The Eastern Christian tradition is filled with theological and spiritual riches. In Passions of the Soul, Rowan Williams opens up the great classics of Eastern Christian writing to show how it can help us to understand and cope with the ups and downs of modern life.With compelling and illuminating insight, he shows the cost of living in a culture that is theologically and philosophically undernourished, working with a diminished and trivialized picture of the human self. The Eastern tradition teaches us how to develop our self-knowledge and awareness, so that we can relate to the world without selfish illusions. Only then can we be ready for our eyes to be opened to God, and avoid destructive patterns of behaviour.Only in this way can we understand the kind of people we need to become.

Named a Notable African Book of 2023 by Brittle Paper The Beauty Hunters offers a rare insight into Sudanese Bedouin poetry, its evolution, aesthetics, and impact. Through an in-depth profile of al-?ardallo, the doyen of this art form, Adil Babikir explores the attributes that established him as a poet of international stature. The life of al-?ardallo was a series of journeys in pursuit of beauty. From wandering across the Bu?ana wilderness to his adventures with women, he documented the ups and downs of his life using superb verse. In addition to its aesthetic value, al-?ardallo⠙s poetry offers rich material for Sudanese studies as it carries glimpses of the sociopolitical developments in Sudan during his lifetime, having lived through three distinct eras: Turco-Egyptian rule (1820⠓1885), Mahdist rule (1885⠓1898), and part of the Anglo-Egyptian era (1898⠓1956). Reading Bedouin poetry in a hybrid context, as a major contributor to what Babikir calls a uniquely Sudanese aesthetic taste, The Beauty Hunters makes an invaluable addition to the discourse on Sudan⠙s cultural identity.

Finalist for the Gotham Book Prize, the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award, and the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence * Longlisted for the Story Prize Named a BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR by NPR, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, Chicago Review of Books, LitHub, and Electric Lit “A standout achievement…American speech is an underused commodity in contemporary fiction and it’s a joy to find such a vital example of it here.” —The Wall Street Journal From a superb new literary talent, a rich, lyrical collection of stories about a tight-knit cast of characters grappling with their own personal challenges while the forces of gentrification threaten to upend life as they know it.At Banneker Terrace, everybody knows everybody, or at least knows of them. Longtime tenants’ lives are entangled together in the ups and downs of the day-to-day, for better or for worse. The neighbors in the unit next door are friends or family, childhood rivals or enterprising business partners. In other words, Harlem is home. But the rent is due, and the clock of gentrification—never far from anyone’s mind—is ticking louder now than ever. In eight interconnected stories, Sidik Fofana conjures a residential community under pressure. There is Swan, in apartment 6B, whose excitement about his friend’s release from prison jeopardizes the life he’s been trying to lead. Mimi, in apartment 14D, hustles to raise the child she had with Swan, waitressing at Roscoe’s and doing hair on the side. And Quanneisha B. Miles, in apartment 21J, is a former gymnast with a good education who wishes she could leave Banneker for good, but can’t seem to escape the building’s gravitational pull. We root for the tight-knit cast of characters as they weave in and out of one another’s narratives, working to escape their pasts and blaze new paths forward for themselves and the people they love. All the while we brace, as they do, for the challenges of a rapidly shifting future. Stories from the Tenants Downstairs brilliantly captures the joy and pain of the human experience in this “singular accomplishment from a writer to watch” (Library Journal, starred review).

A lively diary chronicling the ups and downs of running a grocery shop in a Yorkshire town during the rationing years of the Second World War Kathleen Hey spent the war years helping her sister and brother-in-law run a grocery shop in the Yorkshire town of Dewsbury. From July 1941 to July 1946 she kept a diary for the Mass-Observation project, recording the thoughts and concerns of the people who used the shop. What makes Kathleen #39;s account such a vivid and compelling read is the immediacy of her writing. People were pulling together on the surface ( #39;Bert has painted the V-sign on the shop door… #39;, she writes) but there are plenty of tensions underneath. The shortage of food and the extreme difficulty of obtaining it is a constant thread, which dominates conversation in the town, more so even than the danger of bombardment and the war itself. Sometimes events take a comic turn. A lack of onions provokes outrage among her customers, and Kathleen writes, #39;I believe they think we have secret onion orgies at night and use them all up. #39; The Brooke Bond tea rep complains that tea need not be rationed at all if supply ships were not filled with #39;useless goods #39; such as Corn Flakes, and there is a long-running saga about the non-arrival of Smedley #39;s peas. Among the chorus of voices she brings us, Kathleen herself shines through as a strong and engaging woman who refuses to give in to doubts or misery and who maintains her keen sense of humour even under the most trying conditions. A vibrant addition to our records of the Second World War, the power of her diary lies in its juxtaposition of the everyday and the extraordinary, the homely and the universal, small town life and the wartime upheavals of a nation.

