ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Dr. Kennard Ramphal, or "Dr. Ken" as many of us affectionately know him, is a master of both the written and spoken word. His love of God and his fellow man are skillfully woven into short meditative reflections on the universal truths of the human experience. He has the unique ability to convey an august sense of life experience with a down-to-earth pragmatism few can match but all can relate to.

“These treatises are motivational and instructional—they give the reader reassurance in tackling life’s obstacles that test our strength, patience and resilience.”
Frank Mohan MD, FCFP (LM)
Author: Love Has Two Moons And Other Stories

“Ramphal distills the wisdom of simple truths where we can live productive and fulfilling lives. Illustrated with real-life experiences and examples from popular philosophical writings, yet written in a simple, compelling style, these fifty-two devotions are insightful and reflective— leading us to question who we are, and what kind of world we strive to establish. This book will be of value to anyone seeking tiny gems of wisdom.”
