Hello, dear friend!  I come again bringing good tidings. I'm so excited to bring today's book to you, because OMG, it's so epic. This is a must-read for everyone, I tell you.  TITLE Teleporter A glimpse of the title alone will pique your curiosity.  According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Teleportation is in fiction: instantaneous travel between two locations without crossing the intervening space Teleporter gives off vibes that will intrigue anybody. Of course, if you are quite familiar with European superhero movies and comics like Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman, then the concept of teleporting won't be strange to you.  However, it's rare to see a Nigerian story that includes mystical or science fiction concepts as this book did.  Before we move further, I'd like to invite the author herself in person of Muna Fausta to share with us her experience of why and how she wrote Teleporter. Over to you, Muna: ••• WHAT INSPIRED TELEPORTER? So I...

This is a poem I wrote in celebration of the two eventful decades your girl, PeculiarPraise, has spent on earth.  This is the story of the initial beginning, current middle and projected end of a girl whose life's trajectory is still being determined by the One who called her His.   In the beginning,  A foetus was conceived, Some might say in the belly of a woman, But Truth says in His hands.  She emerged into the outside world, bawling in trepidation,  A crawl, fall and walk later, She grows steadily, day by day.  But then came the enemy,  Tricky and deceitful as always,  He raised his head and whispered, Almost drowned the girl in despair and lies. In the middle, She is swamped with confusion, Her eyes are clouded with tears unshed. She goes one last time, goes to the One many recount have helped them, Her One last hope. Indeed, he sweeps her life into bliss, Even though the definition of that bliss is sacrifice and the cross. ...

Hello, dear friend! Happy weekend. Today, something amazing is kicking off on this blog. Something I've always done low-key but now want to make official. Book reviews!  The book we'll be featuring today is: Drum rolls... Title Up and Awake: The 22 Prophecies Intriguing title, I tell you. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the title was: 'Isaiah 60, arise and shine...' and I wasn't wrong to think that way. The story actually draws its main power from Isaiah 60.  Genre Christian supernatural fiction As some of you already might know, PeculiarPraise is a diehard fans of anything supernatural fiction. Hence, it's no surprise that the first book in our book review series on this blog is from this genre.  Well, this book is unique in the sense that it's hard to nail it down to being fictitious, seeing it is a prophetic book. However there were a few elements of fiction there.  Book Cover Firstly, I would like to talk about the...
