When the European location for the World G8 Summit on AIDS is compromised, Cape Town is hurriedly chosen to host. But Scimitar, an impenetrable militant Islamic cell based on the tip of Africa, has other plans. Led by Sayeed Dhatri, a Cape Town-born Muslim, and advised by Tariq Dar, the key strategist and quartermaster of the global terror war against the West, the cell plots to raze the grand hotel where the world’s leaders are scheduled to gather for their final press conference. Alerted by the CIA, the National Intelligence Agency assigns its best officers, Tau Molepe and Gerry Viljoen – an African and an Afrikaner, and staunch friends and colleagues – to neutralize the threat. The two must delve into the dangerous underground world of international terror, navigating complex schemes and dedicated Muslim insurgents in an attempt to keep the leaders of the Free World safe. But no matter what they do, Tau and Gerry always find themselves one step behind their target and time is running out fast.
The Indonesian Revolution (1945-1950) was the occasion by which Indonesia achieved political independence. But the way in which this common twentieth century event came about, in the general violence and exaltation of a true revolution, made it far more important than that. Like the Mexican, Russian, Chinese and Vietnamese revolutions, the Indonesian Revolution has been the central event in its country's whole modern history. For this reason, any addition to the small stock of good English-language writings on the Revolution, like Report from Banaran, is doubly welcome, not only for what it can tell us about the event itself but also for what it can tell us about the Indonesian condition in ...
The wedding of the century between Noto and Yanti was supposed to make the tie between the two kingdoms that much closer, yet it also makes the people of Solo realize just how well-off the people of Jogya truly are. They have their beloved sultan actually working for them, managing the province ably, while the sunan of Solo is basically powerless outside the palace wall. The people demanded that the two kingdoms be merged. The solution made Noto the crown prince of both kingdoms, a position that will eventually make him the king of the new kingdom, the Kingdom of New Mataram. Noto's struggle with Nyai Roro Kidul escalated as he proceeded to destroy all the ill-gotten accursed weapons in the armories of Jogya and Solo. Noto's attempt to rid of superstitions from among the Javanese while not falling into the clasp of Muslim fundamentalism forced him to thread a fine line guided by several of his elders.

Este livro usa o veículo da história para ilustrar a aplicação dos princípios do CPM em um contexto, apresentando várias maneiras pelas quais as pessoas vêm a Cristo, ilustrando questões de discipulado que os novos cristãos enfrentam, demonstrando um padrão de como os grupos se formam e passam a funcionar como igrejas domésticas e descrevendo um modelo de como os líderes locais são desenvolvidos. Enquanto a história se desdobra em um contexto muçulmano e os sete capítulos gerais dão um foco especial ao islã, a maioria dos princípios deste livro se aplica a qualquer contexto. Esta história é sobre pessoas: líderes que lutam contra o desânimo, a mesquinhez e a guerra espiritual; muçulmanos que chegam à fé em Jesus através de sonhos, curas, um testemunho pessoal vibrante e versos do Alcorão; recém-convertidos que lutam para abandonar velhos padrões e viver como novas criações
The time is the tenth century. The place is glorious Crdoba, capital of Moorish Al Andaluz where plots involve a coalition to arrest the despotism of El Mansur who is systematically despoiling their tolerant and cultured society to gain power and wealth. The coalition - self-named the Seers - includes a Caliphs wife, a Muslim merchant, the palace Chief Cook, a Jewish physician-diplomat, the Mother Superior of a Christian convent, a Moorish General, a Court poet and young woman slave. Seers machinations include assassinations, sabotage, spying and - naturally - love. It could have happened, since some characters were historical.
