“Readers can tell when authors write with ink they’ve never gotten on their hands, speaking to things they know nothing about. The words on these pages haven’t been written theoretically from some insulated cubicle safe from life’s harms. John Onwuchekwa teaches us how to connect wisdom from the sacred pages of Scripture to the blistering pavement of our flesh-and-blood realities. He also teaches us how to keep our heads on straight when we’re applauded for worldly successes as well as how to live our lives getting back up when we’re down for the count and helping others up. We Go On reaches straight into the soul of the reader where our deepest fears and darkest doubts and fiercest anxieties reside, injecting solid, timeless truth. And where there is truth, there is hope.”
“In We Go On, John Onwuchekwa . . . allows us to see what many men of God don’t: his struggles, his issues, his doubts. In a word, his humanity. But praise God that Onwuchekwa doesn’t stop at admitting that he experiences the same challenges as the rest of us. He also shows us the way to overcome and to triumph.”
“I could not put this book down. These words speak hope to despair, understanding to confusion, empathy to suffering, purpose to aimlessness, and life to death. John has masterfully brought the wisdom of the book of Ecclesiastes into our own stories, and into the reality of the world in which we live.”
“John and I have bonded over many things throughout the years. One . . . of the deepest connections we have has been around the book of Ecclesiastes. . . . We Go On pulls from the wisdom teachings of Solomon and infuses it with his unique experience and perspective. John is a dynamic thinker and communicator. His voice is so needed in a time like this.”
“Solomon’s ancient wisdom comes to us by way of John’s clear and contemporary articulation of it. With the lightheartedness of a friend and the pastoral burden of a shepherd, John explores themes we either know well or will know soon. His words will surely help us embrace the ride that is life. Buckle up.”
“With refreshing honesty, relatable stories, and encouraging truth, John Onwuchekwa captures the hearts and minds of readers with this incredible journey through the book of Ecclesiastes. . . .My soul feels rested after reading through these pages!”
“We Go On is full of truth, beautifully written, and endlessly practical. You feel like you’re sitting down for coffee with a wise friend and having a brutally honest conversation about life. . . . We Go On is cold water for a thirsty generation, and I promise you won’t regret reading it.”
