“Author and Centenarian, John Booko, Chronicles His Life and Experiences in His Book “Abundant Blessings from My 60 Years of Ministering”
Reverend John Booko is blessed with a long life. Throughout his life, he trod a path that glorifies God and educates people about God’s love. In this book, he chronicles his journey from being born in Chicago, to becoming a church and traveling minister.
“Abundant Blessings from My 60 Years of Ministering” also retells how Reverend Booko came to a realization that brought him closer to God. “If I live to be seventy, and suppose there is a heaven and hell, if I keep living the way I am living now, I will be in hell forever. But, if I accept the Lord and live a good life, and if there is no leaven or hell, I have not lost anything; I have just lived a good life. So, I concluded, ‘What is keeping me from accepting the Lord?’ I am throwing away eternity for this junk? No, I do not want to die and go to hell.” –he writes. From this realization, he accepted Christ and studied the Bible which made him realize how much grace he has received from Jesus. He then dedicated his life to God, and his extensive ministry began.
The book is an inspirational read abundant in spiritual and practical wisdom readers can learn and apply in their lives. Reverend Booko also shares his secrets to living an abundantly blessed and long life. By next year, Reverend Booko will become one of the few centenarians, and he credits God for the long and blissful life he has lived.
Relive a century of God’s faithfulness through the life of his servant. Get your copy.”
