My name is Bernard Maingi. Am born again, a father of two boys and two girls. My journey in writing started in 2015. Let me just say I wasn’t planning to write, however I used to do inspirational messages and send them to my friends until one day my friend prompted me that I can transform these messages into a book.
So 2015 I started my maiden journey into writing my first book. I realized that once you start writing you never stop. So I did my first book in 2016 titled “Living beyond your limits” . Having been born and raised in a rural set up, this book was inspired by the tough challenges that I went through during my growing up.
I had lost my daddy and growing up without him was a big challenge to me, but God is faithful no matter the circumstances. After I did my first book ‘Living beyond your limits’ in 2016. I started my second book titled ‘Power of Believing’ this book was inspired by the fact that many people suffer from low self-esteem and until you believe in your self no one will. After COVID-19 hit, and I lost my job, I had lots of spare time so I decided to do my third book titled ‘Power of Forgiveness’.
Many people, if not all are dying under the weight of ‘Unforgiveness’. Marriages are collapsing, siblings do not talk to one another, children have issues with parents and vice versa. At work level, people can’t get along well due to unforgiveness. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you ‘Lewis B. Smedes’
Finally, besides writing, I run a natural honey business and run an organization called Child Compassion Fund.
Child Compassion Fund supports HIV/AIDs widows in the rural setting and also runs a campaign to support keep a girl in school through provision of sanitary towels in remote primary schools.
