The Big Why
Earlier today I had the privilege to be part of a Q&A session relating to my new book, Finding My Lost Voice. I was asked a bunch of insightful questions. Questions, when answered, reflect a grasp and understanding of the big ‘Why?’ of the book?
The first is, how have people responded to it? To be transparent, I am not surprised by the responses I have received.
In the Preface I allude to possible Read more of this blog post »

FINDING MY LOST VOICE: By Acting Justly, Loving Kindness and Walking Humbly with God:
"What stood out to me most was the idea that having a voice does not have to mean shouting louder than everyone else. Basil Sparks approaches some difficult and often divisive subjects while returning to the same principles of justice, kindness, and h"

“Most ordinary people ... want to do their jobs, love their people, and live in peace with others. Add kindness to the mix and you have a picture of beauty. I may be different to you, believe differently from what you do, speak a different language to your home language, or have a different bank balance to yours, but when I act kindly toward you, I am bridging a divide between your world and mine.”

“Power is a dangerous drug, a thirst that is never quenched. It promises but it takes more than it gives. Friends are divided by it, wars are fought over it, churches split because of it, and Satan will tempt you to sell your soul for it.”

“Kindness steps over racial prejudice to see the human being on the other side of colour. Kindness identifies, in each of us, the need to be loved, respected, and validated. And when an act of kindness does that, it no longer matters that I am White, and you are Black. Kindness steps across all hostility; racial, religious, language, etc. It is a powerful weapon that changes communities, one kind act at a time.”

Hello Basil,I hope this message finds you in good spirits.
This is Jimi.
I’ve finally had the chance to read your book, "A Traveller's Guide to Leadership," and I’ve posted a review on both Goodreads and Amazon.
It’s incredibly revealing, thought-provoking, and Christ-centred.
Moreover, it’s very relatable.
Thank you,
Jimi
