Overview

Africa's national leaders have failed the continent. So have Africa's church leaders. In Stewards of Power: Restoring Africa's Dignity, Dwight Mutonono identifies the leadership problems plaguing the continent and appeals for good leadership in the style of the biblical Joseph rather than the xenophobic, self-centred style exemplified by Jonah. He offers practical suggestions for how African Christians can reject sycophancy and demand accountability from their leaders. This is a prerequisite for restoring Africa's dignity with a clarion call for integrity and righteousness at a personal, institutional and national level.

The solution to the myriads of Africa's deep social, economic, political and spiritual problems could be found in the church in Africa. The African church can transform the African continent and indeed global Christianity. The missing link is leaders who are broken by the Spirit of God so they can be channels of blessings. Dwight Mutonono ably and passionately calls on African church leaders to set an example of integrity in order to influence and transform the political leadership. Optimism for Africa's renaissance is not a pipe dream - the history of the church and biblical narratives are replete with examples of societal transformation which Mutonono draws on in this book. This is a great contribution to Africa's quest for a new reformation movement and the Africa God wants. Aiah Foday-Khabenje, DMin General Secretary, Association of Evangelicals in Africa (AEA) Stewards of Power is a loud cry from the bosom of a son of Africa, Dwight Mutonono. His work wrestles responsibly with the challenges of Africa by providing possible solutions. What is unique about this reflection on the African enigma is that it has been done through the lens of God's Word. The result of this approach is that the book challenges its readers to dare to hope for a better Africa through faith in God and his ways. My conclusion is that Mutonono's work is also a prayer as it lines up well with the hopes of many Africans around the world. May God use this book to challenge African leaders to the kind of stewardship of power that will transform the continent. Arise Africa, for the glory of God has risen upon you!
