Book Synopsis Halfway Down an African Moon by : Michael McKeown
Download or read book Halfway Down an African Moon written by Michael McKeown and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Half Way Down an African Moon is a distillation of journeys made in sub Saharan Africa between 1972 and 2005. During these journeys, I came to know an older Africa, of ancient story-telling, wisdoms and simple courtesies living on unchanged beside the almost seismic political and social changes that marked the post-Independence era. It took me many years to realise this and with it the futility of trying to understand Africa through Western ideas and ideology. The views, for example, of a Lagos market woman fashioned by a cosmology of tribal deities and ancestral spirits are a world away from our own beliefs and creation myth - whatever the missionaries may think. One of the two aims of this book is to transmit something of all this, along with the good humour, tolerance and resilience of the people I encountered, to the reader. The second aim is to highlight the destruction of wildlife and its habitat that is transforming whole regions almost beyond recognition and pushing many species to the brink of extinction. How much some may ask, does all this matter? Will our world be any worse off if the mountain gorilla, the white ruffed lemur or the black rhino fade into extinction? I happen to believe it would and suspect that a great many people would feel so too. For the natural world is something that affects us all. Today, in Europe and the United States more people visit national parks and zoos than attend all kinds of sporting events in a single year. What is it then about wild animals and wild places that attract people in such numbers? The answer is that we are reminded, however tenuously, of something deep and ancient within ourselves and which we yearn to communicate with. Quite simply we need the wild which is why I believe this book is of relevance not only to readers who have visited Africa or plan to do so but for the millions of people increasingly concerned by the mounting destruction of all that is beautiful, wild and free.

Book Synopsis A Commentary on Genesis (Chapters 1-25) by : David Pawson
Download or read book A Commentary on Genesis (Chapters 1-25) written by David Pawson and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-01-23 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genesis is the beginning of the Bible but it has got the beginning of everything else in it. Here is the beginning of the universe; the beginning of history; the beginning of the human race; the beginning of marriage and family life; the beginning of government and civilisation; the beginning of the arts; the beginning of music; the beginning of sin and the beginning of death. The book of Genesis begins with the living God and it ends with a dead man, and the last words in this book are “in a coffin”. That, in a sense, sums up the message of the book. History began with the living God but it very soon became about a dead man, and the tragic story of Genesis tells us about that. You will never answer the biggest questions in life unless you can go back to the beginning. It provides the clue to such questions as: “Where did the world come from? Why am I here? What is life all about? Is there any purpose at all?” You have to go back to the beginning to find the answers. Therefore, the book of Genesis is a thrilling book; it gives you the answers to such questions.
