Sinopse

'KWANTU MEANS HOME'
For decades, African spirituality has been demonised or met with suspicion. Many people find themselves at a crossroads that has them questioning their religious upbringing while trying to understand their place within African spiritual practice. There are those who have to choose between being a believer, usually in the Christian faith, or believing in their ancestors. As the cultural trajectory of the world shifts, more people desire a deeper understanding of ancestral practices, their history and their relevance to modern life.
Journey Kwantu is inspired by Vusumzi Ngxande's popular podcast of the same name that delves into South African spiritual identity, showing how it has evolved over hundreds of years. The book is rooted in extensive historical research, lived experiences and interviews with healers, teachers and ordinary people trying to live their truth.
With a unique ability to simplify complex issues, the author endeavours to answer taboo questions like, 'Who are we?' and 'How did we come to believe what we believe?' In the process, he deals with challenges he has struggled with on his own spiritual journey, from death, the afterlife and the authority of ancestors versus the power of God, to more practical matters like performing rituals in urban areas and understanding lineage and its impact on one's spiritual life.
Deeply perceptive and engaging, Journey Kwantu offers guidance and sustenance to African believers.

    How to Steal a City is the gripping insider account of this intervention, which lays bare how Nelson Mandela Bay metro was bled dry by criminal syndicates, and how factional politics within the ruling party abetted that corruption.  
    As a former senior state official and local government ‘fixer’, Crispian Olver was no stranger to dodgy politicians and broken organisations. Yet what he found in Nelson Mandela Bay went far beyond rigged contracts, blatant conflicts of interest and garden-variety kickbacks. The city’s administration had evolved into a sophisticated web of front companies, criminal syndicates and compromised local politicians and officials. The metro was effectively controlled by a criminal network closely allied to a dominant local ANC faction. What Olver found was complete state capture – a microcosm of what has taken place in national government. 
    Olver and his team initiated a clean-up of the administration, clearing out corrupt officials and rebuilding public trust. Then came the ANC’s doomed campaign for the August 2016 local government elections. Having lost its way in factional battles and corruption, the divided party went down to a humiliating defeat in its traditional heartland.  
    Olver paid a high price for his work in Nelson Mandela Bay. Intense political pressure and even threats to his personal safety took a toll on his mental and physical health. When his political support was withdrawn, he had to flee the city as the forces stacked against him took their revenge. This is his story.

    Disclaimer: This is not the official book, but a summary & it does not accompany the official. 
    Dwelling on the principle that our lives are largely dictated by our thoughts, Groeschel introduces readers to the concept of “winning the war” in one’s mind by breaking free from negative and self-defeating thought patterns. He proposes an actionable guide grounded in biblical truths and psychological insights to help readers transform their minds and, consequently, their lives. 
    Through the book, readers are encouraged to challenge the false beliefs that have been holding them back, facilitating a path towards healing and spiritual growth. Drawing upon a rich array of scripture and real-life anecdotes, Groeschel illuminates the road to a renewed mind, which is pivotal in forging deeper connections with others and fostering a more fulfilling life. 
    As you draft a summary of this insightful read, bring forth the emphasis Groeschel places on the transformative power of changing one’s thinking. Illustrate how, through personal anecdotes and scriptural references, the book equips readers with the tools to identify, combat, and replace the toxic narratives that plague their minds with healthier, God-honoring thoughts.

    The Parenthood Dilemma -...

    Should we become parents? This timeless question forces us to reckon with who we are and what we love and fear most in ourselves, in our relationships, and in the world as it is now and as it will be. When Gina Rushton admitted she had little time left to make the decision for herself, the magnitude of the choice overwhelmed her. Her search for her own “yes” or “no” only uncovered more questions to be answered. How do we clearly consider creating a new life on a planet facing catastrophic climate change? How do we reassess the gender roles we have been assigned at birth and by society? How do we balance ascending careers with declining fertility? How do we know if we’ve found the right co-parent, or if we want to go it alone, or if we don’t want to do it at all? To seek clarity on these questions, Rushton spoke to doctors, sociologists, economists, and ethicists, as well as parents and childless people of all ages and from around the world. Here, she explores and presents policies, data, and case studies from people who have made this decision—one way or the other—and shows how the process can be revelatory in discovering who we are as individuals. Drawing on the depth of knowledge afforded by her body of work as an award-winning journalist on the abortion beat, Rushton wrote the book that she needed, and we all need, to stop a panicked internal monologue and start a genuine dialogue about what we want from our lives and why.
