About the Author :
Sunday Bobai Agang has deep personal experience of the violence between Christians and Muslims that roils his homeland, Nigeria. He lost a beloved pastor and a close relative to it. His experience led him to focus his doctoral thesis at Fuller on the sources of such violence and the way Christians should respond to it. It has also led him to found Gawon Ministries to provide humanitarian and spiritual care for Christian and Muslim widows and orphans. He is currently the provost of a major seminary in Nigeria, where he trains future leaders for the church in Nigeria.

Review :
Sunday deals sensitively with feelings and experiences that he understands all too well, feelings of fear, mourning, frustration, and anger. In the end, however, he still summons us to follow the costly way of our Lord Jesus. He invites us to recount stories of hope, rather than stories that incite more violence. --Craig Keener Asbury Seminary, USA It is my pleasure to recommend this book most highly not only to individual Christians but also to churches and community groups. It will repay careful consideration and study, and by the grace of God, can become a powerful tool in the much needed transformation of society today. --The Most Rev Dr Benjamin A. Kwashi Anglican Archbishop of Jos, Nigeria
