CHICAGO, Feb. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In his new book, "The Finger of God, From the Lineage of David to the Presidency of the United States of America" (published by Archway Publishing), Jesse Jackson Jr. steers America back to its foundation — the U.S. Constitution and the original intent of its architects — the founding fathers.
With expertise in the Constitution's construct, Jackson's education in theology and law prepared him for a revelation while in prison, followed by nine years of intense research that led to a new interpretation of how America was intended to be governed.
Jackson shared his revelation with Drs. James A. Forbes Jr. and Cornel West who wrote the book's forward and afterword — to convey the spirit and intent of the Constitution and to reveal America's strength through the power of forgiveness.
He has appeared on "Keepin' It Real" and MSNBC's "Politics Nation" with Rev. Al Sharpton, Sirius XM's "The Laura Coates Show" and The "Tavis Smiley" Podcast on KBLA-AM, Los Angeles.
Partnering with the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference, February 19-26, 2022, Jackson will formally release "The Finger of God" as he presents at the pre-conference session, "Truth Is Like Fire — A Bridge to New Beginnings." Conference officials will set the stage for "understanding how God has been with us through the nadirs of our journey in this nation."
"'The Finger of God' ignites a new trajectory to address America's spiritual and material fall or rise from its legacy and current war within. In an authentic and uncompromised quest for transformation and salvation, personal and national, Jesse Jackson, Jr. vigorously interrogates the 'experiment of democracy' through the theological and symbolic meanings embedded in the U.S. Constitution and the foundational documents of this nation. In so doing, he excavates the theological lens of the founding fathers, implicating the most perilous and prescient issues of today: voter protection for all Americans, including the formerly incarcerated; processes of constitutional amendment; immigrant and human rights in the context of demographic shifts and ultimately, America's reckoning with its racialized past." — Dr. Iva Carruthers, General Secretary, Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference
