The book is designed to be read daily, as it introduces the reader to 365 truly intriguing Christ followers. I found it impossible to limit myself to only one biography per day so I read many of the entries in one sitting. I love the approach of this book. In its own unique way it gives the reader a sense of church history. It reminds us that we are not the first, nor the only, to face the difficulty and adventure of our calling for great sacrifice as we demonstrate our love for God by love people.
The range of these stories pulled on the range of my emotions, but the one overriding emotion I have every time I close this book, is a sense of Godly pride. I leave the book inspired and proud to be apart of this great faith. Ironically I leave this book looking forward, looking inward and looking upward. I am reminded that following Christ requires a deep loyalty and trust.
The book invites the reader to come close to God knowing he will respond by coming close to us.

About Kwesi Williams
Kwesi Williams is a Christian who sincerely believes that people are God’s greatest treasure. That’s the most important part.
He’s the author of SCREAM which chronicles his journey from the hopelessness of pretense and religion to the freedom found in authentic and transparent relationship with God and others.
You may also want to know that he has been a youth ministry practitioner since the age of 16 (for half of his life), most recently serving on the pastoral staff of a church in the Washington Metropolitan area as the full-time youth minister for five years.
Originally from Trinidad, Kwesi relocated to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area as a teenager, struggling to get free from the baggage of an abusive adolescence. After finding his own SCREAM, he has helped others to begin their healing process.
Refreshingly difficult to label, Kwesi is a thinker who feels challenged to minister to young people’s practical needs, as well as providing an environment for worship and fellowship that is relevant to post-moderns.
Kwesi is also a gifted songwriter and singer, anointed worship leader, great father to son Kaleb and daughter Kharon, mentor to many and excellent cook, particularly of jerk chicken.
Through fifteen years together, I have witnessed his SCREAM, and I am proud to call him my husband.
