I'm very impressed and excited at the acceptance and popularity of this book. Having had the opportunity to withness and share, casually, in the development of some the stories,its a marvel to withness this gust of talent and greatness as expressed by all who have read the book, and made their comments. Its a privilage to be part of this greatness and pray for a greater tomorrow.
I'm very impressed with Fr. Akpan. Thank you for bringing his work to our attention. I will definitely be reading this.
This is one of the saddest things I've heard..
