Share This Review
Bluewater Walkabout Into Africa is a practical guide to your spiritual journey by Tina Dreffin is a non-fiction book that describes various phases of a spiritual journey. Starting with a journey onto Africa, the author describes how travelling soothes the soul, the experiences we get during such periods, what a spiritual journey travelling encompasses and how broken hearts could recover in the process. Moreover, Walkabout entails a journey of rediscovery. Derived from the aboriginal traditions in Australia, walkabout is a journey where a man breaks from the daily grind and walks into solitude across desert and bush country on a spiritual quest. The author says she had a spiritual power; all that she needed was a journey to ventilate her from her traumatic experiences. Tina finds a lot of happiness from the adventures. It is as a result of those adventures that she is the story teller she is today. She shares her experiences to help lift people towards living with freedom.
Written in a simple language, this novel included a lot of information for those seeking to learn more about spirituality. The author narrates her story from the first person perspective hence brings the reality of her experiences. The author’s voice is strong and comes across as reliable. Persons who love adventures will find a strong connection with the author. Most of Tina’s narration focuses on how her adventures have impacted negatively on her life.
Another feature I loved in this novel is its organization. It begins with basic ideas before it flows into the complex themes. The narration in prose was excellent. Every chapter was carefully encrypted and clearly brought out. I could guess the contents of the chapters just from a simple read of the title.
As much as I liked the principles and themes discussed in this novel, I was disappointed by the practicability of some of its information. For instance, Tina while in the middle of Atlantic ocean jumping from the ship into the sea to save her husband’s hat that had been taken away by strong winds was exaggerated. Who could do that considering the magnitude of the tides and the strong wind in the sea? I cannot imagine undertaking such a deadly mission.
This book is well edited and had no errorsI rate this novel at 3 out of 4 stars. There is a lot of great informationfor those just starting out on their spiritual journey. Moreover, most of the information sounded herein sounded practicable and realistic. I would recommend this book to persons enthused by the realm of travelling around the world. I am one of those persons. A journey round the globe would be thrilling.
