'A brave new voice that reaches out to us all' Miranda Doyle, author of A Book of Untruths 28-year-old Zeba Talkhani charts her experiences growing up in Saudi Arabia amid patriarchal customs reminiscent of The Handmaid's Tale, and her journey to find freedom in India, Germany and the UK. Talkhani offers a fresh perspective on living as an outsider and examines her relationship with her mother and the challenges she faced when she experienced hair loss at a young age. Rejecting the traditional path her culture had chosen for her, Talkhani became financially independent and married on her own terms in the UK. Drawing on her personal experiences Talkhani shows how she fought for the right to her individuality as a Muslim feminist and refused to let negative experiences define her.

The Island - A history of Robben Island, 1488-1990 (Paperback): Harriet Deacon The Island - A history of Robben Island, 1488-1990 (Paperback)

Robben Island is a low-lying outcrop of rock and sand guarding the entrance to South Africa's Table Bay. Although it is just a few kilometres long and a barely swimmable distance from Cape Town, it may well be the most significant historical site in South Africa today.;Paradoxically it symbolises both the repressiveness of the apartheid state and the strength of those who opposed it. While interpretations of the island's history have focused mainly on its role as political prison and on the well-known prisoners held there, such as Nelson Mandela, the island has been put to many and varied uses over the last 500 years: as pantry, hospital, mental asylum, military camp as well as prison. In spite of these various roles there are continuities in its history. Above all, the island has served mainly as repository for those who were considered dangerous to the South African social order. A history of the island provides therefore an off-shore echo of the history of the mainland.

THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER

'The most important book you’ll ever read… Battle Scars will save lives.' TOM MARCUS, author of SOLDIER SPY

Battle Scars tells the story of Jason Fox’s career as an elite operator, from the gunfights, hostage rescues, daring escapes and heroic endeavours that defined his service, to a very different kind of battle that awaited him at home.

After more than two decades of active duty, Foxy was diagnosed with complex PTSD, forcing him to leave the military brotherhood and confront the hard reality of what follows. What happens when you become your own enemy? How do you keep on fighting when life itself no longer feels worth fighting for?

Unflinchingly honest, Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery, and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield.

Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein
R277 R132 Discovery Miles 1 320 Save R145 (52%) In Stock

It began with a break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington DC, on 17 June 1972 . Bob Woodward, a journalist for the Washington Post, was called into the office on a Saturday morning to cover the story. Carl Bernstein , a political reporter on the Post, was also assigned. They soon learned this was no ordinary burglary.

Following lead after lead, Woodward and Bernstein picked up a trail of money, conspiracy and high-level pressure that ultimately led to the doors of the Oval Office. Men very close to the President were implicated, and then Richard Nixon himself. Over a period of months, Woodward met secretly with Deep Throat, for decades the most famous anonymous source in the history of journalism. As he and Bernstein pieced the jigsaw together, they produced a series of explosive stories that would not only win the Post a Pulitzer Prize, they would bring about the President's scandalous downfall.

ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN documents this amazing story. Taut, gripping and fascinating, it is a classic of its kind -- the true story of the events that changed the American presidency.

Not either an experimental doll - The separate worlds of three South African women (Paperback): Shula Marks Not either an experimental doll - The separate worlds of three South African women (Paperback)
Shula Marks
R117 R48 Discovery Miles 480 Save R69 (59%) In Stock

If, for most of the past in most parts of the world, most women have been 'hidden from history', black women in South Africa have been doubly hidden, both as women and because they are black. Three women - two of them black - meet in the pages of this title. Lily Moya was a Transkei schoolgirl growing up in lonely and alien surroundings. She sought help with her education from Mabel Palmer, an elderly white academic, then Organiser of the Natal University College's Non-European section. The third was Subusisiwe Makhanya, a remarkable Zulu woman and a pioneer social worker. Their letters illuminate more of the South African condition than the majority of history textbooks; the generosities, yet humiliations, of white liberalism; the nature of mission education; the socialisation of black girls; and the dilemmas they confront. They also reveal the separate worlds which we all inhabit, but which are made more frightening and more separate by the divisions of age, ethnicity and race.

Do Not Leave Quietly - A Call for Everyday People to Rise Up and Defeat Evil (Paperback): Mario Murillo Do Not Leave Quietly - A Call for Everyday People to Rise Up and Defeat Evil (Paperback)
Mario Murillo; Foreword by Lance Wallnau
R416 R382 Discovery Miles 3 820 Save R34 (8%) In Stock

What does it mean to "leave quietly"? It means making the worst mistake of your life. By leaving quietly, you inflict unspeakable harm on your children and grandchildren.

The battle is raging. Two realms are seeking to influence the natural world—light and darkness. There is no middle ground. Depending on how you participate in life, either Heaven or Hell will advance its agenda into the Earth. The Holy Spirit is trying to show us what is at stake. He is trying to create something that will stop an evil every bit as hideous as Hitler. His voice is crying out to everyone, from celebrity pastors to Christian billionaires to everyday believers. He is ordering us to toss aside petty squabbles and build a movement that can destroy the nameless horror we face.

Mario Murillo is a bestselling author, popular blogger, and minister of the Gospel. As an evangelist for nearly 50 years, Murillo has weathered many cultural shifts, but his message has remained steadfast. In the midst of our current cultural climate, God is seeking to raise an army of prophetic people whose voices shape the direction of the nation.

Do Not Leave Quietly is a prophetic war cry for every reader to:

  • Be ignited with a holy resolve to stop the enemy's plans.
  • Expose and defeat woke and cancel cultures, and win the war on our freedom.
  • Activate the key to seeing signs and wonders to impact your community.
  • Advance the light of God’s Kingdom in the spheres of influence you are called to impact.

Lord, let me use the rest of my life to strike terror into the heart of evil! Say that prayer. Make it your own. If you can do that with faith and sincerity, then you are ready to read this book.
