Secrets of Favour

by Olufisayo Odubanjo

Secret of Favour is Olufisayo’s smooth, simplistic but very deep teaching of how we can live a more fulfilled life in God. Touching on the most basic faculties of human existence: self-knowledge, man’s relationships with his fellow man and his ultimate relationship with his creator through prayer, sacrifice, good deeds and patience, you will be thrilled by the author’s use of real life instances to buttress Biblical facts. How else can we compare life other than a solid structure and its attendant components which if ignored would lead to a disastrous end.
