Evangelistic Poetry & Zimbabwe's Adult Literacy Campaign: Two Major Assignments by a Former Btc Student 1984-87 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781728398761)

Evangelistic Poetry & Zimbabwe's Adult Literacy Campaign: Two major assignments by a former BTC Student 1984-87 as the title states are two pieces of inspirational and literary research work written in the form of both a depth study and a major assignment for the Belvedere Teacher's College departments of English and Education respectively. Due to the time gap of over three decades between the time when I wrote the original assignments and the time I eventually managed to get the two tasks published, I must admit, as I converted the handwritten assignments into a typed manuscript, I felt obliged to alter some parts of it and this was a bit more pronounced in the Evangelistic poetry probably because right from its onset it was dominantly more of what some readers might others might view as personal views or personal convictions which, I however personally view as dominantly 'divine inspiration'. Consistent with my original intention, the poems seek to function as a vehicle which a reader can aboard and allow the Spirit of God drive them to their conviction or conversion point to experience the new spiritual birth if they have never reached that point before. Hence, in comparison with orthodox religious poems, these are basically preaching poems aimed at winning the reader's soul for Christ if they are not 'born again'. Part 2 of the book mainly discusses Zimbabwe's post independence National Adult Literacy Campaign; problems and progress. It gives the reader a glimpse of the background and foundation work which eventually upgraded Zimbabwe to a status of into having the highest rate of literacy (reportedly around 92%) in contemporary Africa.
