"""'Sebastian, what do you want to become when you finish school?' When Bishop Sebastian was asked this question, little did he know that his life was to be lived in the likeness of our Lord, full of joy with suffering, full of vastly different experiences. This well-written memoir is a vital read, especially for those who are committed to serving our Lord and his people in spite of the many challenges of ministry, confident that the God who calls us will do it as 1 Thessalonians encourages us."" --Thabo Makgoba, Anglican archbishop of Cape Town ""This book is a beautiful narrative of a life of commitment. The author and his wife responded unrelentingly to a call to serve God's people with courage and commitment. It is an urgent call for a courageous, committed, and an equal society where all citizens are free and liberated from the bondage of the sin of corruption, selfishness, and injustice."" --Vimbai Nyemba, former chancellor of the Diocese of Harare ""This memoir is a testament to Bishop Sebastian's gifts and achievements as a friend, scholar, theological educator, and bishop who has given generous encouragement to others in a bid to help them achieve their potential and advance in discipleship."" --Christopher Chessun, Anglican bishop of Southwark"
