SPINNERET

About the Book

This is an extraordinary book written by an ordinary man about his remarkable life journey. This book is a catalogue of his life-changing experiences with the loss of his firstborn, catastrophic bankruptcy, devastating discrimination, and even atrophic alienation in the twenty-first century. He has described his life story in his own candid way for the world to know his experience, which impacts on social, economical, and political domains. Once, he was one of the hungry millions in India, faced poverty in England, and experienced the life of the hungry millions in Sudan and the life of the oppressed Libyan people under the dictatorial regime of Colonel Gaddafi. His constant walk with the Lord Jesus Christ has seen him through all the roadblocks and clifftops and made him more than a conqueror in the Lord.
