Whites Can Dance Too by Kalaf Epalanga

KShs3,690.00 KShs3,200.00
It took being caught at a border without proper documents for me to realise I'd always been a prisoner of sorts. Kuduro had been my passport to the world, thanks to it I'd travelled to places I'd never dreamed of visiting. But the chickens had come home to roost . Hours before performing at one of Europe's most iconic music festivals, Kalaf Epalanga is detained at the border on suspicion of being an illegal immigrant. Trapped, his thoughts soon thrum to the beat of kuduro, the blistering, techno-infused Angolan music which has taken him from Luanda to Kristiansund, Beirut to Rio de Janeiro, Paris to Lisbon. Shifting between his reflections while incarcerated, and the stories of Sofia - Kalaf's friend at the heart of the Lisbon dance scene - and the 'Viking', the immigration official holding Kalaf's fate in his hands, Whites Can Dance Too is a celebration of the music of Epalanga's homeland, and a hypnotic paean to cultural roots, to freedom and love.

MOTHER by Yvvette Edwards

KShs2,000.00 KShs1,690.00
The author of the critically acclaimed A Cupboard Full of Coats makes her hardcover debut with a provocative and timely novel about an emotionally devastated mother’s struggle to understand her teenage son’s death, and her search for meaning and hope in the wake of incomprehensible loss. The unimaginable has happened to Marcia Williams. Her bright and beautiful sixteen-year-old son, Ryan, has been brutally murdered. Consumed by grief and rage, she must bridle her dark feelings and endure something no mother should ever have to experience: she must go to court for the trial of the killer—another teenage boy—accused of taking her son’s life. How could her son be dead? Ryan should have been safe—he wasn’t the kind of boy to find himself on the wrong end of a knife carried by a dangerous young man like Tyson Manley. But as the trial proceeds, Marcia finds her beliefs and assumptions challenged as she learns more about Ryan’s death and Tyson’s life, including his dysfunctional family. She also discovers troubling truths about her own. As the strain of Ryan’s death tests their marriage, Lloydie, her husband, pulls farther away, hiding behind a wall of secrets that masks his grief, while Marcia draws closer to her sister, who is becoming her prime confidant. One person seems to hold the answers—and the hope—Marcia needs: Tyson’s scared young girlfriend, Sweetie. But as this anguished mother has learned, nothing in life is certain. Not anymore. A beautiful, engrossing novel that illuminates some of the most important and troubling issues of our time, The Motheris a moving portrait of love, tragedy, and survival—and the aftershocks from a momentary act of cruel violence that transforms the lives of everyone it touches.

Days Come and Go by Hemley Boum

KShs4,900.00 KShs4,350.00
Chronicling the beauty and turmoil of a rapidly changing Cameroon, Days Come and Go is the remarkable story of three generations of women both within and beyond its borders. Through the voices of Anna, a matriarch living out her final days in Paris; Abi, Anna’s thoroughly European daughter (at least in her mother’s eyes); and Tina, a teenager who comes under the sway of a militant terrorist faction, Boum’s epic is generous and all-seeing. Brilliantly considering the many issues that dominate her characters’ lives—love and politics, tradition and modernity—Days Come and Go, in Nchanji Njamnsi’s vivid translation, is a page-turner by way of Frantz Fanon and V. S. Naipaul. As passions rise, fall, and rise again, Boum's stirring English-language debut offers a discerning portrait of a nation that never once diminishes the power of everyday human connection.

The Men Do Not Eat Wings – A No...

KShs2,500.00 KShs2,000.00
Set in Kenya and spanning almost three centuries from the pre-colonial 1700s to the turbulent 1990s, The Men Do Not Eat Wings tells the intertwined stories of eight men from five generations of a Luo family: Nwanji, Oweh, Osewe, Ang’awa, Luka, Boro, Okello, and Sakawa. In 1999, one of them, Luka, a successful farmer and businessman in western Kenya, is brutally murdered. A poor squatter on Luka’s farm is arrested and charged with committing the crime. But at Luka’s funeral, why does his widow seem to suggest that Luka might have done something that contributed to his death? The answer lies partly in Luka’s recent business dealings and the complicated relationships that underpinned them. The answer also lies in Luka’s entanglement in sinister tribalistic political schemes that soon draw in his son, Sakawa, and his brother, Okello. But most of all, the answer lies in Luka’s family history and Luo culture – both of which are marked by male dominance, bravery, violence, ambition, and love.

Make Time: How to Focus on What Matte...

KShs3,000.00 KShs2,500.00
Nobody ever looked at an empty calendar and said, "The best way to spend this time is by cramming it full of meetings!" or got to work in the morning and thought, Today I'll spend hours on Facebook! Yet that's exactly what we do. Why? In a world where information refreshes endlessly and the workday feels like a race to react to other people's priorities faster, frazzled and distracted has become our default position.

Chain Reaction by Maria Mmari Lasoi

KShs800.00
We recite the sinner's prayer and give our lives to Jesus but when the church service ends, when the music stops and the lights go off we still have to go home to our realities. We wake up the next day and expect everything to have disappeared. We imagine that because the prison doors have been flung open, our life sentence revoked, our list of offenses blotted out, that we will find ourselves automatically in a different place in our lives. Our chains have been broken but we have to take steps daily out of the prison - that becomes the beginning of a lifelong journey. A journey that only ends when we eventually one day enter the gates of heaven and come face to face with our precious Savior to dwell with him forever." How do we react to He who sets us free? How do we react to what He already did on the cross for us? Chain Reaction is a follow up book of Project Cross: Lessons From Living For Self To Living For Christ and deals with the different stages and seasons we go through as Christians right from the second we finish the prayer of repentance. With Biblical reference, Chain Reaction explains the repercussions of the disease that is sin, the cure that came on the cross and the freedom as a result thereof. Chain Reaction offers practical tips on how to press on in a new relationship with Christ and covers some of the mental ,spiritual, social and emotional struggles that come with a new life in Christ that we are often plagued with. With personal testimonies and 'prison' tales, Maria Mmari vulnerably and authentically throughout stays true to the central theme of chains, imprisonment and uses this as an allegory for the spiritual life and how we react to the newfound freedom in Christ.

Faithful Follower by Maria Mmari Lasoi

KShs1,300.00
Now more than ever, we need better rules of engagement and rhythms for online life that protect the work of God within us as he molds us into more faithful followers of Christ. In the early days, the followers of Jesus were called Followers of the Way. Those who responded to the invitation, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” Followers of Jesus were invited to be with Jesus, walk like Jesus and talk like Jesus and hung on to every word of His. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Following Him has a path laid out already. The narrow path, as we are told in scripture. From the invention of telegraphs, that would be distributed in town squares, to the radio, that would broadcast information along an even further radius, to the television and now social media that spreads information in seconds. Each technological breakthrough has proven to be an instrument that has the potential to propel our mission as followers of Jesus. Each innovation has also as well as the potential to threaten our devotion and compete with our allegiance to Christ. Through biblical teaching, Maria shares what it means to be a digitally connected follower of Jesus covering some of the issues we run into in our allegiance to Christ including: Identity Devotion, Distraction and Destruction Idols and Disordered Loves Biblical Illiteracy and Scripture Engagement Content: Consecration and Compromise Online Influencers & Stewarding Influence Zeal and Legacy Community and Discipleship Emotions In Faithful Follower, Maria delves into our lives as followers in light of eternity and work backwards into the present digital age examining what it means to be a digitally connected follower, remaining anchored to where our true identity lies and our mission on earth as deep, resilient and devoted followers of Jesus no matter what innovation comes next.
