12 Lessons I learned from the Guardian Monk of the Ark of Covenant, tells the personal encounter of Jevon White also known as Fessasion, as he journeys to Ethiopia. By what some may consider a chance encounter, Fessasion becomes the first non-royalty in history to meet and later become baptized by the sitting Guardian.
As he becomes a trusted “son” to the Monk he is entrusted the assignment of building a temple for the holy Ark of Covenant. Not only was it an honor for Fessasion to receive such a sacred task, he believed God was sending him a sign that would lead him on a better understanding of himself in the process.
This books chronicles Fessasion’s journey interwoven with the stories and moments he shared with the Guardian Monk. Fessasion is the first non-monarch or non-royalty figure in history to be graced with this assignment and is also the first foreigner in history to be baptized in the Holy City of Axum, Ethiopia. His story is the stuff legends are made of.
About the author
Fessasion aka Sadiki-I, was born Jevon White on the Caribbean island of Montserrat in the West Indies. Jevon later immigrated to the United States, settling in Boston where his father co-founded the annual Caribbean Carnival. Growing up in Boston, Jevon was deeply influenced by the hip-hop movement and became fascinated with the art of emceeing. After his father’s sudden passing in 1984, he returned to Montserrat and attended Montserrat Secondary School where he continued to develop his talents as a performer and emcee.
Jevon enrolled in university at the prestigious Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Soon after college, he discovered the RasTafari faith, and returned to Montserrat once again. After some time later, he returned to the states again, and Sadiki-I made a successful debut on the Reggae/Dancehall scene with his album, I Man See Judgments. Over the next several years, he recorded songs with Reggae legends such as Junior Reid, Terry Ganzie, and Mr. Eazy, and performed live on many stages throughout USA.
Driven by a deep desire to pray at the site of the Ark of the Covenant, and thus be closer to God, Sadiki-I set forth on a pilgrimage to Axum, Ethiopia, where, by a stroke of divine intervention he had the exquisitely rare privilege of meeting the monk who guards the Ark of the Covenant.
