Book Description
There are as many truths to a story as there are people to tell it. Tony and Olivia are as different as husband and wife can be. When a misunderstanding leads to a devastating betrayal, Tony makes Olivia a single promise that has damaging consequences for his family. He is forced to make one impossible choice after another, causing him to do all the wrong things for the right reasons. A frightening pattern takes shape that forces his family to reevaluate how they think about right and wrong. Pain and abandonment have hardened Victoria in ways no one could have foreseen. As she reconnects with the son she surrendered for adoption years ago, the parent-child relationship is tested and strained when Victoria forces her son to keep the promise she made to her brother.

Book Description
The first book, The Flaming Sword, was not so much of a daily devotional at all; but worth exploring as well, if not before this devotional! In my ministry, counselling with so many people, I found that people need the Word of God simply broken down in simple reading; as many just read the Bible without really understanding what they are reading! Folayan Osekita, a servant prophet and evangelist of the Living God, has done this so well; and all the reader needs is to take the time and trouble to commit to daily reading and studying of the devotional - and they would surely be very blessed in Jesus Name!

The wilful action of obedience, regardless of circumstance, yields a fulfilling life journey. Simple obedience brings multiple blessings. The book in your hand, a product of stringent obedience, seeks to enlighten you in the way of obedience for divine purposes. To obey is not to be obstinate in our own ways, but to yield to God so we are not obsolete. "Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life." --Proverbs 4:13

Book Description
There is no recent literature that underscores the transition from Pan-Africanism to Diaspora discourse. This book examines the gradual shift and four major transformations in the study of Pan-Africanism. It offers an "academic post-mortem" that seeks to gauge the extent to which Pan-Africanism overlaps with the study of the African Diaspora and reverse migrations; how Diaspora studies has penetrated various disciplines while Pan-Africanism is located on the periphery of the field. The book argues that the gradual shift from Pan-African discourses has created a new pathway for engaging Pan-African ideology from academic and social perspectives. Also, the book raises questions about the recent political waves that have swept across North Africa and their implications to the study of twenty-first century Pan-African solidarity on the African continent. The ways in which African institutions are attracting and mobilizing returnees and Pan-Africanists with incentives as dual-citizenship for diasporans to support reforms in Africa offers a new alternative approach for exploring Pan-African ideology in the twenty-first century. Returnees are also using these incentives to gain economic and cultural advantage. The book will appeal to policy makers, government institutions, research libraries, undergraduate and graduate students, and scholars from many different disciplines.

Book Description
The Place Called “There” We often think that our possessions are only physical or material either as a car, building, piece of land or other tangible assets. Just as physical possessions can be handed down generations, so also can spiritual secrets and assets be transferred like intellectual properties. There are hidden secrets from plain sight, revealed to those who by reason of use, have their senses exercised (Hebrews 5:14) to see, or/and hear, and then act. To these ones, it will belong and be entrusted because they are the ones who follow through the hidden secrets presented to them. ‘The Place Called There’ is a memoir of voyage of enduring faith and friendship with God, through ‘the wildernesses’ of advanced school of patience, trust, and perseverance (PTP).

Book Description
When addressing the factors shaping HIV prevention programs in sub-Saharan Africa, it is important to consider the role of family planning programs that preceded the epidemic. In this book, Rachel Sullivan Robinson argues that both globally and locally, those working to prevent HIV borrowed and adapted resources, discourses, and strategies used for family planning. By combining statistical analysis of all sub-Saharan African countries with comparative case studies of Malawi, Nigeria, and Senegal, Robinson also shows that the nature of countries' interactions with the international community, the strength and composition of civil society, and the existence of technocratic leaders influenced variation in responses to HIV. Specifically, historical and existing relationships with outside actors, the nature of nongovernmental organizations, and perceptions of previous interventions strongly structured later health interventions through processes of path dependence and policy feedback. This book will be of great use to scholars and practitioners interested in global health, international development, African studies and political science.
