Book Review by Ruth Adjei

The novel Ancestral Sacrifice by Kaakyire Akosomo Nyantakyi tells the story of two families of different religious disposition: one of the families is Christian, the other 'traditionalist'. These two families are on very good terms with each other.

Nana and Bob Little, children from the Traditionalist and Christian families respectively, attend a traditional ceremony - an 'ancestral sacrifice'. However, Bob, scared by the proceedings, screams and protests and is subsequently thrown out of the shrine. Bob loses his way back home because it is dark and ends up in the sacred forest.

Book Review by Martin Egblewogbe

This is one of my favorite Ghanaian novels, which I first read many years ago. First published under the title Permit for Survival in 1981, Brother Man is a fast-paced piece heavily laden with Bill Marshall's especially rich humour.

A short story by Rev Peter Addo.

I am going to tell you a wonderful and intriguing story you will find hard to believe. I assure you, it is a true story and you can check it up if you have the time , the nerve and the inclination to do so. Let me warn you that it will take a strong and iron nerve to even begin this story . This may sound at first to be nothing but a wild superstitious tale , believe me it is not. Like the air we breathe I believe that we have always been surrounded by unseen and wonderful spirits and we will still be in the company of these good spirits even in the next millennium.
