Books by Chris Ekpekurede

When Henry loses his lucrative job at Global Haulage Company, it sets in motion a series of catastrophic events within a failed transportation business, as well as a false prophet who breaks up his home.Events spiral dangerously around two stunning and inexplicable lookalikes and their common lover, leading to another broken home and a crazy quest for sex that claims the life of their lover. Helen, Henry’s wife and one of the lookalikes, must return to her marriage. Can she go the distance, even with the help of the Godly Stranger?Down-to-earth and wise cracking, the story exposes the vulnerability of employees who get caught up in corporate reorganisations, and those who fail to plan against sudden career upheaval. The novel offers serious lessons in poor retirement planning and rashly thought out entrepreneurial ventures. It also indicts a society taken hostage by a plethora of false prophets and pastors feeding on the gullibility of hapless people.Godly Stranger does provide a consolation: Despite the harsh realities of life, there is solace within the secret hands of God at work in the lives of those who sincerely trust Him. The story not only elicits sympathy for Helen and Henry as they taste the bitter pills of life, but also gives hope to all who face hard times.Author Bio:A civil engineer with several fellowships, Nigerian Chris Ekpekurede is a public speaker and the author of six nonfictional books. Godly Stranger is his first foray into fictional writing.
