From Marketing Executive to Author: Evelyn Mwasa Launches 'Wakisa Devotions'

In a world saturated with digital distractions and fleeting trends, Evelyn B. W. Mwasa believes there’s a profound and growing need for spiritual grounding and a return to scripture. Leveraging her professional background in marketing and leadership, Mwasa has transformed her personal journey of Bible study, prayer, and reflection into “Wakisa Devotions – Part 1.”

The book is designed to help readers extract practical wisdom from the Bible and integrate it into their daily lives. Mwasa was inspired to undertake this project after a year-long Bible study in 2025, which she felt compelled by her pastors to pursue. This period of deep study, coupled with insights from inspirational books, empowered her to journal her reflections and ultimately compile them into a devotional.

She felt the current complex global climate, marked by uncertainty and a search for hope, made this an opportune moment to release “Wakisa Devotions.” Mwasa sees a parallel between current societal challenges and those faced in the Old Testament, emphasizing that these ancient texts offer vital guidance for contemporary issues.

Drawing from her marketing expertise, which involves understanding and addressing societal needs, Mwasa applies a similar approach to her faith. She has come to realize that aligning her professional endeavors with divine principles enhances her productivity and purpose. This perspective shifts her focus from merely promoting services to making a tangible positive impact—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—on others, a spirit she aims to instill through her book.

The central message of “Wakisa Devotions – Part 1” is that the Old Testament is not just historical record but a living source of guidance. Mwasa encourages readers to glean lessons, understand God’s heart, discern His will, and surrender their struggles through prayer.

Among the biblical figures explored, Joseph’s story particularly resonates with Mwasa’s own life journey, highlighting themes of purpose tested by trials but ultimately fulfilling God’s plan. She emphasizes the enduring power of humility, patience, and trust in God as crucial elements for navigating life’s challenges.

“Wakisa Devotions – Part 1” is available at Aristoc Booklex, Amazon (paperback and Kindle), Lacedri Forex Bureau, and Ndiko Advocates. It will soon be available at Uganda Bookshop, and can also be accessed at the National Library on Buganda Road. Mwasa is already working on “Wakisa Devotions – Part 2,” with further series planned to guide readers from the Old Testament towards the New Testament, aiming to foster deeper Bible study and prayer.

For more details, readers can visit “Wakisa Devotions” on Amazon or inquire at the mentioned outlets. This work aims to equip readers with a stronger understanding of God’s Word, aligning their lives with His will.
