Bringing Honour, Prestige and Colour to African Publishing!

At Kente Publishing we believe in stories that are profoundly African. We liken our stories to the Kente cloth – ceremonial garment of the powerful Ashanti Chiefs of Ghana. The Kente cloth brings honour, is prestigious and never ceases to bring colour to an auspicious occasion.

We're b-a-c-k!

While it seemed we were 'sleeping', we really were busy re-organizing and sorting through our 'slush pile'!We have two new books coming out by the end of the year: Devotional Gems and a yet untitled one...and we are super excited! Below is the blurb from Devotional Gems:


A devotional guide that manages to lead us, one day at a time, to the throne of Grace is indeed a gem. Throughout this book, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Apea admonishes and encourages readers to take their faith seriously by drawing on contemporary issues to highlight key themes in the book of Romans. Making the scriptures accessible is its key strength, and our prayer for you as you use this book in your daily walk with the Lord, is that you will clearly hear Paul say:

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing and perfect will".  Romans 12: 1-2


Our author is an amazing man...here is an excerpt of his bio (and yes...we had to cut down a 4-page bio to this!) 
Reverend Emmanuel Apea, PhD was born in Anum, Ghana and schooled at Achimota School, University of Ghana Legon, The University of Sydney (Australia) and Trinity Theological Seminary in the USA. While he is now primarily involved in teaching and coordinating the STEE program at Pentecost University College in Sowutuom, he has been actively involved in leading several Christian Groups (e.g.NextLevel Leadership, UNESCO Christian Fellowship – Paris), and NGO’s (President of West African Association of Science Teachers, Vice-President of CASTME). While his work with The Commonwealth Secretariat and UNESCO (Chief of Section & later Director) took him around the globe, his leadership in setting up churches in the UK and France, nurturing young Christians and empowering those in Christian leadership in Ghana (especially women) has brought him much joy. Although he is officially retired, he is a much loved lecturer, coach, confidante and ‘daddy’ to many who consider him one of the foremost spiritual leaders of our time. Reverend Apea has been happily married to Mrs. Emma Apea since 1967 and they make their home in Pokuase, Ghana. Together, they enjoy spending time with their five children and twelve grandchildren as well as their many more ‘spiritual children’ all around the world. 

We will post the cover and a teaser excerpt once it is officially off the presses and available in bookstores but in the meantime, keep your eyes glued to this page... :)
