By Best Eastwood Anaba Books to Empower Your Faith (Top 21 Picks)
A guide to the most impactful works of one of Africa’s most prolific Christian authors.
There are writers who inform the mind. There are preachers who stir the heart. And then, occasionally, there is a voice that does both — that takes the truths of Scripture and drives them so deep into your thinking and your living that you are simply not the same person you were before you picked up the book. Reverend Eastwood Anaba is that kind of voice.
Rev. Anaba has spent more than three decades preaching the Gospel to millions across Africa and the world. He is the Founder and President of Eastwood Anaba Ministries (EAM), headquartered in Bolgatanga, Ghana. Pastor Eastwood and his wife, Rosemond, serve as Senior Pastors of Desert Pastures — Fountain Gate Chapel, a people-oriented and mission-hearted ministry with over 250 member churches worldwide.
He is a revivalist with an uncompromising message on the Holy Ghost, Righteousness, Discipline and Order in the Body of Christ, with a powerful emphasis on the Love of God, and has now authored over 100 books.
What makes Rev. Anaba exceptional as a writer is the same thing that makes him exceptional as a preacher: he does not write to impress — he writes to transform.
His books are dense with Scripture, honest about the state of the modern Church, and full of the kind of practical spiritual intelligence that only comes from years of genuine ministry in the trenches.
This guide introduces you to some of his most significant works. Whether you are new to his writing or have followed his ministry for years, there is something here for every season of your spiritual life.
1. Activating God’s Presence
Theme: Divine Encounter | Presence of God | Spiritual Hunger
There is a difference between knowing about God and actually experiencing him. Many believers live their entire Christian lives in the first category — theologically informed, church-attending, Bible-reading — and yet somehow distant from the tangible reality of God’s presence that the Scriptures describe and that the great men and women of faith knew intimately.
Activating God’s Presence is Eastwood Anaba’s direct address to that gap. Drawing from Scripture and from his own deep life of prayer and ministry, Anaba identifies the conditions, postures, and spiritual practices through which the presence of God is not merely hoped for but genuinely activated and experienced.
He roots the teaching firmly in the Word — from Moses asking to see God’s glory on Sinai, to the disciples gathered in the upper room, to the great revivals of church history — and shows that God’s manifest presence has always responded to a people who prepared themselves to receive it.
This is a book for the believer who is hungry for more. Get your copy
2. The Millennium Pages of Love
Theme: Divine Love | Agape | Love Revolution
Some books survey a topic. This one inhabits it. The Millennium Pages of Love is Eastwood Anaba’s most comprehensive treatment of the subject that sits at the very center of his ministry — the love of God, and the Church’s urgent need to recover it.
At nearly one thousand pages, this is not a book you finish in a weekend. It is a manual — a thorough, searching, and often challenging exploration of what God’s love actually looks like when it moves from doctrine into life. Anaba covers love in its relationship to unity, to spiritual power, to leadership, to the end-time purposes of God, and to the personal walk of every believer.
The book is the literary heartbeat of Anaba’s Love Revolution campaign — his passionate, ongoing call for the Church to stop treating love as a secondary theme and recognize it as the central reality of the Kingdom of God. Get your copy
3. The Love Revolution
Theme: Love | Church Unity | Revival
If The Millennium Pages of Love is the comprehensive study, The Love Revolution is the battle cry. Short, urgent, and written with the fire of a man who has seen what the absence of love costs the Church, this book calls believers and church leaders to a radical reckoning.
Anaba is direct: love has been displaced in the modern Church by the pursuit of success, prosperity, and personal breakthrough. The result is a Body of Christ that is powerful in some ways and deeply fractured in others — full of gifted individuals who cannot seem to love and serve one another the way Jesus commanded.
His answer is not a program or a strategy. It is a revolution — a return to the agape love of God as the governing reality of the Christian community. This book will challenge you, and if you let it, it will change how you see every relationship in your ministry and your life. Get your copy
4. Satisfaction: I Shall Not Want
Theme: Contentment | God’s Provision | Psalm 23
The world is full of dissatisfied people — including, if we are honest, a great many dissatisfied Christians. People who have more than enough and still feel like it is not enough. People who have received genuine blessings from God and yet live in a quiet state of spiritual restlessness that they cannot quite name.
