"In his book, A Journey to Bong Mines , Murphy Anderson presents a detailed account of the atrocities of the Liberian Civil War, provides a story of courage and faith as well as a framework for reconciliation and healing. More importantly, Anderson carefully describes the God our ancestors taught us about, worshipped, and served. The story carefully demonstrates the attributes of love, justice, wisdom, and power. Those brave brothers affirmed that no matter what happens God is our source and strength. Their faith drives them to move beyond all idols and believe that God through Jesus Christ is their strength. This top-notch account of patience, optimism, and of free spirit taught me the real value of love, family, friendship, kindness, and honesty." --Mydea Reeves-Karpeh, first female president of the Union of Liberian Associations in the Americas, religious visionary, educator, activist, humanitarian, and foot soldier of Jesus Christ.
