Описание: Introducing an important new voice in contemporary fiction, `Everything Good Will Come` is set in Sefi Atta`s Nigerian-born homeland. It is 1971, a year after the Biafran War, and two African girls become friends - one born of privilege and the other, a lower class `half-caste`; one who is prepared to manipulate the traditional system while the other attempts to defy it. Written in the voice of one of these girls, the novel traces the unusual friendship into adult life, against the backdrop of tragedy, family strife, and a war-torn country. A wise and universal story of love, friendship, prejudice, survival, politics, and the cost of divided loyalties.

Описание: Wole Soyinka Prizewinning author of Everything Good Will Come recasts the international espionage tale by bringing the intrigue and politics of family life to the fore. Lagos, January 1976, six years after the Nigerian Civil War. A new military regime has been in power for six months, but rumors are spreading that a countercoup is imminent. At an art exhibition in the affluent Ikoyi neighborhood, Remi Lawal, a Nigerian woman who runs her own greeting-card shop, meets Frances Cooke, who introduces herself as an American art dealer, in Nigeria to buy rare beads. They become friends and over the next few weeks confide in each other about their aspirations, loyalties, marriage, motherhood--and Nigeria itself, as hospitable Remi welcomes the enigmatic Frances into her world. Remi's husband, Tunde, naturally suspects Frances--like any American in Lagos--of gathering intelligence for the CIA, yet she is unconvinced. Cynical about the country's unending instability, and alienated by the shallowness of the city's elite, she willingly shares her views with Frances. But the February 13 assassination of General Muhammed prompts Remi to reconsider one particular conversation with her new acquaintance in a different light. Her discouragement overcome by a reawakened sense of patriotism, she begins to doubt that the bead collector is who she claims to be. With her signature subtlety and wit, Sefi Atta examines a brief but profound friendship, and one Nigerian mother's yearning--amid legacies of conflict and uncertainty--to help build her country from home. Sefi Atta is also author of Everything Good Will Come (Myriad, 2019).

Описание: An account of an immigrant family's struggle and the lessons learned about diversity Writing at the height of her powers, The Bad Immigrant cements Sefi Atta's place as one of the best storytellers of our time. Through the voice of her first male protagonist, Lukmon, Atta peels away nuanced layers to expose the realities of migration from Nigeria to the USA, such as the strains of adjustment and the stifling pressure to conform without loss of identity. Covering a wide range of issues, including interracial and intra-racial tensions, and familial strains exacerbated in a new geographic and cultural environment, this novel is a thoroughgoing exposition of the many challenges that confront a modern migrant, told from the perspective of a protagonist whose sophistication and educational prowess is no guarantee of success in a country that is prone to valuing conformity over merit. Atta grounds Lukmon's narrative in a wide array of cultural and literary allusions that testify to the author's wit and sophisticated management of complicated matters in a manner at once erudite and accessible. In The Bad Immigrant, Atta deftly drives the narrative forward with repartee that forges deep intimacy with the characters and engenders sympathy for all of them, even those we find infuriating.

Описание: The church is on a mission - to continue the work of the ministry that the fathers and torchbearers of our faith handed over to us. The Bible tells us how the disciples gave everything even to the point of losing their lives as they committed themselves to establish the gospel and represent Christ to their generation. They had a burden to serve and be loyal to the call Christ had placed on them. There was nothing lukewarm about their dedication and loyalty to their assignment. They were sold out. The same responsibility has been handed over to us to ensure we do not miss out on carrying the baton effectively to hand over to those after us. This is the foundation on which I build my case for all Christians to get plugged in and get involved in your local church and community. I use my life example of serving faithfully under my pastor consistently for the last 25 years from London to Atlanta, to teach on some of the principles of service and loyalty, and the journey that led me to make his call my all. Through my service, and from my unique position and relationship to my pastor, I saw the challenges, the pain, the triumphs and the victories that were strangely intertwined in an intoxicating mixture that pastors experience daily. I also saw how important it is to have people rise up to support their pastors and the vision of their local church. Some of the situations I observed and experienced while serving in our church are used to encourage and help you to get committed to your local church and pastor. When you accepted Christ as your Savior, you signed up to join His army, and to do the work of the ministry from whatever position you occupy. You were not saved to be a consumer but to be a producer - one that bears fruit consistently. Remember that your service is part of an intricate plan of God for the advancement of His Kingdom. You are His partner and you matter So, I ask you - what is God getting out of your life?
