Authors Roy and Daphne Okonkwo offer a treasure to readers (and aspiring readers) of Nigerian Pidgin in Translating the Bible: Our Journey with God ($30.99, paperback, 9781662808340; $41.49, hard cover, 9781662808357; $9.99, e-book, 9781662808364).
In this book, readers receive a 3-in-1 deal. The Okonkwo’s present their translation of the Gospel of Matthew in the standardized orthography of Nigerian Pidgin, a chapter teaching anyone interested how to read and write the language, and finally their personal testimony and journey in Bible translation.
“Our desire is that this book will help speakers of Nigerian Pidgin to read and understand God’s message in their heart language. It will also help non speakers of Nigerian Pidgin to learn how to speak and read in the language,” said Okonkwo.
