The Black Messiah

 

In Revealing the True Face of Christ, author Hank Gray invites us on a powerful and deeply spiritual journey—one that challenges centuries of misrepresentation and restores the image of Christ to its rightful place. This isn’t the version revised by empires and echoed through stained-glass windows in distant cathedrals. This is the Black Messiah, as he was known by those who walked beside him—people of color, rooted in African and Middle Eastern soil, who saw in him a liberator, teacher, and reflection of themselves.

Gray’s work is grounded in truth and illuminated by historical, biblical, and cultural insights. With clarity and boldness, he uncovers how the original followers of Christ, melanated people who shaped the early faith, were erased from sacred narratives over time. The result has been a distorted image of the Messiah, used to uphold systems of dominance rather than liberation. This book sets out to correct that distortion and call readers back to a Christ who still dwells in the margins, still walks with the oppressed.

What makes this journey especially compelling is Gray’s use of visual storytelling. This isn’t just a collection of facts—it’s an experience. With quotes and culturally accurate descriptions that bring the true face of Christ to life, allowing readers to reconnect with a spiritual legacy that is both ancient and urgent. You’ll see the Messiah not through the lens of conquest, but through the eyes of his community—those who called him brother, friend, and Savior.

But Revealing the True Face of Christ is more than a historical correction—it’s a call to spiritual healing. It invites us to renew our faith by embracing our heritage, our identity, and our divine reflection. Gray reminds us that to reclaim the Black Messiah is to reclaim ourselves. This book is both a revelation and a restoration, planting seeds of pride, purpose, and peace in the hearts of those who read it.

And this is just the beginning. Revealing the True Face of Christ is part of the bold new Alkebulan Diaries book collection—a series dedicated to uncovering the hidden truths of Africa’s sacred past. These books aren’t just about ancient history—they’re about reclaiming the stories, the spirit, and the significance of a people whose contributions have been ignored or whitewashed for far too long. With a mix of powerful storytelling and grounded scholarship, the Alkebulan Diaries will change the way you see the world—and yourself.

Let’s start with Revealing the Real Face of Christ, the anchor of the series. In this revelatory book, Gray pulls back the curtain on centuries of religious distortion, reintroducing readers to a Christ who is Black, bold, and deeply connected to Africa. It’s not just about theology—it’s about truth, healing, and the power of representation. To see Christ in your image is to see the divine in yourself.

Next is Mankind, Made in Africa, which takes us even further back, to the very origins of humanity. With warmth and clarity, Gray walks readers through the scientific and spiritual significance of Africa as the cradle of civilization. This book isn’t just a celebration of first footsteps; it’s a reminder that greatness, innovation, and sacred tradition are deeply embedded in African soil and in the people who emerged from it.

Then there’s When Africa Ruled the World, a thrilling account of Africa’s glory days—when kingdoms flourished, wisdom reigned, and Black rulers shaped the world. From the Black Pharaohs of Egypt to the architectural genius of Imhotep, this book lifts the veil on an era of unmatched excellence. Gray tells these stories with pride and passion, making sure readers walk away knowing exactly how powerful and influential Africa truly was—and still is.

Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots, teaching your children about their heritage, or simply curious to learn what history books left out, the Alkebulan Diaries are a must-read.
