Jaska Duwadi bares his soul and asks his readers to do the same in his new book, No Longer I. Jaska describes his transition from being raised as a Hindu in Nepal, to becoming a born-again Christian through God’s intervention. Jaska's introduction and relationship with God is a very personal one, and it is a sacred thing he does not treat lightly. The title of his book speaks to his convictions in separating oneself from this world and from any kind of lukewarm approach towards God, His Word, and one’s faith.

Jaska tells a story of his experiences living in Nepal, Australia, and the U.S., and he examines the cultural and spiritual attitudes towards God and Christianity. His experiences meeting fellow Christians and pastors challenges him to revisit what the biblical foundations of being a believer are. Topics such as repentance, obedience, evangelism, meditation on the Word, and holiness are not just recommendations, but commands from God that are to be daily ingrained into one’s life. Jaska challenges Christians to commit and live by these commandments, both in the pew and in the home.

The fire that is inside Jaska Duwadi is a fire he wishes for all believers to embrace and lean into. No Longer I will leave Christians feeling spiritually refreshed and challenged to faithfully pick up their cross and follow Jesus.

Reviewer: Jeanette Durkin

Wow, this book came into my life at just the right time! Lately I have been questioning my faith, what I believe in and how I can share the gospel and live everyday for Jesus.

In the first two chapters Jaska gives a glimpse of his life growing up with idol worship. Each chapter after that offers inspiration, calls for repentance and a challenge to unashamedly live a life for Christ. Jaska writes that the words he wrote "aim to leave the reader broken but not without hope, as the brokenness unveils the profound offerings of the cross of Calvary for a penitent soul."

Chapter 4 is the one that spoke the most to my heart. I have been feeling an overwhelming desire to evangelize but I feel like I lack the tools. This quote reminded me that God can use anyone. "An incredible miracle resulted from a simple, spirit filled fisherman speaking his heart out. No significant education was required, just faith and a life of complete obedience."

I was provided a complimentary copy of the book from the author through Interviews and Reviews. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
