African Wisdom: 101 Proverbs from the Motherland
No matter how long a log stays in the water it does not become a crocodile. One cannot sow maize and harvest peanuts. Don't look where you fell but where you slipped. The young cannot teach tradition to the old. These are just a few of the more than 100 inspiring proverbs contained in African Wisdom. Too often Africa is associated only with poverty, disease, and conflict. These misconceptions overlook the wisdom that the motherland of civilization offers. The author helps readers discover many previously hidden treasures. His inspiring reflections after each proverb point to overlapping themes to be found in African and in biblical spirituality.
