WELCOME TO P&D DESTINY LIGHT PUBLISHERS WE ARE UNAPOLOGETICALLY CHRISTIAN PUBLISHER That’s what we aim to be and that’s one thing that sets us apart from many other publishers. Many publishers may be distancing themselves from Christian distinctives, or apologizing for their Christian heritage. We don’t. We are leaning into it.
BY BEING “UNAPOLOGETICALLY CHRISTIAN” PUBLISHER, WE DO NOT MEAN: 1. Arrogantly Christian. That is, we do not wish to imply that we are always right, or that we know it all. In fact, no sane Christian would say that we do. We are quick to confess that we are finite and we serve an infinite God who, though He has revealed Himself, is still much greater than we can comprehend, and life is more mysterious than we can fully understand. 2. Narrowly Christian. Destiny Light encourages Christians to think. We want Christians to engage in rigorous study and ask hard questions. We want them to examine other views, even as we robustly teach from a Christ-centered perspective. We love science, philosophy, debate, learning and the life of the mind. 3. Uncaringly Christian. We are compelled by Christ to love our neighbors and respect all people because they are made in the image of God. We have friendships with people of other faiths and no faith; even though we may not share in their beliefs. We are devoted to the common good. We aim to produce good citizens of our world. 4. We are perfect Christians. We are far from it. We are sinners who need a savior and
who want to follow faithfully after Christ. But we don’t always do it like we hope to. We aspire to be a Christian publisher, but we have not arrived.
BY BEING “UNAPOLOGETICALLY CHRISTIAN” PUBLISHER WE MEAN: 1. That we have a conviction to follow Christ. Our beliefs matter to us. They matter because we believe they are true. 2. Publishing for us is more than just competence and critical thinking. Consequently, we think it is important to talk about certain topics that have been excised from our learning institutions, churches or even homes—such as sexuality, authority of the Holy Scriptures, Church’s role in political matters, truth, virtue, character, the meaning of life and the importance of religious faith. 3. As convictional Christians, we are historically Christian. That means we stand within the great tradition that gave rise to the publishing movement. A movement that has seen more persecution and seen many martyrs than most. 4. As evangelicals, we revere the Bible, not only as the central text to our lives, but as God’s Word. We affirm Christ to be, not just a great teacher, but the savior of the world. By the way, every publisher is driven by some faith. These days it is often a secular faith—it could be faith in technology, or scientific naturalism, or business, or even a nihilistic faith. We believe that the Christian faith provides a better foundation for a life of learning in a way that addresses the whole person and the world as it actually exists. continued page » 6
LOVE & SUBMISSION IN A CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE! Men say in actions or words: “Wives Are Not Submissive Enough to be Loved”! Women say with their actions and/or words: “Husbands Are Not Loving Enough to be Respected”!
Just What Does It Mean To “Be Loving Enough”?
Just What Does It Mean To “Be Submissive Enough”?
Are women commanded to submit to their husbands by the Scriptures? If so, how do they deal with difficult husbands? Are men commanded to lead their homes by the Scriptures? If so, what happens if the man feels inadequate to lead? What’s the place of MUTUAL submission and leadership in a marriage? ISBN: 978-9966-125-95-8 | Pages:286 | Price: 1,750
THE MUSLIM & THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST! Both Muslims and Christians believe that truth exists. Each believes in truth, not the least because they believe their faith is true. But their common perspective extends much farther. They have roughly analogous beliefs in monotheism, spiritual and physical realms, angels and demons, good and evil, a final judgment, heaven and hell, the inspiration of scriptures, and many more periperal beliefs. These commonalities are a double-edged sword. They build a common platform for dialogue such that the two can often understand each other and see the world from a similar perspective. But the commonalities perhaps also serve to sharpen disagreements on the most sensitive difference between the two faiths: their views of Jesus and Muhammad. Regarding Muhammad, most Christians rarely know anything. They almost believe anything they are told by Muslims about their prophet. ISBN: 978-9966-125-86-6 Pages: 386 Price: Kshs. 1,950
Regarding Jesus, there is one central issue on which Muslims particularly disagree with Christians, and that is, that Jesus died on the cross.

