SAVED BY GRACE, The Paradox of Male Child Syndrome A Real-Life Story of the Ordeals, Hardships and Challenges of Females Living in a Community That Has Male Preferences.

One of the greatest injustices within the human race over thousands of generations is the belief that females are inferior to males. Coupled with factors such as widespread poverty, lack of education, religious beliefs and unjust traditional laws made and enforced in favour of the male folk, one begins to wonder if the African culture is a curse or a blessing based on its perception and treatment of the female gender. By refusing to celebrate the female child at birth, treating her as a liability (something good only for marriage), failing to grant her access to quality education, blaming her for childlessness in marriage, depriving her of a share in the family inheritance as well as treating her like part of her husband's property to be inherited, we all contribute to this great evil that has brought about untold hardships to women today. This book not only brings this evil to the fore by telling first-hand stories of victims, but it is also a call for positive action - a call for repentance. Do you desire a better world for the whole of mankind? This book is just for you.Fr. Evaristus AbuSt. Agatha Catholic Church, Benin City. Nigeria
