Books by Robert Peprah-Gyamfi

Over a period of six months from July 2011, the author, a medical doctor, wastormented by sudden attacks of a mysterious disease. The weird symptoms left conventional medical science wanting. But what disease condition is too big for Doctor Jesus, the Doctor who knows no bounds?Warding off Demonic Attacks in Jesus' Name is an amazing testimony of how the author received healing and strength through prayer. It is an astonishing testimony of divine intervention in our time-a testimony that will surely inspire the Christian soldier in the war against the principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, indeed against spiritual wickedness in high place

The story of Africa's struggle for independence has often focussed on the key figures in the independence movement, figures like Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, etc.Left out in the discussion is the proverbial common man on the street - the ordinary citizens. What did they think about the prospect of self rule? Did each one of them favour the idea? Even if they universally supported the concept of independence, has anyone ever gone back to find out from them if indeed independence has met their aspirations and expectations?TWINS DIVIDED aims to address this issue.Set in rural Gold Coast (now Ghana), the riveting narrative revolves around the identical twin brothers, Panin and Kakra, residents of a small town in the Asante territory of the Gold Coast.The story begins in November 1946, with the return of Kakra to the Gold Coast after his abduction and forceful recruitment into the Royal West African Frontier Force to fight on the side of the 'Empire' in World War II. He survives a series of fierce battles both in East Africa and Burma. On his return home, he begins to agitate for immediate independence for the Gold Coast.Panin, Kakra's twin brother, on the other hand calls for a cautious approach, holding the view that the mainly illiterate population, made up of several ethnic groups with differing languages, traditions, culture, religious beliefs, population groups which prior to the advent of the Europeans were constantly warring against one another, was inadequately prepared for self-rule.As the two brothers follow developments in post-independent Ghana from their respective pre-independence perspectives, they provide a fascinating commentary on the changes that took place - changes that this book dramatizes for the reader who, in a sense, becomes a witness to the conflicts, the military take overs, and the final achievement of multi-party democracy.Since Ghana was the torchbearer of Black Africa's struggle for independence, the commentary of the two main characters on the country's independence experience may well be seen as a microcosm or mirror of the development of Black Africa as a whole.

Words of encouragement; words that seek to spur us on in the battle of life—these are words we often need. From the young believer in Christ to the veteran in the Faith, we all need and yearn for words to boost our spirits and urge us on as we begin each day anew on the battlefield of life.That is exactly what the daily devotionals contained in this book seek to achieve. Though written with Christians in mind, everyone is welcome to draw inspiration from them. The author, a medical doctor, illustrates his uplifting exhortations with enlightening analogies from his childhood memories in Ghana and his considerable medical experience.

This is a health education manual with a difference! First, it is clearly written, in a friendly and easy to follow manner that will make it invaluable for the layman who does not have a full understanding of how the human body functions, to come to grips with the essential causes of diseases and medical cures. The writer, himself a medical doctor, often writes from the perspective of his own early background in a rural village in Ghana, and, indeed, for anyone growing up in an African context, this book will be a wonderful guide to better health. Then again, this book is unique in so far as it is addressed largely to the Christian reader. The writer's explanation of the nature of disease makes abundant sense, tracing, as he does, its origin to the fall of man in Eden,where the Creator made everything perfect and saw that "all was good". From a medical and Christian point of view this book will advocate a lifestyle that will best serve the reader to prevent disease, for prevention is always better than cure! And where a cure is needed, the right mental attitude, not forgetting the unlimited power of prayer, is probably the most important resource.

What a world we live in! Whereas in some places residents have to fight hard to resist the temptation not to overfeed themselves, at other places people are threatened at best with malnutrition, if not starvation.In this readable and entertaining book, the author, who came from Ghana to become a medical doctor in Germany, sets out to highlight some of these inequalities as he attempts to compare and contrast the simple and communal lifestyle of a traditional African society with the sophisticated and egocentric one he found in Western society. Addressed to his mother in her final battle with death, and sent through a fictitious courier, it attempts, among other things, to give her, a woman who spent all her life in a typical African countryside, an idea of the things she would have seen and experienced on a visit to her son resident in the northern German city of Hannover.The book is an invaluable guide for anyone from a developing country who for the first time visits or wishes to settle in the West; but it will also be read with keen interest by people in the West wishing to know more of traditional African society.
