As we reflect on God’s Word – and particularly on the story of the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee in John’s gospel, which provides the framework of this book – we will find discerning answers to the plethora of challenges we face in South Africa. The author’s intention is to offer realistic hope and true purpose for those staying on in this country, or returning to it. This book has been written to engage both the experienced believer and the sceptical unbeliever. The author shares some stories from his own life and closes each chapter with reflections and insights gleaned from his daily walk with his dog. Although this book contains teaching elements, it is first and foremost a thought-provoking conversation with you, the reader – one South African to another.
