The word Asante means "Thank you" in Swahili.
Asante Knowledge Hub was birthed out of a deep desire to communicate the truth and foundations of a relationship with God our Father through Jesus Christ.
This is a hub of knowledge, through Christian content presented in simple, easy-to-understand language. The size of the books also helps with engagement, especially for young readers who may still be intimidated by voluminous books.
This hub is a special dedication of Thanks to God and The Holy Spirit for the revelation and wisdom He has entrusted me with through the books I write. It is an honour to share God’s word in this way.

Foreword: TRAIN UP A CHILD
“We live in a day and age where parents need to take up their position in teaching and training their children in the way they should go (Deuteronomy 6:4, Proverbs 22:6)
At times, parents wish children came with user manuals, especially when it comes to imparting the beliefs and convictions that they hold to their children.
A prison warden in South Africa told me that she came to realize that most of the inmates she attends to could not have landed there if someone had taken the time to instill in them the fear of the Lord while they were young.
Here is a book that guides parents on what to do. Very deep stuff, but presented in a language that any child can understand.
You will be grateful to have gotten this book.”

Foreword: AN IDENTITY IN GOD
“It is with great joy that I write this foreword to a very important title. The issue of identity is strongly tied to one’s performance in life and ultimately to destiny.
The author has in this book weaved through issues associated with identity from the nature and nurture factors, that is genetics, environment, upbringing as well as association as factors affecting identity. She brought out the bold and solid fact that real identity is found and settled when we find it in God.
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Acts 17:28.
The author of this book clearly showed that we have our being in God and that human identities, differences, and preferences are small and we cannot settle on them and give them prominence and preeminence.
This book is a Do It Yourself manual not only for adolescents and teens but even adults who lack definite identity and who are suffering from identity crises.
I pray that as you set your eyes on this book, the words of this book leap from the pages into your mind and heart and settle issues of identity thus empowering you to be who you are and do all that God designed you to do.
Thank you, Irene. The Lord makes your pen an unending fountain releasing more words of life.
