Turning Stone to Bread: Resisting the Temptation to Settle

Stone to Bread is not just a book about corruption-it's a confrontation with the quiet compromises that erode character in the name of survival. Drawing from the biblical account of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, Ephraim Unuigbe reframes the Nigerian public sector as a modern wilderness where believers are daily invited to turn stones into bread-to meet legitimate needs through illegitimate means.
This book speaks directly to Spirit-filled Christians navigating the tension between faith and function in a broken system. It explores the subtle seductions of power, the rationalizations of compromise, and the spiritual cost of silence. Through theological reflection, real-world case studies, and a prophetic call to integrity, Stone to Bread challenges the Nigerian Church-especially the Pentecostal movement-to move beyond emotional spirituality and embrace the costly path of righteousness.
Whether you're a civil servant, contractor, pastor, or policymaker, this book will help you wrestle with the hard questions:

• Can a believer thrive in public service without selling out?
• What does it mean to be Spirit-filled in a system that rewards compromise?
• How do we resist the pressure to survive at the cost of our soul?

This is not a book of easy answers. It's a call to courage, clarity, and conviction. Because in a world that rewards compromise, choosing integrity is a radical act of worship.
