You do not embrace those who will take you straight to hell, no matter how much blood you share with them... And, most importantly, it is not healthy to keep company of people who proudly wear the scars of the generations of their physical and mental r**e. - Mwalimu Baruti

My hope emerges from those places of struggle where I witnessed individuals positively transforming their lives and the world around them. Educating is always a vocation, rooted in hopefulness. As teachers, we believe that learning is possible, that nothing can keep an open mind from seeking after knowledge and finding a way to know. - bell hooks, Ph.D.

Saint Rest Publications is thrilled to announce the launch of Dr. Lathardus Goggins II's newest book, “Facing the Rising Sun: Activity Book Lessons Towards an Authentic Self”! This activity book is the replacement for the card deck. With additional activities like coloring, word searches, and crossword puzzles, Facing the Rising Sun: Activity Book is a culturally grounded, youth-centered resource designed to nurture self-awareness, cultural identity, and purpose through reflection and creativity.

Rooted in African-centered philosophy and supported by a Social Emotional Learning (SEL) framework, this activity book offers guided prompts, symbolic explorations, and affirmations that invite young people to look inward, reach backward, and move forward toward a fuller understanding of who they are and why they matter.

“Facing the Rising Sun” is the perfect addition to the “Bringing the Light into a New Day” collection. It dives deep into the themes of passage, process, and model, and it includes a workbook that’s designed to help parents and practitioners create a family-based community rooted in African-centered rites of passage.

To celebrate the new release, Saint Rest Publications is teaming up with Ingram Books for a limited-time special offer! The first 100 books bought directly from Ingram Books can be purchased at the special introductory price of $19.95 (that’s a $5.00 savings!)… just use the QR code or https://www.afrocentric.info/Facing_the_Rising_Sun/

Plus, there’s a special bundle deal for the “Bringing the Light into a New Day” collection (https://www.afrocentric.info/SaintRest/BringingBundle.html). The bundle includes an author-signed copy of each book for just $54.95, and it ships free!
