Early Scriptures of the Gold Coast (Ghana): The Historical, Linguistic and Theological Settings of the Ga, Twi, Mfantse and Ewe Bibles
Early Scriptures of the Gold Coast (Ghana) is a historically rich and compelling account of African and European missionary translation teams, working in Ghana and Togo, who created orthographies, wrote grammars and dictionaries in the local languages, and undertook vernacular translations of Scriptures. Their aim was to teach the Bible in the mother tongue languages to better communicate the message of Scripture. By dedicating their philological and linguistic skills to Bible translation, the Gold Coast Christians helped to advance a lasting Ghanaian literate tradition.
Professor Ekem guides us through a historical account of centuries of the earliest translations of biblical texts into the four main languages of Ghana and Togo − Gā, Ewe, and two major dialects of the Akan language, Twi, and Mfantse. As Prof. Gilbert Ansre writes in the Preface, “To do this, [Prof. Ekem] has undertaken very careful and exhaustive [international] research to obtain overwhelming data and insights. He has presented…these in a very clear and orderly manner…The book…enables us to appreciate the convictions, the abilities, the devotion, and the tenacity of the many European and African translators.”
Throughout the book, Dr. Ekem provides fascinating examples that vividly illustrate the historical contexts, the translation issues at stake, the daunting obstacles, and the ultimate triumphs of the early translation teams. In addition, he describes the ongoing activity of emending and enhancing Bible translation in these Gold Coast languages.
Early Scriptures of the Gold Coast (Ghana) is the second volume of The History of Bible Translation Series. It is the first in a series of monographs prepared by experts in the field of translation study, supported in research and publishing by the American Bible Society and its partners, and intended to provide historical perspectives and address important issues relating to the history and practice of Bible translation. In each monograph, the insights and observations of an expert author will reveal the unique role of a particular translation effort in the complex and enduring story of Bible translation.

Breakfast on the Beach: The Development of Simon Peter
All too often, we attempt to reduce the gospel narrative to a set of theological propositions. However, our faith is not rooted in the abstract realm of thought but in the tangible, sweat and blood world where we live out our calling to follow in the footsteps of Christ. The gospel is full of the real-life struggles, fears, failures and triumphs of men and women just like us, and in this retelling of Jesus’s ministry as experienced by Simon Peter, Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl invites us to encounter the gospel’s transformative power afresh.
Breakfast on the Beach is a harmonized, chronological retelling of the four Gospels that explores Jesus’s fourfold method of discipleship through its impact on his followers, especially Simon Peter. Harnessing the power of story, Johannes brings the gospel to life in new ways, emphasizing the relational nature of faith, discipleship and what it means to follow Christ – whether in first-century Judea or in our own lives and contexts.

Appetite for Wealth: Taste of Fulfillment
Recently I have observed with amazement the rate at which today’s youth have made money the reason for their existence. Greed, envy, jealousy, anger and pain have engulfed the world as a result of money. Society no longer cares about how people make their money. Honesty and integrity are thrown to the dogs. In these difficult times, the desire for personal fulfillment must be the driver of our decisions, not money and wealth. Contentment is the key that opens the gate to fulfillment. This book is born out of my personal experiences, insight and intelligence gained while working, walking and studying at the feet of giants.
Writing in simple language with his readers in mind, Ato shares in this book that money is only important as a servant, and no matter where you are, you can take practical steps to create and command wealth. It is through our greatest struggles, pains, fears, insecurity, roadblocks and challenges that opportunities for wealth creation show up.
Ato takes the reader on a journey towards wealth and fulfillment and shares inspirational and challenging stories that should motivate the reader to action.
