Fresh from a near-death experience in the hospitals of Washington, DC, Dr. Kasonso explains the essence of life in our world today, including timeless principles, inspirational stories, and a personal witness of what holds life together.

Human existence is a quest to find significance. We all want our lives, our activities, our situations, and the people around us to make sense. But in our broken world, life is always juxtaposed by endless predicaments. As such, we all live through unresolved dilemmas, we all carry around unanswered questions, and we all live through unexplained events. There are always two sides to every life storywhat we know and we do not know, what we can reach for and what is completely beyond us, what we can live with and what we can live without.

Relive the principles that make life worth living, and discover a way to find meaning in a broken world in The Original Templates.

Dr. Kasonso beautifully captures the essence of what it means to live a life that is fully surrendered to Jesus. It is inspiring. It is encouraging. It is challenging. Read it slowly and let it shape your heart and mind in the way of Jesus. - Insoo Kim, Coauthor of Both-And: Living the Christ-Centered Life in an Either-Or World and Church Planter of Life Church Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The Original Templates is a must read book for everyone who is seeking his life to be reignited with passion for the Lord and His mission. Its not just like any other book filled with words but something that is calling us back to original Christianity and be the answer to this broken world. Dr. Kasonso is an ordinary Christian with an extraordinary faith in Lord and a great inspiration to my personal walk with the Lord. - Rev Damas Kamfwa, National Director: Association of Vineyard Churches, Zambia.
