"I must have stood in front of the closed door for half an eternity. My sense of time disappeared when the door closed. It was dark. Black. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I spotted a faint beam of light - a hole in the wall, was that supposed to be a window?"Gloria lives in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. There she manages the "Tatenda" house, where women in difficult situations find refuge, help and support. Things go on as usual until one day, through a chain of strange events, she is drawn deep into the Zimbabwean jungle of regulations and corruption. At the mercy of state power and inscrutable procedures, she faces the challenges, but how does one go on when obstacles are repeatedly placed in one's path whose meaning one does not see?Sarudza means 'make up your mind'. And that is often not easy. But why do we so rarely follow our heart or common sense?A thrilling, lively story about realising that the wealth of Zimbabwe lies not in its mineral resources or wonderful nature, but in the people who inhabit it, about knowing that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, and about how everything then makes sense after all. If you choose to recognise it.

"Hvis det bliver mørkt, svøber jeg mig i et stykke af himlen. Stjernerne kilder som sodavandsprikker over hele kroppen."En pige og en morfar ser på skyer og blomster og fugle. Mormor snakker med fra foderbrættet foran køkkenvinduet eller fra en sky på himlen. Så vinker pigen og morfaren og trutter i deres trompeter, til morfars kinder er ved at eksplodere.Hvis det bliver mørkt er en livspoetisk bog om rødder og vinger, om før og nu, og om barnets blik på at blive gammel og skulle dø. Velegnet til oplæsning og som udgangspunkt for samtaler mellem generationer – om generationer.Bogen er skabt i tæt samarbejde mellem Inge Duelund Nielsen, som – med egne ord – er "lidt gammel", og som har arbejdet med værket gennem en periode, hvor hun mistede sin sidste forælder og selv blev bedstemor; og illustrator Simon Væth, der er ung og nybagt far ... og det er tydeligt i værket, at de begge er optaget af liv og død, fortid og fremtid.

A New Sword for My Bride was birthed over several years of journaling, writing poetry, prayers to Father God and a life struggling to be completely free in Christ. The opening prayer with the names of God became a catalyst for each chapter which then discuss an obstacle that keeps many Christians from fully being embraced by their Abba Father. Overcoming obstacles in one life's journey has taught lessons to the author that will help others. The matching poetry in each chapter were written during that same season and the Scripture Bible lessons affirm that learning. Take a journey through some obstacles that may be holding you back from truly living your destiny in the Kingdom of God and embrace Biblical teaching on the way. Judy's prayer is that those who take this journey of faith, as she shares her own journey, will come to realize that they are chosen (John 15:16), precious & anointed (2 Cor. 6:18), redeemed for another Kingdom and don't need to fit in here (Gal. 1:10). She prays that her readers would come to realize that it is never too late (Joel 2:12), that our King directs us (Isa. 48:17), we can gain an eternal perspective (2 Cor. 4:18), that we can listen to our King (John 10:27), we can pray with mountain moving power (John 14:13-14), can triumph through trials (James 1:3-4), and are forgiven forever (Psalm 86:5). Judith Loeper is a compassionate poet, writer and communicator of the Word of God. She has been married to her husband Terry for 43 years and has two grown children. Her passion is to influence others to truly encounter freedom in Christ. Judy graduated from Clarion University, located in Clarion, Pennsylvania in 1976 with a Bachelor's degree in Special Education.

Midlife is not a crisis. It's the sweet spot. For far too long, men have been told that midlife is when we start to die. But it's actually the first time that most of us really begin to figure life out. Four years ago, this realization led performance coach Greg Scheinman to create a no-BS community in which men who have been around long enough to own their mistakes and celebrate their successes could gather to maximize the second half of their lives. Since its creation, the Midlife Male Movement has gone on to change thousands of lives through inspiring weekly newsletters and insightful podcast conversations with top CEOs, athletes, chefs, authors, and other high performers. The Midlife Male philosophy is centered on the six Fs: - Family - Fitness - Finance - Food - Fashion - Fun A Midlife Male strives for purpose and joy, takes action, asks questions, accepts responsibility, embraces curiosity, and leaves a legacy his loved ones can proudly inherit. He's not going through the motions and bitching about the wrongs of the world. Simply not being a dick is a low bar to clear. You can do better than that. Written with humor and vulnerability, The Midlife Male provides a must-read guide for men to boost confidence, accountability, and creativity that strips away notions of traditional manhood--whatever that even means. It's a call to open up to being your best and authentic self . . . and have a helluva lot of fun in the process.

"In this vulnerable, honest, beautiful memoir, award-winning writer Charles Foran offers a brief and powerful meditation on fathers and sons, love and loss, even as his own father approaches the end of life. Dave Foran was a formidable man of few words, seemingly from a different era than his sensitive, literary son, Charlie. Among other adventures, Dave had lived in the bush, been snow-blinded, hauled a dead body across a frozen lake on a dog sled, dodged a bullet during a bar fight, and gone toe to toe with a bear. Aspects of his life were like tall tales while others were more somber and enigmatic: A decent father to Charlie and his siblings, and a devoted husband to Charlie's mother, Dave was a tough, emotionally distant man, prone to gruff cynicism and a changeable mood. As Charlie writes: "He struggled most days of his life with wounds he could not readily identify, let alone heal . . . Not only did my father never get over what had happened to him as a boy, he didn't try. Men usually didn't try back then. And we just had to deal." When Charlie turned 55, his father began a slow and, as it turned out, final decline. And Charlie felt something he'd never imagined before: a mysterious desire to write about his relationship with his father. On the surface, the motivation was to help lift an inchoate burden from his father's shoulders, to reassure him that he was loved. But there was also another, more personal motivation. "Late into the middle of my own lifespan," Charlie writes, "sadness took hold of my being . . . I wanted to say so frankly, never mind how glib it sounded, how uncomfortable it made me." In spare, haunting prose, Just Once pulls on these threads--unravelling a fascinating personal story but also revealing its universal context (suggested by the title "Just Once, No More," a quote from a poem by Rilke that applies to all of our brief lives). With its skillful prose, humour, affecting intimacy, and love of life even in the shadow of death and uncertainty, this short but very full book presents a nuanced, moving portrait of a fond but distant father grappling with the end of life as his son acts as witness, solace, and would-be guide while shakily facing his own decline. What story can we tell ourselves and those we love, this memoir asks, to withstand the insecurities of self and the inexorable passage of time?"--
