| Bibilical Dimensions Of Stewardship – 359 pages
The book “Biblical Dimensions of Stewardship” is about the major service man was created for and how accountable he is to God. It is a piece of literature that every truth seeker in the area of stewardship must read. The Word of God clearly states that “the earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). Man is not the owner of the earth but just a care-taker or manager of what belongs to the Creator. Nowadays there are philosophers who do not know or pretend not to know the biblical facts about the origin of humans. There is enough biblical evidence proving that humans were created by God. Man was created perfect and righteous; however, the entrance of sin marred the original nature of man as well as his responsibility as a steward of God. He lost his original state and responsibility. Humans were created in the image and likeness of God in order for them to serve as stewards of God’s creation (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:15). As a result, humans are in two major categories: good and bad stewards. This book explains how man can reclaim his lost position as God’s steward. It is written in simple and straightforward language without jargons. It discusses how a steward can be formed or recreated. The praxis of true stewards is clearly explained in all major angles. It is only after you have read this through to the end that you will appreciate the effort of the author. Enjoy discovering the “dimensions of true stewardship” in these pages.

| God's Divine Rescue Strategy – 108 pages
The most famous Bible text is John 3:16. “For God so loved the world that He gave…” What necessitated that giving by the Creator to His creation? In this book, “God’s Divine Rescue Strategy”, Dr Clement N. Imolo brings to the reader the plan of redemption by focusing on the subject of salvation. Salvation is delved into as exemplified in the Bible, from before the fall of man to man’s condition afterwards. The question of whether or not salvation was an afterthought in God’s mind or it was birthed from before the world was created is clearly settled. Hence, the title of the book, “God’s Divine Rescue Strategy”. In addition, salvation as understood and taught in some of the world’s major religions like Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, is contrasted with Christianity’s doctrines and teachings. The Bible states plainly that there is no salvation without Jesus Christ: “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name given under heaven among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The author expounds on this topic with reference to grace (unmerited favour) and to the seven salvific steps one needs to take to attain salvation. These steps include hearing the word of God, believing and accepting the word, repentance, and confession and forsaking of one’s sins. May you, the reader, be edified as you unearth spiritual nuggets in this life-affirming work.

This book, “Qualities of God’s True Witness,” is one for the library; for the home, high school, and the college/university library. It functions as both a great reference resource and an engaging read for any person. When it comes to leadership, qualities such as having empathy, possessing excellent communication skills, self-discipline and being discontent with the status quo are delved into meticulously. As a missionary, one must be a risk-taker, have loyalty and creativity seeping in his/her veins, and must be about personal growth. A few Biblical and historical missionaries, such as Abraham, Saul (who was also called Paul) and William Carey, are considered in this work. The relevance of the contents of this book are not lost on the reader as they turn page after page. The qualities discussed have value, not only for the missionary or the believer in God, but every human being in their diverse arenas of life; whether that arena is one’s occupation or familial and romantic relationships, humanitarian endeavours, etc. There is a great usefulness to be gained by reading this book.
| The Extra Ordinary Apostle – 116 pages
“The Extraordinary Apostle” is an insightful book about the unique apostleship of Paul. Although the author acknowledges the apparent scanty information concerning Paul’s life prior to his acclaimed extraordinary encounter with Jesus, the book unravels fresh perspectives about the Saul of Tarsus – the man who came to be famously and commonly known as Paul shortly after being conferred with the commission to be an apostle. The book’s assertive portrayal of some unique aspects of Paul’s life is premised on the corroborative citation of some church history scholars and theologians. The author draws the reader’s attention to Paul’s special ministry focus. Paul was, by and large, mainly an apostle per excellence to the Gentiles and Greek-speaking diaspora in the Greco-Roman world. It is interesting to follow the book’s exposition of Paul’s ministry that ranged across the divergent spectrum encompassing the former Judaizing pharisee to a proponent of salvation by grace alone through Jesus Christ. The author’s analysis of the formative years of the apostle presents an identity of Paul worthy reading about. The book shows how a converted Paul exceeded the performance, effectiveness and apostolic stature of many of his contemporary apostles and, as is clearly apparent in the book, all gospel workers in Christian history. Brace yourself, therefore, to be inspired and motivated for mission.

| Biblical Concepts Of Church Member Retention – 218 pages
This book is about church member retention. The Great commission is the heart of the life of the church. Since its birth, the religion of Christianity has proven to be one of the religions with the best methods of reaching out to all people in the world. However, research shows that more than a quarter of the members recruited on an annually basis is lost back to the secular world due to poor or no retention methods. This book is an answer to the long-sought approaches of retaining members in the fold. It discusses practical tested approaches for member retention. The mission of the church is explained in a way that places the divine rescue strategy and member retention at the center of the Lord’s assignment to the church. The roles that leaders should play in order to retain members in the fold are well discussed. James A. Cress says, “New members, like new babies, must be nurtured, trained, equipped, and deployed into service if they are to become true disciples.” This book is all about this grand assignment. I, therefore, recommend this book to be read by all church members and leaders who cherish the affirmation of the central biblical imperative in Mathew 28:18-20.
