The Annihilation of Nature


Book Description

Environmental scientists reveal the victims of humanity’s massive assault on nature. Gerardo Ceballos, Anne H. Ehrlich, and Paul R. Ehrlich serve as witnesses in this trial of human neglect, where the charge is the massive and escalating assault on living things. Nature is being annihilated, not only because of the human population explosion, but also as a result of massive commercial endeavors and public apathy. Despite the well-intentioned work of conservation organizations and governments, the authors warn us that not enough is being done and time is short for the most vulnerable of the world's wild birds and mammals. Thousands of populations have already disappeared, other populations are dwindling daily, and soon our descendants may live in a world containing but a minuscule fraction of the birds and mammals we know today. The Annihilation of Nature is a clarion call for engagement and action. These outspoken scientists urge everyone who cares about nature to become personally connected to the victims of our inadequate conservation efforts and demand that restoration replace destruction. Only then will we have any hope of preventing the worst-case scenario of the sixth mass extinction.




Born to Win


Book Description

After Louis Brittz and his family became the victims of an armed robbery, abduction, death threats and rape, they experienced how, in Louis’s words, ‘By God’s grace we could walk out of that experience without any harm to our soul and spirit.’ They have experienced immediate wholeness and healing and people thought that they were either lying or possessed some kind of superpower. But Louis has realised that God had been teaching them for years to live according to certain principles. This, together with God’s presence, enabled them to deal with what had happened in such a remarkable way. Out of this experience Born to Win was born. We are born to win and everyone – from the most ordinary person to the super talented – can be a winner. It has been written into our DNA by God Himself. This book is not an action plan. It is an invitation to bring spesific areas of your life before God and ask Him to change you. Neither is it a book that tries to deal with every little issue that could possibly improve your quality of life. It will not tell you what music to listen to, where to spend your holiday or how drinking green tea will aid digestion. Louis focusses on matters that he believes are essential for living in victory. It is a journey through God’s resources to change his children into winners. Louis discusses topics such as: • Winners have lost everything • Winners are able to forget • Winners know who they are • Winners ask the hard questions • Winners can master their thoughts • Winners are baggage free Born to Win offers you a blueprint of the things that differ in the life of a winner from that of someone else, and will enable you to be more than a conqueror in all circumstances.
