The End Of Whiteness aims to reveal the pathological, paranoid and bizarre consequences that the looming end of apartheid had on white culture in South Africa, and overall to show that whiteness is a deeply problematic category that needs to be deconstructed and thoughtfully considered.

This book uses contemporary media material to investigate two symptoms of this late apartheid cultural hysteria that appeared throughout the contemporary media and in popular literature during the 1980s and 1990s, showing their relation to white anxieties about social change, the potential loss of privilege and the destabilisation of the country that were imagined to be an inevitable consequence of majority rule.

The ‘Satanic panic’ revolved around the apparent threat posed by a cult of white Satanists that was never proven to exist but was nonetheless repeatedly accused of conspiracy, murder, rape, drug-dealing, cannibalism and bestiality, and blamed for the imminent destruction of white Christian civilisation in South Africa.

During the same period an unusually high number of domestic murder-suicides occurred, with parents killing themselves and their children or other family members by gunshot, fire, poison, gas, even crossbows and drownings. This so-called epidemic of family murder was treated by police, press and social scientists as a plague that specifically affected white Afrikaans families. These double monsters, both fantastic and real, helped to disembowel the clarities of whiteness even as they were born out of threats to it. Deep within its self-regarding modernity and renegotiation of identity, contemporary white South Africa still wears those scars of cultural pathology.

What happens when prophets are wrong?

In 2020, many Christians claiming to be prophets said that God told them that Donald Trump would be re-elected as president, which did not happen. What happens when prophets get it wrong? Are there consequences for misleading God's people?

In recent years, gross misjudgments among Charismatic Christians claiming to speak for God and moral failures within Evangelicalism have resulted in a crisis of belief. In Prophetic Integrity, bestselling author and speaker, R.T. Kendall gives a warning to those speaking in God's name and offers a way forward in trusting God despite the failures of the church.

Includes:

• Personal accounts of visions and supernatural experiences
• Good, bad, and ugly examples of modern-day prophecy
• Seven levels of prophetic gifting
• Examples of false teachings within open theism
• Relevant Bible verses and meaningful quotes
• Thought-provoking questions
• A call for honesty, vulnerability, and repentance

Prophetic Integrity is a book for those who believe that God still speaks today but have serious questions about those within the church that identify as prophets.

Twee gewilde Weskus-romans in een.

Haar naam is Ragel:
Die verhaal van ’n jong ma wat haar seuntjie se dood moet leer verwerk. Sy ontmoet ’n ma wat net soos sy nie kan ophou treur nie. Saam leer die twee vroue geleidelik wat die sin van lyding is en hoe God in Jesus kan troos.

Marta:
Terwyl die 17-jarige Marta se pa in haar arms sterf, vra hy haar om na haar ma om te sien. Haar geloof verval in roetinewerk, en sy neem haar kort-kort voor om haar lewe beter in te rig, maar dit gebeur nie.

Hoewel verlies en dood universeel is, hanteer elkeen dit anders. Christene se groot troos is dat God daar is in hulle pyn.

In Geseënd is die wat treur beskryf geliefde outeurs hul eie ervarings met verlies, rou en die dood. Ons Christene se grootste troos bly egter dat daar lewe na die dood is: daar is 'n weersiens.

What keeps women from feeling and being their best? For years, Joyce has been helping women better identify emotional barriers and physical, mental, and spiritual obstacles in their lives. Now she provides another answer: Confidence.

Our society has an insecurity epidemic. Women in particular compensate by pretending to be secure--a common response--which only leads to feelings of shame. Lack of self-confidence causes great difficulty in relationships of all kinds, and can even lead to divorce.

In Confidently You, Joyce explores the characteristics of a woman with confidence, which include a woman who knows she is loved, who refuses to live in fear, and who does not live by comparisons. Joyce explains that confidence stems from being positive in your actions and living honestly, but most importantly from having faith in God and in ourselves.

Verbly julle in die hoop is die tweede boek in die drieluik met die temas geloof, hoop en liefde wat verbeeld word deur die lewensverhaal van Andreas Beyers. Ons eerste ontmoeting met ’n jong Andreas is in Geloof soos ’n mosterdsaadjie, en hier vind ons hom waar hy terug delf in die verlede.

