The author, Henry Kakembo, M.D. is a graduate of Makerere University medical school, Uganda. He completed a master's degree in pharmacology at Chelsea College in London followed by a Doctor Med at Bonn University, West Germany. In 1983, when he emigrated to the United States, he interned in medicine at Howard University Hospital, Washington D.C. and later opened a family practice in Baltimore, Maryland. He retired from practice in 2018.

 In "The Face of God, What Enoch Saw in Heaven," Dr, Kakembo takes a scientific approach to address mankind's enduring quest to crack the mystery of life and its purpose and meaning. He zeros in on the complex aspect of spiritual beliefs, including history, benefits, rewards for holding them, and the role heredity plays in their origination and staying power. Dr. Kakembo offers insight into the nature of supernatural powers that are the backbone of the beliefs and associated religious practices, and reveals the reason they have stood the test of time.

Even though faith may provide meaning, such meaning is tangential to the ultimate meaning of life. In the end, Dr. Kakembo finds that, despite diverse symbolism, since religious rituals provide similar benefits, all religions are "true." But, as they are illusory, just a feeling, God and gods are us. "The Face of God," then, is akin to a book of life, as it provides answers to a lot of questions.
