Die boek Spreuke is 'n skatkis van geestelike en praktiese wysheid wat
ons toerus om ons beste lewe te lei. Kennis is belangrik, maar as dit
nie in aksie omgeskakel word nie, slaag dit nie daarin om ons lewe te
verander nie.
Dit is belangrik om 'n deurdagte en praktiese begrip van die sewe
fundamentele beginsels in die boek Spreuke te verkry:
• Wysheid
• Begrip
• Versigtigheid
• Kennis
• Onderskeidingsvermoë
• Onderskeiding
• Vrees van die Here
As ons hierdie eienskappe wil besit, moet ons 'n verbintenis maak tot
'n dieper begrip en implementering van hierdie waardes in ons daaglikse
lewe.
Met inspirerende vrae om deurdagte refleksie te bevorder, sal Op soek
na wysheid jou die fundamentele beginsels leer en God se hulp verseker
om dit te beoefen.
Die boek werk volledig deur al die hoofstukke van Spreuke.
An interrogation of why we don't talk to strangers, what happens when we do, and why it affects everything from the rise and fall of nations to personal health and wellbeing, in the tradition of Susan Cain's Quiet and Rutger Bregman's Humankind.
When was the last time you spoke to a stranger? In our cities, we stand in silent buses and tube carriages, barely acknowledging one another. Online, we retreat into silos and carefully curate who we interact with. But while we often fear strangers, or blame them for the ills of society, history and science show us that they are actually our solution. Throughout human history, our attitude to the stranger has determined the fate and wellbeing of both nations and individuals. A raft of new science confirms that the more we open ourselves up to encounters with those we don't know, the healthier we are.
In The Power of Strangers, with the help of sociologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, theologians, philosophers, political scientists and historians, Joe Keohane learns how we're wired to sometimes fear, distrust and even hate strangers, and discovers what happens to us when we indulge those biases. At the same time, he digs into a growing body of cutting-edge research on the surprising social and psychological benefits that come from talking to strangers; how even passing interactions can enhance empathy, happiness, and cognitive development, ease loneliness and isolation, and root us in the world, deepening our sense of belonging.
Warm, erudite and profound, this deeply researched book will make you reconsider how you perceive and approach strangers: paradoxically, strangers can help us become more fully ourselves.

South Africa’s mining journey began with the discovery of ‘mountains of
copper’ in the drylands of Namaqualand, laying the foundation of an
industry that would forever shape a nation’s destiny. Nowhere else in
the world has a mineral revolution proved so influential in weaving the
political, economic and social fabric of a society.
Digging Deep explores South Africa’s great mineral revolution – the
lucky strikes and the struggles of prospecting in the late 1800s, the
rushes to boom-and-bust towns in the Eastern Transvaal Goldfield, the
dubious beginnings of the Witwatersrand, and the stories of the
visionary men like Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Beit, Barney Barnato, Sir
Ernest Oppenheimer, Sammy Marks and Hans Merensky who pioneered and
shaped the industry on which modern South Africa was built.
This epic retelling is the only single-volume account of how South
Africa’s gold, diamonds, platinum, coal and a host of other metals and
minerals – the richest treasure trove ever discovered in one country –
transformed a colonial backwater into the greatest industrialised power
on the African continent.
In this second edition, Jade Davenport adds two new chapters that
closely examine the era since the advent of democracy in which time the
mining industry has gone through a profound and distressing
transformation.

The laws of rugby are as extensive as they are confusing, their
nuances and interpretations argued over relentlessly by rugby fans
around the world and virtually impenetrable to those who are new to
the game. In an effort to provide some much-needed clarity, Paul
Williams takes an irreverent, hilarious, p*ss-taking tour through
the labyrinth that is rugby's rule book - or, for the pedantic,
rugby's law book. Hilarious, off-beat and (surprisingly)
insightful, this is the perfect gift for rugby fans all around the
world.

