Publisher's Synopsis
Where am I? I am lost. Suddenly I hear the Voice, I see the Light. In the deepest throes of confusion and heartache comes the Light that reunites one with the universe. From the death of a loved one emerges a newfound acceptance and the ultimate freedom of the soul. In a swirl of injustice and hypocrisy, the soul valiantly fights back. These healing lessons and many more are the topics of The Battle and Victory of the Soul, South African poet Nozipho Zubane's inspiring and mystical collection that draws from her own painful experiences and spiritual growth. Anyone who is seeking words of comfort and encouragement to turn their own lives around will find much solace and support in these thought-provoking, healing meditations. Written for seekers of all ages and walks of life, this stirring collection represents an authentic and true expression of the raw emotions Nozipho confronted when she found herself at a crucial crossroads in her own life. After resolving to remove herself from the toxic corporate environment in which she existed, the poet embarked on a course to search for greater purpose and meaning. After two years with no job and an empty savings account, she was driven to live as a recluse. It was then that she underwent the deep emotional cleansing that transformed her life. Initially longing for intellectual stimulation, human contact, and material comfort, she endured many dark nights of the soul, to ultimately be saved by the grace of God. Whether gently illustrating the redemptive power of the soul or reconsidering the complexity of love, each poem furthers the book's abiding goal to help other people heal their wounds in order to reach their full potential. With its fresh perspective and all-embracing approach, The Battle and Victory of the Soul is certain to offer individuals a lifeline to reconnect with their souls in new and restorative ways. It's a spiritual wealth of hope and healing that may just bring new light to the darkest days.
