Press Release - Farewell the Tithe! Welcome the Better Promise! by Mark McDonogh

Farewell the Tithe! Welcome the Better Promise has just been published by Just Done Productions Publishing.

The author, Mark McDonogh, has the following to say:

Many books have been written and thousands of sermons preached on the validity and necessity of “tithing” in many groupings and denominations of the Christian Church. Few words, in comparison, have been penned to explain why “tithing” should not be taught in its present form.

The aim of this study is do precisely that - to reveal that there are, indeed, better promises given to us from God and how we should go about the sharing of our resources.

This study has as its goal, to help release believers into dimensions of liberated giving that go beyond the tithe. Giving, that is free of compulsion; free of manipulation; giving performed without guilt or fear; giving, that can be more or less than the tithe, without anxiety that God is about to be robbed. Giving, that reflects the heart of God, as a faith response to His promises.

To achieve the end of discovering and understanding that there are better promises available to the Church than the doctrine of tithing, proof needs to be forthcoming that this is a fact. That proof has to come from the word of God. It is this word that remains the source of truth. It is therefore necessary to explain in detail why “tithing,” as is presently taught, is not the way that God desires us to respond. Because many arguments and absolute statements have been made about “Tithing” over the last few centuries of Church life, it is necessary that a study is made of these arguments and credible deductions made, so as to base our on-going spiritual walk on sound foundation. The necessity therefore exists, that the arguments in favour of tithing have to be analyzed and dismantled in order to pave the way for discovering the better promises available to all.

______________________________________________________________________

The subject explored in this book has always been controversial. But the writer here has given us a different view of our giving to God, which many have tried to regulate. Although we have been freed by grace there always seems to be a tendency to find a law to govern our Christian way of life. In doing this we find it difficult to surrender ourselves and our giving freely, in response to our God’s amazing grace.

Mark has explored and given us much to advance our thinking and doing, by expressing what he has prayerfully understood in the area of our giving. This subject has been with him for a long time, and he has done well for us to be given the opportunity of a different look at tithing and giving to our Lord.

This book will make you think, and might change your giving to our Lord in respect to His grace.

Rev. Brian Verwey

Press Release: A Reflection of my Past by Lindi Baird

Just Done Productions - Publishing would like to announce the publication of A Reflection of my Past - The life story of John Baird, the First Landdrost of Beaufort West 1796 – 1845.

The author, Lindi Baird has the following to say:

The name of the Scottish Bairds is woven into the early history of South Africa. The Baird surname has strong ties to the Battle of Blaauwberg, to the opening of the interior in the Great Karoo and personal ties with Lord Charles Somerset. Courage, arrogance, deep trusting friendships and mystery add enigma and spice to this family’s rich history in South Africa!

The Baird story involves a British nobleman who was hailed as one of Scotland’s finest soldiers. Another who was appointed as the Commandant of the Navy Intelligence in Simon’s Town and a cousin who became the First Landdrost in the interior region and a grandson, who might have been the first explorer to discover a ‘fossil’ in the Great Karoo.

For many years our hero’s history remained a myth in South Africa, with endless dead-ends and very little information to research. I, myself became an adventurer, an explorer who set sail to unravel the mysteries of his past.

This manuscript is a tribute to a wonderful man - my great grandfather, four generations ago - to the life of John Baird, a Baird forefather and the First Landdrost of Beaufort West. These pages will take you, the reader, back in time. His life at the Southern tip of Africa will be relived as you experience his adventures and travels during his 39 years stay in the Cape Colony.

John Baird was an honorable man, a man who saw the best in people.

This is his story.

A Reflection of my Past is available from Just Done at R130.

Press Release - INSIDE OUT

Inside-Out: South African Fashion Designers Sewing Success has been published by Just Done Productions – Publishing.

This book explores the relatively uncharted but growing fashion sector and the contribution of indigenous designers to South Africa’s clothing and textile sector.

 

The author investigates the experiences of and problems faced by local designers in producing garments with a uniquely home-grown signature, meeting consumer demand in terms of price and volume, and being competitive in the current context of the global and local market. Despite enormous challenges, numerous South African designers are achieving success in different ways and in so doing, have established viable business operations through perseverance and creativity in a highly competitive environment.

 

The research into this subject offers a comprehensive view and assessment of two large and important fashion events in South Africa – the Durban Fashion Week and the Durban Designer Collection. This study, along with the views expressed by the participant designers, articulates a profound need for more – rather than fewer - fashion events, and argues for greater collaboration and mobilisation around this area of enterprise. In so doing, the findings deepen the debate prevailing in the industry as to the significance of the role played by designers and the ways in which a broader spectrum of marketing platforms could strengthen the economic growth of this sector.

 

The author presents a tableau of an apparently fragmented realm of business, characterised by the tension between individuals’ ambition for status and the collective imperative for sustainable solutions, in an industry under threat from cheap imports and the obstacles posed by a globalised economy.   

 

Inside–Out is a valuable resource for academics, business practitioners, development specialists, marketing and media analysts and policy-makers with an interest in fashion design and the wider context of clothing and textile manufacture and beneficiation.

 

“The study is an interesting read, and the story Palmi tells resembles what many people and firms across the globe, today and in the past, have experienced. The China-link in my opinion is interesting.”

Professor Patrik Aspers, Stockholm University.

 

“An informative and an interesting read in terms of the current state that the industry is in.”

Gavin Rajah – South African Fashion Designer

 

Renato Palmi has a MA in Development Studies from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, diplomas in marketing and production management, and has many years’ experience in commerce and NGO work. He lectures on Fair Trade and ethical approaches for consumer consciousness within the context of the global and local clothing industries, as well as on fashion marketing and brand creation.

Press Release: The Lights of Freedom by George Stegmann

 

Just Done Productions would like to announce the publication of the book The Lights of Freedom by George Stegmann.

This is the true story of a South African Policeman who fought as a soldier during the Second World War.

It is a moving and simple account of an ordinary soldier’s experiences; how he survived capture in the Western Desert, spending time in a Prisoner of War camp at Benghazi in Lybia under the worst conditions imaginable and his escape to freedom, recapture and eventual escape to neutral Switzerland.

Along the way, we learn of his love of boxing, enjoyment of wine-making in Italy and his constant yearning for his family at home. During these experiences, he is sustained by the kindness of civilians and the camaraderie of his fellow soldiers.

The strength of the story lies in its simplicity.  A  young, ordinary South African who recorded the travails of war, especially as a prisoner,  that were not uncommon for men of his generation.

This book can be bought for R140 from Just Done Production's website at http://www.justdone.co.za/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/121 or for international customers from http://www.lulu.com/content/727004
