Deji Yesufu compiled HUMANITY, a collection of 101 pieces, over a decade. These essays have now been collected in this book to convey a unified idea: that God's grace was made evident through the creation of man. The book discusses four important facets of human life: religion, politics, economy and society. Whereas politics is the tale of how men decide to rule themselves, religion expresses man's belief in the supernatural, society is the setting in which men live and the economy is man's effort at surviving within all these. The Christian worldview, as taught in the Bible, benefits humanity greatly. It also attempts to provide pertinent commentary on subjects that pertain to daily living. The writer of this book discusses

The accidental death of Richard Gbadebo in Ibadan
The Christian gospel
Despotic rulers like Kim Jong Un of North Korea and the late Robert Mugabe
The Coronavirus pandemic

The ENDSARS protest, and a host of other topics.

Certain elements of the book could be considered the author's memoir. He also reflects on what truth is in other passages. The main takeaway is that we can all make the most of our time on earth while anticipating spending all of eternity with God in the afterlife, despite the inherent challenges that people face in this life. The author demonstrates how humans are the pinnacle of God's creation and that our current location on earth is not by chance. All of the events in our lives, good or bad—past, present, or future—are a part of the epic tale that God is telling. We should be grateful for our privilege to be part of His-story.
