Ashes of Middle East: How Empires and...
They came for oil and left behind ghosts.
From the deserts of Arabia to the ruins of Gaza, from the mountains of Afghanistan to the banks of the Nile, this is the untold chronicle of how power, greed, and silence conspired to set a region on fire.
In Ashes of the Middle East, Hardev Panesar traces a century of betrayal — colonial borders drawn in ink and blood, dictators rising and falling under foreign hands, and empires old and new feeding on the world’s most contested resource: oil, the “liquid gold.”
Blending history, reportage, and moral witness, Panesar takes readers through the wreckage of Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and beyond. He reveals how Western intervention and regional ambition reduced nations to rubble and turned millions into refugees. Yet amid the ruins, he finds what no bomb can kill — the courage of ordinary men and women who continue to rebuild and remember.
At once indictment and elegy, Ashes of the Middle East ends with a call that history can no longer ignore: those who profited from destruction must pay the price of restoration. It is both a requiem for the dead and a manifesto for the living.
“The Middle East may lie in ashes, but its people still breathe truth — and truth, once spoken, is the one fire no tyrant can extinguish.”
Burkina Faso Unchained: The Defiant S...
He refuses to bow to foreign powers. He puts his people above all else. He speaks with courage on the world stage, demanding respect for his nation and for Africa.
This is the story of Ibrahim Traoré, a leader forged from humble beginnings, shaped by education, discipline, and vision, who has transformed Burkina Faso into a nation free from debt, independent in policy, and proud in spirit.
Burkina Faso Unchained is more than a biography—it is a testament to principled leadership, sovereignty, and the power of a people determined to shape their own destiny.
ENGRAVED-God’s Name, God’s Glory, God...
African Interest, International Bestsellers, Personal Christian Testimony & Popular Inspirational Works, Religion & Spiritual
When Scripture stops being studied — and starts speaking.
Birthed from a quiet morning devotion and a burning curiosity stirred by Isaiah 47–49, ENGRAVED unfolds as a breathtaking encounter with the Living God — the God who speaks through silence, refines through fire, and remembers through covenant love.
From Babylon’s ruins to the very palms of God’s hands, this book traces the dramatic arc of divine revelation: His jealousy for His glory, His unwavering justice, His tenderness toward the engraved. It invites readers to explore the mystery of God’s self-revelation — not as distant theology, but as living truth that reshapes how we see pain, waiting, purpose, and worship.
Blending scriptural study, devotional warmth, and timeless insight from voices old and new, ENGRAVED is more than a reflection — it is a journey. A call to rediscover the Holy One who will not share His glory, yet shares His heart with those who seek Him.
Whether you are a student of Scripture, a weary pilgrim, or simply hungry to know God beyond words, this book will draw you into a deeper, transforming awareness of His ways.
You will not read Isaiah the same way again.
You will not see yourself the same way again.
You are engraved — on His hands, in His purpose, within His glory.

