Ten spyte van getroue kerkbywoning, Bybel lees en gebede is dit
opvallend dat ons geloof dikwels nie ’n verskil in ons lewe maak nie.
Hoe kan ’n mens dan in ’n nuwe kragtige geloofsrat inbeweeg? Deur
'n ware konneksie met die Here te maak. In hierdie 250
onopgesmukte dagstukkies deel Susan alledaagse stories uit haar lewe
wat jou sal help om die Here se nabyheid oral tasbaarder te ervaar. Die
boek is daarop gemik om geestelike groei aan te moedig deur nuwe
maniere van dink en doen te kweek.
A hybrid narrative, blending memoir with social commentary and political analysis.
Always in search of "home", the book tracks Ismail Lagardien's vast experiences of a deeply lived life, always against a backdrop of "unbelonging" - first as a reporter in the turbulent 80s, to studying economics at the LSE, then achieving a doctorate at the University of Wales, to working as a speechwriter at the World Bank in Washington.
A unique and brilliant read.

The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom,
fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.
In June 2021, the whole world was

of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible
journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music
history.
Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book
illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman
telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

Someone in this house was sad but pretending not to be. Someone – and this thought made a smile curl up on its face – needed some nouka-mischief. When Jem and his family move to the countryside, he doesn’t like his new home one bit. It’s an old cottage on the side of a hill, where strange things keep happening: shoes are filled up with conkers, the stairs become tangled in a woollen maze. Jem’s sister Verity is certain it is the work of a “nouka”, an ancient creature from local folklore that lives deep down inside the hill. Jem, however, is adamant that there is no such thing. But this small mythical creature, so attuned to the hearts and minds of others, does exist. And, what’s more, it is determined, through mischief and mayhem, to help Jem reignite the spark within himself once more.
