Habakuk vóór die loflied

Ek het Ivor Swartz se nuwe boek al ’n tydjie gelede begin, maar ander boeke het knaend in die ry gespring. Totdat ek vanuit ’n heel ander oord gekonfronteer word met dieselfde waarhede waarna die skrywer onder andere, by monde van die profeet, Habakuk, verwys. By ’n biduurgeleentheid is ons herinner aan Johannes 16 vers 33: “Dit het Ek vir julle gesê, dat julle in My vrede kan hê. In die wêreld sal julle verdrukking hê; maar hou goeie moed, Ek het die wêreld oorwin.” Dit het my geïnspireer om erns te maak met Nogtans-geloof, gepen na aanleiding van Habakuk se pad wat hy gestap het onder uitdagende omstandighede.
Christene kan byna deur die bank lustig saamsing oor vyebome wat nie bot nie, van mislukte oeste, krale sonder vee en voete soos ribbokke (Habakuk 3:17-19). Maar die proses wat hierdie profeet uiteindelik laat jubel het, is minder bekend. Aanvanklik is die profeet opstandig omdat onreg seëvier, hy kla by God oor wetteloosheid, geweld en vernietiging. Hy vertoef lank genoeg in gebed by God om God se antwoord te kry dat Hy die onreg nie ongestraf sal laat nie.
Die skrywer trek deurgaans ’n parallel met ons omstandighede in Suid-Afrika, waar wetteloosheid, korrupsie en geweld oënskynlik ook seëvier. Hy raak persoonlik en eerlik deur te erken dat hy self sy eie trauma en seer as verskoning gebruik het om minder as ’n dissipel van Jesus op te tree (p.168).
Daar gaan ook ernstige waarskuwings uit in die boek: “God kan nie gemanipuleer word nie – nie met trane, biddae, vasdae of enige ander soort godsdienstige rituele nie. God kan vertrou word – Hy ken jou, jou omstandighede, jou verse en beproewinge.” (p.29) ’n Ander groot gevaar wat die skrywer uitwys, is dat ons kennis van God in diens begin staan van ons verwagtinge, welke verwagtinge dan jou siening van God gepaal. Die skrywer gebruik die voorbeeld van Jona in hierdie verband.
Nogtans-geloof kan effektief gebruik word as studiehulpmiddel wanneer die boek van Habakuk deurgewerk word. Ek herhaal ten slotte graag die stelling wat Ivor Swartz reeds vroeg maak: “Ek glo in nogtans omdat ek al die donkerste van tye oorleef het, en eerstehands gesien het die lig is altyd sterker en hou langer.” (p.16)
Nogtans-geloof is ’n publikasie van Lux Verbi, druknaam van NB Uitgewers. Die skrywer verskaf ook ’n lys van boeke wat hy aanbeveel om ter aanvulling te lees.

This was such a great read, I absolutely loved it!

A Beacon of Bravery: Illuminating Mental Health in Post-Apartheid South Africa

Like his name, Lesedi illuminates the complexities of the mental health conversation by sharing his personal journey with bravery and vulnerability. His story not only offers a window into his own experiences but also encourages us to reflect on our own mental health journeys. His narrative is intricately connected to the broader context of post-apartheid South Africa, making it a crucial addition to the collective understanding of the nation's reality. Patient 12A stands out as a significant and necessary contribution to the ongoing discourse on mental health in South Africa.

Something for everyone

This book was absolutely fantastic. There's definitely something for everyone, and everything we tried was delicious!

I loved the tidbits from Tannie Maria and the (fictional) backgrounds for the recipes.
The instructions are very clear and done in a conversational way- as if your best friend is explaining how to make the recipe.

Recipes to live for has quickly become one of my go to cookbooks and I'll keep referring back to it.
