Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A gripping, poetic, vivid and deeply entertaining memoir.' – Niq Mhlongo, author 'The courage of conviction Mashaba displays is something to behold.' – Vuyo Mvoko, journalist They say a mirror never lies. If that's the truth, then my reflection was of a broken man. When Tumiso Mashaba's father, Neo 'Snowy' Mashaba, dies at 55, it provokes in him an intense emotional reaction. Tumiso is stunned by his response, as his father was a distant and often hard man. In the aftermath, he reflects on what this means to him now as a husband and father to his own children. Will he repeat the sins of his father? Recounting his childhood, the author digs deep into his psychology, providing a deeply satisfying read with moments of intense anguish and catharsis. A Father is Born is about intangible scars – inflicted by those closest to us – that we carry from childhood into the rest of our lives and the relationships we form along the way. Covering themes of fatherhood, masculinity, generational trauma, abuse and mental health, A Father is Born unveils a heartrending portrait of a family trying to survive against the backdrop of a gritty, modern South Africa.

Book excerpt: "Klaits' work is not only a major contribution to the anthropology of religion and the social scientific literature on AIDS, but also a significant intervention into debates on how Africanists should approach their understandings of sociality and relatedness."--Matthew Engelke, author of A Problem of Presence: Beyond Scripture in an African Church "The reader gets the sense of being a welcome party to a close conversation. Klaits sustains a direct, clear, humane, and jargon-free voice, and we come away with a radically challenged understanding of what it means in an African church to be 'born anew'."--Richard Werbner, author of Tears of the Dead: The Social Biography of an African Family

Book excerpt: Who's to Blame? is an autobiography focusing on the author's life, his misfortunes, his quest to seek and make sense of those misfortunes, and who caused them: God, Satan, or himself? Resolutions are found once man accounts and takes responsibility for his faults, understanding Satan's role and God's permissible will in all that happened. This book challenges Christians to focus on grace, mercy, and faithfulness of God, have fellowship with him, account for their sins, know Satan's tactics, and understand God's discipline and blessing. He further encourages believers to study God's word on a daily basis in order to know the will of God, grow spiritually, and know how to recover when backsliding. The book wishes unbelievers to come to Christ and accept him as their only hope and savior.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This enlightening edited collection shows how migration shapes the lives of faith communities - and vice versa - through diverse prisms including diaspora, generational change, cultural conflict, conceptions of 'ministry' and artistic response. The contributors comprise writers, poets and artists from the three largest Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) and beyond. They show how issues of migration are addressed through a variety of different media such as theological debate and shared community action, poetry and art. As issues of migration are an important factor in so many political and social debates, faith communities are looking for guidance on how to deepen their theological understanding of migration. This book helps them to reflect on their own practices and experiences, learn from their own traditions and engage in dialogue with diverse communities. *All royalties from book sales will be donated to The Helen Bamber Foundation - a UK-based charity that supports people who have survived extreme physical, sexual and psychological violence.*
