It is a true life motivational story about myself targeted at those people who feel like they want to give up in life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose people who are going through life\u2019s tumultuous journey and need the hope that one can still go on regardless of what a person can be going through or is going through.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt gives hope to someone who is hopeless, hope through what someone else went through and is still going through, and hope to never give up no matter what comes our way in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sibanda said the book also highlighted that through God, nothing is impossible, hence there is always light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt also talks about how God can take one from \u2018grass to grace\u2019 regardless of one\u2019s upbringing. You can still soldier on and become something in life from a humble background. There is hope at the end of the road, regardless of what we may go through in life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sibanda pointed out that she wrote the book to help people to hold on and not throw in the towel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy motivation as a believer was the Holy Spirit. I believe God wants to use my story to encourage both believers and non-believers that we must never give up in life. We must keep trusting and keep moving, looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my first book and it has received some objective feedback from a few people who have read it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the people who gave feedback on the book, Sibonisiwe Moyo, said the autobiography was an inspiration and an encouragement to those who had lost hope.<\/p>\n<p>Moyo said the gruelling experiences the author went through were motivational, especially to single mothers that they could stand on their own, have faith and trust in the Lord for everything.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cThe story also enlightens and gives insight into what is happening beyond the borders, that is, it is not all that glitters which is gold. It reveals the strength and courage of a woman who stood against all odds to become what she is now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moyo believes the novel can be used as a literature setbook in schools as it has many life lessons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
