From Calvinist to Catholic, from Charismatic to AmaZioni, the Rainbow Nation has one of the most colourful, variegated, and bewildering array of Christian churches in the world. Where on earth did they all come from? How did they develop? What do they believe? How are they related to one another? In this clear and readable history of Christianity in South Africa, Kevin Roy answers these questions with comprehensive, succinct and rigorous historical analysis with sympathy and honesty. Dr Roy does not shy away from the failures and sins of the participants in this story that intertwines with the history of the peoples and tribes in South Africa.

The United States faces a growing crisis in care. The number of people needing care is growing while the ranks of traditional caregivers have shrunk. The status of care workers is a critical concern. Evelyn Nakano Glenn offers an innovative interpretation of care labor in the United States by tracing the roots of inequity along two interconnected strands: unpaid caring within the family; and slavery, indenture, and other forms of coerced labor. By bringing both into the same analytic framework, she provides a convincing explanation of the devaluation of care work and the exclusion of both unpaid and paid care workers from critical rights such as minimum wage, retirement benefits, and workers...
Architect Roy Mackie's life is turned upside down when his twin brother Raymond passes away. As he tries to come to terms with his loss, his well-ordered life begins to come unraveled. A rare bottle of wine is found empty and discarded, and Roy doesn't remember drinking it. Personal items are found rooms away from where he's sure--almost sure--he left them. When Roy's son begins to question his father's sanity, Roy turns to the only person who can help: Ann Kinnear. What Ann learns is not what she or Roy expected, and they join forces with a pair of charitable benefactors to defend Roy against the forces conspiring against him. Angels, and ministers of grace, defend us! Be thou a spirit of health, or goblin damn'd. Bring with thee airs from heaven, or blasts from hell. Be thy intents wicked or charitable. Thou com'st in such a questionable shape, That I will speak to thee. — William Shakespeare, "Hamlet" An Ann Kinnear Suspense Short from Matty Dalrymple, author of the Ann Kinnear Suspense Novels and the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers.
