Overview

Can't Stop Walking: Every Walk Must First Begin with a Step, Purpose, and Direction is a stunning and incisive nonfictional narrative which critiques some of the cultural, traditional, and societal issues which impacted and challenged the lives of many Liberians, especially the youth who suffered, bled, and died in their ignorance during the Liberian Civil War. This is a book uniquely written to bring the readers mentally closer to some information and experiences that may seem unrealistic but true, inconceivable or trivia but factual. The book reveals the tireless and unwavering efforts made by two friends bound together in one faith and purpose with a desire to change the mindset of youths who were actively involved in a civil war. It discusses how these two friends nonviolently challenged the culture, tradition, and societal elites of a small town by engaging the youth and elders through the "Trinity Plan" and helped transform a struggling church threatened by dogmas and traditional practices.

Praise for Can’t Stop Walking

“Can’t Stop Walking is contextually historical and stylistically inspirational. The characters, settings, and scenes are relatable. . . . I found myself walking along with the author through each page. Murphy does an excellent job of carefully inviting, directing, and informing his readers as he introduces his characters, settings, and each event in the context and stage in which it unfolds. . . . This book is an encapsulation of both ends of the African proverb: ‘Go alone if you want to go fast. But go together if you want to go far.’ . . . I am genuinely proud to call Murphy my Liberian Lutheran brother.”

—Moses Suah-Dennis, president of the Association of Liberian Lutherans in the Americas
