What They Didn`t Tell You About Retirement by Jacob Kaimenyi
Every individual loves to have a job. Typically, this is achieved through self-employment and employment by other people, including public and private institutions. Having something to do daily adds spice and meaning to one’s life. Even though it is imperative for us to occasionally remember that we shall leave our jobs and adjust to leading another life after retirement, many people work every day without taking some moments to think seriously that
one day they will retire from their active life.
The purpose of this book is to provide pieces of advice on how to plan for retirement irrespective of one’s age; to illuminate on the consequences of not planning for retirement, the challenges which one encounters and how to successfully deal with them, and in general, to remind us that there is life after retirement. Life can either be exciting and fulfilling, or harsh and overwhelming, all depending on how we conduct ourselves in our days of active lives. The author further emphasizes the need to view life as continuation from one station to another, without focusing on an expiry date, as if it is an event or single contractual engagement.

Where are True Parents?
In Where are True Parents?, Augustine Rugutt explores ways in which parenting determines children’s behaviour and character beyond formative years. In doing so, he associates society’s changing value system, social pressures and use of technology with parenting outcomes, some of which are unpalatable in the eyes of society. He asks whether parents are truly aware of the impact of their conduct and action in shaping the future of their children.
A fundamental question is whether parents truly know their children. On the other hand, do children really understand their parents? Such understanding is essential for a sound foundation for society. He makes the irrefutable case that poorly parented children are likely to be poor parents themselves. He challenges parents to understand that parenting is a God-given responsibility. As such, parents owe it to the Maker and the future of society to play their role as parents guided by teachings from the Bible. Step by step advice, most of which is informed by his work with Church, is invaluable for today’s parent.

No girl is limited by Peter Mbuthia
This book is dedicated to the girl child. The two main characters are the dad and his daughter, where the dad is encouraging her to be a curious person, to be a critical thinker, and to ask questions with the view of gaining knowledge and elevating her self-esteem and confidence and therefore setting herself upon an exciting process of self - empowerment. In a society where the girl child faces ever-increasing challenges, she requires mentors who will walk with her as she is growing up. The girl needs to be affirmed that she is equally competitive and that her dreams are as valid as for those of everyone else. The first and most important line of mentoring should be her parents, especially her dad, who should be fully present and fully engaged in her life. Important lessons for how a girl will relate to the opposite gender are learned from her dad. If her dad treats her well, she will feel secure and confident. This book is relevant for the boy child as well, but the author intends to pay special attention to the girl child.
Selfhood Divinity of the Clitoris by Rev Timothy Njoya
What you need to know:
In his 802-page book: Selfhood; Divinity of the Clitoris, the retired minister of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) gives a rather revolutionary strategy to clean the Kenyan society of the vice in a country where one in three girls is at risk of the cut.
In his justification of the brazen title, Rev Njoya says he chose to use the word clitoris in its outright term to bring the message home to every man and woman on the effects of FGM.
Retired Rev. Timothy Njoya has taken a radical approach on ending Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Kenya.
In his 802-page book: Selfhood; Divinity of the Clitoris, the retired minister of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) gives a rather revolutionary strategy to clean the Kenyan society of the vice in a country where one in three girls is at risk of the cut.
In his justification of the brazen title, Rev Njoya says he chose to use the word clitoris in its outright term to bring the message home to every man and woman on the effects of FGM.
PIECE OF MEAT
“Clitoris is made in the image of God and it is divine,” he explains.
“To cut a woman and remove the clitoris is like taking a woman for a piece of meat.”
But why is it so important that a clitoris remains in its whole?
Rev. Njoya has a divinity answer to that.
“A woman’s clitoris has more than 20,000 nerve endings, while a penis is wired with only 2,000 nerve endings,” he states.
“The clitoris is wired to pull 60kg of pelvic bones apart and pull them back. Without the nerve endings, the muscles cannot pull apart…that is why 20 per cent of Kenyan women die during child birth because their pelvic bones have nothing to pull them apart when they are circumcised.”
The First 6 – A Parenting Playbook by Shalom Munyiri
The First 6 – A Parenting Playbook
On technology: Practically every child who is 0 to 6 years old in an urban setting was born to the presence of a smart phone. They could swipe a screen before they could wipe their noses. What’s your plan with regard to the use of, access and exposure to, or ownership of “technology” in your home? This includes all gadgets and any apps therein.
We have been programmed, with every likely action considered, when it comes to our online behaviour. The next few pages address some similarities between what tech is doing and what parents ought to be doing. We need to program or plan our children’s behaviour for them to survive both online and offline.
