Africa-Press – Ghana. A new publication titled “Under the Sword of Solomon,” targeted at avid readers across all age groups, has been launched in Accra.
The motivational pieces by Richil Elorm Afi Mawuenyega, explores themes of resilience, identity, and healing from parental loss.
Ms Mawuenyega, who has adopted the pseudonym: “The Third Scribe,” said she was inspired to write the book after an invitation to speak at an orphanage.
“Being African, I placed myself in the shoes of the African orphan,” she stated, adding that chapters of the book reflected her upbringing with parents who instilled in her the power of “positive declarations.”
Emphasising the power of positive thoughts and words, she urged readers to avoid procrastination and pursue their dreams relentlessly.
“If you have something in mind to do, start. If you don’t know how, seek help…I recommend this book not because I wrote it, but because there is a powerful message in it for everyone…Whatever life throws at you, never leave God out of the picture,” she added.
In a review, Ms Perpetual Opata, a Mental Health Advocate and Educationist, highlighted some essential principles of life captured in the book.
“It puts you in a place where, after experiencing tragedy, you ask yourself: do I remain stuck, or do I rise? It teaches resilience, even at an early age.
“Even though the author says it’s a book for children, I believe it’s for everyone, churches, schools, libraries, parents, and guardians. Adults, too, can learn how to better nurture the young ones by reading it,” she noted.
Mr Paa Kwesi Forson, a Public Speaker and Corporate Trainer, praised the author’s vision and tenacity in helping readers to “discover their purpose”.
“This book does not only present spiritual lessons, it also places them within an African context…It is not just here to save lives, but to save the future of children,” he said.
Mr Forson observed that some children lacked confidence to maximise their potentials but that could be fixed with the needed support.
Ms Richil Elorm Afia Mawuenyega holds a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree from the Central University.
She has featured in some global writing award schemes, and international essay competitions.
Apart from writing, she takes keen interest in painting, song writing, dance and playing musical instruments.
She is passionate about children’s rights and support for domestic violence survivors.
The inspiring author plans future works such as the “Dear Boys” series, aimed at addressing concerns of young males in society.
