In the Face

About the Book

the book should have facebook posts and articles as a primary focus, reflecting moods, brought on by thoughts for the day, usually revealed in the wee hours of the morning which may be sweet, sour, thought provoking plain in the face, frequently triggered by something read, heard on the news or conversed – a singular life experience – all processed when I believe the brain is in an unwound state, at its peak of creativity and awareness, when sleeping, when bike ridding... Instead it turned out to be, for the most part, stories of my life.

About the Author

This book already says a great deal about me. A candid display of certain episodes that deeply marked my life and steered it to what it is today. In a more concise way, I was born 58 years ago, Portugal, in a very conservative Catholic family. Since very young I felt like a square peg being pushed into a round hole by my parents and society in general. Don't need to send in the troops. Studies didn't make my fancy, not because of lack of means from my parents or less brightness on my part. I think academics weren't able to catch my attention then. Graduated from high school and the rest has been out of much curious reading and digging. I believe the main reason for my existence is to tell people about Jesus. Right now I am not an integral part of a main stream church or religious organization, pretty much operating independently. Since the year 2000 I have been involved with a missionary / humanitarian Project in Africa called Tchuma Tchato, a northern Mozambican dialect meaning Our Thing, which I direct.
