More than ninety years after his death, two of Booker T.
Washington's great-granddaughters have come together to pay
special tribute to the life that he led, and to celebrate
the 150th anniversary of his birth. This book is a compilation
of some of their great-grandfather's most inspiring quotations,
corresponding to and confirming scriptures from his and their
favorite book, the Holy Bible, along with their own personal
testimonies and writings. It is their tribute to this extraordinary
man.
 It
could only have been God guiding Booker T. Washington and
governing his life. Even after experiencing the harsh realities
of slavery, and later watching as the hope embodied in the
Reconstruction period was dismantled, he still possessed the
strength of character to utter the words, "I will let
no man drag me down so low as to make me hate him." He
refused even to hate his former slave master, choosing instead
to spend his time and energy living by the principles of the
Word of God, lifting people up and appealing to what was best
in them. He spent his life lighting candles in the lives of
others, rather than wasting his life cursing the darkness.
Page after page delivers wisdom in the form of quotations
and scriptures addressing every facet and all walks of life,
including character building, race relations, rising above
circumstances, the value of education, business ownership,
and faith. Be blessed, inspired, and informed as you read
on topics addressing the whole person, be it spirit, soul,
or body.
It is the strong belief of the authors that the publication
of this book was a divine call on their lives for such a time
as this, and that each reader will discover the timeliness
of the wisdom contained in this volume. By revisiting and
highlighting the achievements and the legacy of their great-grandfather,
it is their prayer that they are contributing in a positive
way toward making a difference in today's challenging times.
We believe that this work will make for deeply edifying and
gratifying devotional reading for the individual, family,
or small group.

 Character
Building - Booker T. Washington
William Craft
Dr. Booker T. Washington made a practice of having Sunday
evening talks with the faculty and students of Tuskedgee Institute.
These were informal messages he would deliver in a relaxed,
straightforward manner, just as a father would share wisdom
and insight with his family. William Craft has taken
many of these Sunday evening “talks” and compiled
them into a book called- Character Building.
While these “talks” were given 100 years ago and
more, the core messages are as timely for young and old, of
all races, today, as they ever were.
These messages are inspiring, challenging and truly “character
building.”