Anaba goes to the root of this condition in Satisfaction, drawing his framework from one of the most beloved passages in all of Scripture: Psalm 23. He builds a compelling case that true, lasting satisfaction comes not from accumulation but from settlement — settling into God’s promises, into God’s presence, into the inheritance that belongs to every believer in Christ.
This is a deeply pastoral book, full of compassion for the believer who is striving and straining when God is calling them to rest. Read it slowly, and let it do its work. Get your copy
5. Satisfaction Warrant
Theme: Prayer | Psalm 23 | Intercession
Satisfaction Warrant is the prayer companion to Satisfaction — a manual designed to turn the truths of that book into active, specific, Spirit-led prayer. Anaba believes deeply that the blessings of God do not simply fall upon passive people; they are pursued, contended for, and received through the authority of prayer.
The “warrant” in the title is a legal term Anaba uses deliberately: prayer, he argues, is the believer’s authorizing document — the grounds on which we enter God-given territory and claim what has already been secured by the blood of Christ. The imagery of Psalm 23 runs through every page, reminding readers that the God who leads his people beside still waters also prepares a table for them in the presence of their enemies.
Get both Satisfaction and Satisfaction Warrant together — the combination is a complete spiritual toolkit for living in the fullness of what God has promised.→ Get your copy
6. Four Kinds
Theme: Spiritual Warfare | Wicked Spirits | Warfare Christianity
Taking its foundational text from Jeremiah 15:3, Four Kinds is one of Anaba’s most direct treatments of the subject of spiritual warfare. The book arms readers with the knowledge, authority, and biblical understanding they need to be genuine conquerors in the war against wicked spirits — not passive victims of spiritual attack, but active soldiers in the army of God.
Anaba’s distinction between “fanfare Christianity” — a faith built on excitement and performance — and “warfare Christianity” — a faith that understands it is in a real war with real consequences — is one of the most clarifying concepts in his entire body of work. It has particular resonance for believers in parts of the world where spiritual opposition is not theoretical but daily and tangible. → Get your copy
7. Settlement: A Call to Possess Your Promised Land
Theme: Spiritual Inheritance | Obadiah | Possessing Your Possessions
Many believers know they have a divine inheritance. What they have not done is actually move into it. They are camping at the border of their promised land, fully persuaded it exists, but not yet possessing it — kept out by fear, by displacement, by spiritual inertia, or simply by not knowing how to cross over.
Settlement is Anaba’s commanding call to cross. Anchored in the often-overlooked book of Obadiah, he uses the imagery of Israel’s remnant returning to Mount Zion as a picture of what God is calling his people to in every generation — to shake off displacement and step into the full spiritual and practical inheritance that Christ has already secured for them.
This is a book that confronts passive Christianity and calls believers to active, faith-filled possession of everything God has spoken over their lives. Get your copy
8. Settlement Warrant: Possessing Our Promised Land
Theme: Prayer | Spiritual Territory | Agreement in Prayer
Settlement Warrant functions as the prayer companion to Settlement, equipping readers to pray with authority and specificity over the territories — spiritual, physical, professional, and familial — that God has called them to possess.
Anaba emphasizes the power of agreement in prayer throughout this manual, drawing from the principle that one shall put a thousand to flight, but two shall put ten thousand. The prayers in this book are designed to be prayed in community, in families, and in small groups — because settlement, like everything else in the Kingdom, is meant to be pursued together. Get your copy
9. Saviours
Theme: Leadership | Holy Ghost Empowerment | Deliverance Ministry
What does it look like when a leader is genuinely empowered by the Holy Ghost to bring deliverance to the people under their care? Not leadership as management, not leadership as organizational skill, but leadership as a divine calling to serve as an instrument of God’s purposes in a specific time and place?
That is the question at the heart of Saviours. Drawing from the biblical concept of judges and deliverers — men and women raised up by God to rescue his people when they were under oppression — Anaba makes the case that God is still raising such people today, in every sphere of society, and that the Church needs to recognize, equip, and release them.
This is a book for leaders who sense that God has placed them in a position not for their own advancement but for the deliverance of others. It is demanding, clarifying, and deeply inspiring. Get your copy
10. Saviours’ Warrant: The Authority of Prayer
Theme: Prayer | Intercession | Divine Authority
Saviours’ Warrant extends the message of Saviours into the prayer room, focusing over forty days on the specific content and authority of prayer that a leader-deliverer must maintain. Anaba’s conviction throughout is that no saviour operates effectively in the earth without a sustained prayer life behind them — prayer is the warrant, the authorizing power, that enables leaders to execute God’s mandate in their generation.
