Precious Okolobo Unveils New Christian Books on Leadership and Devotion in Lagos
Author Precious Okolobo is set to present two new books, Take My Boss; Give Me Nehemiah and No 23, in Lagos on April 19, 2026. These works mark his latest contributions to Christian literature in Nigeria, focusing on godly devotion and effective leadership in both spiritual and secular contexts. Okolobo, who has previously published four books including Fear Not, a faith-based testimony of cancer survival, describes these new releases as an external expression of internal impressions on society's urgent needs.
Exploring Psalm 23 and Nehemiah's Leadership
No 23 delves into Psalm 23, arguably the most popular psalm in the Bible, offering insights for first-time readers and those seeking deeper truths. The 184-page book, published by Joevine Editors, is arranged to help readers grasp the underlying meaning of the psalm, with themes that spice up the content. Former General Superintendent of Assemblies of God, Nigeria, Rev Chidi Okoroafor (PhD), who wrote the foreword, praised the book as inspirational and academic, recommending it as a preacher's handbook.
Take My Boss; Give Me Nehemiah examines good and godly leadership through the lens of Nehemiah's life, outlining principles and examples that people can relate to or emulate. The foreword for this book was written by the current General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Nigeria, Rev Abel Amadi (PhD), who emphasized the need for righteous, corruption-free leadership in Nigeria and beyond.
Endorsements and Impact on Christian Literature
President of the Association of Nigerian Christian Authors and Publishers, Wole Adedoyin, welcomed the books as significant contributions to devotion and service to God. The public presentation will feature Rev Chidi Okoroafor as the guest minister, highlighting the event's importance in the literary and religious communities. Okolobo's works, while gospel-inspired, take a unique approach distinct from classics like John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, focusing on practical applications in modern society.
