The Unfettered Woman (E-book)

The Unfettered Woman is a captivating collection of fictional short stories that explore faith, identity, and freedom through the lens of Nigerian womanhood.

In Stolen Glory, a lady’s boyfriend abruptly ends their relationship because his mother’s pastor claims her ‘glory’ has been stolen. Despite suffering repeated physical abuse from her husband, Aimalohi’s pastor urges her to remain in the marriage because ‘God hates divorce’. A first-class graduate is advised to ‘fix her faulty family foundation’ to overcome Near Success Syndrome to get a job. In The Necklace, an upwardly mobile lady rents a boyfriend to convince a landlady to rent her a flat. A 30-something high-achieving career woman must get Delivered to find a suitor or risk being ‘on the shelf forever’.

The book follows the journeys of women who find lasting freedom by embracing their identity in Christ. Through emotionally rich stories of love, loss, survival, and hope, the book gently challenges fear-based teachings, generational curses and deliverance-centred doctrines prevalent in some Nigerian churches. Instead, it offers grace, renewal of mind, and the liberating message of the finished work of Jesus Christ.
