  In Acts 2:17, the Lord says He would pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, in the last days, and the result would be young men seeing visions and old men dreaming dreams. THE LAST DAYS-TIME TO PIERCE THE VEIL There is a veil covering the physical eyes and our spiritual understanding. from seeing invisible things, even though, these invisible things are in existence. Some people do not believe, at all, in this existence, but this doesn’t stop them from being in existence. Only when this veil is torn or pierced, can we get to see these things. The Bible is full of men who pierced this veil. Elisha could see in this realm. When the Syrian army surrounded him, and his servant, he had to pray for his servant’s eyes to be opened, so he could see the chariots of fire encamped around them. On, earth, our inner vision, which causes the brain to see pictures, at night, can perceive some of these happenings in the invisible world. And God shows us things to prepare us for something, or cause ...

I AM MALALA-The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by MALALA YOUSAFZAI with Christina Lamb

-


I am MALALA is about a young girl who does not believe in the culture of leaving girls uneducated. Malala was not born with a silver spoon in her mouth but she was educated by her parents and grandparents. She was named after Malalai Maiwand, the greatest heroine of Afghanistan.

Malala was born on July 12, 1997. She always topped her class. Her mother did school briefly by starting and dropping out at the same term. Therefore, her greatest joy was to see that her daughter was educated. 

This leads us to 1956 when her grandparents were still single. During this time, the Shutans became part of Pakistan and created the Taliban for Islamisation and socialization. Before Taliban was created, the Pushtans and the Pakistans fought against the red army (the Russians). A maulana called Sufi Mohammed came to Swat and recruited some men to fight against the Russians in the name of Islam. This maulana organization was what grew up to become the Swat Taliban.

Malala stood up for the education and the rights of the girl child. Writing on the Taliban and the freedom of her people: the Swat people, at age eleven, she follows in her father's and grandfather's footsteps in her fight for the rights to education for the Swat girls.  The Taliban were fond of using the killings of girl children to warn the people of Swat against educating them. They even go further to bring down schools in Swat and the neighboring villages.

"The bloody square", as they call it, is a place where the Taliban kill and dump dead bodies. They leave a letter on each of the corpses.

One day, on her way home from school, Malala was shot by the Taliban with three of her classmates who were also hit by bullets, but that didn't stop her from fighting for the freedom of the Swat.

In the end, this young Pashtun girl boldly declares "I am MALALA, my world has changed but I have not."

FINISHING STRONG by STEVE FARRAR

In this book, Steve Farrar addresses Christian men who want to run the Christian race and finish well. Part One: The Priority of Finishing Strong Chapter One: One Out of Ten Steve starts with the stories of three rookie evangelists who started out in ministry in the year 1945. They were Billy Graham, Chuck Templeton, and Bron Clifford. They were all vibrant young ministers on fire for God. However, from the natural look of things, most would have expected Templeton and Clifford to turn out better than Billy Graham because they were finer preachers. However, by 1950, Templeton had left the ministry and no longer even believed the validity of Christ's claims. And by 1954, Clifford was done in by alcohol and financial irresponsibility. Only Billy Graham stayed strong until the end. For a Christian, how you finish is much more important than how you started out. A Christian man is in ministry full-time. He says if a man finishes strong, it will only be because he has tapped into streng...

Alek was born the seventh of nine children in a Sudanese family that belonged to the Dinka tribe. She would forever be proud to come from the Dinka. Few years after her birth, the war that ravaged Sudan began. She was named Alek, meaning “Black-spotted cow”. Her family lived in Wau, apart from her sister who lived in London with her architect husband, and some of her brothers who lived in the cities. There were times when Ajok-Alek’s sister who lived in London would write letters that she wanted to come back home to Sudan, but they would write back telling her that the future of the family depended on her. If they were ever going to be out of the warring Sudan, it would be Ajok who would help them obtain refugee status. The Dinka people loved cows. Their cows were sacred to them. They would name each cow and talk with them. The Dinka people moved a lot, as herdsmen do, but some of them came to settle down and had villages and communities, but their love for cows still lingered. They li...

Trevor Story, a South African comedian, tells his inspiring story of growing up, as a mixed child, in South Africa Apartheid. Blacks and whites were prohibited from having sexual intercourses and if it was found that a mixed child came from that union, the child was separated from his parents and put in a ‘mixed community’. The South African Apartheid was one of the worst from of colonization. The whites set up Apartheid as a strategy to eventually dominate South Africa, with all her mineral resources and bounties. The book is divided into three parts. In part one he tells of how his mother, who was a black Xhosa South African saw the cracks in the Apartheid system and fearlessly defied all odds to conceive and bring him up as a mixed child, in a country and time where it was illegal to have one. Trevor’s mother, ‘Patricia Nombuyiselo Noah’, was daring in all she did. Her family was relocated to Soweto, the township where she lived with her mother, but she ran away from home and reloca...
