It is incredible that Rev Mushindo had time to write books despite his heavy days. He wrote three Bemba titles, ''[[Imilumbe Nenshimi]]'' (Riddles and Folktales), ''[[Amapinda Mulyashi]]'' (Proverbs in Conversations) and ''[[Ulubuto Mumfifi]]'' (Light in Darkness) and two English titles, ''[[A Short History of the Bemba]]'' and the ''[[Life of A Zambian Evangelist: the Reminiscences of Reverend Paul Bwembya Mushindo]]''. | |||
