Book Cover & Preview Text
This is Liberia Too: Prayers and Poems, introduces a practical way of relating to God: through prayer. They come from my daily collection of prayers, something I have been recording since 1991. What is prayer? In my conviction and context, prayer is the breath I take, every step, and every move I make. Prayer is living the presence of God always. Prayer is talking to God, and letting God talk. Prayer is an intercession on behalf of someone or people. Prayer is a gift. It may be speech or it may be silence. Prayer occurs anywhere and everywhere. Prayer is in you. You are in prayer. Prayer is good for the soul. It is what moves mountains. Prayer is believing before seeing. As I trust in God, I can communicate because with God all things are possible. Prayers are said, recited or written. I have chosen to write mine in poetry form because they reflect not just a saying, but a thoughtful saying, based on what I believe to be my theology. It also reflects a broader theological fact that God is in everyone, and is everywhere. If this volume helps, keep on praying to God. Peace and blessings!

About the Book
This collection reflects realities in my life over the years, especially during and after the war, 1989 through 2003. The prayers are personal in nature and scope, but reflect broader thematic concerns. They represent my daily devotion to God. While most of them are specific to a Liberian context, they also express universal themes, and can be beneficial to any reader. The prayers mostly contain at least six lines, in poetry form. The uniqueness of the work is its creative force. That the prayers are written in verse form also expresses a uniqueness.
