About

A writer built on faith, in three dimensions.

Lami Abayilo seated at a desk with books, in a navy blazer

Sanmi Lami Abayilo (née Gamde) is the author of Beyond Limits and Wait on the Lord. As a child she read voraciously. The reading fed an imaginative mind, and from it grew a storyteller, a gift her three daughters still enjoy at the kitchen table.

The work began with a line she read on a wall poster: “when all things come to a halt, faith goes killing giants.” That was her first encounter with faith, and faith, in its three dimensions (in God, in self, in humanity), is the foundation everything else is built on.

Her writing spans fiction and non-fiction, and her goal is consistent: to help people bring out the best in themselves and reach the level of success they were designed for. That work now runs in parallel with her role as Director of Wealth Connect, a yearly global convening on sustainable growth in a borderless world.

Books

A new series begins. Earlier works remain in print.

Lami is now writing the Spirit World Series, a four-volume work. The first volume is forthcoming; three earlier titles, long out of print in spirit but still in print in fact, stay available for new readers.

The new work · Book One

Cherubim and Seraphim. Touch the Invisible and Unravel Mysteries of the Transcendent Life

Where are you in life right now?

A devotional and instructional work on the realm beyond this one, the place the author argues human life was always designed to be lived from. Cherubim and Seraphim opens the series with a direct question: are you living a fulfilled life, or standing on the brink of despair from failed visions? Then it answers with a framework for taking full responsibility and stepping into the higher life that is already yours.
