Drawing from his long experience in the DRC, Kenya and now in Ethiopia, Bishop Rodrigo Mejia, SJ, Challenges the reader to take a fresh look at the Catholic Church in Africa and its life and mission from both personal and communal viewpoints. The author uses a storytelling approach to the deeper issues in church and society today. Along with Mejia's reflections, the reader will enjoy stories with interesting titles such as: "The identity of the Bat;" The Three Wise Monkeys;" "A Virus Worse than HIV; and "Like a Fish in Hot Water." The reader may recognise some of these stories from other cultures and countries, but the author has cleverly adapted these to the African context. Mejia addresses the burning issues of Africa today like the evils of tribalism, the poor dying of hunger without noise, and racial or political conflicts increasing day by day to finally explode. This book is ideal for the ordinary Christian for personal reading and reflection, and for small Christian Communities or other small groups in both urban and rural Africa.
