Ever wondered what effect persistent bullying has on a six-year-old? Ask a forty-five-year-old. Ask me.Ever since the Black Lives Matter movement following the brutal murder of George Floyd in 2020, I have found myself sharing numerous stories about my past with my two children and husband. Having experienced colour prejudice or insensitive remarks about my brown skin tone throughout my life, my past has come back to haunt me . . . uninvited and unwanted. A 'dark' past. Or, as Indians would call it, a 'kala' past.Although I have mostly had a wonderful, blessed life, growing up between India and Japan, and now living in the UK, there are elements of my past that are painful, to say the least. Painful because I happened to be dark-skinned, born to fair parents. And this was seen by some Indians as an open invitation for taunting and derogatory comments.For hundreds of years, Indians have harboured the notion that being fair-skinned is a ticket to superiority. That's right - white supremacy doesn't just exist among white people. Sadly, this is still the case even in modern, 'liberated' India.For years I have tried to forget my painful past, like childbirth. But the remarks, even now, are relentless, leaving me festering like a sore. Writing about my past is an attempt to face this colour prejudice head-on. They say writers should write what they know. I am not a writer. My memoir is about who I was and who I have become. As it is a collage of extracts from my memory, digging deep from the tender age of six, the rendition is not as clear-cut as black and white. There are several shades of brown in between, no pun intended! Unravelling my story, I discovered more than I was prepared for: many buried secrets, some darker than colourism.

Imagine if you only had one task at your place of work, and it was the one thing no one showed you how to do. That would cause frustration for both you and your employer. We, as Christians, have one job above all others, share the Gospel. Yet, the topic of evangelism is either overcomplicated by many congregations or not talked about at all. This book is not about metrics, evangelism gimmicks, or ways to get people into our buildings. It is a simple resource to equip Christians to do the most important thing God has called us to do, share the Gospel with folks within our circles of influence. This book is for the Christian education and spiritual growth of Christians regarding evangelism.

To identify as a Christian is to classify Jesus Christ as the founder of a religion called Christianity. Still, what is the point of calling Jesus Christ King if we won't treat him like the King he really is? Jesus once asked his disciples; ...Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Some said John, Elias, Jeremias or some other prophet. Then He asked them. "Whom say ye that I am?" Then Peter answered.... "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God". Matthew 16:13-18. We must worship, glorify, esteem, and honor him as King. We call Jesus Lord because earth and everything on or in the earth is the personal sovereign property belonging to the King. The domain resides on the territorial property under the dominion of a ruling King, establishing the territory as a Kingdom. Kings do not rule religions, Kings rule territories.The story of the blind man found at the pool of Bethsaida is undoubtedly one of the most powerful testimonies of the Kingdom ever recorded; ...and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. Mark 8:22-25. When we see men as trees walking, or worse, when we Jesus as the founder of a religion it indicates that vision alone is not enough. Clear vision is needed to pursue the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. God created man to influence the earth with the Kingdom of Heaven through the Kingdom of God. I encourage Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, and Pastors.I encourage Catholics and Protestants. As well as Baptist, Pentecostals and Televangelists, as you go preach this gospel, with the words of Jesus; ...as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10:7.
