In her book, “Born to Fight”, Rutendo Gwatidzo helps readers identify the different types of fights that come in life and shares some of the tools that can be effective in dealing with them.
Using a combination of biblical principles, testimonies from her life as well as advice that she has been given by others, she shares how we are all born to fight and how we can survive these common battles of life with winning strategies.
Her prayer is that readers will find some nuggets of wisdom that will encourage them and give them hope.
“While we are all born to fight, we must take heart and embrace the opportunities in every fight that we face to lead a life of triumph,” says Rutendo.
“I suddenly saw my mum running towards me with a huge and thick stick. I stopped while trying to figure out what she was chasing. As if she wanted to strike me, she passed me and then changed direction, motioning frantically for me to follow her as she carried on running. I swiftly turned and that is when I saw through the corner of my eye that a hyena had been following me. Probably all the way from the borehole.” Excerpt from the book: Born To Fight by Rutendo Gwatidzo Chapter 1.

- RUTENDO: WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK:
FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
Many young people find themselves in situations and dilemmas where they are faced with choices that challenge their integrity and character. I wrote this book to share the principles that I have learnt of how to confront challenges the right way and overcome. As someone who has faced difficult circumstances, I have much to share from my experiences that can be of help to the next generation.
- BECAUSE THE STRUGGLE IS REAL
It’s unrealistic to think that you can go through life without having to face fights, struggle, or conflict. At every phase of life, you must overcome some obstacle or hindrance to be able to get to the next stage. The struggle is real, but we don’t have to fear or avoid it. We are born to fight but don’t lose heart, because if we are born to fight then we are destined to win.
- TO SHARE THE SECRETS OF A VICTORIOUS LIFE
There are timeless principles we can always draw on as winning battle strategies when we want to achieve a certain victory. We were created to lead a life of victory and to enjoy those victories with celebration. Come on the journey with me through the pages of this book. We will laugh, smile, and learn. You don’t want to miss this.
