INSPIRATIONAL BOOKS
Two inspirational books set out to address the numerous challenges of
life and guide people on how to understand God’s intentions for their
lives, authored by a seasoned banker, Adolphus Areban Abraham, would
soon hit the bookshelves nationwide.
Titled, “Return to Canaan” and “Arrows of Jacob’s Red Stew”, the launch
of the two books billed for Saturday, March 23 at Algate Congress
Resort, Abacha Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, coincides with the
author’s 40th birthday anniversary. One of the books, Return to Canaan, a
hundred and nineteen paged book divided into nine chapters, is meant
specifically to help people who have lost focus in life to rediscover
and recognize their calling and return to the place where they would
have satisfaction rather than jeopardize their future and that of those
around them. Return to Canaan, specifically teaches that, although man
first strives to satisfy the basics of life before other aspirations, it
must be noted that whenever man finds himself, the need to satisfy his
aspiration can only be met by God.
“You may impatiently take steps towards meeting those needs but
whatever step you take and whichever manner you take it, God remains the
ultimate sources of satisfaction of those needs”, the author stated in
the book. The writer stated further that, “…it is a the gift of God for a man to
work and eat the fruit of his labour. So any ill-gotten wealth is
vanity and can diminish. That is important for us to know that we can be
rich through the power of God for ‘it is He that giveth thee power to
get wealth.” The author, who figuratively refers to God’s intention for man as
Canaan, biblically explained that in the book that Canaan is a “land of
promise where the they would eventually return after being scattered …”
Laden with Bible references to give the readers a spiritual insight
into the book, Return to Canaan will guide you on how to gain
understanding of God’s intentions, how you can work towards those
intentions and how you can harmonies your intentions with that of God.
The steps to take, the possible challenges you will encounter and their
antidote, have also been addressed in the book. Therefore, if it is your intention to prosper and live within God’s will
or make money and be strikingly rich, or better still to make name and become a great man as well as be happy and be blessed while
blessing others, Return to Canaan, will guide and lead you to whatever
your intentions in life are. The book seeks to help you realize that your
destiny may not lie in that job your doing or the situation you find
yourself right now.
The second book, Arrows of Jacob’s Red Stew, on the other hand, is set
out to review the various challenges we face as ambitious young men and
women who desire to be celebrated in our chosen fields.
“It is a lamentation for those that have worked hard enough to earn a
place at the top of their chosen endeavours but by the manipulation of
unseen hands, have not attained their full potentials. It is a chronicle
of what the "Star Child’ faces" on a daily basis trying to attain his
goal.” More importantly, Arrows of Jacob’s Red Stew, a 166 paged book
with seven chapters, that dwell specifically on the biblical well known
story of Esau and Jacob, will help you identify your level of success in
your chosen career, remind you of your dreams and aspirations in life
as well as let you know things you should do to avoid living a life
without making impacts.
More importantly, it is stated in the book that, “…We have no power of
our own. Our strength is in the Lord and we must learn to give God His
place in all our victories… An attitude of respect for God and others
around you will ensure that when you survive the Jacobs of this world,
you will truly be alive and well to enjoy the fruits of your labour.”
Both Return to Canaan and Arrows of Jacob’s Red Stew are written in a simple-to-understand English that would be easily absorbed by the
average person. The books, laden with references from the Bible for more
spiritual insight, each chapter of both books follows strategically and
logically to enable easy comprehension.
