The Last Carver
The Last Carver narrates the musings of the historian Mgbirimgba Atuegwu on the recent death of one of the most respected men in his community, the Omenka. From Mgbirimgba's eyes, we are allowed to see the cultural practices of Umuokwe and the Igbos of South Eastern Nigeria in the early colonial period. "I knew Ositadimma Amakeze as a poet of unusual ability. The effect of that flair on his creative story is so evident from the beginning to the end of this amazing novel." - Dr P-J Ezeh, Anthropological Linguist and Literary Critic, University of Nigeria, Nsukka "It is a brilliant, multi-layered story that encompasses a tale of ingenious portrayal of a culture on the threshold of extinction. ...
God's Love Prevails
In this incredible, true, and inspiring story, Gods Love Prevails, you will discover how God reaches out to the lost and the wounded as he did in the biblical times. It is believed that the Igbos of Nigeria descended from Israel. I was born and raised in Igbo. I remember in retrospect the culture and traditions of the Igbos which I discovered very similar to that of the Hebrews. In my post-primary school, I as well read the trilogy of Professor Chinua Achebe: Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, and Arrow of God. These three books explicitly show and prove the belief that Igbos descended from Israel through the cultural and traditional events that run in the books. These, coupled with the i...
Compassion - A Pastoral Paradigm for Integral Salvation and the Growth of the Church
Compassion is the dynamic force of all pastoral engagement. Without it, Salvation is impossible. With it, the salvation of the human person both spiritually and materially is assured. It is a deep natural, philosophical, theological, and religious value. The proper assimilation of this value, with all its implications, marks a turning point in one's life. It opens up one, not only to love and to be loved, but also to see things, not as they are, but as they should be. It marks one's entry into the crusade of the universal- pastor-hood; a heart-driven crusade that abhors all forms of exploitation and abuses. A crusade of socio-political wellbeing realized through politics of compassion.

The Eucharist as Orikọnsọ
In this book the author, relying on the research he carried out in Igboland, Nigeria, leads us to see the action of God's grace already active in the Igbo religious culture called Omenala Ndigbo before the coming of Christian missionaries and how these cultural values have prepared the people to receive the Gospel. But, as he points out, these cultural values on which the Christian message ought to have been built from the beginning were grossly misunderstood and neglected. The Igbo people are now mainly Christians. But because the Gospel has not yet become their culture, some of them have double allegiance to the doctrines of the Church and to the practices of Omenala Ndigbo. The author opines that to build the Catholic Church in Igboland on a solid foundation, the Eucharist must take the central place - since the Eucharist makes the Church and is the source and summit of the life of the Church. Thus the work, which uses the analytical and hermeneutical method known as inculturation, is on Eucharistic Ecclesiology from an Igbo perspective and will be useful for the Church, both at the local and universal levels for self-understanding and renewal, ecumenism, dialogue and mission.
