In Encounters, Patrick B. Appiah explores Scripture and lived experience to reveal how renewed awareness of God transforms faith, identity, and life.
(PRUnderground) February 17th, 2026
Encounters traces accounts from the Bible including Abraham, Moses, David and the early Church, alongside reflections on the work of the Holy Spirit in everyday life. Rather than presenting spiritual experience as something rare or dramatic, Appiah focuses on how faith is shaped through attentiveness, obedience and reflection. The book positions divine encounter as a catalyst for inner change rather than a guarantee of outcomes or answers.
According to the author, the book was written in response to what he sees as a growing interest in spirituality that is often framed around personal effort or self-improvement. Encounters instead emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit as central to Christian faith and spiritual awakening, encouraging readers to reconsider how belief is formed and sustained.
“Many people engage with Christianity as an inherited identity rather than a lived relationship,” Appiah said. “This book invites readers to reflect on how faith moves from theory into experience, and how transformation in Scripture often begins with an encounter that reorients a person’s life.”
Published by Grand Publishers and available in hardback, paperback and ebook formats on Amazon and various retailers, the book is aimed primarily at Christians who may feel disconnected from their faith practice, as well as a wider Christian audience interested in theological reflection and spiritual growth. Its themes include divine presence in ordinary life, spiritual awakening and personal transformation, presented in a calm and reflective tone rather than prescriptive instruction.
Encounters is structured around key biblical examples and concepts, including the idea of “arising” as a response to faith, the role of obedience in spiritual formation and the ways encounters with God are described across different periods of Scripture. Appiah does not position the work as a memoir or devotional guide, but as a reflective study grounded in the Bible and Christian theology.
Patrick B. Appiah is a UK-based Christian author whose work focuses on faith, spirituality and the role of the Holy Spirit in contemporary Christian life. He is also associated with The Rhema Chapel, where teaching and discussion centre on biblical interpretation and spiritual formation.