Dit is Vrydag 20 Maart 2020: Die huis waar Andreas die afgelope vyf jaar gewoon het, is opgepak. Die volgende dag vertrek hy saam met sy kinders na ’n aftreeoord in die Strand waar hy die laaste jare van sy lewe sal slyt. Hoewel Covid-19 inperkings aan die orde van die dag is, weet die meeste SuidAfrikaners, asook Andreas en die ander mense op die plattelandse dorpie glad nie wat op hulle wag nie.

Verbly julle in die hoop sal harte aanraak en twyfelaars nuwe moed gee. Jesus se volgelinge hoop nie omdat hulle wens dat dit eendag beter met hulle sal gaan nie; hulle leef in blydskap omdat hul wense reeds vervul is. Dit moes Andreas Beyers eers leer voordat hy blywende geluk kon vind.

The world tells us that having a good job, owning your own business, money, fame, and influence are all important for a successful life. If we don’t have them, we feel like a failure. But even when we achieve them, we still end up unhappy, unfulfilled, or lonely.

God wants us to be successful, but His definition of success is not the same as the world's definition. The truth is, God’s way of achieving the dreams and desires that truly fulfill us and bring genuine joy to our lives is very different—and that is what we need.

In The Pathway to Success, you will discover a deeper understanding of what it means to seek success God's way. Through her practical, relatable insights based on God’s Word, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer reveals how to actively pursue the keys to true, lasting success.

Full of rich encouragement and timeless wisdom, The Pathway to Success will allow you to refocus your life and fulfill your God-given destiny as you walk out the purpose He’s planned for you.

Each of us has innate instincts that drive our actions, our feelings, and our desires. Learning to recognize, understand, and act on those instincts can help each of us reach for the opportunities and step into the purpose for which God has called us.

In Connect to Your Calling, this compact digest by #1 New York Times bestseller T. D. Jakes will inspire you to identity and understand the longings and interests at the core of who you are. It then guides you to use those passions to uncover your goals, intentions, and deepest desires.

The profound but easy-to-apply lessons in this short book will help you evaluate your gifts and talents and walk boldly into your calling and a life of purpose.

Die Profesie-Bybel Nuwe Testament is die volledige 2020-vertaling van die Bybelgenootskap van Suid-Afrika se Nuwe Testament saam met 50 artikels oor profesie - ’n eerste in Afrikaans!

Elke Nuwe-Testamentiese Bybelboek is vergesel van ’n inleiding wat fokus op die profetiese inhoud en belang van daardie boek. Die 50 artikels dek profesieë en sluit temas in soos geheimenisse en profesie, die Kerk en profesie, die laaste dae, tekens van die tye, die Antichris, die merk van die dier, die Nuwe Jerusalem en veel meer. Profesie beslaan ’n groot gedeelte van die Bybel. ’n Bietjie meer as ’n kwart van die Skrif was profeties toe die Heilige Gees dit geïnspireer het. Vervulde profesie wys dat God getrou is om sy beloftes na te kom. Dit wys ook dat die Woord van God waar is.

Omdat God waar en getrou is, kan Hy geglo en vertrou word om steedsonvervulde beloftes en profesieë ook te vervul (vgl Joh 13:19). Verder wys profesieë dat God soewerein oor die geskiedenis en tyd is (Jes 46:9-11; Dan 2:20-22).

God is in beheer: Hy bring sy plan in Christus as Verlosser en Koning in die geskiedenis tot vervulling (Hand 4:12; Op 11:15). Profesie gee hoop vir ons toekoms in Christus.

Dit is vir ons onmoontlik om God te verstaan, ons kan slegs klein glimpsies van sy karakter kry. Een manier is om God se Name te bestudeer. Esté Geldenhuys het breedvoerige navorsing gedoen oor God se Name, en die in hierdie boek belig sy die belangrikstes, van Elohim (Drie in een) tot El Roi (die Een wat sien). Sy bespreek die Naam self in Hebreeus, waar dit in Bybel voorkom, die betekenis daarvan, wat dit in ons alledaagse lewe beteken en ook hoe om dit te gebruik in gebed.  

