Because if the tomb is empty – then anything is possible. In his first book, Joby Martin, Lead Pastor of The Church of Eleven22, dives deep into scripture and traces the story of salvation by highlighting the seven mountains throughout scripture where God manifests himself. As he describes each encounter with God, Martin shows us how the interaction on each mountain laid the groundwork for the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, and shows what God revealed about Himself in the process. He illuminates seven familiar passages, unveiling how God’s plan for Christ’s sacrifice is threaded throughout scripture, and shows why Christ’s resurrection—impossible, unbelievable—means that nothing is too hard for our God. Ultimately, he asks readers, Do you live every day of your life as if the tomb is empty…or as though Jesus is still hanging on that cross? Written with New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, If the Tomb is Empty is an insightful and spiritually rich examination of what the miracle of Christ’s resurrection means for all of us.

Heinz en Aletté Winckler, een van Suid-Afrikas se mees glansryke paartjies, is passievol daaroor om te sien dat huwelike nie net oorleef nie, maar floreer. Hierdie boek probeer paartjies bemagtig en bemoedig om hul ware identiteit in God te ontdek, om sodoende die beste moontlike huweliksmaat te kan word en wees. Heinz en Aletté praat reguit, sonder om doekies om te draai oor die volgende onderwerpe: fondasies, bagasie, kommunikasie, seks en intimiteit, ouerskap, skoonouers en finansies. Hulle deel ook grepe uit hulle eie verhaal om te verduidelik dat daar vir almal hoop is.
Die eiesoortige vriendskap tussen Winston Churchill en Jan Smuts is ’n studie in kontraste. In hul jeug het hulle uiteenlopende węrelde bewoon: Churchill was die weerbarstige en energieke jong aristokraat; Smuts die asketiese, filosofiese Kaapse plaasseun, wat later aan Cambridge sou gaan studeer. Daar sou hy die eerste student word wat albei dele van die finale regskursus in dieselfde jaar neem en al twee met onderskeiding slaag. Nadat hulle in die Anglo-Boereoorlog eers as vyande, en later in die Eerste Węreldoorlog as bondgenote byeengebring is, het die mans ’n vriendskap gesmee wat oor die eerste helfte van die twintigste eeu gestrek het en tot Smuts se dood in 1950 voortgeduur het. Richard Steyn, die skrywer van Jan Smuts: Afrikaner sonder grense, bestudeer dié hegte vriendskap deur twee węreldoorloë aan die hand van ’n magdom argiefstukke, briewe, telegramme en die omvangryke boeke wat oor albei mans geskryf is. Dit is ’n fassinerende verhaal oor twee besonderse individue in oorlog en vrede – die een die leier van ’n groot ryk, die ander die leier van ’n klein, weerspannige lid van daardie ryk.

You’ll never think of flying in South Africa in the same way again. This is an insider’s tale of the South African airline industry over the past thirty years, as told by Glenn Orsmond, and particularly the story of the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022. Orsmond, who was twice the CEO of Comair and the founder CEO of 1time, takes the reader on a wild ride through the ultracompetitive sector of low-cost airlines that boomed in this country after South African Airways’ stranglehold on the skies was loosened in the 1990s. Comair – which operated both Kulula and British Airways – and 1time were at the forefront of this new wave of airlines that saw domestic flying and tourism take off. But after some incredible highs and lows, Comair crashed under Orsmond’s watch despite the company’s 75-year unblemished profit history. The pandemic’s impact, the grounding of aeroplanes after a questionable regulator investigation and poor management decisions all contributed to its downfall. You can expect tales of industry legends and innovation but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms.
Housing matters, no matter when or where. This volume of collected essays on housing in colonial and postcolonial Africa seeks to elaborate how and why housing is much more than an everyday practice. The politics of housing unfold in disparate dimensions of time, space and agency. Depending on context, they acquire diverse, often ambivalent, meanings. Housing can be a promise, an unfulfilled dream, a tool of self- and class-assertion, a negotiation process, or a means to achieve other ends. This volume analyzes housing in its multifacetedness, be it a lens to offer insights into complex processes that shape societies; be it a tool of empire to exercise control over private relations of inhabitants; or be it a means to create good, obedient and productive citizens. Contributions to this volume range from the field of history, to architecture and urban planning, African studies, linguistics, and literature. The individual case studies home in on specific aspects and dimensions of housing and seek to bring them into dialogue with each other. By doing so, the volume aims to add to the debate on studying urban practices and their significance for current social change.
Black Americans' resilience during centuries of racially-motivated violence is beyond remarkable. But continuing to endure this harm allows for generations of trauma to fester and grow. Healing has to be the priority going forward. For decades, Tracey Michae'l Lewis-Giggetts clung to her upbringing in the church, believing that racial reconciliation would come through faith and discipline, being respectable, and doing what's right. But when her cousin became the victim of a white supremacist's hateful rampage, her body and soul said, "no more." The trauma of America's racial history, wreaking havoc on not only Black and Brown folk but white people too, in its own way, will not be alleviated without the will to face it head-on. We must name the dehumanization that plagues us, practice truth-telling and self-care, and make space for our vulnerability-to do the hard work of healing ourselves and our communities. This book is written with that healing in mind. It unpacks how American systems and institutions enable the kind of violence we've seen connected to white supremacy and nationalism. It examines the way media has created a desensitization to violence against Black bodies. It outlines what it looks like for a person who claims to follow Jesus to be anti-racist. But more than anything, it offers a blueprint for healing and reconciliation that includes the necessity of white people untangling from an ancestral mandate of colonization and false notions of supremacy, and Black and Brown people reckoning with the impact of trauma and feeling free to grieve in whatever way grief shows up.

