Synopsis

Christianity Roots explores the fascinating history of Christianity in Africa, revealing how a Middle Eastern religion became deeply interwoven with the continent's diverse cultures. This book challenges common misconceptions by examining the early Ethiopian and Nubian Churches, which represent some of the oldest Christian communities globally, highlighting their unique liturgical practices and theological perspectives. In fact, these early churches thrived centuries before widespread European missionary efforts and demonstrate the early presence and adaptation of Christianity in Africa.

 
The book delves into the impact of both pre-colonial and colonial missions, moving beyond a simple narrative of imposition to investigate how Christianity interacted with existing African belief systems. It argues that African Christianity is not a monolithic entity but a dynamic interplay of adaptation, resistance, and innovation.

 
The book is structured chronologically and thematically, initially introducing the pre-Christian religious landscape and then exploring the Ethiopian and Nubian experiences, before analyzing missionary efforts and their diverse impacts. Ultimately, Christianity Roots provides a framework for understanding the enduring influence of Christianity in Africa, emphasizing its continuous adaptation and its role in shaping the continent's social, political, and cultural landscape. This balanced perspective foregrounds the voices and experiences of African Christians themselves, showcasing their agency in shaping the religious landscape. The evidence is drawn from various sources, including theological treatises and missionary archives.

    The Sugar Jar - Create...

    “With calm and compassionate power, Yasmine is helping us to find our way back home—back to our own selves.” —Layla Saad, New York Times bestselling author of Me & White Supremacy 
    “Yasmine’s work is monumental, and I am in much better holistic alignment because of her dedicated and helpful offerings to the world.”—Alex Elle, author of After the Rain 
    A radical approach to setting boundaries and protecting your energy, rich with tools for self-healing. 
    Imagine a glass jar filled with sugar on a kitchen counter. You are the jar, and the sugar is your energy. If the jar has no lid, people can come in and take as much sugar as they want. Sometimes, they spill that sugar all over. You may try to refill your jar—replenish your energy—through self-care, but because there is no a lid—no protective boundary—you cannot control how much of your vital life force is being drained. 
    The Sugar Jar metaphor is a powerful teaching tool that wellness advocate and coach Yasmine Cheyenne has successfully used with her clients. Now, in her debut book, she makes it available to everyone. Combining stories, exercises, and prompts, The Sugar Jar lets you see just how much energy you have and how much is being used by others. It helps you identify what depletes you, what restores you, and how to recognize destructive patterns. It empowers you to free yourself from performing for and serving others, teaching you to set boundaries to help you heal and recharge. The Sugar Jar frees you from the excess stress and exhaustion that wears you down. It allows you to unleash your authentic self, choose joy, and find lasting balance. 
    A compassionate teacher, Cheyenne offers a unique and much needed perspective. A former member of the Air Force working with victims of domestic violence, she has specifically designed her approach and questions about boundaries, self-care, and self-healing for readers of all backgrounds, and especially readers of color, whose stressors and life challenges have too often been excluded and overlooked. Cheyenne herself has felt unwelcome as a Black woman in predominantly white wellness groups and retreats. Her inclusive message speaks to the needs of BIPOC readers, and accepts them where they are. 
    Warm and honest, The Sugar Jar shows you how to make small adjustments that can lead to big changes in your life.

    Moving House and other Poems...

    The old is contrasted with the new, fictional with actual life. Links are made between different cultures, different lives, different experiences. The expatriate life-style of constant movement runs parallel with the title of the book. 
     "Gillian Bickley writes as she responds to everyday events, always with the echo of 'time's winged chariot' in her ears. The fact of moving house sends her speeding back through the moves of a lifetime and forward to the last move, to the small room of the grave. The opening poem suggests the elusive presence of the author, and the deeper themes glimpsed through her deceptively simple poems. The variety of human life and the individual response to life, these are Gillian Bickley's central interests. The power that invigorates the poems in Moving House is the control of language. In this bare, tight poetry, no idle words are allowed. Its vocabulary draws on the base language of essences and epiphanies. The chosen spare language is the perfect partner for this poetry of mature experience." — Emeritus Professor I. F. Clarke and M. Clarke. 
    "The poetic observations of a sensitive writer responding to the reality of being alive." "Insightful probing into the darker issues of our lives . . . to make sense of human experience." — Paul Bench, Speech & Drama: Journal of the Society of Teachers of Speech and Drama. 
    "A privileged view into the emotional, intellectual and spiritual life of its writer." "The profound intimacy of the personal poems, reflecting universal truths about the human condition, renders the reader at once intruder and confidant." — Solveig Bang, Sunday Morning Post. 
    "Bickley's delicately-crafted poems are faithful word portraits of various aspects of Hong Kong at the turn of the millennium: its landscape, its people, its myths and spirits." —Tammy Ho, Asian Review of Books.

    It's one of modern history's most beloved sci-fi creations and while the Doctor is revered world-round, what about their companions, friends and acquaintances along the way? For all the time travel and extravagant alien worlds, Doctor Who is often at its best when it looks to you, the average viewer, and how the lives and values of us human beings are actually spectacular.
    The cup of tea or coffee we make in the morning, the relationships we carry and lose in life, the routines we love and hate, the vinegar-soaked chippies we have at night – they might look mundane against the spectacle of the Doctor but what if it's us, the humans, who are the fantastical ones?
    In We're Falling Through Space, J. David Reed investigates how Doctor Who uses its larger-than-life lens to consider how the mundane is a lot more special than we might realise. As one of the Doctors put it, 'Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space, I've never met anyone who wasn't important before.'

    Child Soldiers - The Tragic...

    The use of child soldiers in armed conflicts represents one of the most tragic and pervasive human rights violations of our time. Children, often as young as eight or nine, are forcibly recruited or manipulated into participating in violent wars, often by rebel groups or government forces. These young individuals, deprived of their innocence and forced to endure unimaginable hardships, are exploited in ways that not only strip them of their childhoods but also leave lasting scars on their bodies, minds, and spirits. 
      
    Across the world, from Africa to Asia and Latin America, countless children are caught in the crossfire of conflicts they did not cause and cannot escape. In some cases, they are coerced into combat, while in others, they are used as spies, messengers, or even sex slaves. The armed groups that recruit them often promise protection, a sense of belonging, or even power, but in reality, these promises are hollow. The children are left to survive in brutal conditions, with little support or hope for a future beyond the war. 
      
    The impact of this exploitation is not confined to the battlefield. The psychological trauma experienced by child soldiers is profound, with many carrying the weight of their experiences throughout their lives. Victims often struggle with severe emotional issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. In addition to these mental health challenges, the physical toll of war—ranging from injuries sustained in combat to malnutrition and disease—further complicates their ability to recover.
