A testimony of grace, a ministry of discipleship and the call on each of our lives to be salt and light in our world, leading souls back to Jesus Christ.
Once, when I thought I was leaving my home for good, God knew he would someday make me an ambassador to use me in my own country and continent. God had a plan to use me in the same region where I first encountered His love through my own grandparents and my parent's relationship with God. Through service and honoring Almighty God, I have had the privilege to share Christ’s amazing grace with many people from all walks of life,- countries, cultures, and religions. God gives us the grace to build bridges that connect a hurting world back to His love. That bridge leads us back to Him. Back home.

It Takes a Woman retraces the early life of Nana konadu who rose to prominence as the First Lady of the Republic of Ghana (1982-2000). She redefined the privilege of serving a nation and sought every platform to champion the causes of underserved citizenry and women. While her husband, former President Jerry John Rawlings, embarked on a relentless pursuit of transforming Ghana into a model of African democracy,
Mrs. Agyeman-Rawlings founded the 31st December Women’s Movement (the 31st DWM), an organisation which played a pivotal role in the empowerment of women, and in addressing issues of systemic gender inequality, not only in Ghana but across the African region.

Nothing about Kwabena Darko’s long overdue memoir is ordinary. It is the work of an important and interesting man, both as an entrepreneur and a leader whose every measure of success and fulfilment is only one rooted in faith. Streaks of active political life are passing moments, more like a subplot, yet many in his native Ghana remember him as a man who, perhaps in a different political climate, might be president.
Courage to Lead is carefully pulled together like an intricate puzzle that shines a light on a splendid life of a visionary who managed to be a towering figure in agro-business across Africa, and one who had a seat at some of the defining moments in Ghana’s political turning points.
Such an audacious journey through business, politics, and life, with faith at the heart of it all. The work is a profoundly honest memoir, glowing with wisdom and gracious candour, and most importantly, uplifting.
By Kwabena Darko
In this collection, the Writers Project of Ghana brings to you the works of sixteen different writers invited to submit writing related to “resilience” -- writing that reflects the resilience of the human story in the face of adversity.
What we have here are stories that present individuals struggling to cope with difficulty, some successfully, some via escape; poems that offer perspectives on survival and recovery, and non-fiction that examines our coping strategies, and tries to understand, to use the title of one of the articles, what’s at stake in this dreadful storm.
The Writers Project of Ghana is a literary organisation based in Ghana. Founded in 2009, the Writers Project of Ghana has worked with writers from across the world to enhance the literary culture in Ghana through relevant programming and the publication of anthologies.

In Pursuit of Jubilee is about a businessman who rose to the challenge and initiated an effort that would result in one of the largest discoveries of premium grade oil on the African continent. It was the opportunity of a lifetime.
Yet, even before a drop of oil could be pumped, a firestorm would ensue when the new government of Ghana launched a criminal investigation of George Owusu, bringing the nation's fledgling oil industry to the brink of chaos and plunging his life into a nightmare.
By George Yaw Owusu, with M. Rutledge McCall
Six Strings and a Note is a compelling and relevant portrait of the artistic life of Daniel Kwabena Boa Amponsah, known around the world by his stage name, Koo Nimo.

From the quiet Ghanaian village where he grew up, to the popular concert halls, leading international universities and renowned institutions, Koo Nimo’s life is nearly a century of extraordinary subplots to a story of hope, determination, and boundless love for guitar music.

I was two years old when I stopped walking. I have spent the rest of my life living through an amazing life-altering testimony of how easily our society can knowingly or even otherwise, leave a section of its brothers and sisters on the margins, and see them as burdens. God, on the other hand, seeks to use everything in our lives for His glory.
The limitation will not be a reason to give up on the purpose for which God created us. Seeing life through God's lens gives us an incredible vantage point, and which reminds us that through His grace, nothing that happens to us disqualifies a person from His perfect will.
Worthy hinges on a Bible story of the man born blind, whose interaction with Jesus Christ led to diverse unpleasant responses from his (the man's) own society- the Jewish Community. Worthy consequently discusses some of these ordeals persons with disabilities go through daily, and raises theological, cultural, and social issues that need to be addressed to enhance the dignity of persons with disabilities.

This collection has been a long time in the making, due not only to the task of bringing together the creative work of almost thirty writers –akin to the proverbial herding of cats – but also to the balancing act of marrying imperatives more inclined to squabble than co-exist in harmony.
These included mixing fiction with non-fiction and, above all, creating a joint platform for both seasoned and novice writers, whilst generating a publishable product.

Every day that God allows us the opportunity to see should be embraced with enthusiasm, urgency, and intensity of every thought. Each day, we are all blessed with 1,440 minutes, and our objective is to reach the end zone, obtaining points that lead to victory. Strive to score a touchdown every day, one moment at a time. God is gracious and merciful to give us the ball of dreams, talent, goals, drive, courage, passion, and purpose.
Our challenge is to take the ball of opportunity and march it down the field of life in order to score points, get touchdowns, and win.

When we discover how to filter our thoughts and to purposefully interpret the events of our lives, we can lift ourselves up beyond our challenging times and far beyond any seductive distractions.
A Poke in My Eye is the product of introspective dialogues and a drastic paradigm shift from some of the lowest points of life. In the middle of the mental chaos, the power of simple stories with extraordinary lessons is what gave birth to a symbolic poke to my eye— a sudden consciousness that there is more to live for, and even more reasons to hang on for one more day.

The setting is a Ghanaian town, but the truth of the plot may very well replay in any village, town or city anywhere in the world. Like a blinding light at night, a family is left alone when they need a father the most.
“When the Child Fell Ill” is an intriguing blend of prose, poetry, and song. There are moments that are piercingly sad, and others where the reader and audience could find solace in hope. In every scene, we find in the characters some of the simple, yet poignant attitudes that define our choices both small and great, and all of which are carefully woven into the tapestry of our lives and those of our families.

“The Search” is an adaptation of Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Pardoner’s Tale,” and conveys many original cautionary themes to a new audience. Straying from Chaucer’s work, Charlotte Akyeampong creates new characters, not only to widen the scope of the story but also to ensure effective interaction of different characters. For that is the essence of any good drama.
Perhaps the flaw in our humanity becomes painfully amusing when it is so glaringly obvious for everyone observing from a distance, but remains one that we ourselves cannot see.
