Gerhard's life story - Christ's Grace is Sufficient for me!
WHAT THIS BOOK IS ABOUTReading this remarkable story of Gerhard’s life takes us through deep valleys of despair and frustration, yet, simultaneously, uplifts us to mountain tops of hope and courage. Gerhard appears in these pages as a conventional human being, with whom we can identify, but then, he surprises us with extraordinary performances: Service and caring for others. His loving wife, Emilie, succeeds in disclosing Gerhard’s life, conveying emotions, ambitions, disappointments and hopes. She explains and contextualizes his initial agnostic skepticism, and the resultant feelings of worthlessness, as well as his negative experiences and disappointments with people, but then again, his strong faith in Christ and his victorious life: He could forgive, displaying his bold spirit and strong character. He was willing to challenge people to move beyond sterile modernism to a creative Christian approach of the postmodern; despite the accomplishments of science, Gerhard constantly expresses awe in the majestic creation of God. Simultaneously, he identifies with those in dire need with heartfelt compassion. Dr. Gerhard van Wyk is an exceptional person – I am glad not to have missed this opportunity to read about his achievements and the unique story of this faithful servant of God. – Rudolph Meyer

Beautiful Women Paperback – February 4, 2014
Why write a book on beautiful women? There are so many beautiful things in this world: spring flowers, snow-capped mountains against blue heavens, splendid waterfalls, and scenic landscapes with lush green forests, dazzling deserts, and breathtaking seascapes. None of these, however, can surpass the most beautiful of all God’s creation. What can be more beautiful than a woman’s encouraging smile, the inviting way she empowers others with her cheerful personality? Our destructive society, which likes to think of itself as progressive, has historically belittled females. Even in today's "enlightened" times, it has taken away the beautiful face of women. True, women have been allowed to become leaders in our technological society; however, this has come at a cost. Assuming these positions has, unfortunately, robbed many women of their God-given beauty by rendering them heartless and dictatorial. This book and its authors have done us a great honor by sharing with us the stories of the most beautiful of God’s creation—women! Why write a book on beautiful women?
