Esther Katende Magezi
Esther Katende Magezi is a lawyer and law lecturer in one of the leading Business Universities in Uganda. She is married to a prominent lawyer in Uganda, Tom Magezi. They have been married since December 2005 and have been blessed with three wonderful children (11, 14 & 16 years old).
Esther has a strong passion for the success of the family unit, and believes that if we understand the Word of God in relation to family, and particularly marriage, we will be able to succeed at the institution of marriage, and therefore, family.
Esther has authored another book on parenting called ” Decision Points: Memoirs of a Working Mother” where she openly discusses her journey as a working mother. Her successes and failures of parenting, and what the Lord has taught her, in the parenting journey.
Esther’s hope is that after reading her books, you are able to draw inspiration from the pages, and exert yourself more, towards your journey as a spouse, and as a parent, to the glory of God.

15 Things They Didn’t Teach Us About Marriage
This book is about the 15 things I have learned about marriage in the 16 plus years I have been married. They are lessons I have learned from the marriages and divorces of friends and family, lessons taught to me by God, and the different marriage seminars and meetings I have attended.
They don’t teach about marriage in school, and the person you marry and the way you navigate the institution of marriage, is one of the greatest sources of joy or pain in life! This book is a good read with valuable lessons for those intending to get married, those who have started on the journey of courtship, those who are married, and those who don’t intend to get married.
It is a practical and unplugged discussion of marriage, without any sugarcoats. It is a collection of insights into this institution called marriage, that have elluded many of us, primarily because, among other reasons, they don’t teach us about marriage in school!
Memoirs of a Working Mother
This book is a discussion on intentional parenting. It revolves around the decision points that Esther, a working mother, made, as she intentionally raised her children between the ages of 0 -12 years. Esther openly shares her memoirs on her parenting journey; the highs and lows, as well as the challenges she has gone through and how she has handled the said challenges. Decision points is an invaluable guide for anyone involved in raising children from 0 -12 years, including educators, grandparents, parents, support teams and the extended family. It is a voice for many working mothers who are grappling with the challenge of raising children in today’s world. It is also an invaluable guide to young mothers who wish to learn from the experiences of other working mothers.

Congratulations Esther for your second book.
An invaluable book on balancing between career/working and raising our children. I would love to get a copy of your book to learn from your experience. Thank you for sharing. Congratulations!
Decision points is by far the most impactful parenting book i have read. intentional parenting is one of the missing ingredients in todays parenting. with the hustle and bustle of life parents have left their children’s future to chance. thanks Esther for writing
A very intimate, raw and deeply relatable story. With hopes of becoming a mother myself someday in the near future, this book has become a foundation of how to gracefully raise my little ones on the firm ground of my cultural traditions and still be open to the ever changing and culturally diverse world we live in.
This book is like a manual for raising children in the 21st century.
Thanks
This book is the support we all need as young mothers juggling career and family, It remains rooted in traditional values on raising children amidst the 21st century pressure. It gives grounded insights to raising all-round children. I still go back to read a chapter or two when lost for solutions to my own challenges of motherhood. Good Job Ms. Katende.
Good Job Esther! Proud of You.
The Memoirs of A Working Mother is not gender specific. It is an invaluable resource for dad’s aswell. The central idea is that intentionality has to be front and center of all parenting decisions. Instinctively parents know what is best for their children albeit at the risk of ridicule from friends and family. This book gives you the permission to do so. Well done Ese.
Memories of a working mother really inspired me to put in a little more effort to guide my children to reach their God given gifts.
Esther shares her story with such candidness and vulnerability. It is good to read about a mum who lives in the same era as me and to learn that you can intentionally raise a child. She gives great insights into the difficulties of being a working mum and how God brought her through.
This book provides good counsel from someone that seeks and knows God. Without counsel purposes are disappointed: But in the multitude of counsellors they are established – Proverbs 15:22. This is a must read for parents wanting to raise godly generations.
I enrolled my 1.5 year old son in day care as soon as I read this book. One year later, he has made tremendous progress in his development. I am grateful for the inspiration.
Decision points is a very practical,easy to read, relatable instruction manual on intentional parenting! It elaborates the importance of parenting as a calling from God and the sacrifices involved in nurturing our children to be wholesome individuals. A must read!
Memoirs of a working mother not only makes for a good read, but it has loads of sound advise to parents. The book inspired me to be more intentional on how I parent, and influenced some of my parenting decisions.
Esther is a captivating writer. She makes it easy for any working mother to see how to balance their job while making time for their children a priority. Its an easy read.Way to go Ese, proud of you!
As a mother of three, after the Bible, this has been the most practical book that has aided me along my intentional parenting journey. Not only did Esther break down how to adequately prepare for the different stages of childhood but showed me how a working mother can beautifully navigate and balance the different roles and challenges of life. I absolutely recommend this as a must read!
Esther Katende’s book was an eye opener for me in many aspects. I wished it had been published much earlier when my children were much younger! After reading it, I prayed to God to give me another child so that I could do exactly what I learnt from therein and luckily, God being at the centre of it all answered my prayers and I will soon be a Mum again!!! Thanks for the inspiration Esther. For all the parents out there who have not read this book yet, I highly recommend that you do so.
Excellent resource for working mothers out there.
This book comes highly recommended in a time where parents struggle to find the balance between parenting and hectic careers. Esther’s book provides the much needed direction on how to raise an all rounded child. A must read for any parent.

Esther generously shares her intentional parenting tips, lessons learnt and resources used to inform her decisions. It is a great and practical book. Thank you Esther. We can’t wait for the 12+ book!
As a first time mother, memoir of a working mother opened my mind to the benefits of intentional parenting, an understanding that raising children is a Devine assignment, being involved and part of my child’s life, instillin culture and family values, the different ways to discipline children 12 and below among others. I’m forever grateful to Esther for the knowledge impartation and recommend the book to every mother.
I have the opportunity of engaging with Esther’s children. Indeed “Memoirs of a working mother by Esther Katende- Magezi” is their everyday life. A life of purpose and engaging these children to pursue their passions and develop life-long skills. This book is a must-read for any parent interested in raising their children with great values
This is such an authentic book on parenting. It gives valuable insights and helpful tips on navigating through the highs and lows of this awesome journey of raising children God’s way. I highly recommend it to all parents as the material is both encouraging and instructive. Happy reading!
A great book for mothers and parents with insights on intentional child upbringing. Thank you Esther for sharing your experiences.
Esther Katende’s Memoirs of a Working Mum is not a book filled with anecdotes on parenting but rather a very vital and practical child rearing tool that offers insightful guidance and wisdom on how to make the journey not just bearable but more importantly enjoyable. It is a practical tool for any one who knows and understands that raising children is a calling and ministry worthy of the deliberate measures and steps which this book so eloquently highlights.
