New book for Rev Phaswana

Read: 6327

The second publication from Rev (Dr) Ntavhanyeni Sampie Phaswana has inarguably set his star in the literary sky where he continues to shine as a beacon of hope for those sinking into debt and poverty. He also remains a beacon of hope for people who want to continue to beautify and stabilise their financial standing.

His recently published book, License to Print Money, will be launched on 28 February at Kennington Lodge.

Unlike his previous publication, Tsha-Fumi – Is tithing a Christian Doctrine?, which read like a scholarly thesis modified and converted into a book, License to Print Money carries universal messages of getting one out of the debt bondage, ensuring financial security, financial management and time management.

License to Print Money is not one of the many how-to-get-rich books which come out every year. It tackles the subject matter from a fresh angle and contains easy-to-follow, realistic directions and motivation.

Another aspect to note, which also deserves praise, is the economy of words in the text – the writer writes in simple, straightforward language and says only what needs to be said, without wasting words or bombarding the reader with useless, verbose paragraphs.

He believes that his writing will help eradicate the ignorance which preventss people from achieving and realising their dreams.

“The principal reason for the decline and fall of people is ignorance,” he remarks. "Knowledge is one of the wondrous gifts of God. It is incumbent upon everyone to acquire it. The primary, the most urgent requirement, is the promotion of education. It is inconceivable that any nation can achieve prosperity and success unless this paramount, this fundamental concern (education) is carried forward.”

Dr Phaswana holds the view that an acquired education will always be useful in different areas of one's personal and social life, so he encourages people to read books which shape one's character.

"In these times of rapid change and extensive social networks, good ideas are the commodity of success,” he says. “All it takes is one idea from the right book to reshape one's character or to transform your relationships or to revolutionise your life.”

He states that the youth must know that the person they will be five years from now will come down to two primary influences, which are (1) the people they associate with and (2) the books they read. "When you read good books, your thinking expands and you rise to a whole new level of wisdom,” he adds.

A short interview with Dr Phaswana leaves one with a desire to listen to him talk some more.
