"e;In the darkness of the night, the nightingale sings with wondrous splendor, A beckoning songbird calling the world to feel peaceful surrender. The nightingale's beauty lives in the essence of his melodic voice, Leaving listeners disarmed by its power, making sweetness their choice."e; From the poem, Splendor in the Night's Light, D. Ferris Arfaa arouses our awareness that life's true meaning and effect emanates from our inner beauty, not outward appearance! Furthermore, we are left with the personal choice of whether to receive and surrender to the power of redemption and salvation through Jesus Christ. This book contains poems that reflect on the lives of Jesus and His original Twelve Apostles. The poems carry us from their callings by Jesus into apostleship and, finally, martyrdom. They are intended to spark a personal revival in each of us to answer God's calling no matter our personal limitations. From the First Nightingale to the Last emphasizes that, like Jesus and His Apostles, we all share a common nature, but we can move beyond our personal shortcomings to a powerful purpose in service to others. The reader cannot fail to be motivated to a new level of living through the power of faith and a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Its originality is manifested in every paragraph; its cumulative impact creates a revolutionary path to the understanding of acting in post-colonial Africa; its fabulous take on the mentor-mentee relationship is so compelling as to lead to an analytical framework on how to teach others. Euba has achieved what is hard to come by: a fact-based, rigorous, and sincere take on African theater situated within a rich historical context in order to understand the complexities of individual characters in their lived realities, along with the politics and culture of watershed moments.
