Elder Oliseh declared that anyone who will join the company to publish the word will become an achiever of distinction. He acknowledged the vision of the book writer which translated to distribution for public consumption.
The chairman likened the book launch to firing a rocket but noted that this would require a force behind it. He said that the book may not get to its destination until it is propelled by being launched publicly. He then appealed to the congregation and Christians world over to be part of it and take full advantage of the benefits in Secrets to Answered Prayers.
Similarly, the book reviewer, Min. (Dr.) Gordon Amangabara commenced his review by saying that it is important to know secrets and informed that part of the idea the author tried to put across, especially to Christians is to ensure they pray with purpose.
The reviewer noted that the work was dedicated to the author’s lovely family. “The author gave guides, knowing that the subject of prayers is mostly misunderstood,” he said. According to the reviewer, the book containing 10 chapters considered what it takes to pray: and be guided by God: that prayer is not the last result: it is a communion with the Father, among others.

He explained that writers have intentions while readers have expectation. The author stated that his background in Islam led to his perspective. “In my quest to know God, I discovered the power of prayer. I also write because of the attitude of Christians to prayer. And because I have preached on the subject, I have the passion to write about it, “as he stated part of his intentions for writing.
The book launch which came up on the last Sunday in the month of January was well attended by the church congregation at Rhema Chapel International churches Port Harcourt.
