Young Adults Category
Books for young adults. Note: Find a separate list for children and teenagers here.
The Young Adults category brings together five timely voices speaking to purpose, obedience, identity, and calling—where faith meets real life. From the discipline of intentional thinking in Conceive Achieve and its youth-focused companion Conceive Achieve for Teens, to the quiet but powerful surrender explored in Yes Lord, these books remind young people that destiny is not accidental. Young and Crazy in Love with Jesus redefines holiness as joyful and freeing, while Your Story Can Change offers hope to anyone who believes their past has disqualified them. Together, these reads form a gentle but firm invitation to align the mind, submit the heart, and walk boldly in God’s calling—one obedient yes at a time.

Our Featured Books
Family + Gender Category
Books on marriage and parenting
The Family & Gender category brings together four honest, faith-rooted conversations on marriage, identity, and generational healing. Marriage, Thistles & Flowers – Barnabas & Grace Achoki (Kenya) reminds us that marriage is cultivated through seasons of beauty and challenge, while Pre-Marital Wisdom – Tafadzwa Rwizi (Zimbabwe) calls readers to prepare the heart long before the wedding day. A Diary of a Called Woman – Khanyo Ndlela (South Africa) speaks tenderly to womanhood as a divine calling anchored in obedience, and The Father’s Heart – Oluoch Oketch (Kenya) brings the often-neglected conversation of fatherhood to the centre of family restoration. Together, these books offer wisdom for building homes that are intentional, healed, and firmly rooted in God’s design for family.

Missions, Devotionals & Pastors Category
Fuel for faith, ministry, discipleship, and the secret place
The Missions, Devotionals & Pastors category brings together two spiritually weighty works that call believers back to depth, devotion, and divine alignment. Fire in the Pulpit – Dr. Onkeme Letshwiti (Botswana) challenges ministers to recover the fire, authority, and reverence of the pulpit as an altar, while The Favoured Woman Devotional – ACABA Authors (Kenya, Uganda & South Africa) offers a gentle yet powerful daily reminder of God’s favour, presence, and sustaining grace in the life of a woman. Together, these books strengthen both the public call to preach and the private life of devotion—where true ministry is first formed.

Mental Health Category
Mental health and Christians in other disciplines
The Mental Health category brings together three compassionate voices calling readers toward honesty, healing, and restored identity. In Search of Sanity – Begumisa Musinguzi (Uganda) gently explores the journey back to balance and clarity when the mind feels overwhelmed, while Healing or Hiding – Mabel Masigale (Zimbabwe) confronts the quiet habits of avoidance that delay true restoration. Redefine Your Worth – Stanley Mkhwanazi (Eswatini) anchors personal value in God’s truth rather than pain, performance, or past wounds. Together, these books offer a safe, faith-rooted space for reflection, courage, and the rediscovery of wholeness.

Other Disciplines: Writing Class
The Other Disciplines category celebrates the quieter, often unseen work that shapes calling and craft. A Writer’s Journal – Jackline Ingasian (Kenya) offers a reflective space where creativity meets discipline, inviting writers to slow down, listen deeply, and steward their gift with intention. More than a notebook, it is a companion for those who understand that writing is both a spiritual practice and a labour of faith—one page, one prayer, one honest sentence at a time.

Christian Living + Poetry + Fiction Category
Everyday faith, artful words, and stories that stay with you
The Christian Living, Poetry & Fiction category gathers three reflective works that express faith through testimony, contemplation, and obedient living. Inspired by Forty – Richard Mwebesa (Uganda) offers a poetic reflection on seasons of life and God’s steady faithfulness, while Blessed to Be a Blessing – Samuel Asena (Kenya) reminds believers that blessing is a calling meant to flow outward in generosity and service. Obeying God – Orowhe Blessing (Nigeria) anchors the category with a simple but profound truth: obedience is the pathway to alignment and fruitfulness. Together, these books invite readers to live their faith thoughtfully, generously, and faithfully—one surrendered step at a time.

Biographies Category
Lives that preach without shouting—testimonies, journeys, and legacy
The Biographies category brings together three deeply personal journeys that testify to God’s power to interrupt, realign, and redeem a life. His Story, My Life – Zinhle Ramashala (South Africa) reflects a life reshaped by surrender when God’s narrative takes precedence, while Jesus Killed My Business – Dr. Muthoni Omukhango (Kenya) chronicles the costly yet liberating exchange of personal ambition for divine purpose. Wired Weird – Wairimu Kanyi (Kenya) adds a refreshing voice on identity, reminding readers that being different is often part of God’s design. Together, these biographies affirm that obedience may disrupt comfort, but it always leads to meaning, restoration, and a story worth telling.

Jesus Killed My Business
But Gave Me His Kingdom Business
by Dr. Muthoni Omukhango
“This book was both unsettling and deeply liberating.”
Jesus Killed My Business is not an attack on work, ambition, or excellence. It is an honest and courageous testimony of what happens when God lovingly interrupts our carefully constructed plans and replaces them with His own.
With humility and spiritual clarity, the author draws a clear distinction between building something for God and surrendering fully to God’s assignment—even when that surrender costs comfort, income, or reputation.
The book challenges modern definitions of success and exposes how even good things, including business and ministry, can quietly become substitutes for obedience. Scripture is applied thoughtfully, not decoratively, and the lessons linger long after the final page.
This is a timely and necessary read for Christian professionals, entrepreneurs, and ministry leaders who sense a divine call to realignment. God’s will may not always be profitable in worldly terms—but it is always purposeful.
Reviewed by: Sample Reader
Readers earn points for every completed book review. Points accumulate and can be redeemed at the Annual Book Fests at the end of the year.
Highly recommended for anyone navigating faith, calling, and surrender in the marketplace.