African Interest, International Bestsellers, Personal Christian Testimony & Popular Inspirational Works, Religion & Spiritual
What did Jesus really mean when He said, “This is My body”?
For centuries, Christians have gathered around bread and wine — but they have disagreed on what actually happens at the Lord’s Table. Is it just a symbol? Is it the literal body of Christ? Or something more mysterious?
In This Is My Body?, Winstone takes readers on a gripping journey through Scripture, church history, and modern practice to recover the beauty, truth, and transforming power of Holy Communion.
With warmth, clarity, and deep reverence, this book untangles centuries of debate and invites readers to encounter the crucified and risen Christ — not in ritual repetition, but in living remembrance and life-changing faith.
Whether you are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Pentecostal, Evangelical or just spiritually curious, this book will deepen your awe, sharpen your understanding, and renew your hunger for the Bread of Life.
From Lips to Life- The Moral Ecology ...
African Interest, International Bestsellers, Personal Christian Testimony & Popular Inspirational Works, Religion & Spiritual
Words are never neutral. They build or break, heal or harm, reveal or conceal. In From Lips to Life: The Moral Ecology of Proverbs 15, Winstone Sharrad invites readers into a deep yet devotional exploration of one of Scripture’s most penetrating wisdom chapters — a passage that exposes how speech, emotion, conduct, and reverence intertwine to form the moral ecosystem of life.
Drawing from Hebrew word studies, theological reflection, and timeless insights from Church Fathers such as Augustine, Gregory the Great, and Chrysostom, this book reveals Proverbs 15 as more than ancient advice — it is a living mirror reflecting the state of the human heart. Through carefully woven commentary, exegesis, and reflective cues, Winstone unpacks how gentle words disarm anger, how divine oversight steadies conscience, and how humility becomes the gateway to honour.
Written with both scholarly precision and pastoral warmth, From Lips to Life bridges the worlds of theology and devotion, ancient wisdom and modern relevance. Each section guides the reader into self-examination, conversation, and spiritual growth — perfect for personal study, small groups, or anyone seeking to live wisely in a noisy world.
At its heart lies a profound invitation:
to speak with grace, listen with humility, and live in alignment with the divine order that sustains all creation

African Interest, International Bestsellers, Personal Christian Testimony & Popular Inspirational Works, Religion & Spiritual
We live in a stained world. Corruption, compromise, and hidden fractures run through families, nations, and even the hearts of those who long for purity. White Linen, Black Stains is a piercing exploration of the tension between human weakness and divine covering.
Drawing from the timeless imagery of Scripture, this book unpacks how God’s people are called to walk in white garments even as life’s stains threaten to overwhelm. With unflinching honesty and remarkable hope, it examines the cost of compromise, the weight of leadership failures, and the unrelenting grace that still weaves redemption into our stories.
This is not a book of easy answers—it is a call to courage, integrity, and surrender in an age where shadows grow darker and the need for God’s light is greater than ever.
Whether you are a leader navigating public responsibility, a believer wrestling with hidden struggles, or a seeker searching for truth, White Linen, Black Stains will open your eyes to both the danger of unchecked stains and the power of God’s covering.
A prophetic, timely, and deeply human work—this book dares to say what many only whisper and invites you to step into the radiant garments only God can give.

