A spiritual book journal to guide the youth’s lives

- IRENE SHONE BG CORRESPOND­ENT

For the prospectiv­e pastor, Tshepo Lisa Gabaikitse, consistenc­y is essential in life, hence her newly written journal to be distribute­d on a larger scale soon.

Her debut book journal is entitled; ’ Redemption Journal’, meant to encourage the youth to be proactive in life. Gabaikitse describes this brand new read as an interactiv­e journal with different activities. She deliberate­ly put out the activities sections, to all people to read and reflect on their daily life choices. She is of the view that people struggle with keeping their lives together, especially in this era where there are so many life challenges.“

Asked what inspired her to write this journal, she tells BG Style that everyone’s spiritual wellbeing needs to be nurtured, and that is why her book is in spiritual context. “I have observed the lack of consistenc­y in my own spiritual & personal life, and thought that as I am practicing to become a pastor, then I can already start ministerin­g to the people through a book,” she says explaining that, young women in particular find themselves going through a lot, as they reach the self- discovery stage. “It is important for people to know their purpose in life. Some people find it difficult to open up and discuss issues with others, so this journal tries to kill that stereotype and encourage people to be prayerful and resolve issues amicably.

“This journal is a step by step guide to help young women to keep up with their spiritual, personal and mental lives, it assists one to know who they are in Christ,” she says. Activities in this book journal include; self- discovery, how to pray, and other many activities to keep fit physically and mentally.

Gakebaitse has currently been doing reviews on this special writing, virtually to give people an insight of what to be expected in the book. She is positive with how people are responding, as they are curious about this journal.

She is also taking orders and anticipati­ng to launch the book in style soon, with a reasonable number of hard copies to engage her followers, with that traditiona­l book lovers, who believe in specifical­ly reading a book in hard copy form.
