Life Alignment: Walking in Step with God

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: James, William N., PUBLISHER: Wasteland Press, Life on earth exists by the laws of nature. A few minutes under water can mean death to humans. A fish on land cannot survive for long. The law of gravity has taken the lives of many. The lack of common sense has meant the demise of some. Just as the tires of a car wear out too soon when the wheels are out of alignment, even so a life lived out of alignment with God's principles will face early burnout. We are created in the image of God. We must know what these principles are and not ignore them. Authentic Christianity is to know, understand and practice the principles that God has given to us in His Word; the Bible. This book is a careful look at nine of these principles Psalm "BLESSED IS EVERY ONE WHO FEARS THE LORD, WHO WALKS IN HIS WAYS."

Zero's Neighbour: Sam Beckett

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cixous, Helene / Milesi, Laurent, PUBLISHER: Polity Press, "Zero's Neighbour" is Helene Cixous's tribute to the minimalist genius of the artist in exile who courted nothingness in his writing like nobody else: Samuel Beckett. In this unabashedly personal odyssey through a sizeable range of his novels, plays and poems, Cixous celebrates Beckett's linguistic flair and the poignant, powerful thrust of his stylistic terseness, and passionately declares her love for his unrivalled expression of the meaningless 'precious little' of life, its unfathomable banality ending in chaos and death. Poised between a critical essay and a textual performance across two languages adapting Beckett's own literary vein, this book will appeal to scholars, critics and creative writers as well as students of the 'grey self-Sam'. Its allusive intertextual insights will also prove to be of critical relevance to readers of Dante and Proust, among other literary figures, as much as to those appreciative of Cixous's own inimitable genius for dissecting the quintessence of the life and works of a 'neighbourly' artist.
