— Welcome I’m Dereck Naftal Mbanzendole
About me
I am a Tanzanian author helping people recognize God’s design and discover purpose.
I write honest books uniting Scripture, science, and practical wisdom for meaningful living.
I didn’t always see faith and science as natural companions. My training as a Civil Engineer, including an MSc from the University of Dar es Salaam, taught me to observe, measure, and analyze. But the more I studied Scripture and reflected on the human body, the animal kingdom, and the vastness of the cosmos, the more I saw them speaking the same language; both revealing truth, both pointing to the same Creator. My books are born from that discovery. They’re written for anyone who’s ever wondered if faith requires setting aside reason, or if understanding the world means abandoning wonder.
I want readers to see themselves and the world as God does: fearfully and wonderfully made, intentionally designed, and entrusted with care of creation. My hope is that these books awaken curiosity, deepen conviction, and inspire lives marked by purpose and responsibility.
I live in Dar es Salaam with my wife Edith and our children, Mercy and Aika. This is where I write, wrestle with big questions, and continue this mission—one book, one reader, one conversation at a time.
