BOOK REVIEW

Book Review 3: The Case for Christ

Written by Lee Strobel

At this point in time, I sit back and say how GREAT is our God. You see we had been taught that faith requires no reasoning and no engaging of the human mind. I agree with that statement but it does not mean that we are to end there because the answers and substantial EVIDENCE is also available.

Lee once an atheist looks at providing such evidence in a way that we understand and yet see the deity if Christ. I found this book enlightening and it challenged me spans. I liked the way the book was uniquely written at the same time inspiring and very informative. The author went all the way to having interviews with the HEAVY academically yet spiritual.

Lee was asking questions we dare not ask per chance God be angry or just us as unbelievers but surprisingly the answers are there and exciting building upon our faith. Some of the questions he asks are:

Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted and do they stand up to scrutiny? (Eyewitness evidence)
Is there credible evidence for Jesus outside His biographies? (Corroborating evidence)
Does archaeology confirm or contradict Jesus’ biographies? (Scientific evidence)
Was Jesus really convinced that he was the son of God? (Identity Evidence)
Was Jesus crazy when He claimed to be the Son of God? (Psychological evidence)
Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God? (Profile evidence)
Did Jesus and Him alone match the Identity of the Messiah? (Fingerprint evidence)
Was Jesus’ death a sham and His resurrection a hoax? (Medical evidence)
Was Jesus’ body really absent from His tomb?
Was Jesus seen alive after His death on the cross?
Are there any supporting facts that point to the resurrection? (circumstantial evidence)


If you doubt Christianity or an atheist still, this is a good book for you. Christians that want more insight into the nature and life of Christ this is very informative. Scholars who want to be masters of the story of Christ, you will love this perspective that Lee uses.

Once more, thanks Gerald you are God sent, I love being your friend.
My Rating 10/10. Unreservedly


Book Review 4: Capitalist Nigger
Written by Chika Onyeani

An unusual book but very profound. I like the conviction the author has and you can follow and understand the arguments the author brings across.

A very provocative book yet it gets you to think accurately and cleanly. The aouthor does not dilute his words or tone down his rebuke. Chika sounds indeed frustrated and yes angry at the foolishness of the black race. He cross refers the Black Americans and the Africans this part I enjoyed too.


Key notes:

• No blaming you are responsible by yourself
• Be aggressive – have the killer instinct (Chika is militant)
• Be knowledgeable – information is readily available anywhere
• Working together works
• The black race is non productive but highly consumptive
• Black race is mis-educated more like mis-firing

The book is a good read and very provoking especially to the black race and the author has rightfully used the right language for that. Despite my inner man compelling me to skip certain words and language I recommend the book to all the black race as the book is really good for personal and race introspect> I am glad there are people who see things this way with such a great conviction and desire to see our people transform.


My Rating 7.5/10.

MY STUFF

Its amazing how the Spirit of the Lord speaks to us. yesterday's prayer meeting was awesome the presence of God was electric and man my legs were once more feeble and boy how I love the voice of the Lord.

'Muna zvinhu zvangu zvandakaisa ndizvo ndinotevera-'

We had a time to re-dedicate ourselves to all manner of prayer. A call to prayer and fellowship with the father. I ANSWER to the call. I devote to prayer Lord, thanks for your patience and your grace have GIVEN myself to prayer.

Earlier on on praying for Zim, the Word of the Lord came to me saying, Zim has given people, we have given skill and talent to other nations, our sons and daughters have we sown to other nations. Our scattering will pay off, it will yield fruit.
