About the Book

Life is filled with contrasting moments. Unfortunate things can happen to you at any point. Perhaps you plan to wed and your fiancé suddenly calls off the wedding. You could be killed in a car accident; a loved one could die of disease. Or, worse still, you could enter a shopping mall and a disturbed individual could take his or her anger out on the world by going on a shooting rampage at the store where you shop. How do you react to such adversity? With what attitude do you approach such adversity?

Perhaps you spend time seeking revenge or remaining bitter about what happened to you. Or, perhaps you are consumed by anger to the extent that your only concern is how others can feel the wrath. While these are ways of responding to adversity, this book cleverly dissuades this kind of approach. It destroys your present and hinders your future. The goal of this book is to help you realize this before precious time is wasted and invite you to learn how to let go of the past in order to invite a more prosperous future.


About the Author

Killian W. Muli, is native to Kenya. He is the published author of: LEARNING FROM THE PAST: A Gateway to a Better Future, (AuthorHouse, Bloomington, Indiana, 2007) and several articles. He  is also the author of unpublished works: Family Planning: A Moral Evaluation of Contraception, Wisdom Beyond Boundaries: A Close Look at Some Major African Proverbs, Particularly the Akamba People of Kenya  and The Impact of Colonization and Evangelization on the African Way of Life.

Prior to his arrival in Wyoming, USA, he studied and /or served in many countries including, Kenya, Mozambique, Italy, Belgium and Ivory Coast. He holds two undergraduate degrees: Philosophy and Theology from Pontifical Urbanian University, Rome and from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy respectively. Wambua also holds a Masters degree in Moral Theology from the Alfonsian Academy, a Graduate Institute of Moral Theology of the Pontifical Lateran University, in Rome, Italy. Wambua speaks fluent Kiswahili, English, Portuguese, Italian, French and Spanish, in addition to other African languages.

Wambua’s incredible journey that has taken him to diverse parts of the world has led him to understand that pain is universal and nobody is spared of adversities. However, it is not pain or the adversities that befall us that destroys us; it is rather our reaction and the attitude with which we approach  pain and adversities that destroy us. Our choices shape the life we envision to live. This is a sentiment that people from all walks-of-life can appreciate.
