This book is fiction, a story about finding that we are important parts and members of the universe; our existence is not transient but infinite, and we are not worthless but precious. Through the love stories and characters' philosophical and psychological dialogues, the book also discusses human subconsciousness's duplicity — the constructive and destructive nature. Nietzsche described this duplicity as Dionysian and Apollonian in his Birth of Tragedy. Our destructive emotion, the dark side of human beings, is not a sin but a constant effort to find light in the darkness within us. It is an impetus for finding our renewal self, creative power, within us, since creation is a progression from destruction — just like nature repeats the destruction and birth process in the fall and spring.

So I told myself: 'What I thought was beautiful at first is always beautiful, even if it later turns old and ugly.'"PAUL: "The 'forbidden fruit' in Genesis is a symbolic expression of our conscience and the existence of the duality in our heart, good and evil."HEMINGWAY: "I wanted to find out where the original power of flower blossoming came from that no one can imitate."JESUS: "The Kingdom of God comes to us in happiness when we take care of ourselves, patiently understand and love one another faithfully.
Mission is contrived from and performed over lived contexts, but the visions that guide and drive mission are oftentimes blinded by power, position, protection, and plenitude. This collection visits those matters with queering attention to the shadows that empires cast over the contexts of mission, and to the collusion and complicity of Christians and churches with empires past (as in the case of Rome) and present (as in the case of the United States of America). In the interests of those in mission fields who survived, but continue to agonize under the burdens of empires, the contributors to this work dare to re-vision the course and cause of mission. Writing from minoritized settings in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania, the authors interweave the principles and practices of mission with the opportunities in decolonial theology and hermeneutics, minoritized and migrant Christologies, repatriation and the courage to get up and get out, indigenous insights and wisdom, mission archives, stories of resistance and endurance in zones of contact and violence, restless souls and returning spirits, and life-centered spiritual (en)countering. In Mission and Context as with previous volumes in this series—empires do not have the final word, nor are they the final world.

I was still standing in the ocean in the midst of the moonlight. In a far distance, I dimly saw layers of long white waves rushing toward me. The white waves looked like a march of cavalry soldiers dressed in white uniforms marching toward the enemy. In my mind, I ran out to the cavalry soldiers and joined them on the back row as a rookie. The general commanding the cavalry on the front line gave an order. “The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So, let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” [Roman 13:12] The General, on a white horse, led the cavalry soldiers, piercing through the arrows, toward the enemy line, shouting vigorously. “To victory!” Following the general, I shout out aloud along with other soldiers. “To victory!” And impetuously I recited the Bible verses that came into my mind. “I saw Heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice He judges and wages war.” [Revelation 19:11] The new soldiers continued to join, and the General with the white horse stood still, crying. “To victory!” “To victory!”

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this convenient volume provides comprehensive analysis of the legislation and rules that determine civil procedure and practice in Singapore. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the book’s clear explanation of distinct terminology and application of rules. The structure follows the classical chapters of a handbook on civil procedure: beginning with the judicial organization of the courts, jurisdiction issues, a discussion of the various actions and claims, and then moving to a review of the proceedings as such. These general chapters are followed by a discussion of the incidents during proceedings, the legal aid and legal costs, and the regulation of evidence. There are chapters on seizure for security and enforcement of judgments, and a final section on alternative dispute resolution. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Succinct, scholarly, and practical, this book will prove a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Singapore will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its comparative value as a contribution to the study of civil procedure in the international context.
