This is the story of a journey that begins with a jolt--the bumpy, sometimes lonely, existence despite being surrounded by many. The story tells of faith searching reason, diving headfirst into independence, along with the learning curve in making life-and-death decisions. It tells about a gypsy with a Peter Pan heart living the hippie era, the mental trials and tribulations of relationships, life in the fast lanes of rock and roll. It tells about the worm towing the ship of fame and fortune from Alaska, crossing paths, tempting fate, and hearing the voices of ancient reason. This is a story of coming to terms with reality and packing up the rose-colored lenses of lost dreams and hopes. It is the turning of pages as life unravels its truth. It is about contemplating life's purpose and the existence of a creator, reasoning for the weary sorrows in the world through indefatigable searching leading to understanding.

In this lifetime story titled Been There, Done That, Rachi Ngaine recounts and narrates personal experience of survival, coping with challenges of growing up in a traditional learning environment from early childhood in his native Kenyan village. It amplifies the appetite and personal struggles for education/knowledge through public schools, college/university, choosing a career path, and taking grueling handwritten academic/professional exams toward jobs that led to self-actualization/self-esteem and a formal retirement at age seventy-five. The book is an affirmation of a typical family's basic value system, endurance, and human dignity. The story impresses upon a family legacy, focus, and values that; the roots of a family tree go way deep, and its branches enlarge; the relationships must be infinite unless curtailed by natural causes; the physical or economic ranking of a family member must have no consequence upon the phenomenon of belonging, identity, originality, nationality, and material support, and a family resemble God's universal family whereby the brethren have equal rights of inheritance. Moreover, the book inspires the reader to be a character builder, compassionate, a goal setter, courageous, hopeful, innovative, a leader, a mentor/role model, responsible, sensitive, a servant, strong, and trustworthy; and have empathy, foresight, humor, and organizational skills. Also, Rachi's life-changing facts of life in the United States for almost fifty years are intriguing to aspiring future immigrants into the twenty-first-century "superpower" base. The book is engaging, arouses personal traits, self-determination, triggers motivation, and assures worthiness. The "Humorous Notes" in the last pages of the book are likely to crank up the readers and even wet their eyes. Finally, the readers would be exposed to the fact that whenever there is will, "there is a way." Ideally, God's grace has enabled the anointed the blessings of spiritual gifts of love, joy, peace, perseverance, and self-control. The elect are promised success in whatever they undertake-in the name of Jesus. Indeed, the faithful in Christ would be moved and enticed to keep on and finish the race and win the crown of salvation. Rachi is on it! Please join in.

At the age of 14, author David Bristow stuck a large touring map of South Africa on his bedroom wall, determined to mark off every road one day. It was the start of a life-long love affair with the land – indeed, in 40 years of dedicated travelling David has pretty much ‘been there, done that’, visiting almost all of South Africa’s game parks, nature reserves, mountain ranges, beaches, towns and dorps, as well as hiking and biking countless trails. This book is the accumulated knowledge of all that exploration: the very best (and sometimes the worst) of everything this country has to offer: wildlife, history, geography, art and culture, things to do, places to stay and routes and trails to be discovered by car, bike and on foot ... Anyone who’s ticked off more than a tenth of the entries in this book is, according to the author, qualified to wear the T-shirt. David Bristow began his writing career as a news journalist before reading for a Master’s Degree in Environmental Sciences. Although he claims to prefer riding his mountain bike, surfing and playing with his children to working, he has written around a dozen books for Random House Struik alone and spent 13 years as the editor of Getaway travel magazine.

The purpose of this book is to relate lessons we can all learn through our experiences in suffering and through blessings we are given in Gods school of character molding. It is important to realize that life and living on this earth are only a training ground for God to mold us for our eternal home in heaven. Please remember to keep in mind as you read of my experiences in life that I give God all glory and praise for His patience and love. My mistakes and heartaches recorded here are to remind the reader that we all have a story to tell. It is wise to reflect back on memories and to give thanks for answered prayers and Gods grace for our present, past, and future.

'I Had a Black Dog says with wit, insight, economy and complete understanding what other books take 300 pages to say. Brilliant and indispensable.' - Stephen Fry 'Finally, a book about depression that isn't a prescriptive self-help manual. Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.' Sunday Times There are many different breeds of Black Dog affecting millions of people from all walks of life. The Black Dog is an equal opportunity mongrel. It was Winston Churchill who popularized the phrase Black Dog to describe the bouts of depression he experienced for much of his life. Matthew Johnstone, a sufferer himself, has written and illustrated this moving and uplifting insight into what it is like to have a Black Dog as a companion and how he learned to tame it and bring it to heel.
