Not only does this book contain critical information not found anywhere else but it is written in a style true to the artist himself and the Yoruba oral tradition. If you are a carver you will find valuable information that relates to the process traditionally trained Yoruba carvers use to do their work as well as technical information about wood and tools. It is also valuable for the scholar intersted in the social status of the artist in Yorubaland before Europeans and how this particular artis has come into his own since colonialism and independence. But most importantly it was written by the artist himslef and is true to his personality. This type of document is rarely written by a person of Lamidi Fakeye's experience and status in Yoruba carving. This book reflects on the past while being rooted in the present situation of a Nigerian artist today.

This book was really good! The back says: " Rev. Adam Bridger and his wife Dr. Rachel Tremaine, are once again at the center of an adventure not of their own making. And joining them are four total strangers who, along with Rachel, have seen visions that most mortals can only imagine. They have been called on a mission that will forever change the world-if they can survive.

This fascinating novel explores how God might attempt to draw the attention of a busy, self-absorbed, secular world in these "last days before the last days.""

I encourage you to GET THIS BOOK! Or at least read it because it`s a really incredible book.
