Book excerpt: Only Ernest Withers, a key figure in the civil rights movement, could have delivered such iconic photographs—and the kind of information the FBI wanted . . . Renowned photographer Ernest Withers captured some of the most stunning moments of the civil rights era—from the age-defining snapshot of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., riding one of the first integrated buses in Montegomery, to the haunting photo of Emmett Till’s great-uncle pointing an accusing finger at his nephew’s killers. He was trusted and beloved by King’s inner circle, and had a front row seat to history . . . but few people know that Withers was also an informant for the FBI. Memphis journalist Marc Perrusquia broke the story of Withers’s secret life after a long investigation culminating in a landmark lawsuit against the government to release hundreds of once-classified FBI documents. Those files confirmed that, from 1958 to 1976, Withers helped the Bureau monitor pillars of the movement including Dr. Martin Luther King and others, as well as dozens of civil rights foot soldiers. Now, on the fiftieth anniversary of King’s assasination, A Spy in Canaan explores the life, complex motivations, and legacy of this fascinating figure Ernest Withers, as well as the dark shadow that era’s culture of surveillance has cast on our own time. Includes an 8-page, black-and-white photo insert.

Book Synopsis Spies of Promise by : Philip Allan Turner
Download or read book Spies of Promise written by Philip Allan Turner. This book was released on 2015-01-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spies of Promise is a Christian spy thriller about the 12 Hebrew spies sent to reconnoiter the promised land of Canaan after Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt. The story is told by a CIA officer who learned the story from a source he debriefed in the Middle East. The source tells the story from the point of view of Joshua who, at 100 years old, relays the tale to his grandson who does not know the details outside of what was told in the Bible in the book of Numbers chapters 13-14. The story in the Bible is only is about 2 pages long. This novel chronicalizes the 40 day intelligence operation where the 12 spies encounter other spies, assassins, prostitutes, sorcerers, demons and angels. Both Satan and Moses are important secondary characters in this story. There are powerful life lessons at the end of this book which help people navigate through their own personal wilderness. This exciting novel provides a fictionalized account of Joshua's mission but contains spycraft and situations which could have come from news headlines in 2015. There are some powerful metaphors in the story about faith. The themes of love and redemption are deeply woven throughout this thriller. According to the Bible, the Hebrews were ultimately disobedient, not believing the word of God and failed to reach the Promise Land. The Bible tells of their punishment after the mission in Canaan where they are forced to wander in the wilderness of the Sinai for 40 years (one year for each day that the 12 spies were on their mission). The narrative in the Bible does not discuss what happened during those 40 days; this is that story. At the end of Joshua's tale, the story returns to the present where the narrator provides ten spiritual points to take away, mainly not to have a wilderness state of mind like the Hebrews. Although the Hebrews where freed, they still needed to free themselves from the psychological bondage of so many years of slavery. Many people are in their own personal wilderness of the past by reliving past hurt and traumas. This thrilling work of historical fiction was written from a God-consciousness point of view. Perhaps this fictionalized account of Joshua's spy mission can lead some people to gain more perspective about their lives and increase the faith in their hearts.
