Publisher's Synopsis
If you ever doubted God's miraculous power to save and transform lives, then you must read the amazing testimonies of the lives of Saa M.McCarthy and Philemon Samuels. Both men grew up in Liberia, West Africa, led separate lives for 35 years until God connected the strangers from over 3 thousand miles apart under the most unusual of circumstances. One was living awaiting death; the other was dying to live.
Then I said to God in my heart, "I have no money and I know no one who will be willing and able to help me." Then I heard God respond back to me in a soft and reassuring voice, "Step out and prove me." I thought to myself, "My dream. That was the word I heard in my dream. Could it be that this is such the time?" I felt encouraged that God reminded me of the word in my dream from several months prior.
Your career is what you do for a living. Your passion is what you live to do. Your passion is the burning desire, deep within to excel far beyond the mundane, boring and monotonousness of life; to escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary. Blessed are those who know their passion in their youth-they shall have a long and fulfilling life.
Dying to Live
I am a career accountant, certified in management accounting, treasury management and financial management. I have over 11 years of experience in finance. My life was locked inside of me, until I encountered a man named Philemon Samuels, through whom I found my passion. My passion is not in my career. In a space of one year, the Lord showed me that my true passion was serving my country, Liberia. I came alive when I poured out my heart towards Philemon Samuels. There is nothing adequate to describe the moment when we embraced at the airport in College Station, Texas. As I held him, I wept not just for him, but for my country, in hopes that someday we will put our destructive and bitter past of civil wars and death behind us; embracing the future filled with hope, love, and care for our brothers and sisters.
