Anchored in the Word by Kow Abaka Essuman

On the eve of his fortieth birthday, lawyer and public servant Kow Essuman set out on a personal journey of gratitude – a forty-day fast to thank God for forty years of grace, favour, and protection. Near the end of that fast, during a quiet midnight prayer, he received a divine instruction that would change his plans entirely: “Write a book about forty Bible verses that have shaped your life.”What followed was an act of obedience and faith. With only ten days to his birthday, Kow began to write, compiling the Scriptures that had guided him through the defining seasons of his life – moments of triumph and testing, waiting and renewal, leadership and surrender. The result is Anchored in the Word: Forty Bible Verses That Shaped My Life, a deeply personal and faith-filled reflection on the power of Scripture to transform, sustain, and direct a believer’s journey.Each chapter centers on a verse that spoke to Kow in a particular moment – from “Seek first the kingdom of God” to “All things work together for good.” Through honest storytelling, spiritual insight, and practical lessons, he reveals how God’s Word has been the constant anchor in his life – keeping him grounded in times of uncertainty, courageous in moments of challenge, and grateful in seasons of abundance.More than a devotional, Anchored in the Word is a testimony of divine faithfulness and the beauty of obedience. It invites readers to reflect on their own journeys and to rediscover the living power of Scripture. Whether you are seeking encouragement, clarity, or a renewed sense of purpose, this book will remind you that when your life is anchored in the Word, every storm becomes part of God’s design – and every season leads you closer to His promise.
