Timeous and practical report of what the problems in SA Agriculture are. I hope government officials nd politicians will also read and interpret this book. We need some active debate on this topic and not leave it there. Are you planning any book discussions at your stores?
Four Year old children have no concept of lying - this is a four year old child's account of visiting Heaven, what he saw and experienced there. Everyone should read this book and be motivated to lead better lives. If they did, there would probably be a lot less crime, fewer wars and a lot less killing in the world. This is a must read.
The style is very simple, the author has deliberately made the book easy to read and understand .
