Teach a Man to Fish - Engaging...

Florence Muindi, Charlie Vittitow

You’ve probably heard the old saying, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” The same basic principle applies to missions work. Too many churches and other missions organizations over-emphasize Relief Aid―no-strings-attached, handouts of vital supplies given in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. While necessary and lifesaving, Relief Aid is only a temporary fix. Once the funds dry up and the ground team leaves, the impoverished community is often no better off than they were before. In Teach a Man to Fish, the authors illustrate the benefits of “wholistic transformational development,” where―through engagement with the local church― the community is empowered to identify and carry out long-term sustainable solutions to meet its own needs. A few of the steps that “wholistic transformational development” includes are:  Give dignity to “the least of these”  Address the root causes of poverty to provide solutions for the affected  Help the vulnerable to become empowered in their own communities  Filled with real-life stories from the authors’ own experiences, Teach a Man to Fish provides churches and missions organizations with a blueprint for helping people help themselves in order to create lasting change and long-term sustainability and independence.

Book Description
‘Anant’ is a poignant modern-day tale inspired by Hermann Hesse’s Siddhartha, that chronicles the life of an atypical man, the unusual eponymous protagonist of the novella.
While people avoid facing the void and life’s big questions, Anant wants to delve deep into them and explore the unknown. Though his questions are much like everyone else’s, he seems to have this uncontrollable urge to find all the answers.
In his quest for ultimate meaning, Anant explores every path imaginable, only to find himself more lost and emptier than before. Disillusioned, he tries to conform, to live like everyone else. But destiny has other plans. Encounters with extraordinary individuals reignite his desire to transcend the illusions of the material world, escape the world of Maya and touch the infinite.
Will he succeed and achieve the impossible? Or will he give up and turn into yet another bitter, cynical and disillusioned man, like the many others who set out on the same path?
‘Anant’ is a fresh take on the classic masterpiece, a bold, fresh, pertinent lens on timeless struggles—one that speaks to the restless souls of our time.

Kingdom nuggets

solomon Hailu

Kingdom nuggets presents a quick look into the kingdom of God according to the teachings of Jesus and his disciples. Jesus spent more time in proclaiming the kingdom of God more than any other subjects during his ministry on earth. His top priority was to restore the kingdom of God back to the life of humanity. Hence, Jesus invited people of all walks of life to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God to ordinary people including, fishermen, outcast, criminals, tax collectors as well as to prominent people such as the pharisees, lawyers, politicians and wealthy businessmen. Furthermore, Jesus conveyed his message of the kingdom of God to diverse ethnic, gender, cultural, national and age groups. As the book reveals, Jesus emphasized the universality of the kingdom of God through his sermons and parables in every village and town he went. Equally and importantly, the disciples of Jesus took the urgent message of the kingdom of God to the nations of the world where Jesus did not reach with the message of his kingdom. The book takes us on a brief Biblical journey, beginning from the origin of the kingdom of God on earth, its temporary suspension on earth, its restoration and its final consummation on earth.

The Gospel of John and the Other...

Rudolf Steiner

'What is the Christ-event? It is a confluence of all preceding philosophies and religious streams of humanity… united in Palestine; and they were expressed in the Gospels according to the different types of initiation of the one or other Evangelist.' – Rudolf Steiner Speaking two years after his main lecture course on the Gospel of John, Rudolf Steiner discusses initiation traditions in the course of human history, and how the Christ Event unified them all – in particular, those connected to the Western and Eastern mysteries. In addition to esoteric interpretations of passages in the Gospels, Steiner also presents many new and complementary insights on the world-historic significance of Christ's mission, including his initial reference to the Second Coming in the etheric realm.  Dense in content, these thirteen lectures – delivered to an audience at the Royal Swedish Academy of Science, Stockholm – enrich our understanding of Rudolf Steiner's Christology. Only recently published in German, and here in English for the first time, the lectures are accompanied with an introduction by Hans-Christian Zehnter, an appendix of photos and facsimiles, extensive notes and an index. 'The voice rose and the speaking took on a more rapid tempo, while it flowed without stopping in perfectly formed, beautiful sentences, as only a born speaker can produce.' (From a contemporary newspaper review.) Thirteen lectures, Stockholm, Jan. 1910, GA 117a