Paul went on to draw the great striker hundreds of times and eventually got to meet his hero. Harry started following the club as a child in the early 1960s and his early obsession was with Jimmy Greaves, spending all his pocket money on old press photographs of the record-breaking Spurs striker. Perhaps these early obsessions set the pair of them on the way to their respective careers?On The Pitch and Off The Drawing Board is packed full of anecdotes and behind the scenes stories from Spursâ ™ past, from the time Harry Harris challenged then manager Terry Neill to a race around the White Hart Lane pitch to Paul helping Gazza with his shooting training at Wembley just months before that free-kick in the FA Cup semi-final.This book is a must for all Tottenham fans.

A friendly and affirming collection of 52 secular essays with interactive journaling prompts for those seeking spiritual connection and comfort outside the confines of organized religion.In Sermons on the Couch, Cindy Gentry offers weekly sermons that meet people where they are⠔whether religious or spiritual, agnostic or atheist. Instead of references to deities, her lessons are placed in the context of a force in the Universe. Instead of Biblical quotes, she uses the wise words of celebrities, scientists, poets, and thinkers. Rather than traditional hymns, she closes each sermon with suggested popular songs from across genres. At the end of each Sermon, she offers journal questions to guide further contemplation of the weekly topic.For example, the book⠙s opening sermon is titled ⠜Resolutions.⠝ To avoid the self-criticism that comes from not following through on resolutions, Cindy suggests reframing them into more general goals such as becoming a happier, healthier person, improving relationships, and making the world a better place. Journal questions prompt reflection on past experiences with resolutions and what the reader might do differently this year, and the hymn selection for this sermon is New Beginning, by Tracy Chapman.Writes Cindy, ⠜So, that is my mission. To enjoy a laugh and a song, but most of all, to remind people each week, despite the crazy ups and downs of life, that they are perfect in their imperfections, the Universe loves them unconditionally, and that we can hold on to each other.⠝

Between 1980 and 1993, Simon Hughes was a regular on the county circuit, playing for Middlesex until 1991 before moving on to Durham at the end of his career. In that time, he played alongside some of the great characters in cricket: Mike Brearley, Mike Gatting, Phil Edmonds and Ian Botham. This is not an autobiography of a good county pro, but a look at the ups and downs, the lifestyle, the practical jokes and sheer hard yakka that make such a poorly paid, insecure job appeal to so many. Now a respected journalist and broadcaster, Simon Hughes has written a brilliant, amusing and wrily self-depracating book, packed with hilarious and embarrassing anecdotes about some of the greatest cricketers of the last 20 years.

Awaken the gifts and power of the 6th dimension hidden in your star ancestor DNA• Explains how our collective evolution from 3D to 5D is designed to include the spiritual frequencies of the Sixth Dimension • Offers meditations, tools, and insights to awaken dormant strands of DNA, activate light codes, and use our 6D gifts to change our world • Explores the light language of 6D that is found embedded in sacred geometry and sound, and how it connects us to Divine Mind As physical reality shifts from 3D to 5D, humans are evolving from the dense 3D/4D frequencies to the enlightening frequencies of 5D/6D. In this guide to incorporating 6D into our ascension process, Judith shows how to activate its power to manifest our highest potential, personally and collectively. As 3D/4D humans, 10 of our 12 strands of DNA are shut down. This book shows how, as we evolve into 5D/6D Divine humans, we reopen these strands and activate their embedded light codes. With meditations, spiritual tools, and insights to activate these light codes, Judith reveals how to identify old beliefs, wounds, and resistances and consciously process, release, and transform them. She explores the light language of 6D embedded in sacred geometry and sound, and how it connects us to Divine Mind. Activating more strands of DNA gives us access to higher dimensions and reclaim the wisdom of our Star ancestors and the civilizations they seeded in Atlantis, Lemuria, and ancient Egypt. Connecting with 6D frequencies allows us to manifest intentions and receive 6-dimensional gifts, such as connecting with our ka body, the energetic blueprint of our soul. This helps us connect to our star family for guidance, integrate the collective shadow, and activate our Starseed memories. As more of us do this, we shift the physical reality of our planet to usher in a new Golden Age. Guiding us through our collective ascension journey, Judith helps us unlock our potential, reconnect with divine wisdom, and create a more loving and vibrant reality.

From one of the world s great storytellers and author of The Book Thief, Markus Zusak, this is a tender, motley and exquisitely written memoir about dogs, love and nature.What happens when the Zusaks open their family home to three big, wild, pound-hardened dogs - Reuben, a wolf at your door with a hacksaw; Archer, blond, beautiful, deadly; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm?The answer can only be chaos: there are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property trashing, bodily injuries, stomach pumping, purest comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that needs to be seen to be believed . . . not to mention the odd police visit at some ungodly hour of the morning.There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love - and the joy and recognition of family.Three Wild Dogs (and the truth) is the human need for both connection and disorder; but it s also a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty - but also the visceral truth of the natural world - straight to our doors and into our lives, and change us forever.
