A Call at Midnight
KSh1,000.00A Call at Midnight documents the atrocities of Idi Amin’s henchmen in Uganda in the 1970’s through the family of Emmanuel and June Begembe and life in exile in Kenya. There are two major storylines: the one that follows the rise of June alias Eseza from a refugee status through to a business woman, her remarriage on return to Uganda after the fall of Idi Amin; and the second which has followed the trials and tribulations of the abandoned Ruth Atieno and her three children, who is finally summoned as Solomon lies dying at the Nairobi Hospital.
Several themes are explored in detail in the text, among them despotic political leadership that leads to corruption, smuggling, torture, mayhem and death; monogamy versus polygamy, poverty versus wealth, Africa versus Euro-Western traditions, changing gender roles in the society, marriage and divorce and education, morals and ethics among others.

Promotion: Ten Guidelines to Help You Achieve Your Long-Awaited Promotion
KSh800.00Have you ever appointed an individual to a key position in your church or ministry, only to realize later on that you made a poor choice? Or perhaps you realized that although the individual had potential, he or she wasn’t quite ready to assume the responsibility you had assigned. Such regrets are unfortunate – and they are entirely avoidable.
In his book, “Promotion: Ten Guidelines To Help You Achieve Your Long-Awaited Promotion,” Rick Renner presents his acid test for leadership – ten guidelines to determine if an individual is compatible with you and prepared to take on more authority and responsibility. All relationships in your church or ministry will eventually be tested, either willingly or inadvertently. Why not take the time and the measures to determine beforehand if people are ready to enter certain realms of responsibility?
Rick uses both his past mistakes and past victories to illustrate what he has learned not only about becoming ready for leadership but also about moving carefully and more accurately when choosing key members for the inner circle of his team. In addition, his examples offer a checklist for self-examination to help you determine if you are actually ready for promotion.
These insightful principles and practical guidelines are drawn from the Word of God; therefore, they can be applied to the advantage of any work environment in any region of the world.

A Weekend in September
KSh300.00The hurricane that swept Galveston Island early in September, 1900, occupies a unique place in the reckoning of events of the Texas Gulf coast. Nearly a century after its passing, the storm remains the standard against which the ferocity and destructiveness of all others are measured. Twothirds of Galveston’s buildings were washed away at a cost that was never fully calculated. More than 6,000 people were killed. And in the collective memory of a region where depredations by wind and water are accepted as part of life, the weekend of September 8, 1900, is the ultimate example of the terror and violence a hurricane can bring.
John Edward Weems’s account of the Galveston hurricane was written more than six decades ago, when many of the survivors were still living and available for interviews. This book is based on numerous conversations and correspondence with these survivors as well as a careful examination of contemporary documents and news reports. In direct, economical prose Weems recreates that fateful weekend as experienced by those who actually were there. The result is a narrative that develops a pace and force as irresistible as the hurricane that inspired it, and a work that is a model of historical reportage.

Terrorism and War
KSh100.00Truth—as Zinn shows us in the interviews that make up Terrorism and War—has indeed been the first casualty of war, starting from the beginnings of American empire in the Spanish-American War. But war has many other casualties, he argues, including civil liberties on the home front and human rights abroad. In Terrorism and War, Zinn explores the growth of the American empire, as well as the long tradition of resistance in this country to U.S. militarism, from Eugene Debs and the Socialist Party during World War One to the opponents of U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan today
