As a mime, he relied on the basics of human perception and, without saying a word, brought an energy and electricity to the stage that would normally require lots of extras. -Juan Carlos Coto and Tony Fins, The Miami Hurricane, The University of Miami Ken's wife, Beth Atkinson-Alcorn saved my life. Then we got to know Ken as he put his talents to use at our radio station in between the "calls of the children" with lost lunches, school awards and athletic competitions, juvenile detention rescues, and college graduations.

Here are readings for the full calendar year, with a Scripture passage for each day, a meditation and a prayer. Angus Buchan gave his life to Jesus on 18th February, 1979. Shortly afterwards a friend commented that there was something different in him: the old anger and aggression had been replaced by joy and peace. The following day, walking through the fields, his friend gave his life to his new-found Saviour. -He was the first person I had ever led to Jesus Christ,- recalls Angus. -I was an ambassador of Jesus Christ. I was new at it, but He gave me the words to say. All I had to do was to be obedient and share with my friend. The Holy Spirit did the rest.- Over the years Angus has striven hard to become an effective ambassador for his Lord. A popular speaker and author, he has addressed hundreds of thousands at rallies, and counselled people one by one, helping them to find faith and grow in spiritual stature. The core of his ministry has been his daily time alone with Jesus, usually in the very early morning, before the demands of the day push through his door. In this collection of daily devotions Angus shares the insights and convictions that have come to him as he has spent time with his Lord. It will help you to live a victorious Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Does the earth have a spirit or soul? Science and rationality have not taught us how to love or care for the earth. The mythic bonds to nature, such as those found in Aboriginal Australian cultures, appear to have real survival value because they bind us to the earth in a meaningful way. When these bonds are destroyed by excessive rationality or a collapse of cultural mythology, we are left alone, outside the community of nature and in an alienated state. Jung was one of the first thinkers of our time to consider the psychic influence of the earth and the conditioning of the mind by place. Inspired by his writings and those of James Hillman, the field of eco-psychology has arisen as a powerful new area of inquiry. Edge of the Sacred: Jung, Psyche, Earth contributes to global eco-psychology from an Australian perspective.
