YOUNG FS WRITER PUBLISHES STIRRING SPIRITUAL BOOK

Teboho Masakala is fast making a name for himself as one of the most prolific, fecund young writers in the country. The 24-year-old from Thaba Nchu has published his fourth book titled “Shout to The Lord, The Spiritual Corner”. This book of course has spiritual overtones and it’s aimed to win souls for Christ. The book’s purpose is also to motivate and uplift souls. Masakala has also published three other books over the past three years; namely, Mind, pen, paper and ideas (2010), Through it all (2011) and The fall of Marcus Desmond which was published last year. According to Masakala, he has been in love with writing from his primary school days in Thaba Nchu at Selosesha primary school; and also while in high school at Goronyane High School (also in Thaba Nchu). Speaking to Free State News, Masakala vouchsafed that he got inspired to write a spiritual book by God Almighty. “The bible tells us to go out there and spread the word of God and I wanted to do my part also”, said Masakala. He added: “The book is an encouraging, motivating and soul uplifting one, and it has messages for young and old people. The book has titles such as a True friend is Jesus, which tells readers why is it is important for us to make Jesus our friend and the benefits of making Jesus our friend”. The book is now available at Kopano Christian Bookshop at Sanlam Plaza in Bloemfontein. Masakala states that he got inspired by many writers who influenced him in writing books. Writers like Omoseye Bolaji, Nic Vuvujic, TD Jakes, Tshepiso Mothata, Bongiwe Kankalane and Prophet TB Joshua inspired Masakala who believes their zeal for God’s work is great. “With this book, I want God to touch people’s lives, uplift them and make them know that God is alive" said Masakala. Pundits are already insisting that the book is spiritually reviving, motivating and a must have as it inspires.

Job well done to your new project The Son of Soil. I do believe many will buy your book and be inspired. I remember Malome Bolaji told you never get tired to write more and more books that's why his name appears as on of your instigators, which is wonderful. TM THIBA.

It's reassuring to see a young Black man fulfilling his potential as a writer in such rapid fashion. Checking Masakala's profile on internet shows the tremendous progress he has made as a true creative writer since critics praised him even before his first book was out!; job well done
