Pastor Smart Hopewell was diagnosed as being dyslexic at the age of 8. That allowed some of his teachers to call him dummy, treated and labelled him as HOPELESS. He was taunted in school, bullied, ridiculed and made to feel like an outcast. The way the world dealt with his educational and social challenge made him feel segregated, tormented, withdrawn, disinterested, angry and pushed into a deep depression.

tunately for him, he never lost sight of the LOVE of God and the importance of CHRIST in His life. He prayerfully and passionately pursued God. By so doing he was able to overcome all the challenges that came his way.

overcame his dyslexia only to discover that he is a genius that his teachers did not have the skill to address. That led to the birthing of the SHAPE UP>/font> ministry where he uses music, IT skill and the WORD of God to encourage teenagers and young adults today.

His story will touch you and encourage you. If you have ever been told that you will amount to nothing, this book is for you!
