The Billy Graham
An updated account of the inspiring and influential life of Dr. Billy Graham When the hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, President Bush immediately proclaimed a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance. For the interfaith, interdenominational service at the Washington National Cathedral he chose Billy Graham to give the address. At that terrible hour no other clergyman, whatever his office, could so aptly bring the Word of God to America?and a watching world. At eighty-four, Billy Graham remains one of the most respected people in the world today. He has addressed over eighty-two million people face to face and at least one billion people through television, radio, and satellite. Yet he is far more than an evangelist of integrity and vision; he is a Christian statesman whose profound influence on the growth and depth of Christianity across the world cannot be overestimated. This official biography of Dr. Graham is based on his private files, correspondence, and interviews, as well as the author?s widespread research. ? Written by John Pollock, Dr. Graham?s official biographer.

Harmattan haze on an african spring
Africa -Concept or reality- is an acknowledged continent of extremes and,by the same token,it is hardly surprising that it draws extreme reactions…The increasingly accepted common ground,both for the negativists and optimists,is the admission that the African continent does not exist in isolation,nor has it stood still in a time warp,independent of history. For Many,Africa is more a concept than a bounded space- which means in turn:more concepts than simply one.It is at once part wish-fulfillment and part reality,part projection and part historical distillation,part fiction and part memory.It is of course,generally acknowledged as a warehouse of yet untapped natural resources.Even as Africa exists as a desire for some,so does it constitute a nightmare from which others pray to be awakened…

The Man Lives
The moment Soyinka accepted to sit down to a conversation; I recognised that it would be a waste and a shame to limit our exchanges to a single, narrow aspect of his life and work … Here was an opportunity that called for a broader consideration of his work – as an artist, intellectual and redoubtable advocate for human rights and justice. I had to seize it… His voice evinced no trace of fatigue. He answered my questions in a focused, attuned manner, his responses marked by characteristic candour and occasional acerbity…We revisited Biafra. We discussed the intersections between art and politics.

The Sun Does Shine
In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only twenty-nine years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free.
But with no money and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in agonizing silence―full of despair and anger toward all those who had sent an innocent man to his death. But as Hinton realized and accepted his fate, he resolved not only to survive, but find a way to live on Death Row. For the next twenty-seven years he was a beacon―transforming not only his own spirit, but those of his fellow inmates, fifty-four of whom were executed mere feet from his cell. With the help of civil rights attorney and bestselling author of Just Mercy, Bryan Stevenson, Hinton won his release in 2015.

With one difference: she remembered her brush with madness with exquisite clarity.
