Produktbeschreibung

Written in real-life conversational style, Path to The Dream Life would be a delightful read for anyone interested in African life, and what the journey from limitations to the dream is like in that culture. Young Adults on the search for life purpose and quest for fulfillment will find this book particularly relatable and inspiring. Spiced with subplots of perseverance, ambition, faith, hope, clean and wholesome romance, friendship and the search for ultimate purpose and fulfilment, this story is both entertaining and motivating.

Path to the Dream Life is about the struggle of Imma, a young man living in Nigeria, West Africa, to rise above his circumstances and make good in the world. The changed lives and faith convictions of the friends he encounters along the way confront him with choices - choices that place him on a collision course with everyone and everything that matter to him. As Imma struggles with those choices, his concept of a dream life and the path thereto are tested.

The broken road meanders to The Life, Christ, and to Gift, the love of his life that nearly wasn't. A romance ensues that hits its own cross-roads and forces them to linger over the choice of the one - until the moments both see beyond themselves and progress in a relationship that will mirror and beckon the true Dream Life in more ways than one. Imma captures it in a poem he recites to Gift: '… But in the darkness of my doubts You lifted the lamp of love And I saw in your face The road that I should take'.

These are some of the things that have been said about Path to the Dream Life:

…a true-to-life inspiring narrative written in a free-flowing conversational style. Anayo's great narrative skills make the book a compulsive read for anyone who picks it up

…tackles the age-old issue of not experiencing lasting contentment, and takes readers on a journey of finding true peace and joy... Read this book - and follow Imma as he discovers the path that leads to the dream life we all crave!

…introduces Imma, an ambitious young African on a quest to find personal and familial respect, professional success and spiritual fulfillment. Mr. Onwuka's incisive writing takes readers through Imma's trials and tribulations in such a compelling and engaging manner that it's difficult not to root for his likable protagonist as he searches for his place in the world. With keen insight, impressive pacing and a dash of humor Mr. Onwuka presents a narrative that resonates.

… spins an intriguing story in the lingo of his native Africa. The story unfolds around the faith journey of Imma from the time he was a child in his native African village, through his education, transition to the corporate world, introduction to Jesus and the Christian faith, and finally his marriage to a beautiful Christian woman. Imma's story reflects what most of us face in life - challenges, hurts, traumas, disappointments, and successes. It is a great reminder that life is a journey complete with trials and successes and requires sincere faith in God to truly find deep meaning and ultimate satisfaction!

…thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is fast-moving and the way you described the different characters is vivid and I could just picture them as I read. I also enjoyed the humorous voice you gave to the lead character and his friends - had me laughing out loud several times as I read.

Almost every successful personfrom economically emerging nations like Nigeria) passes through the ferocious fires of economic deprivation...This book is a rare blend of humor and dialogue on serious contemporary issues. I recommend this piece to all, especially our youths, as a proof that what the mind can conceive, it can achieve.