This is a prayer manual of genuine depth, suited for leaders in church ministry, marketplace missions, and any sphere where God has called a believer to exercise influence for his Kingdom. Get your copy
11. Humility
Theme: Character | Virtue | Christlike Living
In a generation that has largely confused confidence with arrogance and mistaken humility for weakness, Anaba’s book on this subject is a necessary corrective. He traces the word itself back to its Latin root — humus, meaning earth or ground — and shows that true humility is not self-deprecation but the voluntary choice to take the lower position, to serve rather than be served, to empty oneself of the need for recognition.
This was, Anaba argues, the hallmark of old-time Christianity. It is conspicuously absent from much of what passes for Christianity today. And its recovery, he believes, is essential to the health, the unity, and the spiritual authority of the Church. A quiet, searching, and deeply convicting read. Get your copy
12. Overcoming the Spirit of Envy
Theme: Anointing | Spiritual Enemies | Victory
One of the consequences of walking in genuine anointing, blessing, and God-given success is that it attracts not only friends but enemies. Anaba writes about this with the honesty of a man who has experienced it firsthand. The spirit of envy, he argues, is one of the most persistent and destructive forces that works against believers who are obedient to God’s call.
Overcoming the Spirit of Envy equips readers to recognize this spirit, to protect themselves from its effects without becoming bitter or defensive, and to keep walking in love even toward those who wish them harm. This is one of the most practically useful books in Anaba’s library for believers who are in positions of visible ministry or leadership. Get your copy
13. Explodables: Unveiling Spiritual Dynamics
Theme: Kingdom Power | Spiritual Warfare | Unbelief
In Explodables, Anaba delves into the explosive dynamics of the Kingdom of God. Through biblical narratives, he illustrates how the power of God builds up believers but acts as a force against unbelievers. The term “explodables” describes those who resist the transformative power of the Gospel due to ignorance and pride.
Using vivid biblical examples — from Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel to the confrontations of the early apostles — Anaba shows that the same power that transforms willing hearts will, without exception, eventually break resistant ones. This is a spiritually sobering and ultimately encouraging book for believers who have wondered why the power of God sometimes seems to shake things apart rather than hold them together. Get your copy
14. Explosive: Reviving the Church’s Fire
Theme: Revival | Church History | Holy Ghost
Explosive situates the present moment in the long story of the Holy Ghost’s movements through the Church. Anaba surveys the great revivals of Christian history — the moments when the Church was on fire, when unbelievers were converted by the thousands, when the power of God broke across entire regions — and asks what conditions made those revivals possible.
His answer is not comfortable for a comfortable Church. But it is honest, and it carries within it a genuine and urgent hope: that such a move of God is not only possible but coming — and that the Church’s task is to prepare for it rather than sleep through it. Get your copy
15. Explode: A Call to Holy Ghost Empowerment
Theme: Holy Spirit | Empowerment | Revival
Anaba does not believe in a mild, domesticated Christianity. In Explode, he issues a compelling call for believers to hunger for, and expect, a genuinely explosive encounter with the Holy Ghost — the kind that breaks the fear, the feebleness, and the small-mindedness that keep so many believers living far below their spiritual inheritance.
The book paints a picture of the Church that was born in fire at Pentecost and asks a straightforward question: why are we settling for less? Anaba envisions a Church that is fierce in faith, bold in witness, and saturated in the power of the Spirit — and he gives readers both the theological framework and the personal challenge to begin pursuing that reality today. Get your copy
16. Explosion
Theme: Holy Spirit | Prophecy | End-Time Revival
Explosion is prophetic in the most classical sense of the word — it speaks God’s word into the present moment with clarity and urgency. Drawing from the prophecy of Joel, Anaba paints a picture of a coming, large-scale outpouring of the Holy Ghost that will be impossible to contain or ignore.
This is a book for the believer who is dissatisfied with “impotent religion” — the form of godliness that denies the power thereof — and who longs for the Church to walk again in the fullness of what God has always intended for her. Get your copy
17. The Sons of Oil
Theme: Anointing | Spiritual Authority | Zechariah
Drawing from the vision of Zechariah 4 and the two olive trees that stand before the Lord of the whole earth, Anaba examines the anointing in the lives of Joshua and Zerubbabel — representing spiritual and civil authority, respectively — as a pattern for the double anointing that God is releasing in the Body of Christ today.
