Sierra Leone

INTRODUCTION

The intention of the author is to describe what is considered as the deepest spiritual experiences of the most famous Christians of all ages. He reveals the impact and influence of the lives of characters in both Old Testament and New Testaments and in the history of the Church. One has a feel of the message of these characters when the author quotes them extensively. Generally, they believe in the spiritual fullness after salvation and that God is only waiting for Christians to be receptive in order for Him to shower His countless blessings on us. Among other things, the text assists the reader (through the lives of the characters treated) to discover how to be filled with the Spirit, obtain victory over sin, grow closer to God than ever before, acquire boldness to witness for Christ and find perfect peace and rest.

STRENGTHS

The author, like the editors of Devotional Classics, was able to realize that no single church or denomination has all the answers and impressively identified those whose consecrated lives and deep spiritual experiences made them a blessing to the body of Christ.

WEAKNESSES

The text sets out to accomplish (see first sentence in the introduction) a very difficult task of describing experiences of the most famous Christians of all ages. One doubts the parameters that any author would use to arrive at classification and whether personal bias (for instance denominational affiliation) or experience would not influence his selection. The separate chapters could have been devoted to some names like Thomas a Kempis and David Brainerd instead of the general treatment received under the section ''Other famous Christians''. Injustice is also done to many fine female Christian missionaries who are not even mentioned.

The back cover of the text informs us that one will discover how to have every need met. This is one dangerous prosperity teaching in Nigeria, Sierra Leone and the universal church. If all our needs can be met, the issue is what is the place of suffering, the wilderness journey, the dark night of the soul etc. in the life of the Christian?

QUOTABLE QUOTES

"About a quarter before nine, while he was describing the change God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warmed" (133).

"The Spirit then cleared the subject up so much in my mind that it was impossible for me to doubt that the Spirit of God has taken possession of my soul" (173).

RECOMMENDATIONS

No pastor, lay reader of church member should fail to read this invaluable book which is a clarion call to every Christian to have a deeper relationship with God. It is useful in ministry because it clearly shows how Christians from several backgrounds long to know about the spirit-filled and deeper life in Christ.

They make up about 5.4 of the Sierra Leones total population (about 377,003 people), and they live primarily in the capital Freetown and its surrounding Western Area.

Education in Sierra Leone $14.99 Recently emerging from a decade-long civil war, Sierra Leone is making a remarkable recovery. The future holds great promise as well as many challenges for the education system in Sierra Leone. The rapid expansion of enrollments in primary school after the war will place pressure on the secondary school level and careful planning will be required to manage the expansion. As the priority shifts from emergency rehabilitation of schools to established basic service delivery, overcrowded classes and the quality of teaching and learning will need to be addressed. Focus should turn to the children from poor families and to eliminating disparities across regions, urban and rural areas and between boys and girls. The future of the education system will depend largely on the success of the decentralization process, which in turn relies on careful planning and the building of local and central capacity. All of this will require fiscally sustainable long-term development plans for the education sector.This book is an analysis of the education system in Sierra Leone, particularly at the primary and secondary levels. It provides an analytical foundation for the preparation of an education sector-wide strategy.

Combating Corruption in Sierra Leone $96.59 The Sierra Leonean paradox a country rich in mineral and marine resources but one ranked the poorest country according to the UNDP Human Development Index of 2007. Some of the major causes of poverty in Sierra Leone are the prevalence of all forms of corruption, Bad Governance and the prevalent high level of illiteracy. Corruption contributes significantly to the state of economic bankruptcy in the country. Previous governments have all sought to plunder the state coffers and enriching themselves and their clans rather than strive to provide the urgent needs for the country. Corruption has become the order of the day and the cancer that destroys the fabrics of the society. Unless corruption is seriously combated, Sierra Leones future will be plagued by misery, underdevelopment and extreme poverty, which in turn may have serious consequences on the stability within the country. Combating Corruption in Sierra Leone is an attempt by the author in placing the fight against corruption high on the political and economic agenda in a country endowed with enormous resources, one with the capabilities of being one of the richest countries in Africa.
