Die skrywer Erika Murray-Theron wou weet waar die vroue in haar familie vandaan kom. Wat kry ’n mens van wie? Waar kom alles wat jý is vandaan? Hoe is die vroue in haar familie se lewe geraak deur trauma en groot wêreldgebeurtenisse waaroor hulle geen beheer gehad het nie? Theron se ouma Issie is op 3 Mei 1885 gebore; 133 jaar gelede. In hierdie verhaalbiografie gaan soek Theron in ou kookboeke, aantekeninge, foto’s, herinneringe, albums, briewe en geslagsregisters na haar ouma Issie se storie. ’n Lewe ontvou wat geraak is deur die verlies van ouers, die Anglo-Boereoorlog, die Rebellie van 1914 en daarna die energie wat dit verg om ’n groot huisgesin te behartig. ’n Skerfie glas wys hoe die verlede, selfs die verre verlede, spore op latere geslagte laat.
On March 21, 1960, a line of 150 white policemen fired 1344 rounds
into a crowd of several thousand people assembled outside a police
station, protesting against the Apartheid regime's racist "pass"
laws. The gunfire left in its wake sixty-seven dead and one hundred
and eighty six wounded. Most of the people who were killed were
shot in the back, hit while running away.
The Sharpeville Massacre, as the event has become known, marked
the start of armed resistance in South Africa, and prompted
worldwide condemnation of South Africa's Apartheid policies. In
Sharpeville, Tom Lodge explains how and why the Massacre occurred,
looking at the social and political background to the events of
March 1960 as well as the long-term consequences of the shootings.
Lodge offers a gripping account of the Massacre itself as well as
the wider events that accompanied the tragedy, particularly the
simultaneous protest in Cape Town which helped prolong the
political crisis that developed in the wake of the shootings. Just
as important, he sheds light on the long term consequences of these
events. He explores how the Sharpeville events affected the
perceptions of black and white political leadership in South Africa
as well as South Africa's relationship with the rest of the world,
and he describes the development of an international
"Anti-Apartheid" movement in the wake of the shootings.
In South Africa today, March 21 is a public holiday, Human Rights
Day, and for many people, it remains a day of mourning and
memorial. This book illuminates this pivotal event in South African
history.
Uit die vertellinge van C.F. Gronum kry die leser ’n seldsame en
insiggewende blik op die leefwyse van die negentiende-eeuse Boere
in die Maricodistrik. Jagtogte, transportryery, verskillende tipes
meule, die delwerye op Kimberley en die Kimberleyse trein is maar
enkele aspekte wat aandag geniet. Die ingewikkelde verhouding
tussen die Boere en Mzilikaze word onder meer in hierdie
kontreigeskiedenis verken. So word daar byvoorbeeld vertel van
tante Pertoors wat uiteindelik haar groen kappie aan Mzilikaze
afgestaan het en hoe hy twee jaar later steeds hoogs in sy skik die
kappie gedra het! Jagtogte, transportryery, verskillende tipes
meule, die delwerye op Kimberley en die Kimberleyse trein is maar
enkele aspekte wat aandag geniet.
Paid in Full, a riveting account of Jesus' final hours, takes you
on a journey that does just that. It powerfully explains the
significance--for every person ever born--of each step Jesus
willingly took along the way of His suffering, His death, and His
resurrection. Noted Bible teacher Rick Renner draws a brilliant
backdrop to the passion of Jesus Christ, interjecting fresh
insights into the human and divine drama that took place in
Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago.
The writers of the Bible speak to us with their words, and the Bible's characters speak to us with their lives. Their powerful examples reveal the spiritual inspiration and brilliant insight the human writers and the divine Writer intended. Times, cultures, traditions, and societal values may change from century to century, but human nature does not.
We value people whose words and actions reflect their true thoughts and intentions. People of integrity purposely integrate their own thoughts, words, and behaviors. They work at making their own hearts and minds, thoughts and ideas consistent with the godly character portrayed in Scripture.
These twenty-five Bible personalities in Choose Your Character cultivate a desire to deepen the commitment to live a life of unfailing integrity. Their examples teach us how to increase our personal satisfaction and effectiveness while strengthening our ability to influence others.
