“I thought maybe God didn’t hear me, so I decided to write him a letter.”In his search for a special compass, a young boy writes a letter to God and reveals, to himself and others, the miracle of God’s hand in every situation.This book is inspired by the true story of Tyler, whose life is told in the major motion picture Letters to God. Patrick and Heather Doughtie, authors and parents of the real-life Tyler, share the endearing story of their son’s inspiring and contagious faith.
Vir Tyler is God ’n vriend, leermeester en sy grootste penmaat. Hy hanteer sy siekte deur sy gebede in die vorm van briewe aan God te skryf en dit daagliks te pos. Wanneer Tyler al dodelik siek is, begin die posman Brady McDaniels die briewe lees en ontdek die krag van die seun se gesprekke met God. BRIEWE AAN GOD is geïnspireer deur die fliek LETTERS TO GOD wat gebaseer is op die ware verhaal van die agtjarige Tyler wat aan terminale breinkanker ly. Patrick Doughtie, Tyler se pa, het die roman saam met John Perry geskryf en dit in samewerking met David Nixon, mede-vervaardiger van FIREPROOF en FACING THE GIANTS, verfilm. BRIEWE AAN GOD is ’n verhaal van lag, liefde en triomf en benadruk die belangrikheid van ’n liefdevolle en ondersteunende gemeenskap en kerk-familie in tye van nood. Dit is ook ’n verhaal van hoop in alle omstandighede, die soort hoop wat gevind word in die eenvoudige, kinderlike vriendskap met God.

Shakespeare's Blank Verse: An Alternative History is a study both of Shakespeare's versification and of its place in the history of early modern blank verse (unrhymed iambic pentameter). It ranges from the continental precursors of English blank verse in the early sixteenth century through the drama and poetry of Shakespeare's contemporaries to the editing of blank verse in the eighteenth century and beyond. Alternative in its argumentation as well as its arguments, Shakespeare's Blank Verse tries out fresh ways of thinking about meter—by shunning doctrinaire methods of apprehending a writer's versification, and by reconnecting meter to the fundamental literary, dramatic, historical, and social questions that animate Shakespeare's drama.

Go Figure addresses theories of the figure and practices of figuration ranging from classical rhetoric and biblical exegesis to semiotics, psychoanalysis, and socio-politics. Situating theory in history, the essays in this volume focus on verbal and visual texts from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, and they explore science, sacramental poetics, romance and lyric narrative, and the natural world in still lifes, prayer, parasites, and politics. They engage the work of poets, painters, storytellers, and playwrights. While the theories that inform them are many and various, they share a point of reference in the work of Jean-Fran ois Lyotard, who theorizes the co-presence in language of the figure and discourse: Lyotard's figure relates to discourse as image emerges in description, as sense accompanies signification, and as energies shape texts from within. The original essays invited for the volume show how figural energies and forms inhabit both texts and the practices that produce them--how figures are fundamentally in play in the making of subjects, societies, traditions, and institutions.
