Thank God I… had my first book signing
What an exciting weekend I just had. I’ve just got home from my first ever book signing at the Agape Spiritual Centre in Los Angeles.
That’s me in the middle holding my book (with 9 of the other authors) >>>
In December 2006, on New Year’s Eve, I met up with 4 of my close friends and we set our goals for 2007. One of my goals was to have a book published and have it go to #1 on the NY Times bestseller list. Well, the first part just got ticked off, now for the second…
The book, titled “Thank God I…” is a compilation of 47 inspirational short stories about regular people overcoming extraordinary circumstances. Each story is entitled “Thank God I…” e.g. “Thank God I Was Raped” and “Thank God I Went Bankrupt” etc…
My story in the book tells the tale of how I spent SIX months living as the only white man in an African township (shanty town). It just got published in a book called “Thank God I…”
My story is called “Thank God I Was A Racist” and is an honest account of how I overcame my racial conditioning that I inherited while growing up in apartheid South Africa by moving to Gugletu. Guguletu (population 100,000) is a shanty town 15 km outside Cape Town. After SIX months of living there as the only white man, any predjudice I had moving in was completely gone. It was a defining expereince in my life.
You can get yourself a copy at Amazon and read these 47 inspiring stories. We (the authors) need all the help we can get making this book reach #1 on the NY Times bestseller list, so please tell all your friends about it too and help us make this book a bestseller.
