Two books on godly devotion and leadership will be presented in Lagos April 19, the latest addition to Christian literature in Nigeria. The books, Take My Boss; Give me Nehemiah and No 23 discuss effective leadership in spiritual and secular settings and Psalm 23, arguably the most popular psalm in the Bible.

They are the latest offerings by Precious Okolobo, who has already published four books, among them Fear Not, a faith-based testimony of cancer survival. “These works are an external expression of an internal impression on the urgent needs of society today,” Okolobo said.
“The lessons from Nehemiah’s achievements point us in the right direction towards good leadership, while there is something for everyone in the expose on Psalm 23 — for the first-time reader to the seeker of the deep truths in David’s mind when he wrote what has turned out to be the sweetest psalm.”

The foreword to the book on leadership was written by the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Nigeria, Rev Abel Amadi (PhD). He says: “The world, (and especially our country Nigeria), is in need of leadership – leadership that is rooted in righteousness, free of corruption, and transformational enough not just to actualise vision but to give hope of greatness to the country as a whole and to every single individual that lives in it.”

Similarly, a former General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Nigeria, Rev Chidi Okoroafor (PhD), wrote the foreword to the book on Psalm 23, and will also be the guest minister at the public presentation on April 19.

President of the Association of Nigerian Christian Authors and Publishers Wole Adedoyin welcomed the books as “significant contributions to the pursuit of devotion and service to God.”
