Here, check out the following Q & A for a bit more information about Nehemiah and his book… 'The Many Faces of Nehemiah'.





1) Nehemiah, name three words that best describe who you are.   I'd say, angry, afraid, and hopeful.

2) How would you describe your book, 'The Many Faces of Nehemiah'?   In many ways, it's a love letter to all of those people who are struggling to find themselves.

3) What song would you say best represents your book and why?   To answer this question, I'd like to select the Jewish folk song, 'Hava Nagila', because roughly translated into English, it means, 'let's be happy'.

4) If you could get a celebrity – either living or dead – to promote your wares, who would you choose, and why would you want to choose this particular person?   I'd like to choose Barack Obama, as he's such a bright and honorable individual.

5) What do you think is the most surprising thing about your book?   Well, what surprises me the most is how my personal story has become such a sensation!
