Poppy Albert Gondiwindi, dictionary writer, first person narrator.It has three, roughly alternating, narrative strands, each quite different in style but each reflecting or enhancing the other two. “that unhandsome truth”īut my, what a shape it takes. So, she found her 500 acres on the Murrumbidgee, created fictional places – the Murrumby River, and the towns, Massacre Plains and Broken – and her novel started to take shape. She started with too broad a canvas, until her mentor, Nigerian Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka, encouraged her to focus on 500 acres of land, telling her she could tell her story through that lens. Discovering language was, she said, transformative, but turning her passion into a book proved tricky. It was inspired by a short course Winch did in Wiradjuri language run by Uncle Stan Grant Sr (father of Stan Grant whom I’ve reviewed here a couple of times). I wrote about The yield’s genesis last year, but will repeat it here. It makes a powerful plea for Indigenous agency and culture. Ten years in the making, The yield could be described as her “passion project”. Tara June Winch’s novel, The yield, follows her impressive – and David Unaipon award-winning – debut novel Swallow the air (my review).

Throughout all their ups and downs, Alex and Henry, the prince of England, stay together and rely on each other to keep them sane. While remaining mostly upbeat, this book definitely has some more sorrowful moments. Their relationship goes from enemies to reluctant friends, to real friends, to an adorable couple destined to be together forever. “Red, White and Royal Blue” tells the story of how Alex falls in love…with the prince of England. Alex is a hardworking, incredibly intelligent, and fantastically kind person. Despite this great progress and achievement, “Red, White and Royal Blue” is not about her, but about her son Alex. However, the president is a woman, Ellen Claremont. The technology, media, and all general concepts are identical to the real world. “ Red, White and Royal Blue ” by Casey McQuiston takes place in a fictionalized but not unrealistic version of our world. ‘I’m speccy, ginger hair, really short, English. While the documentary shows jubilant fans singing along at his stadium shows, wearing DIY T-shirts bearing the mathematical symbols Sheeran has named his albums after, they rarely get into conflagrations online unlike Styles, Swift or even Drake admirers, there’s little wider sense of a distinct fan culture with its own language, memes and even infighting. It’s quite possible that you had no idea they’re known as the Sheerios, a sobriquet that lacks immediate brand recognition. For one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Sheeran’s presumably gigantic hardcore fanbase is unusually quiet compared to stans of other superstar acts: Swifties, the BeyHive or the Styles-loving Harries. His success has brought with it another paradox. That guy doesn’t become a pop star.” Yet 16 Grammy nominations, 14 UK No 1 singles and 150m record sales later, here we are. The first line of his new Disney+ documentary, The Sum of It All, finds the multi-platinum songwriter declaring: “I’m speccy, ginger hair, really short, English, from the countryside, who stutters and beatboxes. E d Sheeran is very aware of the contradictions at the heart of his superstardom. He and three other Japanese people are summoned to another world to become The Four Cardinal Heroes.

If this study proves useful to you, let me know. While the study guide follows the outline of John Piper’s excellent new book, Providence, and after asking questions about a passage of Scripture assigns a portion to read each lesson (adding up to about sixty percent of the book), this is a Bible study on the theme, not a book study. We need to understand how and why God acts as He does. But if those assurances are to play their intended role, we need to understand what the Scriptures promise, and what they do not. We need to take to heart the assurances of Scripture that God is working all things together for His good and wise purposes. For we all face death, disease, and tragedy we sin and others sin against us and the world often looks to be spiraling out of control. These are not questions that we should leave for theologians to ponder. This raises a multitude of questions: What is God’s goal in all this? How is this sovereignty related to our responsibility for our actions? How is that sovereignty related to His commands to us – and our obeying or disobeying those commands? Does God’s control extend even to evil acts of evil men and all natural events? Does He providentially control all things? The scriptures paint a picture of a sovereign God ruling all events, moving all creation forward to His appointed end. Introducing the study several months ago, I wrote: You can access it here ( Word doc, pdf) and use it for personal or group study. The study guide on God’s Providence is now complete.
