As a way of finding a lasting solution to broken marriages in the society, Tony Iwuoma recently launched four books that proffer solutions for couples to overcome this scourge on Whatsapp.

His latest books on marriage include Sexual Fulfillment In Marriage (Understanding Physical Intimacy as designed by God), Limits to Christian Sexuality (Exposing the Cancers in Christian Bedroom); Submission & Love, Inalienable Ingredients for Blissful Marriage and Practical Steps to Building your Marriage on the Rock.

In her address of welcome during the book launch, Mrs. Victoria Precious said Tony was a very focused, stable man and he was an engaging teacher, writer, and counsellor par excellence. 

“Nobody comes in contact with him for counseling over any knotty marital issue without getting relieved. He would take you on a walk through the scriptures to explain the mind of God, concerning marriage. He is a wonderful husband and a good and devoted father, doing his best to live out what he preaches.”

Utonwa Zuruum added Anthony Iwuoma had been a good inspiration in more ways than one: a highly gifted servant of God whose ministry had impacted positively on several people.

“However, a great number of people who have been privileged to come in direct contact with him will tell you that he is what he preaches. There are no pretensions about him. He is passionate about the house of God and writing.

“The Bible says a man’s gift makes a way for him. I pray for this scripture to find expression in Pastor Iwuoma’s life. May the Lord bless the pen with which he writes and gives him a voice in high places.

“Tony Iwuoma is an unassuming servant of God. His name travels several kilometers ahead of his approach. His writing prowess is second to none, and nothing gives him more passion than writing. The only thing that compares closely to this passion is the work of God.

Lending her voice, Mrs Bose Udochukwu noted: “As a marriage therapist, those that have sat under his ministry return to their homes a lot better. He is adept in using the word of God to wash his listeners clean of all devilish attachments designed to breach the will of God in Christian homes; in fact, any home at all.

“I must say of the truth that my life and marriage have been blessed and remain blessed since I encountered this servant of God. I pray for the success of this book launch; he truly deserves the breakthrough. Not just for himself but so that he would be able to take his ministry a notch higher for the good of families and the glory of God.”

Benjamin Nwayotalu, on his part, said: “My path and that of Anthony crossed some years ago through his piercing and truth-laden essays in The Sun Newspaper. Most importantly, I observed that he has this dexterity or the serendipity to write both on secular, as well as religious topics. I got interested in him and in time I became an avid reader of his essays.

“The most important aspect of him is that he absorbs criticisms, because, sometimes, I wrote back to him explaining an entirely different opinion from the topic he dealt with, and he’d calmly call me back or write back with further explanations. I’m not surprised at all that he’s able to achieve this milestone in book writing on the very topical issues that he’s treated. Such knowledge or inspiration isn’t ordinary. It’s supernatural.”

Nnanyere Nwachukwu, who reviewed Unveiled: Fundamental Ingredients for Blissful Marriage, noted: “Basically, the author said, the two chefs (husband and wife) apply the two ingredients (submission and love) generously if they really want an enduring, blissful union. While the wife is to submit to her husband and the husband to love his wife.” 

Continuing, the reviewer said: “The author observes that submission breeds better relationships in marriage. The man needs that for his emotional stability and reciprocates by loving and providing for his wife. This mutual dependence helps to cement ties between couples. It helps to increase love and respect in the marriage. When there is harmony in the marriage, peace is assured.

“This book is priceless and discloses how best to blend the undeniable and inalienable ingredients of love and submission to create the ever-blissful marriage you desire.

However, it could be argued that some of the views expressed are controversial. For instance, many may question the possibility of total submission in modern times as presented. This may be a hard pill for some wives to swallow. Even at that, would all husbands be mature enough to deal with their wives’ submissiveness without being swollen-headed and misusing it?”

Charles Nzeduru, in his review of Sexual Fulfillment in Marriage as Ordained By God, appreciated the author for writing this inspiring book.

“I have read the book over and over again and I must confess that this life transforming book is a new model for a stronger, romantic, joyful and long lasting marriage. The book is a bold statement on a very fundamental issue, threatening the Christian faith. Because we live in a morally polluted world, it becomes imperative to recommend to believers the mind of God on this very important subject.

“The book aims to commit Christians to purity in their sexual relationship, as approved by God, who is the originator. This book is a must-read for pastors, parents, guardians, counselors, leaders, and ministers. “

The author, explaining why he wrote the book, said the marriage institution was as old as man, adding, “In fact, the next major thing God did after creation was to institute marriage. It would not even be far-fetched to say creation was not complete until marriage came into it.

“That, perhaps, was what God was talking about when he realised that there was not a suitable mate for the man and then went ahead to create the woman to complete him.

“So, marriage is very fundamental to God, and to man. It is also of great interest to the devil because the devil knows that the institution is very dear to God.

“My motivation for writing the books is simple -—Education —because the Bible deplores ignorance because of which it says people perish. So, I devote my time in prayer and study to fish out what’s God’s mind, concerning all aspects of marriage, right from courtship to consummation of the union, as well as drawing from the pool of practical experience in marriage over the years.”
