Bernice Angoh has the ability to reach through words and give a boost to others. Everything she writes is full of love--the reader cannot help but feel it, and keeps coming back for more. Some of her works are short--some are long--some rhyme--some stop abruptly. She says what needs to be said in the poem, and then stops. Each poem is like its own egg kingdom...crack it open, find the gold, and be nourished... I thoroughly enjoy reading her wonders. --Charlie

totally awesome poem Bernice...I wish I could paint with words as good as you. The one poem that I wrote that filled my heart and my eyes with tears is Star So Bright. But my work cannot hold a candle to yours. You are truly GIFTED.
Bless you,
ann

You have such a way with words... stating exactly what is in my...oops, I mean YOUR heart.
Your testimony of our Lord shines so beautifully and strongly through these wonderful lines.
And... Charlie's review had me in tears... between the both of you, you have spoken my heart.

Formatting is good on my screen-- must have been fixed. Beautiful write. Somehow Christian writes are generally sappy, and I'm always transfixed when they're not. I appreciate that. So hard to write about such deeply personal things without sounding somehow plastic, but you did a good job.
Schitzophrenic me: I have three hearts. The heart that belongs to my family, the one that in its entirety loves them back... The heart that loves this language-- this gift of being absorbed in it, the one that gives back to it through poetry-- the heart that loves this Lord of mine, the one that He loves back-- loves the whole of it. And it feels like there's no room for more, but somehow, that last heart engulfs them all and makes them one... --Charlie
The Passion of the Christ (Short Story) - 3/5/2008 8:42:53 PM
This is awesome. Only problem is that somehow parts of it, starting with the WHAT IF... are wrapped around advertising and not all one piece. I don't know how that happened but you may want to write to customer support.
This IS a most amazing write Bernice. I would love to forward it to others, but sure would like the layout fixed before i do. I didn't see the first several lines until i read the rest, then scrolled back to the top.

What a wonderful and informative piece filled with righteous pride.
Bernice, I read all the reviews posted below mine here, and I agree with them all. This article has made an impact on each one of us and, in turn, we each will impact others with our new viewpoints and understandings brought about by "My Africa."
Kudos to Bernice!
Thank you for sharing!

Are You Thirsty? (Article) - 12/3/2008 10:17:59 AM
Are You Thirsty? Yes, Bernice, I am thirsty every day for more of Jesus, more of His Words in the Bible, more of His strength for living and His inspiration for writing. And I am thirsty for those I love (and those I don't) to come to Him and receive that Living Water, too.
You express and explain the life in Christ so well. I know He will use this article over and over again as long as it remains here.
You are a blessing!
Love and hugs, Connie
My Africa (Article) - 11/6/2008 1:55:57 PM
Haha! I am so in awe after reading this. Didnt you know there is a Seattle in Kekem? on our way to Bamenda, we passed by it one time...and we had to go through Chicago in Nkongsamba because the bridge had collapsed....Just kidding...
I am so happy to read this article. I have met some folks who even pretend they speak nothing but English. I think it comes from a place where there is little self esteem and a need to feel intergrated in a new society, but it can be done more honest ways. I show nothing but pity and hope they Learn. This is amazing Bernice. You make me more proud to be a Cameroonian. and Yes there is also a Paris in Cameroon, they just dont have a tower.

Berenice, if you are connected to the Source, pleas tell Him to stop cheating when He plays chess with me (that's no fair!)
God should be our friend, we should respect our friend not fear Him, we should be able to speak our mind as His sons and daughters.
God bless.

Bernice,
I am so sorry about your Daddy's passing! Please accept my deepest condolences ... I know. Mine passed away in May, and how I miss him. My big, strong Daddy ... *tears*
And congratulations on finding the Source to get you through all life's trials! Beautiful, faith building write - needed this, because mine's kind of flagging right now ... election results don't help ... can you tell I voted for the other guy?!? LOL Well done.
Don't be a stranger, drop in anytime, you're always welcome and HAVE been missed!

I am saddened by this story, men tend to rule the world and women often try to find ways to protect young girl from them. In a male dominated world, women must get more education so that we can dismiss some of these horrible customs that hurt more than help. Thanks for educating me on this custom.

What an amazing talent you have with words. A most excellent piece.
My Africa (Article) - 4/14/2008 7:20:39 AM
I will have to print a copy if you don't mind and let my African and American friends read this. You are correct... people believe the stuff we see on TV and media propoganda. Just like some foreigners think that everyone lives like movies stars and there's no poverty in America.

It is said that Earth is Satan's world. It's difficult not to accept
some truth in that belief. This has always been a cruel and wicked world. What we can do is focus on God with our hearts, minds and spirits.
I agree with Liana Margiva and other reviewers: A powerful write!

hello Bernice, I didn't pass you on by. Anyway, the world problems will make us bleed, until we shut the doors on the bad and focuse on the good, as you say love is sweet and sour, life is sweet and sour.
The sweet has enough power, to overcome the sour, my lovely flower, take care

Yet, there are good things happening in our world, giving us joy in the witnessing of strangers helping others who are experiencing tragedy of one kind or another.
Thank God for the good that is in our world.

A powerful, stirring, deeply felt pen and I'm with you every line. Regis's post today has a similar theme, frustration, disappointment, guilt for our mistakes and it would seem no chance of our ever learning.

Your words echo in the hollow empty souled aisles of the churches, schools and political gathering spots and beg to be heard. It is a sad world at times for sure but...and to play the devil's advocate...there is also so much beauty and love to counterbalance at least some of the evil...a baby's gurgle, a husbands smile a flower, a sunset...you get the picture.

Will We Ever Learn? (Poetry) - 9/25/2009 2:07:04 PM
I am writing a new book, and I call it "God?: The Novel." In ot a man by the name of Truman Butler, after accidentally backing over his baby brother, goes on a search, trying to find anyone who can explain to him in words that can be understood, why God allows innocent children (the key word here is "innocent") to be afflicted with horrible and deadly diseases and accidents like what happened to his little brother. I am so excited about this book, it is a search for Truman and also for me.
In reference to your poem I am not a very religious man, although I was brought up and baptized in the Baptist Church, but if the Bible is to be believed many say that these are the last days.
Will We Ever Learn? (Poetry) - 9/25/2009 2:01:35 PM

It is plain to see that your sister and you not only share being both lovely ladies but also a talent in expressing your feelings to perfection when you want to say what is in y our heart. This is one awesome tribute to your mom and the only suggestion I would make is to get rid of the coloured print...it detracts from the colour of the words themselves.
