Author Description

Africa’s Israel: The Untold Story of God’s Chosen People is a groundbreaking work of history, culture, and truth-telling. Drawing on archaeology, oral traditions, classical texts, and forgotten testimonies, François Le Couer traces the movements of the biblical Israelites as a dark-skinned people — from ancient Egypt and Canaan, through the kingdoms of Nubia and Ethiopia, into Iberia under the Moors, and finally across the deserts and rivers of West Africa. Far from being erased, their presence was recorded time and again — in Egyptian reliefs, in Greco-Roman writings, in Arab chronicles, in Fulani and Hausa scholarship, and even in the diaries of European explorers. Le Couer shows how the Israelites not only survived exile but became an inseparable part of Africa’s story, blending into Yoruba, Igbo, and other nations who still preserve fragments of the old identity. This book challenges long-held assumptions about race, history, and religion. It argues that the biblical Israelites were African in appearance and culture, and that their descendants still walk among us today — not as relics of the past, but as living heirs with a future to claim. Both historical and prophetic, Africa’s Israel is more than a retelling. It is a call for Africa’s children to rediscover who they are, to unite across borders, and to reclaim their place in the world. If you’ve ever questioned the official story, if you’ve ever wondered why so many West Africans claim ancient Israelite roots, or if you are searching for a deeper understanding of identity, faith, and destiny — this is the book you’ve been waiting for.