Breaking The Curse of Eve by Susan Wachira
This book is dedicated to believers in Christ who desire to raise children who can grow according to God’s will and purpose and fulfill their divine destiny.
The book is intended to provide a sense of ‘urgent hope’ as well as give a good challenge to believers in the body of Christ. The author writes from a point of deep spiritual knowledge and personal encounter with God. She is persuaded that there is a hemorrhage of purpose in the lives of many of God’s children. Many encounter spiritual limitations, physical afflictions and even premature death and all these are traceable to the curse of sin.
The text outlines the spiritual causes of infertility and barrenness that hinder the blessing of childbirth. She also identifies the root of human suffering that manifests right from conception of a child. She describes the forces that contend to cut short the lives of unborn babies through miscarriage, birth complications, neonatal deaths and even maternal deaths.
The author provides proven spiritual mindsets and disciplines that can keep the enemy from interfering with a believer’s heritage of sexual fruitfulness and fertility. She draws the reader’s attention to the effects of misplaced sexual practices such as fornication, adultery and other sexual perversions and offers biblical formulas for purification of our sexual foundations.
The book also examines the impact of inherited general cultures and practices that may affect the destiny of a child all the way to adulthood. She invites the Christian believer to be bold enough to make necessary spiritual injunctions which can alter the course of any evil cultural invocations.
The author concludes by sharing wisdom on how to lay a foundation for raising children who will grow in God’s design and purpose. Her writing seeks to persuade the Christian believer to re-examine the blessing of God released in the Garden of Eden, to understand how sin interfered with that blessing, to deal with patterns of sin through salvation, aggressive watchful prayer and devotional life, and to usher in the Christian’s full entitlement. The book reveals the pathway to the full blessing of God manifesting through peace, health and divine prosperity according to God’s revealed word.
The book speaks to young people who are entering into family life. It speaks to men and women who are daily dealing with spiritual attacks in the area of their reproductive health. It speaks to parents who are raising children amid interference from worldly patterns that seem to veer from the intended divine paths. It speaks to pastors and other spiritual caregivers who are daily seeking to impart believers for effective blessed living.
Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson
If you grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or selfish parent, you may have lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment. You may recall your childhood as a time when your emotional needs were not met, when your feelings were dismissed, or when you took on adult levels of responsibility in an effort to compensate for your parent’s behavior. These wounds can be healed, and you can move forward in your life.
In this breakthrough book, clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson exposes the destructive nature of parents who are emotionally immature or unavailable. You will see how these parents create a sense of neglect, and discover ways to heal from the pain and confusion caused by your childhood. By freeing yourself from your parents’ emotional immaturity, you can recover your true nature, control how you react to them, and avoid disappointment. Finally, you’ll learn how to create positive, new relationships so you can build a better life.
Discover the four types of difficult parents:
- The emotional parent instills feelings of instability and anxiety
- The driven parent stays busy trying to perfect everything and everyone
- The passive parent avoids dealing with anything upsetting
- The rejecting parent is withdrawn, dismissive, and derogatory
The Essential First Year
As many of us become parents at a later stage, when our adult lives are well established, the arrival of a baby brings an unpredictability that can be hard to cope with. Those who are used to managing their time in the workplace can be tempted to try to manage their infant in the same way. So-called "controlled crying" has been recommended by many recent childcare guides, but parents should be aware of the high cost of such methods to their baby.
In The Essential First Year Penelope Leach shows parents how they can reach a harmonious balance between their baby's needs and their own. While babies and their needs have not changed, our lifestyles have, and Penelope Leach has written the perfect manual for busy 21st century parents, which spans from pregnancy to the child's first birthday. The book is a gentle, but timely reminder that the fundamental purpose of having children is to share happiness. The happier a baby is, the more parents will enjoy being with him or her; being responsive to one's baby does not mean that it has to be at personal expense - the happiness of parents and baby is inextricably intertwined.
The Essential First Year is not just full of sensible, practical advice, it is backed by more than ten years of new research into infant development, especially in brain growth, which now confirms, for instance, just how much fathers matter to their infant's progress, how girls' and boys' brains are different at birth (and develop differently) and how helping a baby to be calm, contented, amused, and interested leads to optimum development of body and brain. Using such information, Penelope Leach shows parents how to deal with problems as well as how to prevent them. Every parent wants to do the best for their baby and for the child that the baby will become.
The Essential First Year gives parents the knowledge and the tools to nurture and care for every aspect of their infant's life - to meet the baby's physical needs, to stimulate their intellectual development and ensure their emotional well-being - and most importantly, The Essential First Year helps parents to simply enjoy being parents.
