Germany has had a profound influence on English stories for children. The Brothers Grimm, The Swiss Family Robinson and Johanna Spyri's Heidi quickly became classics but, as David Blamires clearly articulates in this volume, many other works have been fundamental in the development of English chilren's stories during the 19th Centuary and beyond.

We spend a lot of time in determining our individual purposes (i.e., our callings) for being here on earth. Some of us were called (created) to be singers, dancers, preachers, teachers, helpers, exhorters, prophets and so on. This is fine. But, this book goes beyond our individual purpose (calling) and delves deeply into our racial group’s purpose (calling). That is, this book shows you the nuts and bolts of your racial group’s purpose here on earth. Each racial group on the face of the earth was created to fulfill a divine purpose. Thus, we need to know our racial group’s purpose so that we can serve God completely. Moreover, mixed children of color from interracial marriages are spec...

It brings together in conversation specialists from different fields of academy and church to provide a resource for integrating faithand scholarship in dark places.

Double Desire challenges the tendency by critics to perpetuate an aesthetic apartheid between Indigenous and Western art. The double desire explored in this book is that of the divided but also amplified attractions that occur between cultural traditions in places where both indigenous and colonial legacies are strong. The result, it is argued, produces imaginative transcultural practices that resist the assimilation or acculturation of Indigenous perspectives into the dominant Western mod...
