Books by Jacob Kimathi Samuel
“Impacting lives with Christian literature”

Re-Imagining Theology for Postcolonial Africa
This book would be very useful for Biblical scholars and Theologians, African studies, Post-colonial Studies, Identity politics studies and the general public seeking to understand the role of African Christian religion in shaping human destiny.

The Sojourner’s Encounters
Whereas many believers in Africa are familiar with the concept of discipleship, to many it is undefined. It is a vague concept to which many attach great significance but don’t necessary seek to understand, perhaps concluding that it is too complex or too hard to understand.
Dr. Kimathi, the author of this Book, “The Sojourner’s Encounters” has endeavored to bring out the theme of discipleship in a manner that many Christians can relate to. The book consists of a collection of sermons compiled from many years of the author’s pastoral ministry and Christian leadership experiences.
In a remarkable way, the author emphasizes the importance of converting spoken sermons into written form for lasting impact. Citing Biblical characters, the author stresses the necessity of preserving Christian teachings through writing, contending for its significance, particularly in the African context, where wholesome literature is rare with a plethora of information flooding the continent from other contexts, a situation that certainly calls for discernment.
Moreover, the book calls for a re-imagination of discipleship that is tailored to African realities, emphasizes the need for integrating theology with everyday life experiences. Structured around biblical narratives and personal reflections, the book addresses a number of problematic themes that believers face and offers practical insights into navigating through them.
Congratulations Dr. Jacob Kimathi. Your book “Re- imaging theology for post colonial Africa is an eye opener to theologians and Biblical scholars in understanding the role of African Christian religion in shaping human destiny. Congratulations again on your nomination to ACABA 2024.
