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!

Book Synopsis AFRICAN PERSONAL NAMES by : Etse Kobla Makafui Ladzekpo
Download or read book AFRICAN PERSONAL NAMES written by Etse Kobla Makafui Ladzekpo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-08-07 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contributes towards the rediscovery of the concept of African-ness and the rejuvenation of the African tradition and culture. It is in the hope of saving the African way of life that pro-Africanists have found it necessary to hold on to their native African names and encourage their use as a means of espousing the cultural heritage of the people. Though the main focus is on African names, the book slides in brief moments into some cultural elements of the African people. There is so much to be said about the people of Africa that this book cannot now fulfil. However, it is anticipated that African names are a good start to highlight the essential features of the life of the people. Consequently, it is expected that the book would aim to signify and reflect the rich diversity of Africa’s ethnic and rural communities.
