George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Are you sick and tired of the Enemy who plans to destroy your life, your family, relationships, your health, and your dreams, through fear, doubt, unbelief, and the insecurities brought on by rejection and unworthiness? The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy and rob you of the promises of God given to his redeemed. Jesus died on Calvary to forgive our sins and to make and bring peace to us, and he took our punishment so that we could be healed and receive every blessing in heavenly places. In this book, you will receive biblical principles that, when studied and applied, will bring the Word of God to life for you. You will learn to walk by faith and talk faith in every area of life. You will see that healing is Gods will for his people. You will see how the Enemy lays traps of unbelief to hinder you. You will see that Jesus defeated Satan, and his power is broken. My prayer for you is that you will receive understanding and that the Lord Jesus will be glorified in your life in every area. Having faith is having confidence that God will do what he promises he will do. God never changes; his word remains the same. We are changed from glory to glory!
