THAT WE MAY BE ONE : The Autobiography of Nigerian Ambassador Jolly Tanko Yusuf
Yusuf, Jolly Tanko, with Lillian V. Grissen
Eerdmans, 1995
123 pages

Yusuf, who served as a government leader and diplomat for Nigeria, applied Christ’s words about unity to tribalism, Muslim-Christian tensions, racism, denominationalism and imperialism throughout his career. Though he writes with candor and bluntness about Islam, Yusuf seeks to achieve full citizenship rights for all people. He speaks with deep love for English and American missionaries but strongly critiques their practice of discrimination and air of superiority. Yusuf understands that “God was particularly calling—and challenging—me to witness for him politically” (p. 60).
