The World of Extreme Happiness
When Sunny is born in rural China, her parents leave her in a slop bucket to die because she's a girl. She survives, and at 14 leaves for the city, where she works a low-paying factory job and attends self-help classes to improve her chances at securing a coveted office position. When Sunny's attempts to pull herself out of poverty lead to dire consequences for a fellow worker, she is forced to question the system she's spent her life trying to master – and stand up against the powers that be. Savage, tragic and desperately funny, The World of Extreme Happiness is a stirring examination of a country in the midst of rapid change, and individuals struggling to shape their own destinies.

Salt Lick, Vol. Ii
SALT LICK, Vol. II, The Innocents, by Dr. Robert A. (Sunny) Brock, the conclusion of Ali ORileys celebration of life is glutted with maturing parent-child, emotional relationships, and sibling bonding. The same variety of personalities are present which filled the pages of Volume One, however, they are in the responsible summer of life. The comedy, romance and pathos of life reach new plateaus as the families blunder through the early child-rearing years with purpose and hope. As a clan-unit they share their joys and surprises, exploring male-female differences in perspective, finding new levels of patience with each others shortcomings. Again, the Christian message of redemption is folded i...

Majority World Theologies
Theology to the Ends of the Earth and Back Again As Christianity’s center of gravity has shifted to the Majority World, many younger churches in Africa, Asia, and Latin America are now coming of age. With this maturing comes the ability to theologize for themselves, not simply to mimic what they have been taught from the West. As theology is an attempt to articulate through human language, culture, and contexts the timeless truths of the eternal and transcendent God, Majority World churches have much to offer the West and the world, as they contribute to a greater understanding of God, discipleship, and mission. Within this volume is an eclectic and fascinating sampling of theologizing from around the world, diverse not just in context but in content, dealing with everything from Christian education, to engaging Buddhists with the gospel, to engagement with Santería, to contextualizing native dance. As Christ’s message has gone to “the ends of the earth,” it has been received, but also incorporated, synthesized, and rebirthed in new and exciting ways that will benefit us all, wherever we live and serve.
Literature Journals in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China (1931-1938)
This book examines the development of Chinese literature journals and social ideologies from 1931 to 1938, combining first-hand historical materials, historical data and four important literature journals to study the competition and cooperation between various powers such as the Kuomintang, the CCP, the “Third Party”, and intellectuals.

The author concludes with the provocative thesis that there was a progression in...
I syndens tid
I syndens tid er en berusende fortelling om gangstere og elskere, falske venner, forbudt kjærlighet og korrupsjon. Det er stor litteratur og storslagen underholdning i en og samme bok. Dette er i syndens tid: Penger, nytelse og makt betyr alt, og familiebånd kan like gjerne være kvelende som beskyttende. Klokken tre en morgen i New Dehli treffer en Mercedes fortauskanten i altfor høy fart, og på et øyeblikk er fem uskyldige mennesker døde. Det er bilen til en riking, men når støvet legger seg er ingen riking å se, bare en sjokkskadd tjener som ikke kan forklare hvordan denne ulykken, denne forbrytelsen, kunne skje. Det er opptakten til historien om den mektige Wadia-familien. Deept...
En gud i spillror
Vinnare av Costa Novel Award 2015 Juryns motivering En ytterst magnifik bok i en klass för sig. En gud i spillror är, tillsammans med sin föregångare Liv efter liv, Atkinsons allra bästa verk. - The Guardian Bara efterordet förtjänar ett litterärt pris. - The Bookseller RAF-piloten Teddy Todd trodde inte att han skulle överleva andra världskriget. Nu är hans stora utmaning att möta en framtid han inte räknade med att få uppleva. I Liv efter liv fick vi följa Ursula Todds oändliga liv om och om igen. I En gud i spillror riktas blicken mot den älskade brodern. Teddy Todd som ville bli poet, tar värvning som RAF-pilot under andra världskriget. Han överlever, men krigets fasor existerar parallellt med hans liv som make, far och morfar. Han förstår inte sin omvärld och det absurda i att just han fick överleva. Med intelligens och eftertanke visar Atkinson hur kriget inte bara påverkar personerna som genomlever det, utan även kommande generationer.
