A first look at the title of the book may give you an impression that here comes another blasphemous book probably to tell us of a god that controls the academic world, but a journey through this God-inspired book will make you dispel such a thought within seconds.
A book written out of a clear understanding and revelation of Psalm 82:6 that “ye are gods” as not only a reference of your ‘godship’ to Pharaoh or problems as Moses was, but that you are also an ‘academic god’, i.e., a god over academics.

Though a debut, the author was able to talk extensively on the topic of academics as it affects the children of God with such dexterity a John Maxwell will handle leadership or a Robert Kiyosaki will handle finance.

A first-class graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife where he graduated as the overall best graduating student in both his department (Microbiology) and the faculty of Science and a teacher of the word in the Redeemed Christian Fellowship, OAU, Adeyemi Adeleye was able to share a lot of the insights he has that made him the winner of the Young Disciples International’s Academic Excellence Award four consecutive times while in school.

This six-chapter book takes you on a journey through a sphere, the academic, where believers are yet to experience their God-given unquestionable enthronement while also equipping them with the wherewithal to ascend their rightful throne in their academics.

While Chapter One tells you the ‘truth’ as God promises, Chapter Two helps you discover and dispel the dullard mentality which may be the reason why many are performing below God’s expectation. The third Chapter takes you to the mirror to ask yourself, ‘who are you?’ This is because until you discover yourself you cannot recover (from your failures). Chapter Four takes you on a ‘mission with a vision’ while ‘on the mission’ in Chapter Five, the author makes you aware of how to run the race and the last chapter, six tells you ‘the place of God’ in your academics.

A fast page-turner undoubtedly, it is an illumination on the area of academics, a journey

to self-realization and dream-actualization sure to be a lovely companion for anyone desirous of

the much needed positive change in the academic sphere.

Fully loaded with experience of great men like Albert Einstein, Ben Carson, and the author’s, and well juxtaposed with the word of God, the book is a best-seller.
