    About this ebook

    Crossroads tells the exhilarating story of a young mans spiritual journey from the vantage point of secular events that transpired in his life. Intellectually stimulating in content and autobiographical in format, this book promises to inspire the reader to strive for both an intimate relationship with God and excellence in secular pursuits.

    The author presents a concise but revealing narrative of his life with a pinch of self-deprecatinghumorbut devoid of forsaking the authenticity of biblical teaching. Crossroads is indeed a must-read for the young person, the mature, and the clueless.

      Praise for Crossroads

      Absolutely wonderful! Crossroads presents a personal testimony of success in the secular world fostered by the pursuit of spiritual purpose. It explains, by way of mundane experiences, some of the essential teachings of the Bible. It’s clear descriptions are just beautiful to behold; it’s simple but poignant teachings and analogies are enthralling, making each page a pleasure to peruse.

      The especially jovial style of the book gives you a bitter-sweet feeling, where the author’s jokes keep you laughing, and yet his more serious revelations about the Christian’s excellence make you want to cry for not doing more than you are capable of. Indeed, this is a cocktail of spirit and soul in book form. An amazing read and must-have. I dare you to put it down for five minutes.

      I found myself laughing one moment and then deeply moved and challenged the next. Jude does a great job at painting the picture of an everyday young man, and by the same token, he exemplifies the exuberance of a Spirit led life. This book is both refreshing and thought provoking.

      For those who feel the longing for more in life, I believe that this book will help to feed the eternal cravings that all humans have for identity, purpose and destiny. There is more to life, and Jude helps us through this journey to seek and find the God that created us and put eternity in our hearts.

      This book takes us on a remarkable journey that encapsulates the life-changing testimony of a man touched by God. Every stroke of ink brilliantly paints a vivid image of who God wants us to be, how to get there, and unequivocally addresses the detrimental, stereotypical schools of thought prevailing in our society.

      The clever blend of humor and severity makes Crossroads such a pleasure to read. Jude’s words are spiritually challenging, intellectually stimulating and yet heartwarming. This book is truly a revelation that is clear, concise and unbelievably striking.

      Crossroads is an exciting and life changing book—it is equally thought provoking and an amazing piece of work.

      Jude has used his personal life experiences to direct you to the source of all creation and to mankind’s dominion and authority over all things. He opens your eyes to the challenges that are common to the human race but in that same breath directs you to the way of overcoming the same.

      This book will help you to re-evaluate your current position and begin to search for the purpose for which you were created. I am confident, without a shadow of a doubt, that at the end of your reading you will know what to do to move to the next level (your place of authority and right standing) and attain your purpose in life.

      LADY GIFTY TETTEH

      Barrister, Chambers of G D Tetteh

      Foreword

      Crossroads—definition: a crucial point, a crisis situation or point in time when a critical decision must be made; A road that crosses another.

      Isaiah 30:21—Your ears will hear a word behind you, This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right or to the left.

      You are holding in your hands a book that recounts the captivating story of an incredible transformation and the evidence of the manifold Grace of God in a man who dared to follow the prompting of God to write.

      From the mandate to write that book to this finished product, Jude Addo has managed to put fresh paint on old and battered signposts often ignored in the pilgrimage of life’s journey.

      Jeremiah 6:16—Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

      With eye opening insights unusual in one who has only travelled the path in four short years, and his reflection upon the providence and steering hand of God, Jude has picked up the pen of the ready-writer, and successfully conveyed in easy to read style, weathered themes often overlooked in this fast paced, multi-choice, alternative lifestyle obsessed times, that refocuses and centers on a tried, tested and proven roadmap to
