Why this was written
My experience of raising our beloved daughter, Ayanfe, with my wife inspired this book. Ayanfe was born with a genetic disorder, which led to a quest for an intelligent and biblical account of how evil, pain, and suffering can coexist with an omnibenevolent, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God.

Praise for Behold, I Make All Things New!
“This book is a compendium for all people in difficult situations who are asking where is God? or why has the good God allowed this to happen to me? It is an antidote for depression caused by troubles of life. Its academic, theological, spiritual, and practical richness makes it useful for readers from different backgrounds.”
“Put on your thinking cap as you read this book. Do not try to skim through its pages… When you have completed a thorough and considered reading, you will be better equipped to minister the gospel to the unbelieving — and to encourage the believer.”
“Caleb Agboola responds in this tender ode of a father pondering the desperate pain of the path his family has journeyed with their precious daughter Ayanfe… Prepare for moments of tears, reflection, illumination, and perhaps even of heated debate.”
“Never have I come across a book that affected my Christian faith like Behold, I Make All Things New! It is more than an inspiration. It is actually a revelation of how God wants us to deal with pain and unpalatable events in life.”
