Books by Ruth Mueni

“Impacting lives with Christian literature”

When Marriage Vows Are Tested

This is an incredible book that gives real practical solutions to married couples and those looking forward to marriage. This book will help you navigate difficult situations that a marriage union may present as well as make yours better.

The tools herein will help you understand what vows mean since it also address different myths surrounding marriage which contribute primarily to marriage shake-ups and how to handle such inevitable tales.

When Marriage Vows are Tested offers you deep wisdom and insights to sustain your marriage and get the most out of it. Marriage is not just about the feelings; the truth is that, even desire and passion in marriage wanes coupled with age or even medical conditions.

These factors should not affect marriage negatively or bring it to an end since marriage is not all about sex but life-long companionship. A couple living together in the union of marriage will be tested and tried at one time or another. However, marriages are targeted for a couple living together for a better life that focuses on finishing together.

Well, buckle up because, within these very pages, your eyes will be opened to a greater understanding of what the marriage union truly means and what to expect. For those whose marriages have worked and thankfully so, we have responsibility to hold the hands of others in case their marriage has cracks and continue sharing the recipes that contribute to a great marriage. No marriage is perfect and since it’s a work in progress we ought to work it out for betterment every day.

TEA  GIRL TO A BANKER

Have you ever had a dream or an aspiration in your life, but at the back of your mind you think, ‘It cannot happen to me’ or ‘I don’t have what it takes to make it’? Well, you are not alone! The story of faith requires us to only believe that we have what it takes to make it, and trust that God’s promises will come to pass in our lives. This is the story that Ruth invites us to read in My journey of faith (From cleaning dishes to a bank manager). She recounts how her experiences, the good and the bad, built her resilience, defined her character and made her a better woman. Her testimony charges us to forgive genuinely and love unconditionally in this journey of life, so as to keep winning and eventually fulfill our divine destiny. Do you have that little faith that all is working for your good? Are you ready to spice that faith with some actions? For faith without actions is dead. God does not require of us to have good grades or a happy past for us to make it in this life. Just a little faith. Be encouraged and inspired as you read through her journey, and let her story challenge you as you endeavour to get to new horizons of your life and your faith.

Our capable leader, chair lady and founder of family pillars a group that lives to visit parents and honor them and give them flowers when they can smell. You must have been led by God when you started this group of 9 ladies and helped us put smile on our ageing parents.

The book Faith and hope has come in handy as we have seen ourselves borrowing from what you have believed in and led you to record in the “Faith and Hope” book and the principles you applied to move you from a tea girl to a great banker and manager that you currently are.

You never missed a single visit that we did even when it was against all odds, you availed yourself. You are a great mentor of our times and you have challenged us to be emulate values like humility, integrity, work hard and not to settle for less and this is what we have become over the years! God bless you.
