"Because you now see that you are actually the shaper of your

own future life, you start saying: "I wish I had known." If you did not

really know, I believe God would be ready to forgive you. What if he

tells you : I have sent you several signs to make you repent as I knew

you would be coming to me soon.

This book is one such sign. We do have the power in us to avoid

perdition. We do have the power in us to avoid the AIDS pandemic.

But also, we do have the power in us to improve our own life. Maybe

to even enjoy sex better than before, if only we are willing to try."

This is a book that invites each one of us to learn from the mistakes

of people who are victims of AIDS (chap. I); it also contains

basic information on AIDS and a number of catchy sayings that might

be interpreted as bombs destined to ring in the ears of our minds

each time we are tempted to do something that would lead us astray

(chap. 2), various messages to specific categories of people (chap. 3),

a strong appeal to repeal traditional evils against women (chap. 4),

secret messages by various people to their sexual partners (chap.

5&6), an appendix that consists of texts which further encourage us

to lead a safe sexual behavior.

This book is a follow-up to The Fruit of Love by Philip Mutaka.

The dissemination of these two books is important in fighting the

spread of AIDS.
