Book Review: A Worthy Legacy
A Worthy Legacy is an enjoyable and touching book for those who value the pursuit of life's perspective and exploring their own legacy purpose. It's the story of a granddaughter receiving the gift of life secrets from her grandfather. With final words to family, he places the keystone on his life by sharing thoughts he hopes will echo long after he's gone. You'll find the book an engaging read with a penetrating peek at a vast number of life insights.
Written by Tomi Akinyanmi, she magically interweaves the personal experiences of her father and uncle to capture their legacy spirit in a series of life lessons from a dying Grandpa in Nigeria.
At once, you’ll find yourself zipping through the story while re-treading several passages to pause in reflection, to better distill their deeper meanings.
Days later, I enjoyed grabbing this book and flipping to a random page to gain even a further discovery of the key insights. It’s a wonderful reminder that the power of words, when passed as a gift from one generation to the next, can surely create a meaningful and lasting legacy.
Or in Grandpa's words:
"I have little property to bequeath, and it's neither silver nor gold. I have no diamonds to leave as inheritances to you. What I have to give are words, and they are more precious than any other thing I could give you."
For anyone who’s lost their way, or simply savors the chance to be reminded of the blessings and purpose of this life, A Worthy Legacy is highly recommended.
Though Tomi is a first time book author, she's an award-winning poet with over 20 years of enthusiastic writing experience. I've had the good fortune to receive a signed book from Tomi Akinyanmi with the words:
 |
"Rob, Live well, attain your dreams, and leave a legacy.
Tomi Akinyanmi" |
A Worthy Legacy is surely that. Though Tomi has captured the wisdom imparted upon her by family members close to her...she certainly has passed on a piece of her own legacy by passing forward many life secrets in her own unique style and voice.
A touching book that conveys the power of words towards legacy-building. Click the book to pick up a copy for yourself today...
