Monrovia – Reverend Dr. John D. Monger of the Ministry of Truth has emphasized that his primary purpose in authoring several religious books is to educate and guide people toward making wise decisions.
Speaking in an interview, Rev. Dr. Monger highlighted the transformative power of education, stating that a well-informed mind enables individuals to make thoughtful choices. “When a person is educated and strengthened mentally, it empowers them to make wise decisions. Writing is one of the ways I have chosen to educate and communicate knowledge to others,” he said.
Inspiring Through Writing
Dr. Monger has authored a series of religious books aimed at providing guidance and encouragement to readers. He explained, “I have written a series of books in the religious domain that people can use to direct their lives, improve their way of doing things, and gain a better sense of direction. My writings aim to pass on messages not just to Liberians but to the world at large.”
He revealed that his journey into writing began after receiving an honorary Doctorate in Theology from The World Christians Ministry International, a Christian institution based in California, USA.
“I ventured into writing after completing my theological studies. When the institution that awarded me the honorary degree required me to publish a book meeting their standards, I was compelled to do so. I wrote my first book as instructed, which led to the confirmation of my degree. From there, I decided to continue writing,” he recounted.
Books with a Purpose
Dr. Monger’s first book, God’s Greatest Asset to Man, focuses on the human mind as a tool for success, emphasizing that one’s background or circumstances do not define their potential.
“I wanted to educate people that the greatest asset God has given us is our mind. If you use your mind properly, no matter your situation, you will succeed,” he explained.
His second book, “Don’t Crack the Egg,” uses the egg as a metaphor for the human mind. “If you allow negative influences to infiltrate your thoughts, it will destroy your positive mindset, just as air entering a cracked egg can ruin its contents,” he said.
Other titles by Rev. Dr. Monger include Secrets to Overcome Discouragement and “Look Beyond the Dark Cloud,” which provide further inspiration and guidance.
Addressing Liberia’s Drug Crisis
Rev. Dr. Monger also expressed deep concern about Liberia’s escalating drug crisis, describing it as a major threat to the nation’s future.
“The greatest war we are fighting now in Liberia is the drug war. It has already damaged the minds of men, women, and children – the very individuals we expect to lead the future,” he lamented.
He called for collective efforts to combat drug abuse and rehabilitate those affected. “We must come together to end drug abuse, rehabilitate those who have been damaged, and provide continuous education to prevent others from falling into this trap. This is the only way to secure the future of our beloved country,” he urged.
Rev. Dr. Monger’s passion for education and his call to action against the drug crisis demonstrate his commitment to building a better Liberia through writing and advocacy.
