Life Lessons

This book is the product of my blog Life's Lessons. I am happy to share it with you. The reflections therein are not a product of an in-depth research into the problems of life. Neither are they an exhaustive treatise on the topics reflected upon. Great theologians and spiritual writers have dealt extensively and systematically on the problems of life. Having sat at their feet as a priest for twenty-five years, read, prayed, and reflected on the Holy Bible and had the opportunity to preach to the people of God during this period, I hereby offer my brief reflections on the lessons of life as I see it, gleaned from my experiences.

Augustine Etemma Inwang, MSP, was born on September 10, 1961, in Nigeria. He had early education in Nigeria. He was ordained a missionary priest on June 23, 1990. He worked for a year in Maiduguri Diocese from 1991 to 1992. He was sent on mission to the Gambia in September 1992, where he worked at St. Michael's Parish, Njongon; then as teacher at St. Augustine's High School, Banjul; and as parochial vicar at the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. From 1995 to 2001, he worked in the Communications Department of the Missionary Society of St. Paul as editor of the Ambassador magazine and director of Ambassador Publications. In 2001, he was sent on mission to the United States, where he was assigned as a parochial vicar to St. Francis Xavier Parish in East Baltimore in Maryland. In 2002 he was assigned to St. Veronica's Parish as pastor. In 2010 he was assigned to Transfiguration Catholic Community, where he is currently pastoring. Augustine Inwang, MSP, has a master's degree in counseling and offers counseling services to hurting members of his parish and others who need his services. His motto is “I may love as I am loved.”
