Why Spiritual Embarrassments?
To better understand our books, every reader should remember a fact: we defend sound doctrine. We preach the truth with the conviction that any departure from truth is a source of confusions, embarrassments, and hesitations. A man or a woman who hesitates in his way will be fearful and will act cowardly; hence, he or she will not flourish fully.
Really, the benefits of truth are uncountable; walking in the truth, that is walking with Jesus is worthy of all laudation. Whoever walks in total submission to the Scriptures will never be surprised; He will walk assured of his success. Whatever may happen, his house will stand because of his obeying the Scriptures. Whoever obeys the commands of Jesus builds with God and builds in God.
Spiritual Embarrassments demonstrates the greatness of the true disciple of Jesus Christ. Through short stories, the book invites the reader who wants to grow spiritually, to follow the steps of Jesus with disregards of what may stand against his progression.
What the stories of this Collection have in common:
The 5 stories in this collection have this in common: the heroes all have a thin knowledge only of the Word of God, and the world of darkness undertakes to maltreat and sap their confidence in Jesus.
- Because Kalba and his parents have little knowledge of the Word of God; they are manipulated and severely annoyed by the spirits (2nd story).
- Koffi, the hero of Ritual Baths Deceptions (4th story), has only memories of a joyful youth with Christ. Taking advantage of his estrangement from God, the occult world has plans of death for him. It is then that the childhood remembrances help and orient him under the shelter refuge of Christ.
- Tada in Manhood Attacks (5th story) is strong at the beginning, but neglects the Word of God, becomes fragile and undergoes aggression by the moral harassment of his colleague and the spiritual harassment of the evil spirits. At the end, he gets away thanks to the vigilance of Elder Kuété.
- In Wanderings (1st story), the hero who has received teachings about dreams is gradually distracted by dreams to the point he gives them full confidence, ceases to ensure that his visions conform to the Word. It is after a shameful humiliation that God comes to his rescue.
- Finally, Uncle Sammy (3rd story) is a Christian who practices yoga without knowing that this practice disaccords with the Master Jesus Christ. When he undertakes to know the truth, his spirit-helper guides him into the arms of a false Christ. It is in this story that we see men and spirits altogether confused by the power of the Truth.
What this book teaches: the Christian is strong by his obedience to the Word of God
All the stories from this collection show how essential it is for the Christian to grow in the knowledge of the Word of God. Whoever knows the Word of God will come out of the wiles of the Invisible. He will overcome the traps from false prophets, from false teachers, and from false christs. He will be victorious just like Jesus Christ in the day of temptation in the wilderness.
We proclaim through every short story that he who keeps the commandments of Christ already lives in His glory. It is not enough to proclaim: “I now reign with Christ.” We will certainly do so if we obey His commands. By obeying His Word, no confusion will take place in our lives. (John, Chapters 14 to 17)

Manhood Attacks
Tada is a devout Christian who during a moment of inattention undergoes moral and spiritual harassments.
