Raised by an Ostrich (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781919254319)

Want to read an epic true story which draws surreal, metaphorical parallels with the story of Joseph (of the bible)? Dare I say that by virtue of my gender, my journey from the pit to prison and to the palace of lifting was not as linear, as I have more peculiar encores to recount.

I am Josephine - the one who's received God's mercy!

Indeed, every human born of a woman will be blinded by suffering at some point in their lives. Suffering is rude, invasive and does not care who you are or how well you've future-proofed your life or posterity. Suffering is guaranteed - whether you believe in God or the universe; you're agnostic or atheist; rich or poor - your heart will constrict with pain, invariably.

So, if that's the case, if it's surely inevitable, why not make it count? Why not suffer, well?

My hope is that this book enriches your life in a deeply consequential and profound way. I cannot promise that the pages will not evoke a cocktail of emotions in you as you journey through, but I guarantee that you will certainly chuckle a few times! More crucially, I hope this memoir helps you gain a deeper understanding of the notion of suffering and why God allows it - especially if you are here on a special assignment in this world.

If you want to know what the 'Scandal of Grace' looks like, then grab your favourite hot drink and tuck in! And I pray that an irrepressible fire will be ignited within you - a fire that propels you from inertia and monotony to attaining a fresh revelation of what this life - and your life - is truly all about... to rediscovering and fulfilling your purpose.

I'm inviting you to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Enjoy!
