Parenting advocate, author and humanitarian Blessing Amos Bauna is set to launch her new book, Raising Her King, Preparing His Queen, in Abuja on Sunday, August 30, 2026.
The book launch will take place at 4:00 p.m. at ECWA Grace Church, 1st Avenue, Gwarinpa, Abuja, and is expected to attract parents, family members, faith leaders, educators, mentors and supporters of the author’s work.
Raising Her King, Preparing His Queen is a two-part publication comprising Raising a King for His Queen and Raising a Queen for Her King. The book combines biblical principles with practical guidance on preparing children and young people for responsibility, relationships, leadership, adulthood and family life.
Bauna said the book was inspired by her experiences as a parenting mentor and Sunday School teacher.
One experience involved a boy who refused to assist with routine classroom duties, saying such responsibilities were “not my job. I am a boy”. Another involved a newly married woman who struggled with aspects of family life because she had not developed some basic practical skills while growing up.
According to Bauna, the experiences highlighted the need for parents to prepare children beyond academic achievement by intentionally developing their character, sense of responsibility, relationships, practical skills and values.
The book addresses servant leadership, godly character, healthy relationships, practical life skills, and a Christ-centred approach to marriage and family. It also offers guidance for teenagers and young adults.
“Our children are tomorrow’s husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, and leaders. If we prepare them well today, they will become a blessing to their families, communities, and society,” she said.
Bauna, a mother of three, is also involved in humanitarian activities supporting children and vulnerable people. She serves as Trustee and Abuja Coordinator of the Pad Me A Girl Empowerment Foundation and runs Moment with AuntyB, an online platform focused on parenting and Christian family values.
She has invited members of the public to attend the launch as she marks what she described as the fulfilment of a vision to promote intentional parenting and help raise a responsible next generation.
