Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2013The 1989 Revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe
From Communism to Pluralism
by Kevin McDermott, Matthew Stibbe
This important book reassesses a defining historical, political and ideological moment in contemporary history: the 1989 revolutions in central and eastern Europe. Adopting a multi-disciplinary approach, the authors reconsider such crucial themes as the broader historical significance of the 1989 events, the complex interaction between external and internal factors in the origins and outcomes of the revolutions, the impact of the 'Gorbachev phenomenon', the West and the end of the Cold War, the political and socio-economic determinants of the revolutionary processes in Poland, Hungary, the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, Romania and Bulgaria, and the competing academic, cultural and ideological perceptions of the year 1989 as communism gave way to post-communist pluralism in the 1990s and beyond. Concluding that the contentious term 'revolution' is indeed apt for the momentous developments in eastern Europe in 1989, this book will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and specialists alike. ;

by Mark Stibbe
Mark Stibbe reminds us that we have a loving, generous Fatherwho delights to give his children gifts, especially the gifts of theHoly Spirit. Mark describes each of the spiritual gifts mentionedin the New Testament and provides tools for the reader to identify which gifts they have. He also urges the contemporary church not to dial down on the spiritual gifts but to create a culture where all the gifts are eagerwelcomed and responsiblystewarded.This book is a vital rallying cry for a return to genuine, charismatic Christianity at a time when so many Christians and indeed churches have lost their passion for the presence of God and for the supernatural evidences of God's presence in worship and mission.

FictionOctober 2014Dark the Night Descending
by Jennifer Bresnick
Arran Swinn knows a thing or two about nightmares. After all, they killed his father. When the sun goes down, the Siheldi come out, and surviving the onslaught until daybreak can be little more than a gamble without the right protection. Thanks to a dash of luck, a little daring, and an heirloom from his father, Arran can provide protection these days – for the right fee. Guiding seagoing merchants along the haunted trade routes is easy money…right up until he takes on a secretive passenger who proves to be almost as bad as the Siheldi themselves. With the daylight fading and the ocean rising, Arran finds himself saddled with an illegal cargo, a bargain for his soul that he can’t hope to keep, and the unwelcome scrutiny of Megrithe Prinsthorpe, a tenacious trade inspector intent on seeing him hang for his misdeeds. After uncovering a plot that could replace the Siheldi with something much worse, Arran must decide just how much he’s willing to sacrifice to the spirits that have had him marked out since the night his father’s death changed his life forever. DARK THE NIGHT DESCENDING is the first volume of The Paderborn Chronicles.

FantasyAugust 2015Dark the Dreamer's Shadow
by Jennifer Bresnick
Arran Swinn is dreaming, balanced on the edge of death in the darkness deep under the earth, where the Siheldi make their home. With nothing but a whisper to guide her, Megrithe Prinsthorpe is the only one who can bring his nightmare to an end. Drawn back to the island of Niheba with new allies and a burning secret, she must once again follow Arran's fading trail before his enemies reach him first. The Guild of Miners has no power in the neneckt homeland, and King Tiaraku isn't the only one who knows it. As the people of Paderborn go about their lives in ignorance, a sinister cult rises to seize power from the embattled king of the sea. Shadowed by the memories of a terror she should never have survived, Megrithe must find a way into the lair of the Siheldi Queen before Arran's fate - and the future of Niheba - are sealed by a shocking treachery. Dark the Dreamer's Shadow is the second book of the Paderborn Chronicles.
