An old book. The oldest copy on their bookshelf, our friend said as he handed it to me.
(A very old book I always wanted to read.)
Old truths (foundational) from the other Kingdom that are still relevant for today’s life. God is still the same!
Looking at life from the side of the Accuser and his comrades. They are still the same. And we are still so very human.
Brilliantly done – letters from a senior to a junior devil!
(Subversive thoughts from an urban Zulu Warrior)
Through the eyes of a Zulu man (I grew up in Zululand – today called, KwaZulu-Natal), we look at life in Rainbow Nation South Africa – about minibus-taxis, working with ‘whiteys’ in big companies, the Indian community, violence, life in the suburbs and townships, raising children and more.
It was like climbing through that hole in the wall that divide us and having a look at life on the other side. How poor I am (we are) for not being encouraged to and not willing to do just that, much earlier in my life. I’ve missed out on ‘ryk en lekker’!
Alan E. Lewis:
“To pray is to confess not the abundance but the exhaustion of one’s verbal, intellectual, and spiritual resources. It is surrender…”

Gut-level honest writing from personal experience. A journey – when God answers and especially the times when he is just so silent, prayer does not work and we come head on with the greatness of God.
Together with his wife, Sammy they founded the prayer movement ‘24-7 Prayer’ but also wrestles with the dark side of prayer while battling the disease that threatens his wife’s life.
One of the best books on prayer. Easy to read. No quick answers or quick-fixes but he leaves us with hope.
The book is divided into four sections:
Maundy Thursday (the how)
Good Friday (the why)
Holy Saturday (the where)
Easter Sunday (the when)

“I believe in the sun even when it isn’t shining.
I believe in love even when I am alone.
I believe in God even when he is silent.”
