It is a timeless one-stop devotional pictorial-handbook that will first and foremost appeal to the sensibilities of Christian faith believers while the major part of it will serve as a spiritual and seminary companion for fellow communicants and members of the Anglican Communion. Those who are yet to grasp the doctrines of Christianity very well will be able to relate with the book that will attempt to answer most of the probing questions of what, why and how. This book to reasonable extent is a response to the need to bridge the yawning gap between the way the older generation was brought into Christianity and the way the new generation understands what Christianity is all about. A sect of the new generation is not very clear about Christianity, especially what the core gospel of Christ is all about and how believers are expected to live a fruitful Christian life and be happy, comfortable and contented. The handbook for believers in Christian faith epitomizes a unique learning experience, shaped in six sections, with annexes and index. A part of the book is historical with few vintage pictures of the early missionaries. It touches history of Christianity, the early church, one Catholic and Apostolic Church, Anglican Communion and Church of Nigeria. The "Articles of Religion" in its original form constitute the second chapter in the first section of this book. It should guide those who are yet to become Christians to know how to go about it while it should refresh the believers to become better Christians. The second section is about Anglican Communion, its doctrines and practices in the Church of Nigeria (CON). A chapter is dedicated to Catechism while there are highlights on the structure of the church with relation to the various departments that complement the work of the vicar. The third section contains some of the studies of the author in the Bible College, while the fourth section is devotional. It is dedicated to holy communion, its efficacy and the principle of acquiring spirit filled power through being a communicant. The fifth section is devotional too, it contains few sermon notes as a Lay Reader and published articles of the author on the essence of Christianity. The last section is a collection of integrated spiritual commentaries quoted from various published sources. It contains some selected words of God, applied bible passages that can be deployed for functional prayer points tips that could help in living a spirit filled Christian life. The annex of the book contains definitions of some biblical and theological words that could enhance further understanding of Christian religion and a directory on CON. The culture, tradition and practices in the Church of Nigeria - Anglican Communion were recorded in pictures and published in this book.The author (Lay Reader), his display of interest and knowledge of the foundation of the Christian faith vis-a-vis the historic formulary of the Church is commendable. The book which appears esoteric at first, should serve as a treasured companion to Christians and to all who may seek to understand the believers in the faith that they profess and practice. It is an uncommon Christian literature because it does not only have spiritual underpinnings, it tells the story of how Christianity spread to Nigeria through the West African coast. This makes the book to be historical, instructional and a devotional companion for Christians.Those contemplating response to call to the ordained ministry will gain a taste of what lies ahead. Those in ministry who have no opportunity for a formal program will surely deepen their biblical, ecclesiastical, doctrinal, and theological knowledge. For laypersons who assist ordained ministers, they will derive joy in serving the Lord when they go through this book.In all, this book should encourage the readers to relate with their Holy Bible more. The spiritual handbook is presented to interested people and Christians generally.
