Living to the Brim: Autobiography of a Centaurium is one of the rarest treasures you will ever hold. It is the story of an energetic 100-years old man. It is spectacular that at 99, the author commenced and soon completed the book without eyeglasses, while actively engaged in playing badminton and going about other social, religious and community activities. I urge every person  who is literate in English to read this book both for knowledge and as a rare reminder of how the
Lord distributes His gifts to His children. Papa Bertrand Igbokwe as a witness and narrator has served us a menu of some of the rarest glimpses of the anthropology, history, sociology, and
culture of the Igbo people.

Being an ardent Catholic, the book is also a reference material on the development of the Catholic Church. It is a treasure trove.
