Words Fitly Spoken: Everyday African Theology for Millennials and Gen Z

By Joseph Ola

What does it mean to live faithfully as a young African Christian in a digitally connected, culturally complex world?

In Words Fitly Spoken, Joseph Ola weaves together powerful quotations, African proverbs, and personal testimony to offer a refreshing vision of Christian discipleship-one that honours both global wisdom and African identity. Through thirteen compelling reflections, this book addresses the core struggles of millennials and Gen Z: the pressure to succeed, the fear of failure, the tyranny of busyness, and the search for authentic faith in an age of performance and comparison.

Each chapter grounds universal Christian truths in the communal spirituality of Africa in order to help youthful minds make sense of God in life and life in God. Whether you're wrestling with prayer that feels unanswered, navigating relationships and career decisions, or simply seeking to integrate your faith with your cultural identity, Words Fitly Spoken offers both roots and wings.

For young adults hungry for wisdom that speaks their language and honours their heritage, this book is an invitation: to think deeply, live wisely, and follow Christ faithfully-without abandoning one's cultural heritage to do so.

It is perfect for:

Millennials and Gen Z Christians seeking culturally grounded discipleshipReaders interested in African theology and contextual ChristianityAnyone navigating the tension between tradition and modernityChurch leaders and students exploring global Christian perspectivesThose weary of borrowed Western frameworks and hungry for indigenous wisdom.

Embrace the transformative power of these insights and discover a more balanced and joyful Christian experience.

"Words Fitly Spoken is a beautiful gift to the global Church. In these pages, Joseph Ola weaves Scripture, African wisdom, and lived experience into a tapestry of theology that feels both deeply rooted and wonderfully fresh. He reminds us that words can build worlds-that faith, when spoken with care and grace, can heal the fractures of our time. This is a luminous book for those seeking to follow Christ with both roots and wings. I cannot recommend it enough."
