Well, welcome back to another episode of Five Miss in Church History. On this episode,

we are visiting with our friend, Reverend Kenneth Ibugoa, from Nairobi, Kenya. It's nice to

have you with us. Thank you for having me. So you're here at our national conference,

and when you're back in Nairobi, you're a pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, and you're

also the director of Ecclesia Africa, providing biblical resources for the church there in

Africa. We're glad that you're with us, and I think we're going to do you a favor, Ken. We're

going to send you to a deserted island. We're going to free you of all your responsibilities,

and you can just sit and read for a while. What five books would you take with you to your deserted

island? It's good. So these would be the five one. There's a book called The Bruce Dread,

by Richard Sibs. Good peer timber. I feel like that book is just the cross being applied to

the soul in a potent way. I think it's Spajun, who at the very beginning says that seems in this book

scatters precious pearls with both hands, which I think is just such a picture of what the book is

page by page. Not hypergrace, but the true grace very pottedly and partially applied to the soul.

Next would be the Christian ministry by Charles Bridges. So the Christian ministry and causes

of its inefficacy. As a student training for the ministry, I kept asking the question,

what is the ministry? What's my job? I feel like there are a billion different versions

of what my job actually is. And of everything I have read out there, nothing describes the nature

of the ministry of a pastor better than he does. And he does it in a beautiful way, because it's

it's not just the external stuff. He is digging into your soul. Another one would be a loving life

by Paul Miller. Started this book in my first year of marriage and put it down after a couple of pages.

It was too much. I felt like page after page it was just saying die to yourself, die to yourself.

And I was still in my honeymoon stage. So it's too rough. So now you're ready. I'm ready for it.
