His book,  Evidence-Based Spirituality: A New Frontier of Science presents a bold and integrative approach to understanding spirituality through the lens of empirical research and scientific reasoning. Dr. Otumdi Omekara challenges the long-held belief that spirituality and science are incompatible by offering a comprehensive framework that places spiritual experience within the domain of legitimate scientific inquiry. This book explores how spiritual phenomena, such as prayer, meditation, near- death experiences, and consciousness, can be studied using scientific standard methodologies from neuroscience, psychology, physics, and systems theory. By drawing from peer-reviewed studies, case reports, and global spiritual traditions, the author demonstrates that spirituality is not merely a private or subjective reality domain but a measurable, impactful aspect of human life with profound physiological and psychological effects.

Chapters cover a wide range of topics, including the neurobiology of religious experience, quantum theories of consciousness, and the health benefits of  faith- based practices. Rather than reducing spiritual experiences to  brain chemistry or superstition, his book shows how ancient spiritual wisdom aligns with cutting- edge discoveries in energy fields, intentionality, and interconnectedness. Dr. Omekara advocates for a new kind of science, one that honors inner experience, embraces complexity, and recognizes the mind’s role in shaping reality, His book, Evidence-Based Spirituality, ultimately offers a visionary, yet well grounded perspective that spirituality, when rigorously studied, reveals itself as a crucial frontier for scientific progress, human health, and the evolution of consciousness. It is a transformative call to unite reason and reverence, data and mystery, in the pursuit of deeper truths about life and existence.
