much of my time is spent reading God's word, the bible, or books about the scriptures, how to apply them to your life etc, i do love to read other books as well but i love the bible, the characters, the way that it speaks to me day in day out, about the situations i find myself in here in south africa 2009....
....however over the last couple of weeks my reading time has been taken up by two amazing (secular) books, the first called 'dead aid' by dambisa moyo, it looks at the way that aid is used and given to african nations, i suggests new ways to help and support those on the ground.....well worth a read especially if you are working with organisations that benefit or help 'those in need'.....maybe i will write more on my thoughts about that at a later date......
..the other book is called africa trek, have a look at the web link here, and is written by a french couple, sonia and alexandre poussin, who have walked from the cape of good hope, just down the road from us, to jerusalem, (yes i said walked) this book is the first section from cape town to mount kilimanjaro...wow what a read, amazon have it for sale in the uk here, i would recommend this as well i couldn't put it down i was so amazed by these guys encounters, with the whites, blacks and coloureds of this continent, it is so well written and a real eye opener in many ways as they walk in the footsteps of mankind.
