Scatterling of Africa
‘There are moments in life that are pure, and which seem to hang in the air, unhitched from the everyday world as we know it. Suspended for a few seconds, they float in their own space and time with their own hidden prospects. For want of a better term, we call these moments “magical” and when we remember them they are cloaked in a halo of special meaning.’ For 14-year-old Johnny Clegg, hearing Zulu street music as plucked on the strings of a guitar by Charlie Mzila one evening outside a corner café in Bellevue, Johannesburg, was one such ‘magical’ moment. The success story of Juluka and later Savuka, and the cross-cultural celebration of music, language, story, dance and song t...
Meditations for Adoptive Parents
Meditations for Adoptive Parents serves as a trusted confidant for those who have welcomed a child into their home through adoption. This heartfelt collection of meditations celebrates adoption as an act of grace mirroring God’s own redeeming love for us, of family adoption as a sacred experience—a model of the redemption offered by God through Jesus. Author and educator Vernell Klassen Miller offers 30 days of encouragement and wisdom for new families through devotionals, poetry, Scripture, prayers, and readings. Brimming with real-life examples from the author’s own journey as the parent of four adopted children, this insightful volume offers what every Christian adoptive family can use—a pause for spiritual nourishment amid the ongoing journey of raising children.
The Dennis Saga
The Dennis saga covers an uncommonly wide field and deals with various branches of the family as well as individuals, some of whom - particularly in the 12th and 13th centuries - were people of considerable standing in the feudal world ... Eric Dennis is to be warmly commended for being the first to try to pull together the various threads of a widely-spread family, whose roots were nourished in England's West Country, but whose offshoots were to be found in Australia, India, and China in the 19th century, and today in Canada, America, and still growing strong in Australia ...
Going Away
National Book Award Finalist: This autobiographical road-trip novel exploring life and politics in the 1950s became “an underground bestseller” (The Village Voice). The year is 1956, and a blacklisted Hollywood agent sets off on a cross-country adventure from Los Angeles to New York City. Along the way—stopping at bars, all-night restaurants, and gas stations—the twenty-nine-year-old narrator, at once egotistical and compassionate, barrels across the “blue highways” to meet, fight with, love, and hate old comrades and girlfriends, collecting their stories and reflecting on his own life experiences. Driven by probing stream-of-consciousness prose and brutally honest self-analysis, Going Away is a sprawling autobiographical journey into a kaleidoscope of American mindsets; most significantly, that of its radical narrator. Crammed with acute social and political observations, this urgent novel captures the spirit of its times, so remarkably like that of today. An odyssey in the spirit of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, Going Away is “a novel of major importance. There hasn’t been anything like it since TheGrapes of Wrath” (San Francisco Chronicle).
Where There Is a Vision
Throughout the Church's history, God has raised up willing men and women to do His work. Paul, Athanasius, Augustine, Luther, the Wesleys, Spurgeon, Moody, Amy Carmichael, Francis Schaeffer, Billy Graham--the list could go on and on. God called Clyde Dennis, too. From a young printer to the man responsible for producing and distributing 50,000,000 gospel tracts per year, Clyde experienced the loving hand of God leading him to revolutionize gospel literature. Here is the encouraging and inspiring story of the founding of Good News Publishers by Clyde and Muriel Dennis in 1938... its remarkable growth and blessing during the war years and early Fifties... a worldwide vision realized through the Swiss Press and Baraka Press... difficult times and the courageous leadership of Muriel Dennis following Clyde's death... and a renewed vision under sons Lane and Jan Dennis. Above all else, "Where There Is a Vision is the story of God's unending faithfulness--throughout one generation and into the next, and, by God's grace, well into the future.
