The chairman of the book launch and Director-General, National Council for Arts and Culture, Otunba Segun Runsewe set the ball rolling in his opening remarks by commending the author for propagating the message of a sound Christian culture through book writing.

 

Runsewe encouraged everyone in attendance and indeed all Christians to get copies of the books, read and absorb the life-changing messages contained therein.

1 The Obed Edom testimony

2 Understanding Kingdom Secrets

The fourth book, “Understanding Kingdom Secrets”, was reviewed by Mrs. Tosin Dokpesi and she listed the chapters and their titles relating them to the author’s attempt to demystify the deep secrets which a Christian must embrace in order to make heaven.

 

The media Veteran explained the clarity of purpose which the author demonstrates in his choice of action words and scriptural references throughout the book, commending Pastor Balogun for the noble effort.

 

After a successful launch, Pastor Balogun delivered his vote of thanks, expressing his heartfelt gratitude to everyone especially Otunba Runsewe who came to support him while also praying for God’s blessings on them.

 

He specially recognised and appreciated his wife and children for their love and understanding in the course of painstakingly putting the texts together.

 

Fielding questions from journalists, the man of God revealed that he was inspired by God to write the books which according to him, were written to address specific issues in people’s lives. He encouraged Nigerians to cultivate the culture of reading books that will enhance their spiritual wellbeing.
