Battle Ownership

Lazarus Takawira | Date: | 1

This book unpacks some valuable lessons on the nature of God and how some battles if not most of them do not belong to us but to God and how through faith and obedience we can live to see the great God and loving God fight on our behalf. Through this book, I envisage every reader coming to the knowledge of God as a Father who protects us, and I desire that from here forth, we will respond to life’s battles and situations, in the same manner, King Jehoshaphat and Judah did in 2 Chronicles 20.

The Public Servant

Lazarus Takawira | Date: 2017-08-28 00:00:00 | 2

I have attended countless leadership seminars and I have read a dozen scripts on leadership. I have succumbed to the 101s, 102s and the ‘what what’s’ of leadership which in all fairness have strengthened my leadership stamina, yet I have always felt there was a missing script and voice in the rather dense leadership library.The Public Servant takes special focus on ‘SERVICE’ and what it truly means to be a servant leader. Leadership without a following is null and at best loitering. Leadership grounded and rooted in honest and whole hearted service is true leadership or perhaps it should be spelt as ‘LeaderSHEEP’? In this book, great service, influential service, the absolute rooting system of a leader and the dirty hands approach to leadership among many other subjects will be put under the microscope with the sole goal to encourage servant-heart in leadership. The Public Servant!

Far too many issues affecting and shaping our social constructs are swept under the rug. In fact, the rug cannot hide it anymore! Often in the bid to avoid the hard conversations, we end up taking on the hard, painful, and forlorn journey of life.

A Village On My Shoulders is not a conversation for the politically correct but a brave conversation unveiling many issues deemed taboo affecting the young working adults particularly the African child. From Bait to Back pains, from Woes of weights to Smoke that thunders, from The chocking effect to The Economics of suffering, from Cages of commons to Payback time and from Men don’t cry to The helpline, an unfiltered conversation, and norm-challenging conversation is sure to transform your life. This book is well thought out, researched, and passionately put to help the young and old in dealing with society’s burdensome expectations, and all sorts of pressures of life that have too many a times robbed people of a sustainable, debt free life and left many in depression or worse.

Born To Fly

Kgomotso Phatsima | Date: 2019-12-03 00:00:00 | 4

Born in a village but destined for the global stage, broken but still believing and ruled out, yet still in the running, for life’s greatness. Born To Fly is an amalgamation of the simple and honest stories of a mere village girl from a small rural community in Botswana called Ledumadumane who rose, and continues to rise, beyond the normal dictates of an African social construct, to claim her place in the history books and in the process set an example for every young person who is disadvantaged or feels likewise. Born To Fly does not shy away from exposing personal failures and the painful moments that have shaped one of Botswana’s first female Military pilots. The book challenges everyone to dare to dream and to keep soldiering on, no matter what life throws their way.

SHADOWS IN THE DARK

Neo Mosweu | Date: 2022-12-06 00:00:00 | 1

There are many theories pertaining to the existence of the physical and non-physical realms through science, philosophy, and religion, and inevitably this leads to the rift in how the interaction of entities in the universe is understood. Approaches differ based on the fundamentals that make up the sympathetic alliance that defines where we come from, why we are here and where we may end. It is not an overstatement to say that ‘wars have been waged’ because of this one subject matter; more questions have been asked and fewer answers have been established. Over time, science, philosophy, and religion have found the rift between them becoming narrower even though entitlement to defend a standpoint has made it difficult to admit we are possibly at odds about a topic that should unite us. There are many theories and beliefs pertaining to the existence of the universe, nature, and beings but we have never been further away from finding a uniting point as we are in this millennium. This book acknowledges that these forces, or energies, do influence life even though we do not always know what they mean, but ignoring their presence and influence will not make them less significant. We have been at odds for so long that sometimes it seems the only reason we are at odds is because it is the only thing we know how to do. We have been conditioned for so long to defend entitlement to our own beliefs that we totally disregard the simple question of ‘What if we’re not as different as we thought?’ In fact, what if we are not different at all and the only thing that is different is the sympathetic alliance we pledge? ‘Shadows in the Dark’ will take you through this difficult but must-have discussion and through carefully chosen subjects we will initiate a conversation that has been ignorantly and conveniently avoided and, in some instances, swept under the rug for far too long.

