Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Momodou Ceesay has written a very beautiful book with powerful, life changing truths. We live in a world where we are accustomed to thinking in terms of 'them' and 'us'. In a world with separate countries and separate governments. We put up fences to keep others out and distance ourselves from people who don't look and talk as we do. In this book Momodou is trying to raise our consciousness. By raising our consciousness then only we can return to the awareness of our oneness. His message is that we are all spiritual beings and our true identity is love.His ability to uncover and nurture our sel-belief can literally make dreams come true. We all have the same dream...a life full of love and blessings. In this book we are faced with the truth, that the only way we can achieve love is unity! We done! Momodou, the society needs people like you...to voice our dream and to express our most cherished goals which is love, peace and unity! Please carry on with your spiritual mission.
The Art of this book is so alive, so powerful and heart touching! One can clearly perceive the message of this book by just looking at the art. If I was to give a name for the art of this book I will name it 'The Lightworker's Prayer'.

In this book, the protagonist Issa Kujabi seeks an audience with God,in order to lament on the condition of African people today. The book speaks of social injustice; the cold-heartedness of the ruling elite in Africa; and the phenomena of Africa s demise, but done with poetry and art. Two distinct expressions of creativity are combined to put forth a powerful and moving story; a story of an African man s spiritual journey. The work uses excerpts from Hebrew Scripture and the Koran to describe the searching for a better life for African and African American people. Momodou Ceesay adds to the virtual reality of the story line by delineating the poem with 36 of his original paintings.Through a dialogue , the poem begins with the particular destruction, genocide and suffering of African people and of their descendants in the Diaspora.The scope is then widened to include the negative forces that seem to grip the planet as a whole.It moves from despair to vision as the dialogue progresses, ending with a revelation giving reasons for suffering and what the future holds for Africa and the world as a whole.
