Path to the Dream Life
Anayo Onwuka, author
Path to the Dream Life is about the struggle of Imma, a young man living in Nigeria, West Africa, to rise above his circumstances and make good in the world. The changed lives and faith convictions of the friends he encounters along the way confront him with choices – choices that place him on a collision course with everyone and everything that matter to him. As Imma struggles with those choices, his concept of a dream life and the path thereto are tested. The broken road meanders to The Life, Christ, and to Gift, the love of his life that nearly wasn’t. A romance ensues that hits its own cross-roads and forces them to linger over the choice of the one - until the moments both see beyond themselves and progress in a relationship that will mirror and beckon the true Dream Life in more ways than one. Imma captures it in a poem he recites to Gift: ‘… But in the darkness of my doubts You lifted the lamp of love And I saw in your face The road that I should take’.

This is a moving story. It is the tale of a young man’s a journey and  as journeys end appears to be in site  he finds himself not at ease  until he begin s another journey this time into himself  and in doing so not only finds peace and fulfilment but a companion and so the journey ends but it is but the beginning ….

Anayo has told a lovely, easy to read story of a young Nigerian village boy, Imma faced with the "normal" African challenge: poverty. As I read through, I had deep personal reflections and on the Bible story of Jacob who was forced to flee home to an unknown place. While on his way, an encounter with the Lord totally changed the course of his life story. This book is a simple story that should provoke deep thoughts (or perhaps a controversy) on the place and role of faith in achieving our life goals.

Almost every successful man or woman of our generation (especially from economically emerging nations like Nigeria) must have passed through the ferocious fires of economic deprivation, social cold wars of self-identification, religious pressures of faith navigation, and the ethical/moral wars of balancing between right/wrong and economic emancipation. The story of Imam as presented in this book by Pastor Oliver Onwuka is typical of many who would be privileged to read it. In this book, Imam is a living testimony to the popular saying by Norman Vincent Pearle that: “Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that”. The story confirms that the world clears and makes a way for those who know where they are going and that a small but consistent step in the right direction is a sure way to reach one’s destination, of course with God’s Grace as the guiding light. This book is a rare blend of humor, grammar and discourse on serious contemporary issues. I recommend this piece to all, especially our youths, as a proof that what the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

Path to the Dream Life will educate and entertain you. As the author explores Imma’s journey towards a closer relationship with Jesus Christ, the reader, like Imma, learns many valuable lessons, including perhaps the most valuable lesson of all…to find life, you must first lose your life. I highly recommend this book to Believers as well as Non-Believers alike!

Anayo Onwuka spins an intriguing story in the lingo of his native Africa. The story unfolds around the faith journey of Imma from the time he was a child in his native African village, through his education, transition to the corporate world, introduction to Jesus and the Christian faith, and finally his marriage to a beautiful Christian woman. Imma's story reflects what most of us face in life - challenges, hurts, traumas, disappointments, and successes. It is a great reminder that life is a journey complete with trials and successes and requires sincere faith in God to truly find deep meaning and ultimate satisfaction!

Kelly Stickel,

Great book! Very well written. The story of Imma is an honest look at the struggle on the journey to faith that many of us have faced, or know someone who has, or is going through that journey. It is both encouraging and enlightening and I would highly recommend others to read this story. It will give others an insight into the struggle to find true freedom. This freedom is free, but it’s not easy. Imma’s journey proves that and he is not alone.

"Path to the Dream Life" is fresh, inviting, captivating and thought provoking. It challenges the reader to assess the meaning of success in one’s life. What does it mean to be successful - material accumulation at all cost or faithful achievements, through peace, joy and contentment? I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, especially to young people on the quest to chart their own life paths.

Anayo Onwuka introduces Imma, an ambitious young African on a quest to find personal and familial respect, professional success and spiritual fulfillment. Mr. Onwuka's incisive writing takes readers through Imma's trials and tribulations in such a compelling and engaging manner that it's difficult not to root for his likable protagonist as he searches for his place in the world. With keen insight, impressive pacing and a dash of humor Mr. Onwuka presents a narrative that resonates.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The story is fast-moving and the way you described the different characters is vivid and I could just picture them as I read. I also enjoyed the humorous voice you gave to the lead character and his friends - had me laughing out loud several times as I read.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgements, and His ways are past finding out!’ Romans 11:33. Indeed the steps of the righteous are ordered of God. The simplicity, beautiful imagery, relatable events, and vibrant language make this book such a delight to read! Paths to the Dream Life is a must read for every believer or would-be believer.  A book you hate to put down….
