Loose Him and Let Him Go!
Believers across this nation and around the world are overwhelmed, oppressed, struggling, and defeated in their attempt to live the abundant life Christ came to give them. I am convinced, however, that if more churches would embrace the ministry of deliverance and employ a systematic approach in offering deliverance, the results would be phenomenal. Instead of an army of weak and ineff ective believers, a new generation of bold conquerors set free by God and empowered to set others free would arise. Dr. Moussa Touré has released a powerful weapon against the prince of darkness in his new book, "Loose Him and Let Him Go!" Intellectually prepared to analyze the problems and research the issue...
Watchmen Prayer Movement
After multiple supernatural visitations and prophetic dreams, the Lord birthed through Dr. Esther and Dr. Moussa Toure the Watchmen Prayer and Evangelism Movement, which is an expression of God's infinite love for souls. Through the movement, the Lord has brought together intercessors from more than one hundred nations. These watchmen, men and women, are eager to see multitudes of souls from all nations experience the joy of His salvation. One of the major developments of the movement in these last three years is the Watchmen 24/7 Prayer Mountain for the Nations," which was established and then confirmed by an open vision of the Father's heart. This book not only recounts the story of this movement but provides church leaders and everyday believers with the spiritual foundation and practical tools to develop and accelerate the ministry of intercession for billions of souls across the nations. It is a guide to help bring the church to its rightful position as a house of prayer for all people. The harvest is more plentiful now than ever before. May God grant you the grace to respond to His stirring to join this movement of united intercession.
Africa Shoots Back
Filmmakers in sub-Saharan francophone Africa have been using cinema since independence in the sixties to challenge existing Western stereotypes of the continent. The author shows how directors working in a postcolonial context that has inevitably influenced film agendas and styles have produced a range of alternative, challenging representations. This well illustrated book focuses on the ways in which memory and history have become central themes and how local cultural forms have been integrated into the film medium to depict African identities, realities and concerns. By highlighting the importance of the representation and cultural identity questions, filmmakers are seen to have forged new cinematic codes and given voice to hitherto silenced groups such as women or African immigrant populations in Europe.

Meaninglessness
For too long, the approach to seemingly universal experiences like love, death, and even time in film has been dominated by the Global North. But what if such explorations developed horizontally instead? Drawing from both European and African cultural theorists, including Gilles Deleuze and Wole Soyinka, Vlad Dima invites us to consider what happens to postcolonial African film if we no longer privilege the idea of time. How else might we understand the cinematic image, and how would its meanings change? Meaninglessness: Time, Rhythm, and the Undead in Postcolonial Cinema is a study of meaning and meaninglessness through the figure of the undead, beginning with francophone Africa and extending to postcolonial France. Through the analysis of films like Mati Diop’s Atlantics and Jean-Pierre Bekolo’s Miraculous Weapons, Dima shows how the African cinematic image may produce meaning without any attachment to European time, and how that meaning is connected instead to the philosophy of negritude and to the notion of rhythm. Meaninglessness introduces the concept of the rhythm-sequence as a new way to understand the African moving image.

Africa’s Joola Shipwreck
In 2002, a government-owned Senegalese ferry named the Joola capsized in a storm off the coast of The Gambia in a tragedy that killed 1,863 people and left 64 survivors, only one of them female. The Joola caused more human suffering than the Titanic yet no scholarly research to date has explored the political and environmental conditions in which this African crisis occurred. Africa’s Joola Shipwreck: Causes and Consequences of a Humanitarian Disaster investigates the roots of the Joola shipwreck and its consequences for Senegalese people, particularly those living in the rural south. Using three summers of field research in Senegal, Karen Samantha Barton unravels the geographical forces such as migration, colonial cartographies, and geographies of the sea that led to this humanitarian disaster and defined its aftermath. Barton shows how the Sufi tenet of “beautiful optimism” shaped community resilience in the wake of the shipwreck, despite the repercussions the event had on Senegalese society and space.
