Jaska Duwadi bares his soul and asks his readers to do the same in his new book, No Longer I. Jaska describes his transition from being raised as a Hindu in Nepal, to becoming a born-again Christian through God's intervention. Jaska's introduction and relationship with God is a very personal one, and it is a sacred thing he does not treat lightly. The title of his book speaks to his convictions in separating oneself from this world and from any kind of lukewarm approach towards God, His Word, and one's faith.
Jaska tells a story of his experiences living in Nepal, Australia, and the U.S., and examines the cultural and spiritual attitudes towards God and Christianity. His experiences meeting fellow Christians and pastors challenges him to revisit what the biblical foundations of being a believer are. Topics such as repentance, obedience, evangelism, meditation on the Word, and holiness are not just recommendations, but commands from God that are to be daily ingrained into one's life. Jaska challenges Christians to commit and live by these commandments, both in the pew and in the home.
The fire that is inside Jaska Duwadi is a fire he wishes for all believers to embrace and lean into. No Longer I will leave Christians feeling spiritually refreshed and challenged to faithfully pick up their cross and follow Jesus.
Endorsements
"This book is filled with gospel power and biblical soundness. Jaska does not use his testimony for personal glory, like so many others, but instead uses it to point people to the One Who deserves all the glory, Jesus Christ. This book will convict and encourage you, as it conveys biblical truth in a clear and compelling way. Theologically sound, well-written, and inspiring! I highly recommend this book."

"Jaska was raised in a very religious home in Nepal surrounded by man-made gods. By not finding peace in the gods and having a fear of death, Jaska heard God speak to him through a dream with the simple words, 'Read the Bible.' That was the beginning of a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, Jaska began a journey from Australia to America, where he has challenged believers to share the gospel. As a believer of sixty-plus years, his book has challenged me and will challenge you to lead people to the living God."