Delayed Justice: Case Backlog In Ugan...
This book is a derivative of the author's thesis that was originally submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of a degree of Master of Laws of Makerere University. The broad objective of the study was to examine the causes of case backlog in the Judiciary and its implications on the right to due process in Uganda. The specific objectives were to investigate why case backlog is steadily increasing in the Judiciary; to evaluate the effects of case backlog on the right to due process and to explore and recommend urgent interventions to alleviate the problem. The author then acknowledged that across the world, the right to a fair trial has been the subject of interpretation and adjudication than most of the other rights. The Judiciary in any given democratic state is the body mandated to interpret the law, and to ensure that citizens benefit from due process. Unfortunately every Judiciary in the world is bogged down with the menace of case backlog. The study investigated the concept of case backlog and its impact on the right to due process and advanced different strategies in mitigation. On top of preserving elements of the original content, this expanded edition of the book highlights the different developments that have transpired since the thesis was submitted in 2012. It reflects new information arising from the recommendations made in the master's thesis and the gaps thereof. This book is restructured from its original academic approach to a less scholarly approach that appeals to all readers that are curious to learn about Uganda's Judicial system and particularly about the case backlog situation, which remains one of the most excruciating thorn in the Judiciary's feet.
From the Shallows to the River- A Cal...
What happens when a forgotten dream and an ancient prophecy collide?
From the Shallows to the River is a reflective, Scripture-rooted discourse that weaves a vivid personal dream with Ezekiel’s vision of the life-giving river and Jesus’ letters to the seven churches in Revelation. Written in a human, pastoral tone, this work explores the quiet crisis of spiritual stagnation—busy churches without life, beautiful structures without fruit, growing crowds without discernment.
More than critique, it is a call: to leave shallow waters, to trust the depths of God’s Spirit, and to become living channels through which healing, truth, and harvest can flow.
This is not a message of condemnation—but an invitation to swim.
The Unfortunate Tale of EVINGA & ...
In the quiet village of Ebwali, children knew the rules of the land…
Do your chores.
Return before dusk.
Never wander near Luanda rocks.
But Evinga was not like the others.
She laughed at warnings.
She loved adventure.
She believed nothing could happen to her.
Until one evening, deep in the bush, a beast called Linani awakened…
And Mama Evinga’s cries would echo through the night forever:
“Evinga E-vinga… Evinga mwana wange ..Evinga ....Linani…”
A chilling folktale of obedience, wisdom, and the dangers that hide beyond forbidden paths.
Africa: War and Conflict in the Twent...
This book examines the causes, course and consequences of warfare in twentieth century Africa, a period which spanned colonial rebellions, both World Wars, and the decolonization process. Timothy Stapleton contextualizes the essential debates and controversies surrounding African conflict in the twentieth century while providing insightful introductions to such conflicts as:
African rebellions against colonial regimes in the early twentieth century, including the rebellion and infamous genocide of the Herero and Nama people in present-day Namibia;
The African fronts of World War I and World War II, and the involvement of colonized African peoples in these global conflicts;
Conflict surrounding the widespread decolonization of Africa in the 1950s and 1960s;
Rebellion and civil war in Africa during the Cold War, when American and Soviet elements often intervened in efforts to turn African battlegrounds into Cold War proxy conflicts;
The Second Congo Civil War, which is arguably the bloodiest conflict in any region since World War II;
Supported by a glossary, a who’s who of key figures, a timeline of major events, a rich bibliography, and a set of documents which highlight the themes of the book, Africa: War and Conflict in the Twentieth Century is the best available resource for students and scholars seeking an introduction to violent conflict in recent African history.
Reinventing Uganda: Political Imagina...
In April 1979, as Idi Amin’s government crumbled in the face of the Tanzanian military advance, a moment of opportunity opened. After years of dictatorship and terrifying violence, Ugandans had the opportunity to start again. This book attempts to do justice to the multiple ways in which they imagined their future at the time, before the tragic end to these turbulent months—Milton Obote’s fraudulent election and the start of the civil war.
For the first time in many years, men and – to a lesser extent – women were able to ask critical questions about what it might mean to be Ugandan, how state and society should be organised, about who should hold authority—and in the name of what. This was a time of fear and economic deprivation, in an international context largely defined by the Cold War and the emergence of neoliberalism. But it was also a time of hope, and of the flourishing of political imagination that would nurture the public debate for many years to come.

Indian Africa: Minorites of Indian-Pa...
This book aims at painting a broad picture of the communities of Indian origin in East Africa, striving to include changes that have occurred since the end of the 1980s. The different contributions explore questions of race and citizenship, national loyalties and cosmopolitan identities, local attachment and transnational networks.

This book is a must-read for contemporary researchers, students, policy practioners as well as the general reader.

The Savanna of Silent Altars
The Savannah of silent Altars by Tobias otieno ogola traces the life of Kamau Otieno and Nyambura Beatrice, a family navigating the delicate balance between survival, faith, and moral endurance. Across counties from Migori to Kisumu, through the dust of rural villages, the bustle of cities, and the quiet flow of rivers, they face the unrelenting weight of government neglect, scarcity, and exploitative traditions.
Their children Akinyi Grace, Anyango Mary, and Obiero Daniel move through these worlds with watchful eyes, learning the subtle currents of obedience, hope, and endurance. Miracles are whispered, altars demand faith, and exploitative figures test both courage and moral resolve. Life unfolds as a careful negotiation: a rhythm of hunger, labor, ritual, and quiet resilience, reflecting the struggles that shape everyday existence.
This is a lyrical, socially conscious narrative, where personal tragedy mirrors systemic failure, and ordinary life becomes extraordinary through observation, survival, and the quiet insistence of human dignity.
