"All Christians experience heartbreak, hurt, and grief. Saddened by loss, we sometimes feel paralyzed and uncertain of how to move forward. This booklet is for people left with the gaping wound of grief, those dangling helplessly in sadness, wanting to move forward but lacking the resources to do so. The author reveals eight gifts of God for people wandering in the wilderness of anguish-presence, conversation, faith, hope, love, forgiveness, community, and purpose. He offers practical blessings from the Savior that bring freedom from crushing captivity and provide footholds out of the pit of despair"--

What should be done after the end of a repressive regime or a civil war? How can bitter divisions be resolved in a way that combines reconciliation with accountability? In this book, Michael Newman accessibly introduces these debates, outlining the key ideas and giving an overview of the vast literature by reference to case studies in such places as South Africa, Cambodia and Sierra Leone. While recognising that every situation is different, he argues that is vital to contend fully with the past and address the fundamental causes of mass human rights abuses. A readable overview for those coming to the subject of transitional justice for the first time, and food for thought for those already familiar with it, this book is invaluable in areas ranging from politics and international relations to peace and conflict studies, law, human rights and philosophy.
Set against the glamorous backdrop of Cannes during the summer festival, an ex-soldier named Andy Carrick investigates the murder of a prominent advertising guru. As he delves into the case, he grapples with his own troubled past, including memories of Afghanistan and personal losses. The murder may be tied to a crime of passion, business rivalry, or an art forgery scheme, leading Carrick into a web of deception involving the French police and local gangsters. The narrative combines vivid characters and sharp wit with an intense psychological struggle.
Spanning 60 years, this publication surveys the art, editing and curating activities of London-based, Pakistani-born artist Rasheed Araeen (born 1935) for the first time, presenting an expansive artistic practice that has had a profound influence on generations of artists, writers and thinkers. Whether as a pioneer of Minimalist sculpture, a publisher of magazines at the forefront of postcolonial thinking like Third Text (founded 1987) or as an abstract painter drawing inspiration from the art of the Abbasid period, Araeen has consistently sought to realign the understanding of Modernism imposed by the hegemonic discourses of the West. Bringing together newly commissioned essays by leading art critics and historians, documentation from the artist's archive as well as an extensive survey of Araeen's work, this publication offers the opportunity--long overdue--to assess Araeen's impact as an artist and thinker.
