  Acclaimed South African writer Darrel Bristow-Bovey has a deeply personal relationship with the story of Endurance and in this lyrical, loving journey into past and present, into humanity and the natural world, above and below the Antarctic ice, he revisits the famous story from a contemporary perspective, wondering why it seems to mean more today than ever before, and exploring our changing relationship with ourselves and the ice, and with our shared story of survival. 
   
  Drawing on literature, natural history, personal memoir and the thrilling epics of polar adventure, this is finally a celebration of the human spirit and the delivering powers of calculated optimism. If the story of Ernest Shackleton and Endurance tells us anything, it's that in the face of self-inflicted natural disaster, when there's no one to help us but ourselves, we can still pull off a miracle or two. From the bottom of the Weddell sea, Endurance still whispers that not all is lost, and not forever.

  Imperialism and Its Legacy - The...

  Imperialism, a term that evokes both grandeur and controversy, refers to the practice of extending a nation's power and dominion over foreign territories, often through conquest, colonization, or economic and political influence. At its core, imperialism involves the domination of one country over another, typically to exploit resources, expand markets, or spread cultural and political ideologies. While the history of imperialism stretches back to ancient civilizations, the modern form of imperialism emerged during the Age of Exploration, when European powers began to seek new trade routes and expand their influence across the globe. 
  The roots of imperialism are deeply entwined with the economic, political, and cultural motivations of the imperial powers. From an economic perspective, nations sought to secure access to valuable resources, such as gold, silver, spices, and agricultural products, which were crucial for their economic growth. The industrial revolution further fueled this desire for resources, as new technologies created an insatiable demand for raw materials and new markets to sell finished goods. Politically, imperialism was driven by the need for strategic dominance, with nations eager to expand their influence and prevent rivals from gaining power. Cultural and ideological motives, such as the belief in the superiority of one’s own civilization and the desire to “civilize” and Christianize indigenous peoples, were also significant driving forces behind imperial expansion. 
  The rise of modern imperialism coincided with the emergence of powerful European states, including Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, and later Germany and Italy, who sought to expand their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas.

  A Burning House - Redeeming...

  Despite the civil rights progress he fought for and saw on the horizon in the 1950s and '60s, Martin Luther King Jr.—increasingly concerned by America's moral vision, admitted—"I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 
  In A Burning House, Brandon Washington contends that American Evangelicalism is a house ablaze: burning in the destructive fires of discrimination and injustice. The stain of segregation remains prevalent, not only in our national institutions, but also in our churches, and this has long tarnished the witness of Christianity and hampered our progress toward a Christ-like vision of Shalom—peace, justice, and wholeness—in the world. Common doctrine may unite black and white evangelicals, but rifts such as social ethics and cultural influences still separate us. 
  Throughout this challenging but reconciliatory book, Washington gives a historical and theological appraisal of American evangelicalism to understand how we came to be where we are and what our response should be. Instead of calling the movement to become something new, he challenges it to live into what it has always been in Christ and strive for deliberate and sacrificial integration—the unity of believers of all ethnicities. 
  A Burning House is a rallying call to a waning movement whose most public leaders have often turned a blind eye to, or even justified, the sin of racism—a movement whose theology is sometimes compromised by a secular anthropology. This is a call to both white and black evangelicals to better understand our past so that we can better embrace the unifying and comprehensive message of the gospel we preach.
