that survives to this day
• 
  
• The hardest theological question of all: where was Yahuah in the hold of the ship
• 
  

Written with intellectual honesty and compassion in equal measure, Ships of Sorrow does not turn away from one of history's greatest crimes. It reads it inside the covenant framework the prophets gave, and finds, on the other side of the wound, a promise of restoration that was declared before the first ship ever sailed.

Book Seven of the ten-volume CHOSEN AND SCATTERED series, the hinge volume where ancient covenant prophecy meets the documented history of the Middle Passage.
