A MATTER OF FAITH
***
He survived the Nigerian-Biafra war; but emotional scars remained, and he was simply living for the moment without regard to ultimate purpose, anxious to begin his new married life in the United States, studying computer science. He was on the fast track to success until the stock market crashed and layoffs forced him into dire circumstances in which he lost his life savings, his wife and kids, and everything hed worked for. It should be noted that the process of redefining his faith-based life is nicely wound into the general autobiography. Many details are provided about his life and its progression. This focus on Ndukwes course is a reminder that A Matter of Faith is about how the author reconnected with his overall purpose: of necessity, autobiographical depth is a part of exploring this journey. Readers who like autobiographical pieces that traverse personal, business, and religious growth alike will appreciate the focus of Ndukwes story, about reconnecting with God in a different way.
The Midwest Reviews
I am happy to rate this book 3 out of 4 stars. His testimony enriches my own faith, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book for men and women of all age groups. There is nothing graphic or disturbing enough for children not to read it, but it is suitable for teenagers and adults. Those involved in computer engineering and technology may benefit from the authors experiences.
OnlineBookClub Reviews
We open the memoir as Ndukwe is on a plane to the United States, only weeks away from starting the collegiate school year. Thanks to a little help from strangers and his own brilliant mind, Chuks excels in school and starts to impress every boss he comes in contact with. His excellence in engineering sends readers toward a place of success and positivity until the economic recession takes hold. While the twists and turns keep us guessing, perhaps the finest aspect of this book is the storyline of hope, resilience, and the faith that keeps the author afloat in his trying times. He encounters not only the issue of being laid off multiple times, but he has to traverse through a troublesome marriage and a scam that threatens to steal all of his hard-earned money. But despite these extreme hardships, he continues to keep fighting. I couldnt help but root for Chuks as a reader, clinging to the page and hoping that the good he shares with the world will come back around to him.
Overall, A Matter of Faith is an enjoyable read that many could benefit from reading. Chuks is a genuinely likeable person to follow around. If youre in the mood for an inspiring story of overcoming hardships and dont mind the editorial issues, this could prove to be a truly worthwhile read for you.

To those who survived adversities without selling their soul.

As we take the journey of life, the task is not to worry about the twists and turns and its direction nor dwell on how it will end. But to remain true to who we are and firm in our beliefs. For inside us is incredible interiority complex. [Irresistible inner-power, that guides the journey; conscience, the judge between right and wrong; non-carnal senses that see past the bright light of the day and the darkness of night to preview events that lie ahead, and the inner-voice that counsels us]. These four elements of life function in a contingent symbiosis to move the journey along the guardrails of a natural order. A day will come when our work on earth is compared with our reason for being. Ultimately, it is if and only if our work on earth matches our reason for being could we honestly say, yes, this is my destiny.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
~ Albert Einstein

I had survived the Nigerian-Biafra war; tried my best to deal with the physical wounds. But the emotional scars? That seemed a little too much. Regardless, the will to live and hope for better tomorrow kept pushing us aheadeverybodyboys and girls, men and women, the young and the old. My dad had talked about the journeythe apt metaphor for life, but I did not think about it the same way. I did not know anybody who did. Instead, I was simply living in the momentone day at a time while all the unknownfuture milestones lay yet ahead. I was twenty-two at the time, six years out of technical college, a high school teacher, married four days before, and anxious to start a new life in the United States and study computer science.
I had not seen the airport before that moment when I arrived at the Lagos International Airport with my newlywed and Uncle Anyele Ochu. I recall watching planes descend to a landing and others ascend into the sky, and thought Wow! I will be inside that flying object soon.
Suddenly, the helter-skelter movement of people around the terminal reminded me of the many chaotic moments when people moved, in the same way, to escape the bomb blast during the war.
The terminal was filled with passengers and people who came to see them off. After checking in my luggage, my wife and I walked around the terminal, checking the arrival and departure monitors. Then we sat at the boarding gate and chatted until the sound system announced my boarding, and then I hugged her at the departure gate and proceeded to board the plane.
Now seated inside the magnificent KLM 747, I remembered the effect of the war againvillages demolished, lives destroyed, families ripped apart, a nation in turmoil, and my dad. Then I sought comfort in the belief that Id return soon to join his second wife and my older brother, Dick to take care of him. Suddenly, a gentleman took his seat beside me. We introduced ourselves; his name was Dr. Ekpo Ekong. He asked if I was traveling for the first time, and then he asked if anybody was waiting for me on my arrival in the United States. I was not sure, so I gave him my college admission letter. After reading the letter, he assured me that he would take care of me until I started school.
