Dare We Believe in a Life with a Purpose: From Pain to Purpose

By August Freidrich Carl Schmiedeskamp (Jnr) and Elmarie Bouwer

August Freidrich Carl Schmiedeskamp (Jnr), a healthy, full term baby, leaves the private birth clinic, and faces the world holding the cards he's dealt - a cerebral palsied spastic quadriplegic, due to an umbilical cord prolapse at birth.

For two decades he overcomes inhumane challenges, in an attempt to be accepted. To be respected. To be acknowledged. Time and again he meets with rejection, humiliation, belittlement. He fights emotional and spiritual demons, and at times demons in a human form.

With time the immense burden of it all, gets the better of him. He hits rock bottom. He asks his grandmother to assist him with self-death.

A spiritual epiphany averts the destructive spiral. August realizes what his Purpose in Life is. He makes it his own. He devotes his life to living his Purpose.

August grew from Pain to Purpose in a matter of four years. He dedicates his book "Dare We Believe in a Life with a Purpose" to everyone struggling with "Why?" He shares the answers to his questions by means of beautiful poems and captions.
