In his book Kicking Habits: Welcome Relief for Addicted Churches, Thomas Ba ndy provided the "big picture" of the five stages of congregational renewal and transformation. Similarly, in Growing Spiritual Redwoods, Bandy and Bi ll Easum provided new metaphors for change to help congregations break out of outmoded attitudes and assumptions, and they described the nature of spi ritual leadership necessary to grow spiritual giants that would change the face of the cultural forest. Yet there is another set of questions remaining to be answered, questions t hat pastors and church leaders frequently ask: "Where do we begin?" and "Ex actly how do we go about change?" The characteristics of change, and the st resses that lie behind them, seem complex and monumental. What are the firs t steps a congregation can take? Are there practical tools that have helped churches change? The purpose of Moving Off the Map: A Field Guide to Changing the Congregation is to answer these questions. Here are powerful processes and tools to help congregations identify their strengths, weaknesses, and addictions. These processes can help a congregation shift attitudes, deepen spiritual awareness, receive Biblical visions, and shape ministries for the future., Abingdon Press, 1999, 3, US: Atria, 2015.

Alan Light, former writer for Rolling Stone, editor-in-chief of Vibe and Sp in magazines, and author of The Holy or the Broken, "gets inside Prince's m ind palace in Let's Go Crazy-a history of the making of his historic, semi- autobiographical musical masterwork, Purple Rain" (Vanity Fair). Purple Rain is a song, an album, and a film-widely considered to be among t he most important albums in music history and often named the best soundtra ck of all time. It sold over a million copies in its first week of release in 1984 and blasted to #1 on the charts, where it would remain for a full s ix months and eventually sell over 20 million copies worldwide. It spun off three huge hit singles, won Grammys and an Oscar, and took Prince from pop star to legend-the first artist ever simultaneously to have the #1 album, single, and movie in the country. In Let's Go Crazy, acclaimed music journalist Alan Light takes a timely loo k at the making and incredible popularizing of this once seemingly impossib le project. With impeccable research and in-depth interviews with people wh o witnessed and participated in Prince's audacious vision becoming a realit y, Light reveals how a rising but not yet established artist from the Midwe st was able not only to get Purple Rain made, but deliver on his promise to conquer the world. "A must-read for the Prince die-hards who have remained devoted through the musical meanderings of the last three decades" (Kirkus Reviews), Let's Go Crazy examines how the masterpiec., Atria, 2015, 3, US: Verso, 1989.

From the synchronised camera/machine-guns on the biplanes of World War One to the laser satellites of Star Wars, the technologies of cinema and warfar e have developed a fatal interdependence. Hiroshima marked one conclusion o f this process in the nuclear 'flash' which penetrated the city's darkest r ecesses, etching the images of its victims on the walls. Since the disappearance of direct vision in battle and the replacement of o ne-to-one combat by the remote and murderous son et lumiere of trench warfa re, military strategy has been dominated by the struggle between visibility and invisibility, surveillance and camouflage. Perception and destruction have now become coterminous. Paul Virilio, one of the most radical French critics of contemporary cultur e, explores these conjunctions from a range of perspectives. He gives a det ailed technical jistory of weaponry, photography and cinematography, illumi nating it with accounts of films and military campaigns. He examines in par allel the ideas of strategists and directors, along with views on war and c inema of writers from Apollinaire to William Burrroughs. And he finds furth er fruitful sources of reflection in the history of cinema architecture or the wartime popularity of striptease and pin-up. The result is a rich and suggestive analysis for military 'ways of seeing', and a disturbing account of how these have now permeated our culture: 'Warsaw, Beirut, Belfast ... the streets themselves have become a permanent film-set for army c., Verso, 1989, 3, Coronet Books , 1976 .

The format reaches further back to 1935, when Allen Lane founded Penguin Books with a clear vision- 'We believed in the existence of a vast reading public for intelligent books at a low price, and staked everything on it.' Samoan-born Albert Wendt was working as a teacher in Samoa when he wrote the autobiographical Sons for the Return Home, first published half a decade ago in 1973. It is the story of a cross-racial romance between a Samoan student at Auckland University, the son of migrant parents, and the daughter of a wealthy palagi family.
