Now Is The Time Born For A Purpose

The Time Is Now: Born for a Purpose is a powerful and poetic novel that begins in a quiet village and unfolds into a movement that stirs the soul. When a young teacher named Arel returns to Elengo-a forgotten village scarred by poverty, silence, and loss-he doesn't arrive with a grand plan. Just a notebook. A question. And a burning refusal to give up on the children no one remembered. What begins as a single classroom under a tree becomes The Fifth Door-a school that becomes sanctuary, spark, and song.
Through storms and letters, laughter and longing, the story follows a community rising beyond its limits, rediscovering memory, and rewriting what's possible. As children build, teach, and lead, their voices echo across continents. From banana leaf classrooms to global forums, the Fifth Door becomes not just a place-but a purpose. This is a story of radical hope. Of education as resistance. Of the magic that lives in ordinary people when they believe enough to begin.
Joshua Oduor weaves a narrative that is both intimate and global-rooted in the soil of one village, but speaking to every reader who has ever asked, "Does what I do matter?"The answer, on every page, is yes. Because the time is not later. The time is now.
