Walker Walker was neither a Lion nor a Lion cub. He was an adolescent bursting with hormones. He was already a whimsical Butterfly painting life gay with his iridescent wings, with a wise old Owl soul within his heart of a Cow jailed by an iron Hyena heart guarded by Vultures. Walker was all, and yet, none. He managed to identify with everybody, yet not totally with anybody, even himself. But Walker was not God, as no one is, but only human that led to him rushing headlong into disaster, taking others with him, but emerging unscathed, alone, as he finally found God, himself, albeit in a form opposite towards which he had aspired. The Dark This story is about an old poor writer’s wisdom and the curiosity of a young rich boy. They knew each other only through books though they were neighbours; the boy in his mansion neighbouring the writer in his slum. The writer, writing children’s books, in which were hidden pearls of philosophy, meant only for the wise beyond their years, finally recognizes the young boy but decides to walk away from him fearing that he would hurt a young heart and mind with his old philosophy. But the smart boy manages to get the scent of the writer and follows him and finds him with the help of a young man. The circle of life is complete, but what happens next?

The inspiration for the new film adaptation of the Tony-winning Broadway musical Alice Walker’s iconic modern classic, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award A powerful cultural touchstone of modern literature, The Color Purple depicts the lives of African American women in early twentieth-century rural Georgia. Separated as girls, sisters Celie and Nettie sustain their loyalty to and hope in each other across time, distance, and silence. Through a series of letters spanning twenty years, first from Celie to God, then the sisters to each other despite the unknown, the novel draws readers into its rich and memorable portrayals of Celie, Nettie, Shug Avery and Sofia and their experience. The Color Purple broke the silence around domestic and sexual abuse, narrating the lives of women through their pain and struggle, companionship and growth, resilience and bravery. Deeply compassionate and beautifully imagined, Alice Walker's epic carries readers on a spirit-affirming journey toward redemption and love.

The biblical and Christian traditions have long been seen to have legitimated and encouraged humanity's aggressive domination of nature. Biblical visions of the future, with destruction for the earth and rescue for the elect, have also discouraged any concern for the earth's future or the welfare of future generations. But we now live in a time when environmental issues are at the centre of political and ethical debate. What is needed is a new reading of the biblical tradition that can meet the challenges of the ecological issues that face humanity at the beginning of the third millennium. 'The Bible and the Environment' examines a range of biblical texts - from Genesis to Revelation - evaluating competing interpretations. The Bible provides a thoroughly ambivalent legacy. Certainly, it cannot provide straightforward teaching on care for the environment but nor can it simply be seen as an anti-ecological book. Developing an 'ecological hermeneutic' as a way of mediating between contemporary concerns and the biblical text, 'The Bible and the Environment' presents a way of productively reading the Bible in the context of contemporary ecology.
