Believing in God by Beth Moore

€0.00

“Is it working? Your belief system, that is. Is it really working? God’s intention all along has been for the believer’s life to work. From divine perspective toward terrestrial turf, God meant for his children to succeed. . .

Are our Christian lives successful? Are they achieving and experiencing what Scripture said they would? In a recent sermon my son-in-law preached, Curt told us the only way we were going to impact the world and the next generation is to prove that our faith in Christ is real and that it works. For countless Christians I’m convinced it’s real. My concern is whether or not we have the fruit to suggest it works.”—Beth Moore; Believing God

THE LAW OF SUCCESS BY NAPOLEON HILL

€0.00

ABOUT THE BOOK

'Teaching, for the First Time in the History of the World, the True Philosophy upon which all Personal Success is Built.'

"Thousands of people walked over the great Calumet Copper Mine without discovering it. Just one lone man used his “imagination,” dug down into the earth a few feet, investigated, and discovered the richest copper deposit on earth.

You and every other person walk, at one time or another, over your “Calumet Mine.” Discovery is a matter of investigation and use of “imagination.” This course on the Fifteen Laws of Success may lead the way to your “Calumet,” and you may be surprised when you discover that you were standing right over this rich mine, in the work in which you are now engaged. In his lecture on “Acres of Diamonds,” Russell Conwell tells us that we need not seek opportunity in the distance; that we may find it right where we stand! THIS IS A TRUTH WELL WORTH REMEMBERING!"

NAPOLEON HILL,

Author of the Law of Success.

AFRICA 39 With a Preface by Wole Soyinka

€0.00

About AFRICA 39 With a Preface by Wole Soyinka

Thirty-nine writers, representing sixteen countries from south of the Sahara, can only provide a snapshot of the potential offerings from a vast continent of storytellers, this anthology is a good place to start. There are love stories here; explorations in language that seek to bridge the gap between poetry and prose; political works of psychedelic daring; a look at the far future that comments on social repression today; re-imaginings of historical events; explorations in crime writing. There is no danger of ‘a single story’ here. Indeed, one would be hard pressed to find collective concerns, unifying themes or even to coin a definition that adequately describes the range, stylistic inclinations and subjects herein. At their best, the writers of Africa39 show themselves a generation whose imaginations are unbound – time, space and circumstance are adapted, adopted and shaped in stories that are as different from each other as their creators are unique.

With an introduction by Wole Soyinka, Africa39 is a must-read for anyone curious about Africa today and Africa tomorrow, as envisioned through the eyes of its brightest literary stars.

Chinua Achebe A Man of the People

€0.00

Review 1

This is a classical parable about an established politician (Chief Nanga) who angers a young upstart (Odili, Nanga’s former best pupil in class) by bedding what Nanga thinks is one of Odili’s many girlfriends (but in fact turned out to be his only serious gf).

The aggrieved young man vows revenge, setting out to steal Chief Nanga’s proposed second wife, Edna, and establishing a new opposition party.

The point Chinua Achebe wishes to make in this novel is that post-Independence nationalist politics reflects big men rule, whereby upstarts use the political path as another means to settle personal grievances.

The novel is obviously set in Nigeria, and succinctly highlights all sorts of mechanisms that keep the powerful in power. At some stage however, once the elections have been won by the ruling party, Odili’s party has been crushed, its leader killed, Odili himself crippled in hospital, the genie is out of the bottle. The organised violent gangs instituted by the ruling party to win the elections, take the law in their own hands, going on a looting spree.

This then destabilizes the country to such an extent that the silent, cynical masses spring to life, and the Army commits a coup d’Etat to restore order by jailing the ruling chiefs.

Chinua’s novel was seen as a master piece at the time, since it predated the coupe in Nigeria by 6 months.

Review 2

As Minister for Culture, former school teacher M. A. Nanga is a man of the people, as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish opportunist.

When Odili, an idealistic young teacher, visits his former instructor at the ministry, the division between them is vast.

But in the eat-and-let-eat atmosphere, Odili's idealism soon collides with his lusts—and the two men's personal and political tauntings threaten to send their country into chaos.

When Odili launches a vicious campaign against his former mentor for the same seat in an election, their mutual animosity drives the country to revolution.

AS A MAN THINKETH by JAMES ALLEN

AS A MAN THINKETH by JAMES ALLEN


Review
"This short book is in two parts. The first part provides an essay on the power of thinking to overcome one's own selfishness.