Die soen tussen Berdine en Dieter laat Berdine meer deurmekaar as ooit. Intussen kom die Bertha Human-skuiling op dreef en is daar oorgenoeg sake om Berdine en Melanie besig te hou.

Toe Melanie haar in desperaatheid vra om na haar man en kind om te sien as sy tot sterwe kom, aanvaar sy dit as haar plig. Maar is dit die Here se wil?

Many Jesus followers are sleepwalking through their Christian lives. They wear a smile, attend church gatherings, and try their best to make it through, but they don’t really expect answered prayers, breakthroughs, or a miraculous change in their situations. Why? Disappointment and disillusionment. The Bible calls this “hope deferred.” What we hoped for did not happen, and we are left with hopes and dreams that are dead.

But remember: we serve the God of resurrection life and revival!

Robert Henderson is the bestselling author of the Courts of Heaven series, and in this latest book he challenges you to pray for miracle reversals in every situation that seems hopeless. Resurrection thunders as a verdict from the Courts of Heaven, for it is God alone who gives life to the dead.

This powerful new book will show you how to:

• Discover the Seven Secrets to seeing dead things revived in your life
• Identify the spirit of sabotage in your life - and cancel its influence
• Make Lazarus Decrees over those situations that Jesus wants to resurrect and revive
• Dismantle the spirit of death—and stop it from impacting every area of your life
• Receive stirring biblical examples of resurrection power released into impossible situations
• Break off the pain of disappointment and position yourself for answered prayer

Resurrection is not a one-time event; it should be the default setting of the Christian life. We are filled with Jesus’ resurrection life and power! We have been commissioned by the resurrected Jesus to see His supernatural miracle power reverse any plan of the enemy that has sought to steal, kill, and destroy.

Jesus promised, “Seek and you will find!”

Do you long for a transforming encounter with the living God? Jesus assures us that those willing to become seekers will find what their hearts most deeply desire. The promise is clear. Those who seek God consistently, faithfully, and passionately will not be disappointed. They will find God and all those good things that accompany God’s Kingdom.

Profoundly influenced by his long friendship with Dallas Willard, and his experience guiding people through the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius for the last thirty years, Trevor Hudson offers you a practical tool kit for your seeking journey. You search for God does not have to take you to a remote mountain top as God wants to meet us right where we are in our everyday lives.

Reading the wisdom contained within the pages of Seeking God will help you to move beyond insight and knowledge and encounter the presence of the living God as a reality in your daily life.

Daar is geen towerformule om wysheid te bekom nie.

Dit vra ʼn leeftyd se dag-tot-dag-toewyding en soeke na die ware wysheid. Dit vra dat ons met ons oor op die grond sal leef, in afwagting op God se stem wat ons leer hoe om ware wysheid – die wysheid wat van Hom kom – te verkry.

In hierdie 366 dagstukkies neem bekende skrywer Lizette Murray ons hand en lei ons na Hom toe, die bron van Wysheid, en help ons om met wysheid te leef, in ons alledaagse bestaan.

Seeking Sanctuary brings together poignant life stories from fourteen lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) migrants, refugees and asylum seekers living in Johannesburg, South Africa. The stories, diverse in scope, chronicle each narrator’s arduous journey to South Africa, and their corresponding movement towards self-love and self-acceptance.

The narrators reveal their personal battles to reconcile their faith with their sexuality and gender identity, often in the face of violent persecution, and how they have carved out spaces of hope and belonging in their new home country. In these intimate testimonies, the narrators’ resilience in the midst of uncertain futures reveal the myriad ways in which LGBT Africans push back against unjust and unequal systems.

Seeking Sanctuary makes a critical intervention by showing the complex interplay between homophobia and xenophobia in South Africa, and of the state of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) rights in Africa. By shedding light on the fraught connections between sexuality, faith and migration, this ground-breaking project also provides a model for religious communities who are working towards justice, diversity and inclusion.
