"Dr.
Peter Hammond's new book Biblical Principles
for Africa has been needed for a long time.
This book is full of spiritual and civic education
of the world, awareness against sin, the world and
the devil; not only that, the development of the whole
human being in mind, body and spirit. To fight against
three enemies - disease, poverty and ignorance which
has affected the war-torn South Sudan, Nuba Mountains
and Blue Nile regions of Sudan. This book has touched
the human life politically, socially, economically
and religiously. Biblical Principles for Africa
well summarises the key points, and is full of material
for capacity building; with historical background
and Biblical foundations. I appeal to Dr. Hammond
to write more books by the help of the Holy Spirit.
Biblical Principles for Africa is highly recommended."
Bishop Bullen Dolli, Lui Diocese, Episcopal Church
of Sudan
"Not
everyone will agree with Peter Hammond's stance on
all things. However, Biblical Principles for
Africa is a challenge to the current acceptance
of a value system that is foreign to the Bible. Peter's
rapid-fire approach to a vast range of issues should
at least provoke thought and discussion amongst those
who read his very useful little book."
Bishop Frank Retief, Presiding Bishop, Church of
England in South Africa
"I
am very impressed with Biblical Principles for
Africa. I feel that this small book cannot be
only for Africa but the world at large. It will help
both the African Christian Leaders as well as world
Christian Leaders. It will also be useful for the
community leaders as well as family heads to enable
them promote our moral and ethical values. I therefore,
highly recommend it to be widely used by Christian
leaders, parliamentarians, community leaders and heads
of families. May God bless it to be fruitful, to influence
and change the lives of leaders in our society."
Rev. Canon Kenneth Baringwa, Mundri Diocese, Episcopal
Church of Sudan.
"This
comprehensive yet concise book, Biblical Principles
for Africa, by Dr Peter Hammond is a wonderful
handbook which highlights the values which flow from
the Biblical truths that should govern our society
and our behaviour. It provides a basis for a successful
God centred society as opposed to a failing secular
humanist people centred society. This book is a blessing
and should be studied by everyone seeking real peace
and progress in our land. It is a proven road-map
for success in South Africa and Africa."
Hon. KDS Durr - MP, Past
Ambassador and High Commissioner for South Africa
to the Court of St. James, London
"Whether
Christian readers agree or disagree with the line
taken in every section of Biblical Principles
for Africa, they will find the volume educational,
controversial and creatively proactive. If it helps
any to apply their Christian faith more deeply to
Africa's compelling issues at this time, I am sure
the author will feel well rewarded."
Michael Cassidy, President of Africa Enterprise
"Biblical
Principles for Africa is a precious and graphic
summary of what all nations need to do, to escape
the destructiveness of humanism. Thank you very much
for sending this treasure to me. This book must get
into the hands of our leaders, civil authorities,
Church leaders, NGOs; my president and his cabinet
members must have copies of Biblical Principles
for Africa. The parliamentarians, Governors,
local government chairmen. Fathers and mothers must
have their copies of Biblical Principles For
Africa. This book should be reprinted here
in Nigeria. Watch-out, this little book is going to
bring sanity to many nations."
Rev. Timothy Humphrey, Intensive Evangelism Network,
Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
"Biblical
Principles for Africa is an excellent handbook
that will challenge us all and become a valuable tool
in our Christian witness in a heathen secular world.
Much of my lifelong preaching has majored on Christ
and His guidelines and rules for a God-pleasing and
God-ordained life for the lost world - all themes
which Biblical Principles for Africa explores.
I am sure it will have an impact in our nation. Biblical
Principles for Africa has such a clear ring
of truth, commendation of God's Holy Will and Purpose,
that I wish it will have a tremendous impact upon
the people of South Africa. As many more people get
disillusioned with unworkable und unholy Government
policies and projects, my prayer is that many will
turn to the Scriptures which you have so ably expounded."
Rev. Fritz Haus, Stellenbosch, South Africa
"Dr
Peter Hammond must be congratulated by all Christians
who believe in Biblical truth for writing this masterpiece
Biblical Principles for Africa. His
bold and direct approach in confronting serious issues
facing the nations is admirable. Above all his commitment
to Scripture and belief in Biblical solutions for
all problems in this age of compromise is refreshing
and encouraging. The major problem facing our nation
today is crime. Our humanist government is failing
to stop this scourge of crime because they do not
know why people commit crime so readily. We all know
that you cannot offer a solution for a problem you
have not identified. Dr Peter Hammond has accurately
identified the causes of crime and has consequently
offered Biblical solutions for those problems.If government
does not heed his words of advise and wisdom based
on God's Word, then they will never eradicate crime
from our streets and homes.
"South
Africans will have to prepare themselves to either
live with crime with the present government in power
for the rest of their lives or to vote into office
a new government that will heed the wisdom of God's
Word and fearlessly apply Biblical principles to contemporary
problems.
"I
highly recommend Dr Hammond's book Biblical
Principles for Africa to all Christians who
want to inform themselves about what the Bible says
regarding the problems facing us as a nation. But
for those Christians who want to be part of the solution
this book is a must read as it will equip them in
how to apply Biblical solutions to contemporary problems."
Rev. Dr. Kenneth Meshoe, MP, Presisdent of the
African Christian Democratic Party.
"If
you want to read one Christian book that will stop
you thinking like the world, get you thinking Biblically,
by someone who is active practicing what he preaches
then read this one. You need Biblical Prinicples
for Africa to help you understand the world we
live in."
Douglas Shaw Economist and CEO: Global Intellegence
Fund Management
"The
question is often asked: why is Africa so beset by
such enormous problems and tragedies? War, poverty,
disease and now the killer which threatens to wipe
out millions of Africans, HIV/AIDS. What are the reasons
for our continent topping lists of needy countries
for handouts by other successful nations? Why shouldn’t
Africa itself be a provider for other developing nations
in Asia and South America?
"The
prosperity of every nation depends on how it responds
to Biblical principles. Poverty and misery are guaranteed
when God’s Word is deliberately neglected. In
the same way blessings and prosperity are assured
for all peoples who take God’s commands seriously.
"This is plainly declared in Deuteronomy 28.
In this eternally valid promise God vows that He will
set that nation 'high above all the nations of the
earth' if they 'diligently observe all His commandments'.
The blessings in the next 13 verses will 'overtake'
the person and that nation which carefully observes
Biblical principles. The same Scripture passage also
promises all manner of awful consequences upon those
who do not obey God’s commandments. The evidence
of verses 14 to 68 can be observed every day.
"Biblical
Principles for Africa is a manual on the way
of blessing, for individuals, nations, Africa and
the world. The author, Dr Peter Hammond, is not writing
about theories that are of no earthly use. He has
worked for over twenty years in African nations, has
observed the cultures, problems and sins which destroy
millions of lives. The principles in this book are
based on the tried and proved principles of God’s
Word. I advise you to study this book for yourself,
promote it in your church, send it to family and friends,
and give copies to government officials in your area.
"If
people in Africa begin to practice the values found
in Biblical Principles for Africa then we can truly
pray ’Nkosi Sikelela iAfrica’."

of Kwasizabantu Mission)
