Exhortation to My Dear Sister Pontso Phakoe

The book is aimed at girls who are growing up in Southern Africa, who face poverty and dire prejudices and social injustices as a way of life. The lessons shared in this book I learned growing up as a black, impoverished, preacher's daughter. As an Obstetrician and gynaecologist, listening to women's stories and having a platform where women can share their pain and their fears, I have realised that we have so much in common that are our dreams and goals and also that our challenges and difficulties run the same cycle. The women in my life, both professionally and personally, with their stories and dynamics have poured into the wisdom in this book. Above all God has put it together so that His Word becomes the true answer to all things that we face as women of all ages living here, in the land of our fathers. In the pages of this book, we get to understand who we are, why we are and that Today by God's grace and God's guidance leads to a better tomorrow. The book demands an introspective journey so that we live consciously without the burden of misinformation and lack of understanding, but with insight and a clear focus to know that with each milestone we reach, God is glorified . It is my prayer that this book reaches the most disadvantaged and the most burdened of women, and through the living, powerful truth of The Word of God in this exhortation, you might receive healing in the name of Jesus.
