The last two decades have seen the remarkable rise to dominance of human-centred understandings of the world. Indeed, it is now rare to read any analysis of insecurity, conflict or development which does not discuss the need to 'empower' or 'capacity-build' local individuals or communities. In this path-breaking book, Chandler presents a radical challenge to such approaches, arguing that the solutions to the world's problems are now not perceived to lie within external structures of economic, political and social relations, but instead with individuals and groups who are often seen to be the most marginal and powerless. This fundamental change has gone hand-in-hand with the shift from state-based to society-based understandings of the world. Chandler provocatively argues that human-centred approaches have limited rather than expanded the transformative possibilities available to us, and if real change is to be achieved - both at a local and a global level - then a radical re-think in Western thought is required.
For Ron & Patricia Owens, The Journey is a drink offering of adoration poured out to Jesus-the Rose of Sharon. With grateful hearts, the Owens commend to you the poetry, songs, and truths Christ has written on their hearts. May you be encouraged on your journey and drawn closer to Jesus each day. We are on a worship journey that begins with our "new birth." It's a journey that continues every day we're here on earth. It's a journey that will climax when we enter heaven's gate, There with every tongue and nation we will join in perfect praise. Ron and Patricia Owens have traveled the world for almost fifty years, gratefully serving where the Lord provides open doors. In North America and internationally, they have ministered in conferences, churches, seminaries, and colleges. Their focus includes Ron's preaching and teaching on the subjects of worship and revival as well as their joint ministry through music, composition, and authoring books. Ron writes most of the poetry for their songs, while Patricia writes and arranges the music. In addition to writing songs together, Ron has authored several biographies with additional titles in process.
