On Being Authentic
'To thine own self be true.' From Polonius's words in Hamlet right up to Oprah, we are constantly urged to look within.Why is being authentic the ultimate aim in life for so many people, and why does it mean looking inside rather than out?Is it about finding the 'real' me, or something greater than me, even God? And should we welcome what we find?Thought-provoking and with an astonishing range of references, On Being Authentic is a gripping journey into the self that begins with Socrates and Augustine.Charles Guignon asks why being authentic ceased to mean being part of some bigger, cosmic picture and with Rousseau, Wordsworth and the Romantic movement, took the strong inward turn alive in today's self-help culture.He also plumbs the darker depths of authenticity, with the help of Freud, Joseph Conrad and Alice Miller and reflects on the future of being authentic in a postmodern, global age.He argues ultimately that if we are to rescue the ideal of being authentic, we have to see ourselves as fundamentally social creatures, embedded in relationships and communities, and that being authentic is not about what is owed to me but how I depend on others.

From Being to Being
Characterized by genius wordplay, Oh Eun’s poems play with homophones and homonyms while keeping the wit, criticalness, and beauty we associate with Korean poetryIn their sonic play, Oh Eun's poems bounce dangerously on a tightrope of language.These are poems that in their content and form simultaneously expand the boundaries of language and delight, and in their subject matter engage with both a desire for a shared humanity while offering a biting criticism of Korean society.A controversial poet, he has received a number of the Korean literary world's biggest prizes, including the Daesan Literary Award, but also has faced criticism for his daring individuality.Brilliantly translated into a limber and tactile English by Shyun Ahn, co-translator of Kim Hyun's Glory Hole, English readers will finally have the opportunity to see why Oh Eun's style and tone set him in a school of his own.

Being Human : A new lens for our cultural conversations
'Being Human masterfully reorientates us towards the only story that ultimately makes sense of who we are ...A remarkably timely book' Justin Brierley'Practical, prayerful and ambitious.A Gospel-infused, wide-angle lens on contemporary society.'Jill Duff, Anglican Bishop of Lancaster'A valuable toolkit for church leaders, to help them build confidence in their members, to share the story of Jesus and his kingdom.'Les Isaac OBE, President, Ascension Trust'A great book about one of the most important but confusing questions of our time.'Professor Iain Provan, author of Cuckoos in our Nest: Truth and Lies about Being HumanWho am I?Does my life matter? What will make me happy?In different ways and at different moments we all ask life's big questions about what it means to be human.But in our fast-paced, rapidly changing and often exhausting society, our cultural stories struggle to provide us with good answers.Whether on issues of gender identity or AI, climate change or racial injustice, our individual solutions to life's big challenges can often end in deep division and broken relationships. But there is another way. Being Human offers a new lens - a new way to engage with our cultural conversations using four key aspects of humanity: significance, connection, presence and participation.Digging into the foundations of our cultural stories, authors Jo Frost and Peter Lynas expose the cracks in our culture's understanding of what it means to be human.By contrasting our cultural narratives with the story of the Bible, we can see how cultural truths have been fractured and isolated from the fullness and richness of who God is and who God created us to be, and come to recognise that only in Jesus can we live truly fully human lives. Being Human is a refreshingly clear and engaging guide for everyone who wants to live out and share the good, true and beautiful biblical vision of what it is to be human. Peter and Jo co-lead the Being Human project, an initiative from the Evangelical Alliance, helping everyday Christians live out and share the biblical vision of what it means to be human.

Vivien Liu: Being There : Being There
“Architects are trained to see a space before it’s realised, so I think photography helps me with that.But I’d also say it’s the other way around. My training helps me with the way I photograph. I look at space with a more symmetrical eye, and you see a lot of symmetry in my photos.” ~ Vivien LiuVivien Liu studied architecture at the University of Waterloo and then attended Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, where she was awarded the prestigious Clifford Wong Prize in Housing Design.As an architect, she has worked for nearly a decade in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, China and Hong Kong, where she now resides and first took up photography.As a photographer, she quickly developed a strong sensibility portraying space as seen through the first person, which now defines her style.What began as a weekend pastime has transformed Vivien into one of the most prolific urban photographers in Hong Kong, attracting over 240,000 followers on Instagram. Her first book, Being There explores the dialogue and tension between people and spaces through portraiture, landscapes, and street photography, from the urban density of Hong Kong and Tokyo to epic natural landscapes like Zhangjajie, China.With an architect’s artful eye, Ms. Liu captures this juxtaposition in the most beautiful way, sharply highlighting her eye for patterns and symmetry across settings.
