She soon realized that the only way to survive was to work twice as hard and be twice as good as anyone else. This inspirational story is a powerful reminder of how courage and determination can overcome adversity.

Wanneer ’n mens se lewe vreeslik deurmekaar voel met niks wat reg uitwerk nie, mense wat siek word, vriende wat vreemde dinge doen en wêreldwye chaos, het jongmense ’n anker nodig.

As gelowiges is ons grootste lewensanker God en sy Woord. Gewilde skrywer Ewald van Rensburg ken die harte van kinders en jongmense, en hy verstaan hulle vrae en twyfel. Met die opbouende en inspirerende verhale in hierdie 365 Skrifgebaseerde oordenkings wil hy opnuut vir jong tieners hoop bring in ’n wankelende wêreld. Die oordenkings fokus op God se ewige liefde en trou, en sy redding deur Jesus Christus deur vanaf Genesis tot Openbaring chronologies deur die Bybel te werk. Elke kort oordenking word gevolg deur ’n kort gebed.

God in elke storie se 365 oordenkings sal elke jongmens se hart opnuut anker in God se trou.

What does it mean to be a Brahmin, and what could it mean to become one? Over the years, intellectuals and dogmatists have offered plenty of answers to the first question, but the latter presents a cultural puzzle, since normative Brahminical ideology deems it impossible for an ordinary individual to change caste without first undergoing death and rebirth. There is, however, one notable figure in the Hindu mythological tradition who is said to have transformed himself from a king into a Brahmin by amassing great ascetic power, or tapas: the ornery sage Visvamitra. Through texts composed in Sanskrit and vernacular languages, oral performances, and visual media. Crossing the Lines of Caste examines the rich mosaic of legends about Visvamitra found across the Hindu mythological tradition. It offers a comprehensive historical analysis of how the "storyworlds" conjured up through these various tellings have served to adapt, upgrade, and reinforce the social identity of real-world Brahmin communities, from the ancient Vedic past up to the hypermodern present. Using a performance-centered approach to situate the production of the Visvamitra legends within specific historical contexts, Crossing the Lines of Caste reveals how and why mythological culture has played an active, dialogical role in the construction of Brahmin social power over the last three thousand years.
