In writing this profoundly moving and illuminating account of Jesus Christ, his ministry and his death and Resurrection, David Lewis has drawn primarily on Mark, the earliest Gospel writer. He has endeavoured to fill in the chronological gaps in Jesus life, and in painting a portrait of him as a living, breathing, drinking sociable being, has relied on non-canonical scriptures and other sources, as well as his own vivid imagination.

Our initial meeting with Jesus places him in our minds as a man. Yet he was chosen by God, says the author, to demonstrate in practice what Gods eternal nature...

Based on interviews with people throughout Siberia, Central Asia and European Russia about their spiritual experiences, this book brings together insights into the 'religious' worldview of those who claim to be Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, pagan or even 'atheist'.

Revealing the distinctive organizational challenges faced by NGOs, this second edition provides a fully updated and revised text that will prove invaluable to all those studying or working in NGOs, the voluntary sector or development studies.

Enforcing Competition Rules in South Africa is a clear and insightful account of the establishment and first decade of one of the most successful competition law institutions to have mushroomed over the past 15 years.
