There is nothing that brings hope than having someone who has gone through the same struggle as you tell you "I know how you feel, I've been there and you're going to make it." The 12 testimonials in "Mira Mira, on the wall" (African accent for Mirror Mirror - a metaphor for self-reflection) are "the voices of hope" from women from Africa and America who have experienced difficult struggles in their teenage years. The study offers a "light at the end of the tunnel" for young girls who have struggled or are struggling with age appropriate issues like low self esteem, relational problems - to the most pervasive ones like drugs & drinking, teen pregnancy, sexual abuse, prostitution, and pornography. Some of the cultural context of these women might be different but their compelling and universal stories will pull at your heart string as you find common ground in their struggles. It will also inspire and give you hope as you share in their victories. You do not have to feel like you're alone in your struggle The testimonial questions, author's comments, scripture readings and exercises in this devotional bible study give you the opportunity for personal reflection and help you work through your issues personally or with others. It will renew and strengthen your faith, help you cope with sad feelings, and give you tools to handle conflicts. In time, you will make small changes that will lead you to a happier and more productive life. Eka Frimpong migrated from Nigeria to America in 1975 in pursuit of a better education and opportunity.
