Kindly consider posting a book review for the following self-published book that currently as an endorsement from Dr Michael Beckwith

Author Name:Mandhla Mgijima

BookTitle: Nqobile - The Story of Becoming

ISBN: 978-0-7974-8761-1

Publication Date: 2 November 2016

Synopsis:

Nqobile is a young man raised in post-colonial Zimbabwe.  Having been awarded a dream bursary to attend college in America, he thinks his success came as a result of his proximity to whiteness; something he's believed in since attending a majority white high school. 

While on break, he witnesses a depressing incident at the border between Zimbabwe and South African that shatters his desire to maintain this proximity, as he now feels that blacks will always be inferior.

Back on campus, he searches for meaning through religion and by joining black consciousness groups.  When both avenues fail dramatically, he soon discovers he will have to look within himself to find purpose.

In telling Nqobile’s story, which appears as a novella within his novel, author Mandhla Mgijima outlines a new consciousness paradigm of existence that will inspire people to move beyond the conceptual and materially obsessed world we currently live in.
