Mohlele is a master at probing the depths of human consciousness and in Revolutionaries’ House he asks: how do we hold a unified moral self?

Beholding: Deepening Our Experience in God Original price was: R299.00.R190.00Current price is: R190.00.
Move from a transactional experience with God to a transformational friendship with Him through prayer.
How can time with God be a source of peace in a loud and distracting world? In Beholding: Deepening Our Experience in God, spiritual director and poet Strahan Coleman invites readers to discover the joy of being with God, not just working for Him. As they inhabit the art of resting in God’s presence, prayer becomes not only a place of seeking but becoming.
Beholding calls Christians to understand how:
• Prayer is so much more than spoken conversation between us and God; it’s a way of existing together.
• Beholding God in prayer is profoundly connected to beholding and dignifying others.
• Embracing prayer practices from different Christian traditions digs a deep well of peace in the soul.
• Our everyday ordinary lives can become the meeting place for God through silence, solitude, community, creation, and hospitalityAuthor(s): Strahan Coleman

Something Old, Something New: A Sweet Contemporary Romance R160.00
Sometimes treasure can be found where you least expect it.
In the decade since high school graduation, Christine Sawyer has realized her dream of opening Treasure Hunting Antique Mall, the place where shoppers find gems that are new to them. Between her store, her house, and her role as a doting aunt, she’s happy with her life—if a bit lonely. But she’s used to being less lucky in love than her fraternal twin sister. Britney was always the popular one, the head cheerleader who dated the homecoming king and quarterback, while Christine stayed in the shadows.
Brent Nicholson is still trying to come to grips with the shambles his life has become. After leading his football team to a state championship, he suffered a career-ending injury. Now he’s lost his construction business thanks to his so-called best friend. So when his great-aunt Midge asks for his help readying her home to put it on the market, the opportunity to spend time with his biggest fan is a balm to his bruised soul.
But the antiques Brent finds in his aunt’s house lead him to an unexpected partnership with Christine. After being blind to her for so many years, is it too late for the former high school jock to win the heart of the self-proclaimed “nerdy twin”?
As they shift through items of the past, Christine and Brent learn to let go of the pieces they don’t want to bring into the future—and realize the value of what’s in front of them today.

The Fragile Mental Health of Strong Women R270.00
In Michelle Myeko Kekana’s exquisitely moving breakout novel, three thoroughly modern South African women find themselves brought to breaking point as they navigate the complexities of life, love and mental health.
On a moonless night, Hope, feeling desperate and trapped in her mother’s house after years of failed job searching, steps onto the highway, contemplating ending her life. Her failed attempt leads her to Bonga, a kindred spirit who helps her to rediscover her strength amidst the darkness of self-loathing. Meanwhile, Ayanga struggles with the harsh realities of motherhood, battling sleep deprivation and isolation while feeling disconnected from her newborn. As Ayanga’s husband Sizwe neglects his responsibilities, the weight of expectation drives her to a desperate act.
Zethu enters university with dreams and vaulting ambitions but when her roommate dies by suicide, her world spirals into chaos. Amidst the disarray a new relationship transforms her into a version of herself she no longer recognizes. Bound together by a psychiatrist, Hope, Ayanga and Zethu confront their demons in a deeply relatable book that touches on queer politics, childhood trauma, the stigma of depression and the burden of social media.
0With compelling prose and an unforgettable cast of streetwise characters, The Fragile Mental Health of Strong Women is a poignant gift to those journeying toward self-acceptance. Black women have been labelled strong; their tears seen as indulgent, their suffering expected to have an imminent expiration date. Don’t believe that label.
