Barely literate, and supporting his mother and sisters from the age of ten, Abu Chaker built up a business empire--despite twice losing everything he had. Diana Darke follows his tumultuous journey, from instability in Syria and civil war in Lebanon, to his arrival in England in the 1970s, where he rescued a failing Yorkshire textile mill, Hield Bros, and transformed it into a global brand. The Merchant of Syria tells two parallel stories: the life of a cloth merchant and his resilience, and the rich history of a nation built on trade. Over millennia Syria has seen great conflict and turmoil, but like the remarkable story of Abu Chaker, it continues to survive.Binding Type: Hardcover

This book really helped me understand my true self and navigate life with a clearer sense of purpose. The exercises and reflections were useful for connecting with my values and passions, and they encouraged me to live more authentically. It’s been a great tool for personal growth, and I feel more aligned with my identity. If you’re looking to deepen your self-awareness and live a more purposeful life, I highly recommend it.

Eye opening and powerful
Format: Kindle
TD Jakes gives great insight into who we are and how to find purpose in this book. His illustrations and insights into the lives of Elisha and Elijah are really good. His focus on doing well where we are and being faithful in our current season were just what I needed to hear. If you need motivating for the next season of your life or if you are struggling to get to the next season of your life, this book will help you I'm sure.
