In the 1970s Hennie Keyter was an angry young man, fresh out of
military service for the apartheid government of South Africa,
unsure of his path in life and deeply uneasy about his faith. When
God revealed to him that He had a purpose for him and a calling on
his life, at first Hennie was not ready to hear it. When he finally
accepted and understood his mission, a flame was lit in his heart
that nothing could have extinguished. But nothing could have
prepared him either for the extraordinary spiritual journey he was
about to embark on which would take him wherever God wanted him to
go: from Malawi, ‘the warm heart of Africa’, to Mozambique at the
height of its civil war, where he was sentenced to death and faced
a firing squad, from a less than welcoming beginning in Zanzibar,
to the United Nations base at Lokichokio on the border between
Kenya and Sudan (where on one trip he discovered that he had a
price of US 10 000 on his head). Desiring only to do the will of
God and to spread the Gospel, Hennie took up the challenge of
taking the Gospel to many of the countries on the African continent
and in the Middle East, building up leaders and planting churches
in poverty stricken areas, lands devastated by years of conflict
and deprivation, and war zones where soldiers seemed to have lost
everything, even hope. Through the bushfire of mass evangelism and
his dedicated teams of volunteers, supported by the love and faith
of his wife Rita and his children Anton and Mari, in His Call, My
All: An African Drumbeat – A Missionary’s Heartbeat Hennie Keyter
looks back at his life in the service of the Lord and forward to
continuing His work for as long as God requires it of him.
A coming-of-age travel memoir that probes thorny spiritual
questions while taking the reader on a wild ride from the deep
American South to the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. Once
the golden girl of her Arkansas town, Natalie finds herself
squeezed under small town shame and rejection after being kicked
out of church for getting a divorce. It's a hard fall off of a
sanctimonious high horse, and religious fundamentalism has left her
feeling broken and stuck. But she can't shake the 'wanderlust woes'
that have plagued her since childhood, so she runs away to the
Middle East. As a mostly-sheltered Southerner, she struggles to
adapt but is determined to be 'at home' in the world. Her journey
is more than a pilgrimage, it's a peregrination: a one-way ticket
to elsewhere in search of the place of her own resurrection. Within
these pages is a suspenseful adventure filled with love, loss,
laughter, tears, and a little bit of scandalous behavior, but at
the heart of it, Natalie walks squarely into the unknown to
confront the secret matters of the soul that we wrestle with at
night.

Across the 30,000 or so varieties of Christianity, believers
universally love Jesus. They have no trouble accepting his humanity
and his divinity. Many express intimations of his close presence in
their lives; a fear of his judgment and wrath as well as a love of
his compassion; a justification for their worldviews and politics
(of all persuasions), and firm convictions about his atonement for
their sins and thus his centrality in their personal salvation.
But
who is Christ?
Is Christ simply Jesus's last name, denoting his
role as saviour of humanity, as messiah? What is Christ? How is his
function or role different from Jesus's? Are we missing something
fundamental because of our overwhelming emphasis on Jesus to the
exclusion of the Christ, or our misunderstanding of what it means
that Jesus was `the Christ'? Could it be that such limited views
are contributing to the slow and painful erosion of Christianity in
western culture, to its insularity and insistence on purity and
exclusion?
These are questions Fr Richard Rohr has been pondering
for many years. In his ecumenical and scripturally grounded books
on contemplation, mysticism and many more topics, he has emphasized
the importance of a large framework for understanding the nature of
'what is' and what lasts, of unity and the ultimate reality of
God's presence in all of creation-Christian and non-Christian,
human and non-human.
Could it be that Jesus, who is the Christ, is
offering us a model and example on how to live inside `this Big
Frame?'