This is a book for believers who understand that the work of God in the earth requires both spiritual authority and practical, earthly influence — and who want to understand how those two dimensions of calling work together toward God’s purposes. Get your copy
18. The Sons of Rest
Theme: Support Ministry | Serving | Body of Christ
Not every person in the Body of Christ is called to be a preacher. Some of the most essential and most overlooked members of the Church are those who make the ministry of others possible — through prayer, through finances, through practical service, through encouragement, and through the quiet godliness that creates an environment where God can move.
Anaba calls these people the “sons of rest,” and The Sons of Rest is his celebration and recognition of their indispensable role. This is a book for the people who serve faithfully in the background, and it will make them feel seen, valued, and properly understood in their calling for perhaps the first time. Get your copy
19. Building a Solid Church
Theme: Ecclesiology | Five-Fold Ministry | Church Health
What makes a church truly solid? Not large — solid. Not impressive by external measures — genuinely strong in the qualities that actually sustain a community of believers through difficulty, false teaching, spiritual attack, and the ordinary wear of time.
Eastwood Anaba answers that question with precision and pastoral care in Building a Solid Church, drawing from Matthew 16:18-19 and the principle that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church Christ is building. He gives particular attention to the five-fold ministry and its role in equipping every member of the congregation to function in their calling — not to produce a crowd of spectators but a body of active, empowered servants. Get your copy
20. Falling Under the Power: Understanding Spirituals
Theme: Spiritual Manifestations | Holy Spirit | Discernment
In a healthy, Spirit-filled Church, unusual physical manifestations sometimes accompany encounters with God. People fall, shake and weep uncontrollably. Some stand motionless. These things can confuse, frighten, or fascinate, depending on what frame of reference the observer brings.
Anaba approaches these manifestations with both biblical grounding and pastoral wisdom. He traces them from Scripture through church history to the present, neither dismissing them as emotionalism nor encouraging an uncritical pursuit of experience for its own sake. What he offers is something rarer and more valuable: discernment.
The ability to recognize what is genuinely of God, to appreciate it without idolizing it, and to keep the focus always on the Person whose presence produces these effects. Get your copy
21. The Workability of Faith
Theme: Faith | God’s Word | Confession
Faith is not a feeling. It is not an attitude. It is not positive thinking with a Bible verse attached to it. In The Workability of Faith, Eastwood Anaba gives a thorough, biblically grounded account of what faith actually is, how it actually operates, and why it is available to every believer on exactly equal terms — regardless of background, education, wealth, or personality.
His definition of faith as a “now thing” — distinct from hope, which is future-oriented — is one of the most clarifying distinctions in the book, and it has helped many readers understand why the faith that moves mountains must be exercised in the present tense, not deferred to a future moment when conditions feel more favorable.

A Note on Reading Eastwood Anaba
Pastor Eastwood Anaba is a revivalist with an uncompromising message on the Holy Ghost, Righteousness, Discipline and Order in the Body of Christ, with a powerful emphasis on the Love of God. Those five themes — the Holy Ghost, righteousness, discipline, order, and love — run through everything he writes. Once you recognize them, you begin to see how his entire body of work forms a unified vision for what the Church of Jesus Christ is meant to be and how individual believers are meant to live.
Rev. Eastwood Anaba does not write to entertain or write to flatter. He writes to equip, to challenge, and to call the Body of Christ to the full stature of what God intends for her. If you read his books with an open heart and a willingness to be changed, you will be.
A few suggestions for getting the most from Eastwood Anaba books:
Read the companion volumes together. The Satisfaction/Satisfaction Warrant pair, the Settlement/Settlement Warrant pair, and the Saviours/Saviours’ Warrant pair are each designed to work in tandem — the first book builds the theological foundation, the second book drives it into prayer. Do not separate them.
Read slowly. Anaba packs a great deal into relatively short books. A chapter that takes ten minutes to read may take several days to fully digest and apply.
Read in community. These books work exceptionally well in small groups, men’s fellowships, and cell groups. The discussions they generate tend to go somewhere real.
Begin with what meets your current need. If you are in a season of spiritual dryness, begin with Activating God’s Presence. Is your marriage or relationships feel spiritually dry, begin with The Love Revolution. If you are in a leadership role and feeling the weight of it, begin with Saviours.
