Download or read book Crimson Cross written by Eugene Bach and published by Fifth Estate. This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chinese House Church is one of the most misunderstood and controversial subjects in Christian world missions today. Despite there being a plethora of books on the subject, much confusion abounds. The Chinese government's deliberate spreading of misinformation on the underground House Church and ignorance in the West has contributed to this problem. Based on extensive interviews and firsthand accounts, this book is a unique attempt to end the confusion. Rather than focusing on the well-documented past, the focus is on what God is doing in China and through Chinese Christians today. The House Church's unique characteristics-both good and bad-will be addressed, as well as how those characteristics have been instrumental in the church's astonishing growth over the past few decades.
Download or read book Red Legacies in China written by Jie Li and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What has contemporary China inherited from its revolutionary past? How do the realities and memories, aesthetics and practices of the Mao era still reverberate in the post-Mao cultural landscape? The essays in this volume propose “red legacies” as a new critical framework from which to examine the profusion of cultural productions and afterlives of the communist revolution in order to understand China’s continuities and transformations from socialism to postsocialism. Organized into five parts—red foundations, red icons, red classics, red bodies, and red shadows—the book’s interdisciplinary contributions focus on visual and performing arts, literature and film, language and thought, architecture, museums, and memorials. Mediating at once unfulfilled ideals and unmourned ghosts across generations, red cultural legacies suggest both inheritance and debt, and can be mobilized to support as well as to critique the status quo.

Download or read book Roses Down Under written by Dawn Eagle and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rose is undoubtedly the most popular garden flower in the world. When settlers came from the Northern Hemisphere to Australia and New Zealand they brought their treasured roses with them. Roses Down Under follows the way roses may have been introduced into both countries where they not indigenous. In each country enthusiastic gardeners and Rosarians such as Alister Clark and Ron Bell in Australia and Ken Nobbs and Sam McGredy in New Zealand were inspired to develop their own varieties. There is a chapter dealing with the complexities of hybridisation, going through the process step by step, so the reader can follow in their footsteps. Various rose breeders from both countries, both professional and amateur, are listed, together with numerous photographs of their significant varieties. These illustrate the differences, as well as the similarities, of roses produced in Australia and New Zealand since the days of the first settlers. The Victoria State Rose Garden at Werribee, outside Melbourne, has been chosen to represent the large number of rose gardens in Australia, with many photographs illustrating the diverse collection of roses growing there. In New Zealand, the Trevor Griffiths Rose Garden in Timaru was chosen because of the comprehensive nature of roses planted in that very interesting garden. The final chapter asks where roses will be in the future. Will varieties produced in each country be similar, or very different? One thing is sure. They will always be, for gardeners, the Queen of Flowers.
