Self-discovery and self-expression are essential if you desire to grow in spiritual awareness. The emphasis in this book is the spiritual dimension of personal development. Personal development (often called self-improvement) is a popular subject these days. You can spend thousands of dollars attending courses and seminars; read hundreds of books that have been published on this subject. Many of these books, seminars, and courses can be quite helpful, and provide effective ideas and concepts that will be useful to you. Yet, there is usually something missing the spiritual aspect. We spiritualize the concept of self-development or self-expression, and raise it to a higher level. Ask yourself, "Am I using my unique God-given talents? Am I focusing my physical, mental, and spiritual energies in the right direction? Am I excited about life? Am I becoming that which I most sincerely desire to be? Do I know where I am going? Is there a plan? Am I genuinely being true to myself? If not, why not?" Assess every area of your life so that you will know exactly where you stand in relation to your goals. Each theme will have his or hers viewpoint the masculine and feminine!

Jabulani Means Rejoice is a dictionary comprised of hundreds of African names in local South African languages, meticulously assembled and expounded upon for the curious reader. Names are listed in alphabetical order with gender indications, as well as information regarding their ethnographic origins and meanings. Yet, Jabulani Means Rejoice is so much more than simply a list of names and their meanings. The author skilfully interweaves cultural context and history, including issues surrounding naming rituals, domestic disputes and the curse of the evil eye. As a reference work, the book stands as an invaluable contribution to the growing interest in African cultural history. With its names ranging from the traditional to the unconventional, it will appeal to linguists, family historians and anyone with an interest in names.

A Dictionary of Popular Bali Names is an exceptional minefield of Chamba names, meticulously assembled and expatiated for the curious user. As a pioneer in the field of dictionary-writing in the Cameroon grassfields, Fokwangís third edition counts for more than a regular dictionary. It skilfully combines a short history of the Chamba people in Cameroon as well as ethnographic issues on the naming ritual. John Fokwangís work stands in a class of its own and will serve as reference material for people of Chamba descent and those who favour the use of African names in general. This edition is an exceptionally worthy contribution to the ethnography of the Cameroon grassfields and of course, the growing literature and interest on African names and languages.

"The giving of names is of great importance in Africa. People are named after events, happenings, great things, the days of the week, or the order in which they were born. For example, if a couple had long wanted a son, in Nigeria they may call him "Ayinde" (Yoruba), meaning the one we prayed for. In Ghana, if a boy is born on Saturday he is called "Kwame" (Akan). In Tanzania, the second born of twins will be called "Doto" (Zaramo). People have asked me whether names like James, Gary, or Francis could be translated into African form. There is no direct translation from English names to African, but if we go back to the original meaning of an English name, we can often find an African equivalent. For example, the English Theodore and the Ibo "Okechuku" both mean "God's gift."--From preface.

Knowing one's origin coupled with an appropriate name gives one a sense of great pride and belonging. In the United States in particular most people with African ancestry have started moving away from the traditional English names which is a clear sign that there is a yearning to associate with mother Africa. The beginning of this major shift came with the acceptance of Islam and the push for equality among the races. The names carefully chosen for this book have both reason and meaning which makes them more appropriate and precise; heredity can therefore easily be traced back a few generations through the names included in this book. The question what is in a name has been given broader and more appropriate meaning. The choice for those who are keen to give their offspring African names with meaning has been made wider and easier.
