                                  By Reverend Jediton D. Pwanangba. In his work ‘One Basic Need,’ Reverend Jediton Pwanagba unfolds the principles that typify the name, person and character of Jesus Christ; His life, beliefs and dealings. In the book,, the readers would learn that the Great Commission is the completion of His mission on earth; the power to reverse back to life of the spiritually dead by all those who chose to follow Him. Much more, the book affirms that Disciples who answer to His call do not do so merely to be Christian (His followers) but to be made disciples, who Act 1:8 says “will receive power when the Holy Spirit come on you and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and the end of the earth;” people bestowed with the powers to bring back all those who “just exist but .. are without life.” Who “do not experience the love of their creator; the joy of living and the peace of mind which is their right...” The “many peo

Growing up in Lagos as a Christian with Muslim neighbours all around me was fun. I knew our religion was somewhat different from theirs but believed what separated us was just that they had different heroes from us; with us, it was Jesus Christ and them Muhammad. We attended our services unmolested or unchallenged as they did their many prayers and just like we do on Sundays, they have Fridays’ dressed-up grand assemblies. Despite the veil differentness which we saw as only ‘of mode of prayers and different heroes,’ it was a perfectly pleasant and non judgemental relationship. And, just as they always looked forward to and participated fully in our celebrations of Christ’s annual birthdays and all other Christian rites, so we also fully celebrated and habitually looked expectantly and with glee at their hero’s anniversaries and Islamic ceremonies. And up till when I became adult, the dramas of sin and redemption, absolution, preaching, conversion were all engagements done in priva

Mark .A. Gabriel’s book ‘Jesus and Muhammad,’ is a very interesting, entertaining and candid opinion of a writer with clear, clever and crafty point of view. An excellent book in religious genre; far more useful and openly probing than the plethora of religious books you find in book stores and stands meant to enlighten, indoctrinate or covet followers without much efforts, logic or convincing substance to sell their alternative religion as better choice. In the book, Mark ably invites his readers to ponder on some salient issues that makes his favoured religion stand out, comparatively portraying the other as a religion moulded in the dark ages, frozen in ice and left untendered too long to have gone out-of-sort, bland, sour and therefore uninteresting, unattractive and irrelevant to modern day free, cultured, vibrant and changing jet age world. How did the writer go about doing this; what are the issues he navigated to justify his stance? Mark presents his readers with direct
