Synopsis

During Reon Schutte's journey to liberation from both literal incarceration and the prison of the mind, he discovered the key to freedom: The Power of Choice. In his first book, Reon shares 10 Principles--lessons he learned the very hard way--and provides simple exercises to immediately put the Principles into practice in our own lives. Most people will never be in prison, but they live like they are, by robbing themselves of the power of choice, says the author.

Reon's journey demonstrates the potential for all humans to overcome adversity, while the 10 Principles illustrate the soul's opportunity to use trying circumstances for transformation.

The book contains concrete exercises to put the 10 Principles into practice, and readers are given tools to break out of their own personal prisons of fear, hate, anger, lack of forgiveness, and more, to embrace a life of happiness and peace, regardless of circumstances.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:

Although my distant ancestors are from Europe, I am not. You could think of an Afrikaner the way citizens born in the United States consider themselves as being American. Unless they are Native American, their ancestors came from somewhere else. Yet the passport they carry, the flag they salute, and the nationality they list on their immigration forms is “American.” Despite the common assumption that Afrikaners are simply displaced Dutch (“Dutchman” is a grave insult that the South African English kids liked to hurl at us), I actually could not claim to be Dutch or any other European ethnicity, even if I wanted to.

I know this first hand, because as I lay captive in a Zimbabwean prison, I appealed to various European governments for assistance, as did Amnesty International and other human rights organizations on my behalf. The European countries all essentially said, “You are not one of us. You are an Afrikaner, your people are from Africa, and thus you can’t claim citizenship by descent.”
