Sidney Andre was born in Luanda, Angola. In 2014, he moved to the United States to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering. He attended the Georgia Institute of Technology from 2018 to 2021. He is the founder of “A Great Work Foundation”, which helps students by providing scholarships to allow them to continue with their education.

A Great Work is a story of faith, hope, and perseverance. It encourages all of us whose dreams and hopes seem to be gone to be of good cheer and keep believing that all things are working together for our good. As I look back at my life, I am reminded that there is no strength, perseverance, or hope without divine intervention, and therefore, it is important to know that faith will, at some point, be the only key that will unlock all the possibilities we need to finish a great work, see miracles, and renew our strength to keep moving forward. For those who are waiting on a miracle, this story will inspire you to rest in the depth of God’s promises to keep believing that your story does not have to end the same way it started, regardless of your current circumstances and the challenges you face. For the humble and weary, there is hope. For all the dreamers like me, God is able to do more than you can imagine, so believe in your vision, be at peace with yourself, and keep dreaming. Finally, for those who have lost everything, I want to remind you that the eleventh hour of the night is the darkest time of the day and yet it is the turning point for a new day. God knows, God sees, and God hears you, so cheer up, keep fighting the good work, and be confident that He who has begun a great work in you is faithful to finish it.

All the profit from the book will be used to help students achieve higher education in the city of Luanda, Angola. Learn more at www.agreatworkfoundation.com.

This year's Mother's Day is on the same day as the clocks go forward so what better time to reflect and look back on how all the hours our brilliant mums have given up guiding us to become the people we are today or remember the unexpected joys of motherhood if you are a mum yourself.

Jenny Powell might be best known for being a TV and radio presenter but it's being a mother that gives her the most joy and this Mother's Day she's encouraging us to celebrate our mums for all they do for us.

Jenny, who is mum to Constance 21, and Pollyanna 13, and is famous for presenting Top of the Pops and Wheel of Fortune, but it's being a mother that she calls "the best job in the world".

And she's not alone, according to new research from One4all Gift Cards, 18% of mothers think there's no better job out there.

27% say they've found a new inner confidence since becoming a mum with their children giving them a purpose in life (43%), feeling loved and wanted (36%) and having a greater perspective (34%).

Furthermore, 39% believe being a mother brings them the most amount of joy and happiness with 69% proud to say they never knew how much they could love another person with their kids making them laugh every single day (43%).

And it's those unexpected moments that make motherhood so fantastic, with many finding new friendship groups with other mums who support one another (23%) although 42% admitted their child has a busier social life than they do, with 41% caring more about their kid's wardrobe than their own.

However, as any mother will tell you, being a mum isn't always plain sailing with 20% saying it's much harder than they anticipated and 21% feeling underappreciated. With many mums having little free time to themselves (48%) and learning to cope with a constant lack of sleep (43%), no wonder it's led to many having a "secret cry" in the car (31%) or shower (26%).

So, this Mother's Day, let's celebrate our mums for what they've done for us in the past, present and future on the day the clocks remind us of the time mum's have given up to guide us to become the people we are today.
