"At this time when there is so much violence, conflict, terrorism, and division, beginning from the family to the international community, this book comes as a timely masterpiece to address these issues. The author's masterly use of the Scriptures to critique and correct the current status quo makes it convincing that peaceful coexistence is possible in Nigeria and elsewhere. The depth of scholarship and simplicity of language commend this volume as a must read."
--Donatus Udoette, Uyo Catholic Diocese, Nigeria
"Multifaceted problems in religion and society are caused by humans who have lost touch with what it means to be human. If these problems are to be resolved, these responsible agents need to be repositioned to reclaim their true identity as people created in God's 'image and likeness.' . . . Fr. Udoekpo is to be very highly commended for painstakingly illustrating this truth and offering sustainable solutions."
--Teresa Okure, SHCJ, Catholic Institute of West Africa, Nigeria
"Fr. Mike Ufok has successfully woven together those social factors which inhibit the search for ethics and unity in Nigeria and globally, factors such as corruption, injustice, oppression, kidnappings, terrorism, crimes, fear, unemployment, human degradation, and the rising tide of atheistic secularism. . . . He is able to proffer a remedial process of returning to core family values and the rule of law. . . . Highly recommended for both academics and policy makers."
--Basil A. Ekot, Veritas University Abuja, Nigeria
"Insightful and analytical in nature. Dr. Michael Udoekpo gives the reader deep and clear root causes of human failures as an individual and as a society and proposes a spiritual and moral revolution that ought to start immediately from within."
--Anselm Camillus Etokakpan, University of Uyo, Nigeria
"This multifaceted study wades into the causes of conflict and disharmony in the world, and particularly Nigeria, and emerges unscarred with concrete proposals on how to deal with them. The author exemplifies this with select texts from the Bible and in-depth analysis of the role of the family, mass media, and politics in guaranteeing the stability of any nation. In a society marked by incessant conflicts and threats of war, I highly recommend this book."
--Emmanuel O. Nwaoru, Catholic Institute of West Africa, Nigeria
