Who doesn’t enjoy sitting around the table feasting with friends we love, where all are on the same journey, loving and laughing together in this page-turner called life? Spiritual life is a reflection of this ideal. We hunger for community in the deepest part of who we are. Food brings people together and is often the catalyst for conversations that lead to friendships, open hearts, acceptance, and love. Food For The Table presents spiritual food to the body of Christ; all you need is an appetite and to come and dine! You are invited to eat, taste, and savour the dishes served up in the pages, and herein, you will find true love, true meaning, true life, and true food! Christ, our culinary delight!
God has given all His children, those who follow His Son, the full capacity to live out of the life of Jesus, who is the firstborn among MANY brethren! We are all Jesus’ brothers and sisters. Our life is unique to all other creations, all other humankind and even to angels. No other has this incredible Christ indwelling them. To the New Creation: Living Out Our New Identity is a clarion call to all who are in Christ. From unveiling the Perfect One, whose image we have been made to bear, through all the incredible truths that are ours, along with the very real obstacles and threats we face, this book leads the reader into much-needed fresh insight into the Christian’s identity. This book is not a light, fluffy read but is intended to remind the believer of the truth, to renew their strength, courage, and faith as they discover afresh or for the first time, who they really are because of who Christ is, and just what that means to God and to the world.
Why Do I Go to Church & Why Does the Church Exist Anyway? explores the profound and often misunderstood subject of the Church—not merely as an institution or Sunday tradition, but as a living, spiritual reality born from Jesus Christ Himself. It distinguishes between the visible, often flawed structures of organised religion and the real, true and heavenly Church—a Christ-centred community that transcends buildings, denominations, and centuries. It is a blend of biblical insight with a strong historical narrative, tracing the Church’s journey from its earliest beginnings through persecution, doctrinal shifts, the Middle Ages, and into the modern era. Along the way, it examines how powe...
To the Young Believer is written to new Christians, meeting them right at the commencement of their journey and will take them on a spiritual journey to the innermost part of who they are, where Jesus Christ now lives and dwells with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. In her first book, Donna Lee Batty writes in a personal and loving way, using vivid and colourful imagery to unveil insights uncommon to the current stream of Christian thought. Rather than starting the Christian life with good works, the author explores a higher way by enabling the reader to firstly know Jesus Christ deeply and intimately. Donna draws upon her personal experience and the help she has gleaned from many wonderf...
The rise of Creative Writing has been accompanied from the start by two questions: can it be taught, and should it be taught? This scepticism is sometimes shared even by those who teach it, who often find themselves split between two contradictory identities: the artistic and the academic. Against Creative Writing explores the difference between ‘writing’, which is what writers do, and Creative Writing, which is the instrumentalisation of what writers do. Beginning with the question of whether writing can or ought to be taught, it looks in turn at the justifications for BA, MA, and PhD courses, and concludes with the divided role of the writer who teaches. It argues in favour of Creative...
Evaluating the existing position of film as research, Filmmaking in Academia offers clear guidance and practical advice from the planning and conception of research films to the making, evaluation, dissemination and impact of practice-based research. This book aspires to serve as a guide for new and current researchers in screen-based media and creative practice. It seeks to explore the scope, definitions, methodologies, and interdisciplinary (and post-disciplinary) nature of film research projects. Author Agata Lulkowska focuses on how to manage potential challenges when artistic creativity meets research requirements, emphasising how finding the middle ground that serves both purposes often requires redesigning brand-new methodological approaches. Looking specifically at the publication routes for research films, the book highlights current dissemination practices and raises the question of impact throughout to re-contextualise current publication methodologies for practice-based projects. This exciting new work provides key reading for graduate students, academics, and filmmakers looking to move into academia.
The Impact of a PhD on Design Practice assesses the value and impact of design PhDs for design practitioners, exploring in detail and through perspectives from a range of international designers how a doctorate can develop research and critical thinking skills that will enhance their professional practice. The book develops the contribution of Laurene Vaughan's earlier work Practice-Based Design Research in furthering the global understanding of this dynamic and expanding area of design education. Whereas the earlier work provided a survey of key issues and developments in doctoral education in design globally, this book delves deeper by focusing on the experience of those who have undertake...
This book provides an overview of the growing field of screenwriting research and is essential reading for both those new to the field and established screenwriting scholars. It covers topics and concepts central to the study of screenwriting and the screenplay in relation to film, television, web series, animation, games and other interactive media, and includes a range of approaches, from theoretical perspectives to in-depth case studies. 44 scholars from around the globe demonstrate the range and depths of this new and expanding area of study. As the chapters of this Handbook demonstrate, shifting the focus from the finished film to the process of screenwriting and the text of the screenplay facilitates valuable new insights. This Handbook is the first of its kind, an indispensable compendium for both academics and practitioners.