The Treasure Within

Selinah Warmann | Date: 2022-09-15 00:00:00 | 1

Countless lives have come and gone without realizing their fullest potential. The graveyards are filled with remains of lives that were never truly lived. Dreams never realized, destinies never reached, and talents never uncovered, is the sad norm of almost every other life near its demise. The harsh and brutal challenges of life inevitably push many into a shell of just surviving and getting by. For some, it is a past marred with seemingly irreversible and irredeemable mistakes that take their life away long before they take their last breath. The truth is that we are never designed to just get by, and God certainly did not create anyone for a substandard life. The Treasure Within is a heartfelt call to live and relive a life of impact, significance, and fulfillment. If you have erred in the past, then this is for you. If you need a little bit of push to get you going, then this book offers more than that. The Treasure Within will take you through some real-life stories that are sure to leave your jaws on the floor, your heart warm, and your mind determined to do something, and something great. Through well-crafted and richly written chapters such as Seeds of impact, Dogged determination, and The road to Damascus, among many others, the treasure within you will be unraveled!

The menstrual cycle is magical! It governs every aspect of a woman’s lived experience during her reproductive years, and it is the seat of her feminine superpowers. Unfortunately, many women are living in a culture that does not honour menstruation and have thus become disconnected from their menstrual cycle.

The Women’s Book is all about reclaiming our menstrual magic and celebrating our womanhood. TWB includes a phase-specific guide to help you navigate through your menstrual cycle with ease and self-love. You can revisit the relevant phase during that time in your own cycle for tips, tricks, and supportive practices.

LIFE PRINCIPLES FROM THE BOOK OF BEGINNINGS – GENESIS

Peo Pillar | Date: 2023-07-07 00:00:00 | 2

I can vividly remember the 9th of October 2010 while attending a conference in Durban, South Africa together with my husband. In the early hours of that day, I had a vision in which a book was laid before me, including its cover and chapters. In that book, I saw the sunset bringing forth an overwhelming light that consumed the darkness on earth, like the beginning of a new chapter. This was an incredible sight and an awakening moment. I lay there and watched as the vision unfolded followed by the book title that was revealed to me in descending order, LIFE PRINCIPLES FROM THE BOOK OF BEGINNINGS - ‘GENESIS’. I have never had a clearer vision than that! As if that was not enough, the vision continued and this time showed me chapters within the book one by one and not only the titles of each chapter but the contents of the chapters too. This book is more than your average writing but a Holy Spirit-inspired and God-directed book that will equip you with powerful principles of God.

The Trail: Live, Learn, Lead

Jonathan Ndali | Date: 2024-02-13 00:00:00 | 2

The truth is if you do not perform your functions as a leader, then you are not a leader. You can be called a team leader, but you are not a true leader. You can be called a minister, but you are not a leader. You can have the position of a CEO or Director, but you are not a leader. Leadership is not about titles and positions; leadership is about effectively carrying out your leadership functions. This book aims at highlighting leadership deficiencies and providing solutions to combat those problems. More than 15 years of learning about and leading people of different cultures, calibres, backgrounds, and countries, has taught me why it is important for our generation to understand what effective leadership is. Additionally, how one can become effective in their leadership. Talk is cheap; anyone can talk. However, acting is a painstaking process only effective leaders are willing to go through. The difference between effective and ineffective leaders is the distance between talking and doing. Effective leadership is about performing what you profess. By reading this book, I believe that you will be challenged to lead effectively in your area of leadership, but also challenge others to become effective leaders. If everything rises and falls on leadership, then leadership is the one aspect of our lives that we cannot afford to ignore. We need to pay close attention to it, by directing our resources effectively to ensure we are functioning optimally all the time.

Dance: Tests, Tears & Triumph

Cynthia Abednego-Kgagodi | Date: 2024-02-15 00:00:00 | 2

In every painful and difficult season, where challenges loom like dark clouds, there exists a dance that unfolds in the storm. This book, “Dance: Tests, Tears & Triumph" bears witness to a journey of resilience, and to the enduring spirit that finds strength in faith and hope. Amidst the trials that threaten to drown the soul, and through the tears that fall like raindrops, characters rise. With uncertainty and being stuck between a rock and a hard place, there lies a chance for triumph. The title “Dance: Tests, Tears & Triumph" hereby resonates with the heartbeat of perseverance. Dance encourages readers to treat life like a moving ambulance with a ringing siren, and to move swiftly with urgency to navigate all challenges with an alert and active mindset aimed towards the finish line. The title highlights that even in the darkest moments there is a divine choreography, a dance in the storm, that leads to a sanctuary of light and redemption. Challenges will always come, but we make the choice to fight or flee. In this book, I bare my soul by recounting intimate details from a life marked by struggle. This includes the absence of a father, nursing a sick child, dealing with the loss of my mother, meeting people who changed my life for the better, believing a lie about my weight, and ultimately finding purpose and identity in faith and hope. This book stands as a diary of some of the storms where faith has been battered, bruised, and tested.
