From every pulpit in the land it needs to be thundered forth that God still lives, that God still observes, that God still reigns. Faith is now in the crucible; it is being tested by fire, and there is no fixed and sufficient resting-place for the heart and mind but in the throne of God. What is needed now, as never before, is a full, positive, constructive setting forth of the Godhood of God.'

Paperback. English. Jonathan Ball Publishers. 2003. Fair/Good. Previous owner's name inside. It is the dramatic story of how a handful of rookie politicians came 'out of the bush' ' to use Mandela's own phrase ' to take over the running of a complex and deeply troubled country that they thought was richly endowed but in fact was almost bankrupt; of how they struggled to come to terms with an often hostile bureaucracy; and how above all they found themselves struggling not only with the complexities of their own society but also with the bewildering and often destabilizing forces of the new globalized economy. It is the story of singular triumphs and some distressing failures. South Africa still faces many problems, but it is also one of the most vibrant and exciting places on earth ' and, as Sparks suggests, a microcosm of the world. For this is a country not only of white and black, but one where the impoverished meet the rich everyday, where Christians and Jews and Muslims and Hindus, sophisticated urbanites and tribal traditionalists, Zulus and Xhosas, English and Afrikaners, must all surmount their historical conflicts and find a common national identity. Mandela's dream was of a nonracial democracy, and this book is a realistic assessment of the status of that dream as the new South Africa nears the end of its first decade. But Sparks also suggests that it is much more than that. South Africa also represents a unique negotiated resolution to a historical conflict that had its roots in rival claims to sovereignty over the same piece of national territory. Whose country is it? Both white Afrikaners and black Africans laid claim to South African sovereignty ' one as a God-ordained right, the other by indigenous birthright. This is a conflict that repeats itself in many of the world's most intractable trouble spots ' between Israelis and Palestinians, Protestants and Catholics in Northern Island, Greeks and Turks in Cyprus. In that respect particularly, Sparks suggests that the great South African experiment is of abiding global importance.

Jael, the tent-peg-toting warrior princess. Herodias, the horrible beheader. Tamar, the widow and not-so-timid temptress. Athaliah, the deadly daughter of Jezebel. And three ancient women whose names we do not know but who have much to teach us: the ashamed Adulteress, the bewitching Medium of En Dor, and the desperate Bleeding Woman.

Subtitle: Inside the Conflict in Pietermaritzburg Author: Matthew Kentridge Publisher: David Philip, Publishers (1990) ISBN-10: 0864861605 ISBN-13: 9780864861603 Condition: Very Good. Light wear to cover, edges and corners. Binding: Softcover Pages: 249 Dimensions: 21.2 x 13.5 x 1.4 cm +++ by Matthew Kentridge +++ Since 1987, more than two thousand people have killed in political violence in the Natal Midlands: more deaths than in twenty years of sectarian war fare in Northern Ireland. In this book, Matthew Kentridge examines the ongoing conflict in the Pietermaritzburg region. He argues that a state of war exists a struggle for territorial sovereignty between the rival political forces of Inkatha and the UDF. It is a war by virtue of the nature of the conflict, the scale of death and destruction it has caused, and its pervasive effect on the lives of the entire population of the area. The Political implications of the war are not the author's prime focus, however, Kentridge concentrates on the groups and individuals involved in and affected by the war. He investigates the explanations offered by the antagonists in the conflict, scrutinises the role of police, and chronicles the disruption of individual lives. Few have been spared the ravages of war, the death or maiming of family and friends, the destruction of property, the trauma of everyday lives lived in fear.

If you take from the grace of God the strength offered, you will find yourself quite amazingly able to bear the harship of life's bitter battle as a good soldier. But the soldier has to be trained, prepared, and equipped first. Don't rush into the fray and try to 'take it' without first taking strength." Take strength from these reminders of the loving sovereignty of the God who has called us his own. Bracing and calming at the same time, The Music of His Promises--fresh thoughts from the pen of Elisabeth Elliot--will soothe your soul and give you strength.

Moms are under So. Much. Pressure. We moms are told that we have to get it all right so our kids turn out right. We're told that their entire futures are riding on our ability to perfectly orchestrate their lives. And we're told that the strength of their faith hinges on ours. And we begin to believe that if we just try hard enough, we can actually "be enough." These impossible standards leave us stuck in worry, anger, guilt, comparison, and shame. Jeannie Cunnion gets it. And in Mom Set Free she reveals how the Good News of the Gospel empowers us to live--and parent--in the freedom for which Christ has set us free. Jeannie invites us to journey alongside her as we learn to: * Lay down what God has not asked us to carry so we can thrive in what He has. * Embrace our significance in our children's lives in light of God's sovereignty. * Trust God with the children He has entrusted to us. * Receive God's grace so we can reflect God's heart to our kids. It's time to breathe deeper, walk lighter, and reclaim the wonder and adventure of parenting. Features Summary Synopsis coming soon.......

While the world watched in outrage, this violation of national sovereignty was in fact only the latest iteration of a centuries-long effort to expand Russian boundaries and create a pan-Russian nation. In Lost Kingdom, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy argues that we can only understand the merging of imperialism and nationalism in Russia today by delving into its history. Spanning over two thousand years, from the end of the Mongol rule to the present day, Plokhy shows how leaders from Ivan the Terrible to Joseph Stalin to Vladimir Putin have exploited existing forms of identity, warfare and territorial expansion to achieve imperial supremacy. A strikingly ambitious book, Lost Kingdom chronicles the long and belligerent history of Russia's empire and nation-building quest.
