Produktinformationen zu „Becoming Amos (ePub)“
Amos Godwin is a confused and angry young man who is raised in the confused, angry and unjust society of apartheid South Africa.
With the progression of time, society transforms while he slips further into chronic alcoholism. The picture on the cover (illustrated by the authors son) shows how Amos is constantly seeking answers by looking through the bars of his addiction at the confused and sad world he longs to be part of, yet he is unaware of the door behind him which is wide open and leads to redemption rather than readmission.
Add to this the actions of other men and women who make choices in their own lives, and the result is a recipe for disaster. These lives collide, becoming entangled and corrupt. The sins of the fathers impact directly on the lives of the sons.
Once healing begins, the web of abuse and deceit seems impossible to unravel.

Autoren-Porträt von Amos Godwin
Amos Godwin was born in a large mining town in South Africa during the height of apartheid. He describes himself as a redeemed addict. Amos was conscripted into the South African army after completing his matric. After this, he worked in the corporate world for many years while slowly slipping into drug abuse and chronic alcoholism ending in suicidal depression. During this time, he was a vociferous anti-apartheid activist.
Today he is a spiritual leader, writer, teacher and counselor. He is a full-time staff member and social responsibility officer of a successful logistics firm, which exports goods to sub-Saharan Africa. He is an active member of his local church where he is currently training dozens of fellow members to lead addicts to redemption. Amos has also begun counselling and training at another local church in his community. He is involved daily in helping recovering addicts back into society. He is on the committee of a local kids’ home, which houses abandoned children. Amos is also a campaigner against domestic violence.
Amos still resides in South Africa and married his wife, who is a born-again redeemed crack addict and a former victim of violence, early in 2017. He has two sons and a grandson.