You were not meant to live stuck. Maybe you've had glimpses of
something much bigger, better, and higher for your life. Maybe, when
you've let yourself dream God-dreams, you've seen things that seemed
completely impossible. They're not impossible-not once you understand
that Jesus has given you "grace to go" for every situation and to
overcome every challenge.
In Graced to Go, Victoria Osteen encourages you to leave your fear
behind and take the first step in the direction that God is calling
you. Even the smallest step can get you moving towards your better
future.
Drawing from the lives of beloved Bible characters who felt stuck in
difficult circumstances or faced seemingly-insurmountable
odds-including Gideon, Abraham, Esther, and Moses-Victoria helps you
see that when they trusted Him and took a step, God blessed them with
grace to go. She walks readers through seven ways God prepares us for
our own battles. When God calls us, we are graced:
-In the strength you have
-In the position you're in
-With eyes to see the good
-Knowing you matter
-Releasing your blessing
-With no regrets
-Trusting God
When God calls us, we are graced with the strength, courage, and
gifting we need to face whatever challenge is before us. This
encouraging, empowering, and inspiring book will help you to move
toward all the favor and blessing God has for you.
An intimate, vulnerable and, compassionate conversation about the pain
of rejection, filled with practical, biblical guidance to heal and move
on with personal stories from beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer, Ginger
Stache, and other women who have risen from the ashes of loss.
In this era of epidemic loneliness, widely beloved Bible teacher Joyce
Meyer and her partner in ministry Ginger Stache offer a vulnerable,
intimate, and compassionate conversation about the shame and the pain
of rejection and the pathway to healing.
We live in a time of overwhelming loneliness and disconnection. At
least one in four Americans today are living in estrangement from a
family member, and over 50% of us experience periods of disconnection
from close relatives. No matter who we are, the sting of rejection
touches us. As a child, you may have experienced bullying or even a
parent or sibling who failed to acknowledge your value and love you as
you needed to be loved. As we grow older, the rejections we experience
pile upon one another—a boss who offers constant criticism, a spouse
who walks away and leaves us devastated, a friend who ditches us when
life gets tough.
Rejection is a common denominator of the human experience, and many of
us develop into people who view the world through the lens of rejection
as our pain causes us to burrow further into isolation, disappointment,
and sadness. Here, through Joyce’s personal story of abuse and
abandonment and Ginger’s journey of shock and betrayal in marriage, you
will find community in the fact that you are not alone, as well as hope
for the dawning of new possibilities.
In this book, Joyce Meyer and Ginger Stache are determined to banish
the stigma of rejection by leading readers to the healing balm of God’s
unconditional love. Through facing our pain head-on, learning to
embrace the truth of our absolute acceptance in Christ, and
understanding how others may react to us and to the world out of their
own lens of rejection, we can grow in confidence, develop healthy
relationships, and find lasting acceptance.
This book also contains study questions with each chapter, perfect for
group study or individual reflection.

Across oceans and centuries, this sweeping narrative shuttles between
the corridors of the Colonial Office in London, the contested streets
of Durban, and the growing sway of Delhi. At its core are the untold
struggles of Indian South Africans, communities who, in the shadow of
empire, fought to resist the ever-present threat of repatriation.
From the marble halls of the British Raj and the machinations of Indian
Agent-Generals to the solemn exodus of newly freed indentured labourers
leaving Natal’s plantations, the story illuminates histories long
obscured. It captures in haunting detail in family biographies, the
rise of a merchant class, daring to outpace their colonial rivals, only
to face relentless hostility for their audacity.
Drawing on fresh research, the book weaves together seismic events, the
independence of India, the rise of South Africa’s National Party, and
their ominous promise of mass expulsions, with the texture of everyday
life. The 1960s bring upheaval as the Group Areas Act rips communities
from their roots, yet out of this turmoil, new townships nurture a
generation of educated children and professionals, forging hope in
unexpected places. Rejecting easy narratives, the book delves into the
messy, human spaces between accommodation and resistance, where
principle and strategy, triumph and muddling through contest, as much
as they coexist.
In its final chapters, the fall of apartheid offers a moment of
transcendence. Yet it also asks: what does it mean, at last, to belong?
Ultimately, this is a story about the price and promise of belonging.
Through its unflinching gaze at struggle and survival, it becomes a
book not just for Indian South Africans, but for anyone who has ever
sought a place to call home.
From a New York Times bestselling author, this book encourages
readers to ask God for what they need, and to not be afraid of the
miracles He has in store for us.
Joel Osteen wants you to know that God is listening and waiting for you
to and ask Him for your dreams, for the big things in your heart, for
your deepest hopes, for what looks impossible. How many miracles are we
missing out on because we're not praying bold?
Pray Bold will challenge you to think bigger, to stretch your faith, to
receive what you're believing for when you pray, and to pray prayers
that move the hands of God. This book includes reflective questions for
group or individual study and 30 days of bold prayers to take you to
the next level. You'll learn to pray with confidence, you'll dare to
pray bold–and that's when you'll see the all-powerful Creator of the
universe go to work.
The ethics of changemaking and peacebuilding may appear
straightforward: advance dignity, promote well-being, minimize
suffering. Sounds simple, right? Actually acting ethically when it
really matters is rarely straightforward. If someone engaged in
change-oriented work sets out to "do good," how should we
prioritize and evaluate whose good counts? And, how ought we act
once we have decided whose good counts? Practitioners frequently
confront dilemmas where dire situations may demand some form of
response, but each of the options may have undesirable consequences
of one form or another. Dilemmas are not merely ordinary problems,
they are wicked problems: that is to say, they are defined by
circumstances that only allow for suboptimal outcomes and are based
on profound and sometimes troubling trade-offs. Wicked Problems
argues that the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation
needs a stronger and more practical sense of its ethical
obligations. For example, it argues against posing false binaries
between domestic and international issues and against viewing
violence and conflict as equivalents. It holds strategic
nonviolence up to critical scrutiny and shows that "do no harm"
approaches may in fact do harm. The contributors include scholars,
scholar practitioners in the field, and activists on the streets,
and the chapters cover the role of violence in conflict; conflict
and violence prevention and resolution; humanitarianism; community
organizing and racial justice; social movements; human rights
advocacy; transitional justice; political reconciliation; and peace
education and pedagogy, among other topics. Drawing on the lived
experiences and expertise of activists, educators, and researchers,
Wicked Problems equips readers to ask-and answer-difficult
questions about social change work.
