About this listen

Themi was the bass player for The Flies, a Beatles-type band that took Australia by storm in 1964. Then, he enrolled at Melbourne University and became a neo-Marxist social activist.

After a personal tragedy, Themi sank into a fog of hippie confusion. His rock star, atheist persona was shattered. Over a few months, a series of divine visions changed a young man from a lost soul into a servant of Jesus Christ.

He earned degrees in theology, languages, and Biblical studies at some of the most prestigious universities in America, and became a distinguished scholar.

In the late 1990s, Themi again questioned his life's direction. Was he serving Christ best as a top-tier academic? A series of events led him to follow another path, serving the poor in his native Africa.

Themi founded the Holy Orthodox Mission in Freetown, Sierra Leone, in 2008. Over the past 14 years, Bishop Themi has battled Ebola and foes both earthly and spiritual to feed, educate, and offer the love of Christ to thousands of West African people.

Bishop Themi is a beacon of hope and inspiration to millions of Orthodox Christians, and proof that the cause of Christ still shines brightly in the darkness of our fallen world.

Honest and Inspirational

An Inspirational story that takes us on a journey expanding over 60 years through love loss hope and redemption.
I recommend this book not only to those who wish care for others through aid work but to all allowing us helping us to empathise with the challenges and sacrifices made by people like Bishop Themi. Where his life’s work has not only helped a starving nation gain what they need to save their lives but most important save their souls. Congratulations to the author Eli Bear.
