It's Inside of You

It's Inside of You, the first book in Gloria Mbokota's Embracing Destiny Trilogy, is a journey toward self-discovery. Traveling with the author-on roads that can be bumpy or smooth-the reader shares in Mbokota's difficult childhood-without parents, modest means, living under apartheid-and ultimately exalts in Mbokota's triumphs. Not only is it a wonderful story about learning to embrace one's destiny, It's Inside of You also serves as a tutorial for the reader-guiding each and every person toward determining key factors that shape their lives. Mbokota employs a simple, non-confrontational style, asking the reader to complete a number of brief questionnaires-asking about events that influenced you, about strategies that were tried, about how you responded to negative changes and how you've made a difference in the lives of others. The journey is a joyful one, leaving readers with a sense of understanding and wonderment-and looking forward to more of the same in the two books to come.
