2024 Afrika Redefined Indie Book Prize shortlisted book:

ONE Mysterious belt in an antique shop in London is a compass to secret caves of the Amalek tribe in Sibiloi, Northern Kenya.

FOUR Researchers want to unravel the truth: biologist Dr Martha Watkins, anthropologist Jim Trevor, and archaeologists Dr Paul Brando from California, US, and Professor Simiyu from Kenya.

TWO Extremist organisations want the truth buried forever: a religious sect and a terror organisation.

Deep in the caves of Sibiloi in Turkana, Kenya, is the answer that has evaded researchers for ages: Sibiloi holds secrets of the genesis of humanity.

2024 Afrika Redefined Indie Book Prize shortlisted book:

The reason the Holy Spirit prompted the writer of the book of Acts to capture Apostle Peter’s testimony that he and fellow apostles—the people who had been charged with the responsibility of taking the Gospel to the utmost part of the world—did not have silver or gold is because God wanted to prove that it is He who would accomplish the humanly impossible task through them. No challenge, including lack of money, can stand in the way of what God wants to do through you if you yield yourself to His use.

In this book, we get a rare peek into a family that has had reason to abandon church work and engage in more financially rewarding enterprises but resisted the temptation to do so because of the burden that they have for souls. It also contains a chapter in which the author shares her experience in an effort to help the girl-child navigate through the challenges of life today.
