Download or read book Names from Africa written by Ogonna Chuks-orji and published by Johnson Publishing Company (IL). This book was released on 1972 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The giving of names is of great importance in Africa. People are named after events, happenings, great things, the days of the week, or the order in which they were born. For example, if a couple had long wanted a son, in Nigeria they may call him "Ayinde" (Yoruba), meaning the one we prayed for. In Ghana, if a boy is born on Saturday he is called "Kwame" (Akan). In Tanzania, the second born of twins will be called "Doto" (Zaramo). People have asked me whether names like James, Gary, or Francis could be translated into African form. There is no direct translation from English names to African, but if we go back to the original meaning of an English name, we can often find an African equivalent. For example, the English Theodore and the Ibo "Okechuku" both mean "God's gift."--From preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-discovery and self-expression are essential if you desire to grow in spiritual awareness. The emphasis in this book is the spiritual dimension of personal development. Personal development (often called self-improvement) is a popular subject these days. You can spend thousands of dollars attending courses and seminars; read hundreds of books that have been published on this subject. Many of these books, seminars, and courses can be quite helpful, and provide effective ideas and concepts that will be useful to you. Yet, there is usually something missing the spiritual aspect. We spiritualize the concept of self-development or self-expression, and raise it to a higher level. Ask yourself, "Am I using my unique God-given talents? Am I focusing my physical, mental, and spiritual energies in the right direction? Am I excited about life? Am I becoming that which I most sincerely desire to be? Do I know where I am going? Is there a plan? Am I genuinely being true to myself? If not, why not?" Assess every area of your life so that you will know exactly where you stand in relation to your goals. Each theme will have his or hers viewpoint the masculine and feminine!
