It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong.

Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself.

Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

In a telegram dated 29 April 1963, thirty-year-old Afrikaans poet Ingrid Jonker thanks André Brink, a young novelist of twenty-eight, for flowers and a letter he sent her. In the more than two hundred letters that followed this telegram, one of South African literature’s most famous love affairs unfolds. Jonker’s final letter to Brink is dated 18 April 1965. She drowned herself in the ocean at Three Anchor Bay three months later.

More than fifty years on, this poignant, often stormy relationship still grips readers’ imaginations.

In December 2014, three months before his death on 6 February 2015, André Brink offered these never-before-seen letters, as well as personal photographs, for publication.

They’re back, and better than ever!

His works ranked alongside those of Darwin and Marx in the development of disciplines as wide ranging as sociology, anthropology, political theory, philosophy and psychology.

Elegantly written, provocative and rich in insight it will be required reading for all students of the period.

'The clock is ticking, and all life is in danger, yet we still have time. . . . So let us take the first steps and go out to encounter the other - those who are different from us. Let us put our hands, minds, and hearts into working together. Let us be the change we want to see in the world.' Pope Francis In his most challenging and outward-facing book yet, Pope Francis reflects on ten vital issues the world is facing today. I Am Asking in the Name of God is an unflinching and inspiring work that celebrates the tenth anniversary of Francis' papal election and encompasses his hopes and dreams for the Church and for all humanity. The book is being released in over a dozen other languages throughout the world. Among other prayers, Pope Francis is asking in the name of God * for the media to reject fake news and renounce hateful language * for a stop to the madness of war * for the welcome of migrants and refugees * for the eradication of the culture of abuse from within the Church I Am Asking in the Name of God is the Pope's manifesto for the world: a heartfelt call for all people to to embrace and encourage the good, while rejecting and renouncing the dark forces of hatred, greed, deceit and delusion that threaten to engulf us. These words of wisdom from Pope Francis are both practical and realistic, as well as hopeful. They provide a clear vision of the peaceful, just and sustainable world - and as such, should matter to anyone who wants to work for a better world. The perfect book for all admirers of the Pope and the progressive changes he's introducing within the Catholic Church, I Am Asking in the Name of God will also appeal to anyone who desires a better world and wants to work together for positive change.