Angs neem baie vorme aan, dis dalk die vrees wat oor jou skouer loer, die paniek wat alewig aan jou sy blyk te wees of die wolk van bekommernis wat oor jou lewe hang. Vir baie mense is dit ’n reus wat hulle wysmaak dat hulle nooit, ooit weer ’n normale lewe gaan kan lei nie; ’n reus wat jou vasvang in ’n greep van duisternis en wanhoop. Jy kán egter losbreek en sonder angs lewe. Uit sy eerstehandse ervaring van die stryd teen angs, deel Pastoor Louie Giglio beide praktiese en geestelike wenke om vry te kom. Aan die hand van ’n boodskap van bemoediging en hoop verduidelik hy die paradoks dat angs dalk dood is, maar steeds dodelik is – met ander woorde, angs is steeds oorweldigend, maar daar is egter Iemand wat reeds die oorhand oor angs gekry het. Hierdie nuttige hulpbron wys jou hoe om ‘n kruisie te trek deur jou angs met die sterkste wapen tot ons beskikking: Jesus se kruis. Elke dag se oordenking sal jou help om een voet voor die ander te sit en grond te wen in die stryd sowel as om bose vestings af te breek omdat Jesus reeds namens jou die oorwinning behaal het.

In ’n węreld wat nooit ophou verander nie, moet suksesvolle leiers ook deurgaans die koers aanpas en veranderinge aanbring. Dit wat gister gesorg het vir sukses, werk nie meer vandag nie. Maar hoe lyk suksesvolle leierskap vandag? In Leierskap 101 bespreek Stephan Joubert en Johan Smith 101 aspekte van hoe leierskap vandag lyk. Hierdie unieke blik op leierskap bevestig dat leiers God se gestuurde dienaars is. Deur te kyk na sake soos integriteit, visie, leierskap in die kerk en gehoorsaamheid wys hulle dat leierskap nie ’n lyding hoef te wees nie, maar ’n heerlike en vervullende voorreg. Ontdek ’n heel nuwe waarheid oor leierskap en word die leier wat God bedoel het jy moet wees.
Over the years, many have signed up for the South African Special Forces selection course but only a select few have ever passed. The gruelling course pushes recruits to their physical and mental limits. Those who make it through selection still have to complete a demanding year-long training cycle before they can join the ranks of this elite unit. In A Breed Apart, former Special Forces operator Johan Raath offers a rare insider’s view on the training he and other young soldiers received in the mid-1980s. Drawing on the reminiscences of his fellow Recces, he describes the phases of selection and training, and offers valuable insights into what makes a successful operator. The courses in the training cycle show the range and standard of Special Forces training, including weapons handling, bushcraft/survival, parachuting, demolitions and urban warfare, as well as seaborne and riverine operations. For Raath and his training cycle buddies, the cycle culminated in an operation in southern Angola where the young Recces saw action for the first time. Much of what Raath underwent still forms part of present-day Special Forces training. Comprehensive and revealing, this book shows why these soldiers truly are a breed apart.

Het jy al ooit gevoel jy het al alles op aarde probeer om ’n probleem op te los, maar dat niks werk nie? Het jy al ooit gewonder waar die moeilikhede wat jou in die gesig staar, vandaan kom? In Jou stryd behoort aan die Here verduidelik Joyce Meyer dat wanneer jy die duiwel – wat werklik is en aktief is in vandag se węreld – as jou ware vyand en die bron van jou probleme raaksien, jy dit kan oorkom en ’n lewe van vrede, vryheid, geloof en oorwinning leef. Wanneer jy die lewe se aanslae in die gesig staar, is daar sekere dinge wat jy vir jouself moet doen, soos om ywerig God se Woord te bestudeer en toe te pas, Hom te vertrou, te bid, ander te help, en ’n gesindheid van vertroue en ’n dankbare hart te handhaaf. Maar daar is ander dinge wat net God kan doen. Wanneer jy jou deel doen, doen God sy deel – en Hy is altyd gereed en gretig om jou te verdedig en te help. Joyce fokus nie net op die aard en strategieë van die vyand in hierdie vars benadering tot geestelike oorlogvoering nie, maar ook op die ware karakter en liefde van God, wat jou altyd na oorwinning sal lei. Ongeag hoe moeilik jou uitdagings ook al is, het jy alles wat jy nodig het om elke stryd te wen – want God is aan jou kant!
Die węreld het meer sonneblommense nodig mense wat hulle koppe na die Son toe draai, mense wat meer en meer soos die Son wil wees eerder as giftige ivies, stink Afrikaners, stekelrige kaktusse, knieserige rosies of klaende hangkop wilgers. Transformasie begin as ons ons deel begin doen en verantwoordelikheid aanvaar om ons negatiewe gedagtes elke dag bewustelik by die alomteenwoordige Son te vernuwe. Ons moet onsself daagliks toewy in die bestudering van die Meester Sonneblom se lieflike kwaliteite en meer van die vrug van sy liefdevolle genadige gees te kweek deur ons gedagtes by hom te vernuwe. Om ou negatiewe gewoontes en denke af te breek vra baie herhaling en volharding. Kom ons maak dit ons doel om elke dag 'n rapsie meer na Jesus se voorbeeld van christenskap en menswees te lyk. Met hierdie 260 sonneblom dagstukkies nooi Susan jou uit na 'n avontuur van sonsoek al agter die Son aan. Geniet die sonneblomreis.