The second part provides thirty-one days of morning and evening meditations. Ryan Holiday mentioned this book a few times, so I purchased a copy. I particularly like the Dover "Empower Your Life" Series which includes a number of interesting books in unabridged formats.


Allen's work has inspired me to revisit a few books I read in the early 1990s and early 2000s. The key message is that "Sweet is the rest and deep the bliss of him who has freed his heart from its lusts and hatreds and dark desires".


Without referring directly to it, Allen indicates that the internal locus of control, one of the central lessons I try to teach in my leadership classes, is the key.


I intend to try these meditations over the next month, because I think Allen is right."

"This book is definitely in my top 5 favorites. Amazing spirit of a man who lost everything yet had one of the most beautiful minds of all time.

You cannot help but be captivated by the author's thought process. Each child should read this book!    "
Mark_Oszoli | Nov 8, 2014 |

"Been many years since I read this book but for the longest time I used it as a meditative tool to help me understand my life.

In retrospect I think I was trying to find a way to live my life back then without the use of drugs, which I was finding impossible to do, at least by my own failed measures.

​The book never "cured" me, but it made me think. Today I am drug-free, basically happy, or not, wiser and older of age, but as a serious writer attempting to make history wishing always for the disease and not the cure. "

HomeComing by Ngugi wa Thiong'o

€0.00

The Kenyan author explores the pan-African and anti-imperialist themes that commonly occur in the Black literature of Africa and the West Indies.
About the author (1973)
Novelist, playwright, and essayist, Ngugi wa Thiong'o was born in Kenya on January 5, 1938. He received a B.A. in English from Makerere University College in Kampala, Uganda in 1963. He is Kenya's best-known writer and one of East Africa's most outspoken social critics. His first novel, Weep Not, Child (1964), was a penetrating account of the Mau Mau uprising (a tribal revolt that occurred in colonial Kenya) and was the first English-language novel by an East African. Two subsequent works, The River Between (1965) and A Grain of Wheat (1967), are sensitive novels about the Kikuyu people caught between the old and the new Africa. One of his major concerns has been the lack of reading materials in native African languages. In an attempt to bring literature to African peasants and workers, he wrote and produced the play I Will Marry When I Want (1977) in his native Kikuyu language. The play, which shows the exploitation of Kikuyu workers and peasants, attracted a large audience of poor Kenyans. It also led to Ngugi's arrest and imprisonment. After his release from prison, he went into exile and is currently living in the United States. His other works include Detained (1981); Decolonising the Mind: The Politics of Language in African Literature (1986); and Matigari (1987). He received the 2001 Nonino International Prize for Literature. In 2006, Random House published his first new novel in nearly two decades, Wizard of the Crow.

Animal Farm by George Orwell

€0.00

Review 1

To me, It`s perfection it self...

watching your own world in a mirror with a book written 80 years ago is something else, it`s fact well-known that every revolutionary rebellion has its commander even if you take every precaution to prevent it, it will appear because simply you don`t trust your self enough to tell it what to do so you need to be told "Comrade Napoleon, what will we gonna do now?"... "Comrade Napoleon is always right" ... "the water simply taste better because of Comrade Napoleon" ... "sure, you don`t want Jones back, are you Comrade?" ... and, any commander has his ego and even if he hadn`t it, believe me he will got it. "his" ego not their or them, there is no "we" in the process no "Animalism". every thing he do must be appreciated, every problem he has must be solved and every bless must be his.

"all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others" , Simply like that.

~Omnia reda's review

Review 2

I read this book in Kiswahili version (shamba la wanyama) and it was fantastic. You will always finish a chapter and begin another.

This novel is about power struggles. The animals overthrow the existing government (farmer) and start governing their own however some animals on the leadership ladder gang to lead others and the excesses of the old system spill over to the new system.

Famous quote: "all animals are equal however there are those animals which are more equal than others"

This book is a reflection of how the Kenyan government has been run since precolonial times.

~ Maurice

About the author (2011)

ERIC ARTHUR BLAIR (1903–1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English author and journalist whose best-known works include the dystopian novel 1984 and the satirical novella Animal Farm. He is consistently ranked among the best English writers of the 20th century, and his writing has had a huge, lasting influence on contemporary culture. Several of his coined words have since entered the English language, and the word "Orwellian" is now used to describe totalitarian or authoritarian social practices.

Review 3

I had fond memories of reading this book in grade school and after failing to acquire it in print form as it is banned now in many countries, including the USA, I enjoyed reading it digitally via Google books. Excellent in every way, with so many parallels to modern politics it is just scary.
