Miracle on the Atlantic Coast is different from many books before it that usually recite the causes and effects of perpetual poverty in Liberia and other developing countries. This book, however, offers a new Vision of Unity, Peace, Equality, Fairness, Justice, Hope, Opportunity and Prosperity for all Liberians. As Liberia reaches 185 years since its founding and 160 years of Independence, the time is now for each and every Liberian to fill our hearts and minds with Positive Patriotism anchored by Love for God, Love for Ourselves as Liberians, Love for Liberia and Love for each and every fellow Liberian. This vision is a Vision of Positive Patriotism.

With a new Vision, the book implores Liberians to embark on building a New Foundation for our beloved Republic since the foundation that was built in 1822 has been destroyed and/or is obsolete. The land, Liberia, is blessed with abundant natural resources such as gold, diamonds, iron ore, rubber, timber and the necessary manpower.

This book lays out strategies on how Liberians can protect, unify and professionally manage our country; marshal and develop Liberia's human and financial capital, natural resources; build new inclusive permanent functional institutions, eliminate corruption, create jobs for the 85% of Liberians that are unemployed today and bring about the rapid economic and social development of Liberia.

Equally important, the pages of this book offer practical strategies and step-by-step implementation guides that will make the new Vision a reality and lift Liberia out of the deep valley of poverty to the great heights of prosperity! With God’s help and Liberian’s hard work, we can turn Liberia into a Miracle on the Atlantic Coast in less than twenty years. Finally, the strategies in this book when applied carefully can lift any developing country from extreme poverty to unprecedented prosperity. - The End-

He would like to extend his deepest appreciation to all of his wonderful supporters who attended the event, called or emailed and those who have purchased copies of the book or will be purchasing copies of the book in years to come.

Richards, for all of her support and for not only being there for him but, also for being his friend and business partner, actively engaged in their various business endeavors over the years. As it is often said, “Behind every successful man is a great woman!” The children would like to thank their mother for being the rock that took care of them while their father spent many months away, working for the Liberian government.

Thanks also go to the following persons for all of their work prior to, during and following the book signing event.

Daniel Nelson, Jr., Pereta Summerville, Theodore Morgan, Yvette Lomax and finally, members of the media, Alvin Peabody (The Diaspora Voice), Ciata Victor (TLCAfrica), Kwame Clement and Welma Redd (TheAfricaWorldTV) and Wanda Draper (WBALTV).
