      PREFACE TO THIS EDITION

      

      At a point in my life, I was a very zealous young Christian,

      constantly seeking knowledge that no pastor appeared willing or

      able to sufficiently give to me. My eagerness led me to Bible

      College, after which I was eventually by my church, put in charge

      of a fledgling community church. But this was not my life vision.

      Even though I loved to advise and encourage people, I was not cut

      out to be a church pastor, at least not yet. I was certain God

      required more of me; especially as no other part of my life was

      going on impressively. I resolved thereafter to focus more on the

      task of unraveling the purpose of human life and especially of my

      life, which was certainly not going enviably at all.

      I have in my life passed through scary medical situations

      and even more frightening financial situations from which

      anyone’s survival should defy rational human explanation. But I

      remember the amusing quip of a very scared pastor which says:

      “without passing through a mess, you cannot have a message “. I

      have passed through sufficient mess to preach thousands of

      messages and nearly completely convinced the purpose of my life

      may be an encourager. I have indeed seen nearly everything.

      THE HIGH-POWERED CHRISTIAN ENTREPRENEUR

      I wrote the first version of this book, I believe purely from

      divine interference. The version was compiled from personal notes

      and observations made from various challenges life had led me

      through. The book was published under a pseudonym; because I

      wasn’t sure I wanted anymore to be associated with religious

      writing. That done, I set the book aside, refused even to promote it

      and happily carried on with my other interests, the divine call

      being done with.

      I have formal qualifications in civil engineering, software

      technology and also journalism. The engineering degree I acquired

      at the age of twenty and set aside about fifteen years later because I

      thought it was no more sufficiently challenging. I needed

      something which interfaced more with the world around me rather

      than with a specialist niche. I needed an enjoyable occupation

      being convinced nobody was ever created to live an unhappy life. I

      believe every human being has a unique skill, something that

      nobody else can do in the same way as you can, and if you can find

      it, you have found the purpose of your existence and life will

      consequently become easier to live. My most enjoyable skill is

      creative-writing and I made certain it would be an important part

      of whatever I committed myself to, a decision I believe divinely

      placed after a circuitous life journey.

      After reading this book, I am sure you will want to ask if I

      eventually achieved the financial goal, I projected. No, I did not.

      This is because I started with a goal and ended with a vision that

      set the goal aside, for a while. The perks were equally rewarding –

      THE HIGH-POWERED CHRISTIAN ENTREPRENEUR

      I could more easily fund my several community-oriented projects,

      which include ongoing support to a local orphanage. I was also

      able to write more than thirty books over a space of only nine

      years,