SEXUAL FULFILLMENT IS MORE THAN PLEASURE! (BOOK 1 of 3) 4
The surprising thing in view of how long the human race has been having sex is how relatively little we know about it. Despite all the books about sex that make the best-seller lists and fantasies, we know a lot less about sex than one might expect. The current sex revolution is making the situation even worse. Guided by drifting derelict concepts, has promoted many untruths about sexuality. It is poisoning the moral and spiritual faculties of men and women. As a result, many couples, during their courtship and engagement processes, may look forward to and dream about unrealistic sex expectations. Some young couples entering marriage may still hold on to many attitude and ideas falsely learned in childhood and youth. These falsehood and exaggerated fantasies need to be exposed. Sex must be put in its proper place in marriage. On the one hand, it is not the be-all and end-all of marriage—it is not an end in itself. Sex is not a god or goddess; sex cannot save us or give us our identity or fulfilment. But, on the other hand, sex is very important and the sexual relationship needs to be nurtured as the heart of a relationship of faithful love. When sex is put in its proper place, neither too important nor neglected, then it will thrive as it was designed to flourish—to the glory of God.

SEXUAL FULFILLMENT IS MORE THAN PLEASURE! (BOOK 2 of 3) Sex has been going on practically since the beginning of time in one way or another. In popularity, if not in frequency, it is right up there with eating and drinking and with going to church and watching TV. Adam, Abraham, Moses must have certainly done it. Apostle Peter did it. Have you ever wondered why we are bombarded by sex exploitation on every hand today? Most bestselling books, top-draw movies, and magazines reek with sex, and no one will deny that sex is without question the most popular international “sport.” The “tell it like it is” craze has simply brought into the open what has been paramount in people’s minds since Adam and Eve. ALSO COVERED IN BOOK 2: Positions & Techniques Meant To Enhance Lovemaking And Remove Boredom From The Marital Bed. ISBN: 978-9966-125-88-0 | Pages 386 | Kshs. 2,500 Now 2,300
SEXUAL FULFILLMENT IS MORE THAN PLEASURE! (BOOK 3 of 3) People who are busy working only on their spiritual side of their marriage will soon find that they neglected the temple of the Holy Spirit (body) (1 Cor. 3:16; 1 Cor.6:19). Remember, sexual intimacy (for the married couples) is part of worship to God that is carried out from this temple (body), and neglect to the temple might as well mean neglect to wholesome worship of our God who made us wonderfully and fearfully—both body, spirit and soul. So nurture your spirit! But if you neglect your body, don’t be shocked to find out that the devil used it as a means to mess up your marital bed. You neglect your body at your own peril. In this book you’ll also learn about physical exercises and diet that will boost your sexual Intimacy. ISBN: 978-9966-125-89-7 | Pages 374 | Kshs. 2,500 Now 2,300

5. Our faith is central to who we are. It is not incidental. We are not Christian in name only. Rather we are a religious publisher with a strong evangelistic mission and task. 6. When others tell us to put our faith aside, we can’t. We refuse to subordinate our faith to ideologies, be they of the far left or the far right. We cannot change our core beliefs, about Jesus Christ or God’s created order, for that would be to deny the motivation that brought us into existence in the first place. 7. That we try to live and practice our faith in our respective communities. All Christians have community standards that flow from our religious identity. Ultimately, we are called to follow Christ and
live in faithful obedience to His Word. This will not always make sense to outsiders, but it too is a part of historic Christianity. Our faith not only involves beliefs, but a way of life. In the New Testament there are expectations of what it means to be a follower of Christ. 8. We wish to highlight that we passionately believe that Christ is the source of life—the Bible describes Him as the living water, the bread of life, the light of the world, the living Word, the way, the truth the life. We have found this to be true. Destiny Light and all its affiliates were born out of this faith. We are born out of, not just a faith impulse, but a specifically Christian vision.
1 Corinthians 1:20-25
Romans 1:16
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
Quote: All scripture is inspired of God and is useful for teaching the faith and correcting error, for resetting the direction of a man’s life and training him in good living. 2 Timothy 3:16 (PHILLIPS) There is no greater lie than a truth misunderstood. WILLIAM JAMES
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT DESTINY LIGHT IS THAT WE STILL ACKNOWLEDGE IT—UNAPOLOGETICALLY. AND WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS ABUNDANT LIFE IN GOOD CHRISTIAN LITERATURE, NOT JUST FOR US, BUT FOR ALL WHO LOOK TO JESUS CHRIST. We do not shy from any subject that needs the Light of the Scriptures. WE WORK WITH ALL BOOKSHOPS, CHURCHES, LEARNING INSTITUTIONS…IN THE END, THAT TRUTH MAY BE DISCERNED!
