This book gives biblical and historical information about the Biblical Hebrew Israelites (children of Israel/12 Tribes) and how the Most High made a covenant with them and they disobeyed him, thus causing the fall of them. I believe that the suffering and challenges that the so-called Negroes of American and the 12 Tribes did not happen accidentally. Until the so called Negroes of American and the 12 Tribes around the world come back to their true Nationality and knowledge of the God of Israel, then can we become that mighty and powerful nation that we was in biblical times. I believe that this book will fill in the missing facts about the true identity and heritage of the so called Negroes of America and the 12 Tribes throughout the world. The real truth has been hidden, distorted and suppressed by the enemies of the Most High chosen people.
SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2018 'A dazzling obsessive entry in a burgeoning genre. Unusual and absorbing... the novel as a whole exudes a strange consoling power.' – The New Yorker 'Sight delves into a lot in under 200 pages: mothers and daughters, birth and death, loss and grief, finding one's balance, the ardor and arduousness of scientific discovery. Readers willing to give themselves over to Greengrass' penetrating vision will surely expand theirs.' – NPR 'With visceral, elegantly wrought truths of life and loss, this is an exciting companion to Sheila Heti's recent Motherhood (2018).' – Booklist In Jessie Greengrass' dazzlingly brilliant debut novel, our unnamed narrator recounts her progress to motherhood, while remembering the death of her own mother ten years before, and the childhood summers she spent with her psychoanalyst grandmother. Woven among these personal recollections are significant events in medical history: Wilhelm Rontgen’s discovery of the X-ray; Sigmund Freud’s development of psychoanalysis and the work that he did with his daughter, Anna; and the origins of modern surgery and the anatomy of pregnant bodies. Sight is a novel about being a parent and a child: what it is like to bring a person in to the world, and what it is to let one go. Exquisitely written and fiercely intelligent, it is an incisive exploration of how we see others, and how we might know ourselves.

Through the imaginative retelling of 35 Bible stories, Not by Sight gives us glimpses of what it means to walk by faith and counsel for how to trust God's promises more than our perceptions and to find rest in the faithfulness of God.
