Africa doesn't need another prophet. It needs inventors. Builders. Coders. Scientists. Strategists.
For too long, the continent has been taught to look upward for salvation-while the rest of the world builds forward. While we fast and pray, others innovate and patent. This book is a bold and unapologetic call to reclaim Africa's agency-not through superstition, but through science; not through sermons, but through systems.
Kayumba David, a theologian, diplomat, and PhD candidate, delivers a searing indictment of religious over-dependence and a visionary blueprint for practical transformation. Drawing from theology, history, economics, and post-colonial thought, he challenges Africans to rethink what it truly means to believe, to build, and to lead.
This is not a book about abandoning faith. It's about marrying faith with function. It's about choosing factories over just fasting. It's about replacing imported microphones with local invention. It's about awakening a sleeping giant with tools, not just with tongues.
If you're ready to stop praying for rain and start digging canals-this book is for you. If you're tired of imported everything-from ideas to pencils-this book is for you. If you believe Africa can rise from the grave of dependency and step into destiny-this book is for you.
Let this book provoke you. Let it equip you. Let it awaken the builder in you.
The resurrection Africa needs... is already in your hands.

Kayumba David ? Theologian, Diplomat, and Relentless Reader
Born in rural Uganda during political upheavals, Kayumba David learned early on that life was a mix of dodging both bullets and tough questions. Drawn to theology, particularly liberation theology, he became fascinated with how faith could challenge oppression. He quickly earned a reputation for asking deep questions?and writing essays in his textbooks' margins.
Seeking a "break," he dove into international relations and diplomacy, blending peacemaking with a passion for justice, while secretly wishing everyone would read more. An avid reader and social justice advocate, Kayumba now writes with humor and wisdom, drawing from a life rich in both books and battles for change
