By IN an era defined by digital clamour and a relentless pursuit of status, a powerful new call for perspective and purpose is set to arrive from strategist and advocate Ken Robinson.
His highly anticipated new book, “The Zacchaeus Manifesto”, scheduled for release in January 2026, promises to harness an ancient biblical tale to guide a modern generation towards a more meaningful existence.
Moving beyond a simple retelling, Robinson’s work uses the story of Zacchaeus, the tax collector who climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, as a potent metaphor for contemporary life.
The book positions itself as a mirror and a guide, challenging readers to redirect their quest for success, belonging, and meaning into a force for both personal and societal transformation.
“The Zacchaeus Manifesto” is framed as an invitation to a more deliberate way of living.
Through a blend of storytelling, insight, and reflective prose, Robinson urges readers to cultivate clarity about their identity, their motivations, and the changes required to live a life anchored in courage, collaboration, and conviction.
“Zacchaeus climbed the tree because he wanted to see,” Robinson explained. “That simple act of boldness reflects the deep human desire to rise above the noise to gain perspective, to connect, and to transform.
This book is for anyone who has ever aspired for more and is ready to take deliberate steps toward it. It’s not just a book, it’s an invitation to a new way of living.”
Robinson, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), is no stranger to using his voice to inspire critical thinking and collective action.
He continues this mission across various spheres of influence, now channelling his efforts into this seminal literary work.
The public will have its first chance to engage with “The Zacchaeus Manifesto” on 26 January 2026, when it is released in print and digital formats.
A grand public launch is planned for Port Harcourt, Rivers State, expected to draw thought leaders, changemakers, clerics, creatives, and aspiring youth for a day of reflection, motivation, and dialogue.
