I have always heard of heaven. I was told God lives there with his angels. I also believe these assertions. I have also had several supernatural encounters that confirms this. When I saw the title (Secrets of Heaven) of this book, I was immediately attracted to it. I wanted to see if it could answer some questions I have about the way events on earth are controlled by heaven.

Secrets of Heaven by Dijeng Ennie Mphake is a revelation the author had on several issues in the Christian religion. It is a revelational analysis of the African history in relation to the coming of colonisation by the Westerners. The book exposed lots of unfair things done to the blacks. The author tried to open the reader's mind to God's position on these issues. Several scriptural verses from the bible were quoted to further the author's claims. One of such issues in the book was the need to exchange skills for natural resources. Why this is a better option is left for the reader to decide. This discussion approach extends to other topics explained in the book.

While I read this encouraging compilation of revelations, I saw a lot of things that appeared to be a bit correct, but still needed some adjustments. For example, the idea that every good person that is out there to save others is a 'Jesus' was correct. The idea that Nelson Mandela was the son of God that the bible says died and rose again, was very incorrect in all aspects. I'm not just speaking from a religious point of view. This was what I disliked most in the story. My reason is that God could not have been referring to a prison as a grave because they were both dark places. This was what the author said. If God wanted to say Jesus came out from a prison, he would have said it that way. He wouldn't have said Jesus was raised from the grave, when what he wanted to say was that Nelson Mandela came out from prison. Also, in some scriptural quotations the author cited in the book, she took the words of those scriptural verses as they were. She didn't try to infer any other meaning in them. Why did she have to do so when it came to Jesus's death and resurrection?

I'm appreciative of certain things in this book. I liked the author's suggestion that skills should be exchanged for natural resources. This was what I enjoyed most in the story. My reason is that it would be a more rewarding form of exchange. Paper money gives temporal satisfaction. Skills give durable solutions to the country exchanging her natural resources.

The author dwelt on several issues in the Christian religion. This made the book a comprehensive religious read that had multiple fascinating interests. This attribute made me continue reading the book from start to finish. I wanted to know what the author had to say about the next topic. The author's language was simple but a bit hard to follow a times. You could feel the passion in the writer. She seemed to have a lot to say, but couldn't say it in an understandable manner a times. The account of the false prophets in page 13 of the book is an example of this. The author's idea of revealing secrets that were not yet known to the world was commendable. I suggest a continuation series on these revelations in future. I also believe it would have a better compilation then.

I recommend this book to all African countries and foreign countries. I also recommend it to Christains and Churches all over the world. This is because each of these people were talked about in the book. This book would appeal least to Non-Christians. It would also appeal least to countries that colonise African countries. I say this because they (countries that colonise African countries), may not like the way they were portrayed in this book. Anyone who feels the whites are superior to the blacks would certainly not want to read this book.

In conclusion, I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars. I did not give it a 4 because it had more than 10 grammatical errors. For example, "Asking why did we fasted."(page 47). It did not look like it was professionally edited at all. I also did not give it a 3 because the author's explanations were very hard to follow a times. A book like this one should be able to communicate its arguments in a way that the reader would end up seeing things from the author's point of view. It didn't do that to me. I was not convinced. I thought of giving it a 1 because the author seemed to make some of her analysis from a biased point of view, but I didn't do so because I wanted to give room to the supernatural. I believe God says things that don't make sense to the human mind. There is more to God than what we've been told in the Bible. This was why I settled for a 2.

Sounds like an original take on the whole explaining-religion-thing, but I think the errors would be too distracting.
Thanks for the review!

I'm not sure I agree with the author's view of "Christianity". For that reason, I probably won't read the book. I think the Bible is the starting and ending point for all "revelations", and I'm not sure this jives with that. I'm glad that you were able to find a few things of interest in it, though. Thanks.

This sounds like it would have been a good book to be read by Christians if it didn't have so many grammatical errors and was written more clearly. I think I will pass on it, however, because of those flaws. Thanks for the review!

This sounds like an original take on the genre, but it may need more editing before I can try it.

It was poorly edited, but it also had all the passion a book of this nature should have. Blessings dear!

Personal revelations are hard to swallow as there is no way to confirm them other than the person's own version of what they heard or seen. I appreciate your review of this book, but the author's assertions are too far-fetched. Some, as you point out, are totally anti-Biblical (Mandela's resurrection?). Thanks for your insightful review.
