Book Description
The Gods Had Gone to Sleep is an African story narrated in a distinct dramatic style. The story is full of actions and dialogues married by philosophical thoughts relative to the norms from an African society. The story is set in Wasoya. Dele Kogbe has made a signal contribution to the exploration of the nature and future of Africana philosophy, which refi nes the intellectual life of our ancient Motherlands civilization and culture -Terrence Wendell Brathwaite, Founding Programme Manager, MBA Degree in Global Development & Comparative Law, Coventry Business School, Coventry University, UK. The God Had Gone to Sleep is a good story rooted in Yoruba custom and tradition, enlivens the mind of the readers as it unveils and resolves tension associated with kingship and dictatorship - Moshood Folorunsho, author of When the Melon Speaks (A play) and Programme Offi cer, Educare Trust, Nigeria. This is a really lovely book, I have enjoyed reading. There is an established African style, which adds to the telling of a Nigerian story, I would not say that it should be anglicised as the style adds fl avour and character ...good language and the ability to tell a story, build tension and so on. Well done, Dele, you clearly have talent as a writer -Angela Marshall, Senior Lecturer in Law, Coventry University, UK

Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With?

Book Description
Answers one of the biggest barriers to belief. Christians are increasingly seen as outdated, restrictive and judgmental when it comes to sex before marriage, cohabitation and homosexuality. In fact for many people, this issue is one of the biggest barriers for them considering Christianity. Sam Allberry, author of many books including Is God Anti-gay sets out God's good design for the expression of human sexuality, showing that God himself is love and that only he can satisfy our deepest desires. It is a great reminder of the Bible's positive blueprint for love, sex and marriage and ideal for giving away to people who may see this as a stumbling block for belief.

Chasing a God You Don't Want to Catch
Author: Darren Wilson
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 078523313X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
We Are So Quick to Say We Want “More” of God, but Is That Really True? As strange as it may sound, the most misunderstood, misrepresented, and potentially the most feared person in Christianity may very well be God Himself. Even seasoned Christians often view God as frightening, untrustworthy, and distant. But nothing could be further from the truth. Author and filmmaker Darren Wilson takes a funny yet poignant romp through Scripture, revealing a long-time Christian’s hang-ups and fears of a God he was supposed to love. Wilson looks at questions such as: Is God selfish, silent, distant, and constantly disappointed in you? How do you love someone you can’t see and who has the power to punish you at any moment? How can a loving God throw people into hell simply for not believing in Him? Wilson encourages readers to be honest with themselves and with God. He challenges us to face the things many Christians struggle with but are too afraid to talk about because everyone else seems to have this faith thing figured out. He believes God isn’t afraid of our questions, doubts, fears, or even our anger. The secret to peace and friendship with God lies in understanding who He really is.
