“Legacy: Wisdom of African Traditions and the Bible” written by the author Chris Morehouse is a unique read. This book is rich in African and Biblical wisdom. In this book, readers would discover African expressions of the golden rule and welcoming the stranger.

The author has mentioned how African proverbs do not represent a single tradition. They are diverse and rich just like the continent of Africa. Proverbs encapsulate insights that can sink deep into your soul. The author has shared the golden rule:
If you know what hurts yourself, you know what hurts others. โ€”Malagasy (Madagascar)

This golden rule exists in beautiful variations across several African cultures. I learned this golden rule recently in my life.

The Following proverb tells us to tell God whatever we are seeking.
God spoke, โ€œAsk me and Iโ€™ll give you.โ€โ€”Swahili (Kenya & Tanzania)

The Commentary and Study Guide section is thought provoking. It will help us to study and explore more wisdom. The comparison between African and Christian teachings is done well. I am glad to read the book. The proverbs are full of wisdom.
