So, the rationale of having written this book is to say an inspiring word to a lot of people who are hurting, crying and sounding defeatist, an inspiring word to millions of people who are living in pain and indigence. I wrote it for a young chap who hopes there is no life after death so that he can finally rest, for a dejected ailing woman who thinks God enjoys torturing her and for some hopeless lad who threatens his friends he’d shoot himself. I wrote it for them and for myself. Boniface Sagini

Nelson Mandela said, “So, the rationale of having written this book is to say an inspiring word to a lot of people who are hurting, crying and sounding defeatist, an inspiring word to millions of people who are living in pain and indigence. I wrote it for a young chap who hopes there is no life after death so that he can finally rest, for a dejected ailing woman who thinks God enjoys torturing her and for some hopeless lad who threatens his friends he’d shoot himself. I wrote it for them and for myself.” In an interview with the BBC in 2005, Nelson Mandela talked about his own book “I am freeâ€� which was published in 1988. He said, “I am free because of my convictions.

I am free because of my love for others. That is the only freedom that matters, not just freedom from persecution but freedom to help others to achieve peace and freedom from poverty."
