Author Description

Born into this world, we are each given a life to live and a person to become. Yet how many of us can say we know who we truly are and why we are alive? Not knowing the answer to these fundamental questions can render us powerless to shape our lives in our image, leaving many of us disillusioned and dissatisfied towards what seems an increasingly unreflective and unequal world. In this seminal work of non-fiction synthesis, BAND - A Philosophy puts forward the contention that the state of our being as such is rooted in ignorance of self and of God, with powerful systems of control that perpetuate this darkness. Drawing on his own struggles with matters of race, nationality, and belonging, author Richard Graham takes us on a deeply introspective and spiritually inquisitive exploration of identity. He offers a unique perspective on what it ultimately means to discover and truly become oneself, to thereby become truth and united with God.
