I was beginning to feel it would be best not to settle down in areas recognisably Parisian, because places recognisably themselves tend to be fictitious.A writer is invited to Paris and finds himself living in an area that bears little resemblance to his idea of the city. With the passing of time, his disquiet translates into a way of seeking and experiencing a truer, more unlikely Paris. Chateau Rouge takes up residence in that area before floating freely through the city. It takes its time, exploring tangents, diversions, side-streets, creeping into new spaces and remote angles, to open up fresh ground and appraise the city, the experience of travel, otherness - and the novel itself - anew.

Global Voices on Global Mission Global mission has moved into a new era when it is no longer just "from the West to the rest" but rather "from everywhere to everywhere." But too often mission workers have not partnered wellwith local communities, hurting Christian witness and ministry efforts. And as the global church sends more and more missionaries, how can we learn from the past, develop new ways of partnering, and avoid repeating these same mistakes? The book of Acts provides a role model.Many people go into global missions to be like Paul, the pioneer taking the gospel to places where people have never heard. But in an era of mission when the church is truly global, Paul's companion Barnabas is an exceptional model of mission service.In this multifaceted volume, mission practitioners from around the world unpack the life and ministry of Barnabas. Contributors from Zambia, Bosnia, Australia, India, Ghana, New Zealand, Latin America, andthe United States provide diverse experiences, global viewpoints, and best practices for effective mission partnerships that embrace humility, generosity, and mutuality.In Barnabas's example we find answers for some of the most pressing questions in global mission partnership today: How should we share financial resources with generosity and trustworthiness?How do we advocate for, encourage, partner with, and empower mission partners across culturaland experiential differences?How can our mission partnerships develop as genuine communities of mutuality and visibility for all people involved?How do we wisely face sending, suffering, and division as we partner globally?Barnabas entered sensitive crosscultural situations and could help without hurting. He taught, developed, and trained others while also encouraging and releasing leaders. He modeled mission partnership that is generous, trustworthy, mutual, and empowering. In today's new era of global mission, we need more people like Barnabas. Discover how The Barnabas Factor offers a fresh approach to global collaboration that fosters healthier and more effective crosscultural mission partnerships.About the Contributors This volume brings together a diverse group of mission practitioners and leaders from around the world.

Ladislao Leiva, Kate Pocklington, and Madan and Deepali Valvi.

Language is the labyrinth were enmeshed in, and any line of exploration we think is leading us out only adds a further strand to the entanglement.Rope presents an alluring and provocative array of insights as it follows a mind on the move, ever curious and restlessly making connections.Nuggets of wisdom, snippets of anecdote and choice quotations are collected here, signposted by suggestive shoulder notes. Together they form a kind of contemporary commonplace book, accumulating with associative loops and echoes.Across three prose sections, Maurice Riordan knots together strands including scientific inquiry, colour theory and AI, philosophy, ethics and psychoanalysis. There are instructive revelations about the art of poetry, about all literature - whether the folly of literary ambition or the sinuous garland of plagiarism - gleaned from a lifetime of reading and writing. The middle section delves into the authors personal history, evoking a childhood in rural Cork - I was born into a horse-drawn candlelit world - and a new self forged in fatherhood.Riordan is an intimate and jocular narrator throughout, calling upon everyone from Shakespeare to Schrodinger, Sappho to Siri in the shaping of these piquant and unforgettable discoveries.

Born into imperial splendour, Louis-Napoléon - the nephew of Napoléon Bonaparte - grew up far from power after the defeat at Waterloo. In exile, he repeatedly plotted, unsuccessfully, to restore his uncles empire. Few took him seriously.But what followed is one of the most astonishing, impossible stories in history. Aged 40, Louis-Napoleon would be elected president of France. Three years later, he seized power to become emperor.Napoleon IIIs story is one of self-belief, political skill and radical innovation - the first person to master mass democratic politics and populism. Yet, despite being one of the most important trailblazers of the nineteenth century, he is largely misunderstood today, if not totally forgotten.His strange rise and catastrophic fall is a story of both tragedy and farce, set during some of Frances most tumultuous decades.

"[This book] is a treasure. The first time I read it, I remember closing the final page and thinking to myself, I wish I could make every single Christian on earth read this book. John Chrysostom, Evagrius the Solitary, Julian of Norwich, Martin Luther, Dorothy Day, Dietrich Bonhoefferthese saints and sages live on in me. And they can live on in you, too. They can enlarge and enrich your faith, one page at a time." John Mark Comer, from the afterword Ancient Faith for Modern Souls In AD 165, two men named Carpus and Papylus stood before the proconsul of Pergamum, charged with the crime of being Christians. Not even torture could make them deny Christ, so they were burned alive.Is my faithfulness as strong?In the fifth century, Melania the Younger and her husband, Pinian, distributed their enormous wealth to the poor and intentionally practiced the discipline of renunciation. Could living more simply deepen my trust in God? In the seventeenth century, Philipp Jakob Speners love for the Word of God and his desire to help people apply the Bible to their daily life moved him to start "Colleges of Piety," or small groups. In what ways could commitment to community make me more like Christ? The history of Christianity has produced models of spiritual life, some very different from our own, that can enrich and enlarge our spiritual lives. These saints believed in the same God, followed the same Christ, read the same Bible, and walked in the same Spirit. And they lived wholeheartedly for God, like Perpetua, an early Christian martyr; Francis of Assisi, a medieval visionary; Philipp Jakob Spener, the founder of fifteenth-century small groups; and Dorothy Day, a servant of the poor. In Water from a Deep Well, Gerald Sittser opens to us the rich history of spirituality, helping us learn from the practices and storiesof believers from the past who thirsted for God. These vibrant narratives reveal deep, powerful faith and demonstrate how old ways can bring new life to our spirituality today. These histories are deep waters from which we can drink to become faithful followers of Jesus, like those who came before us. In this revised edition, youll find history, insights, and practical exercises for incorporating spiritual practices into your life; a new chapter and updates throughout the book; and a new afterword from John Mark Comer. Discover the richness of ancient faith practices and renew your spiritual life with Water from a Deep Well. Whether youre discovering spiritual practices for the first time or seeking to deepen your journey with Christ, this book provides timeless guidance for spiritual growth, drawn from the wisdom of those who have walked the path before you.
