An unknown author writes an unlikely book and inadvertently sparks an improbable global movement.
The manuscript was written longhand on a yellow pad in a small Oregon town by a Quaker pastor describing twelve ancient Christian disciplines (the very definition of the term "unlikely"). But publishers at Harper & Row saw something special in what Richard Foster had written and took a risk. The movement kindled by the book developed slowly, almost imperceptibly. But once it caught hold, it exploded into flame.
Celebration of Discipline was conceived during a period in history that Charles Dickens might describe as being the best of times and the worst of times. From its inception, American culture had been linked to Christian faith and values. We were "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The 1950s and early '60s saw the peak years of American churchgoing, when 70 percent of citizens attended church. But as the decade of the '60s stretched on, values and perspectives that had long been accepted as foundational to American faith and life began to come into question.
When Celebration of Discipline spotlighted the superficiality that had come to characterize Christianity, it ignited the spiritual formation movement by prescribing the ancient spiritual practices as the necessary corrective. Michael Maudlin, religion publisher at HarperCollins, acknowledges, "People do not remember how Christians thought about spiritual formation in Christ before Celebration of Discipline was published. Most everybody now thinks it is natural for evangelicals to practice spiritual Disciplines. But it was not always so. Celebration of Discipline serves as a wonderful window into how a book can change a subculture."
This is the story of that book.
The 1940s was a watershed decade for American cinema and the
nation. At the start of the decade, Hollywood - shaking off the
Depression - launched an unprecedented wave of production,
generating some of its most memorable classics, including Citizen
Kane, Rebecca, The Lady Eve, Sergeant York, and How Green Was My
Valley. Hollywood then joined the national war effort with a
vengeance, creating a series of patriotic and escapist films, such
as Casablanca, Mrs. Miniver, The Road to Morocco, and Yankee Doodle
Dandy. By the end of the war America was a country transformed. The
1940s closed with the threat of the atom bomb and the beginnings of
the Hollywood blacklist. Film Noir reflected the new public mood of
pessimism and paranoia. Classic films of betrayal and conflict -
Kiss of Death, Force of Evil, Caught, and Apology for Murder -
depicted a poisonous universe of femme fatales, crooked lawyers,
and corrupt politicians.
The "birds, beasts and flowers" of Isobel Dixon’s new collection are in
conversation with DH Lawrence's essay ‘Whistling of Birds’, thus
lending this publication its name, though each poem here is its
own vivid testament to the natural world, and our often troubled and
troubling place in it.
Lyrical, vigorous, inventive, the poems share points of creative
contact with Lawrence’s iconic collection, Birds, Beasts and Flowers,
but also ranges widely through the worlds of other writers and
makers. Threaded throughout is the beautiful complexity and
vulnerability of the planet, and the joy and difficulty of making art.
With its resonant elegies and notes of celebration, this is a collection
that flexes, hums and brims with energy, yet draws you surely in to its
quiet, reflective heart.
Poetry as powerful connection and recapitulation, and, even in
landscapes of exile and diminishment, the art of rewilding and
replenishing the self.

This timely book is a crucial resource on the rich diversity of
African constitutional law, making a significant contribution to
the increasingly important field of comparative constitutional law
from a historically understudied region. Offering an examination of
substantive topics from multiple jurisdictions, it emphasises
issues of local importance while also providing varied perspectives
on common challenges across the continent. Divided into four
thematic parts, chapters cover a wide array of subjects including a
variety of constitutional rights, the regulation of political
parties, constitutional formation and amendments, and the influence
of regional organizations. Featuring contributions both from
scholars from Africa and from outside the region, the book
elucidates Africa's place within the growing discourse of
comparative constitutional law. Opening up new cases and vistas of
study, this book will be a vital read for all scholars and students
of comparative constitutional law. It will also be of interest to
practitioners and policymakers working on constitutional issues, as
well as those interested in African politics and constitutional
development more broadly.
