      Hannah Arendt argued that the “political” is best understood as a power relation between private and public realms, and that storytelling is a vital bridge between these realms—a site where individualized passions and shared perspectives are contested and interwoven. Jackson explores and expands Arendt’s ideas through a cross-cultural analysis of storytelling that includes Kuranko stories from Sierra Leone, Aboriginal stories of the stolen generation, stories recounted before the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and stories of refugees, renegades, and war veterans. Focusing on the violent and volatile conditions under which stories are and are not told, and exploring the various ways in which narrative reworkings of reality enable people to symbolically alter subject-object relations, Jackson shows how storytelling may restore existential viability to the intersubjective fields of self and other, self and state, self and situation.

      Four years ago, author Michael Jackson was diagnosed with and cured of cancer. The treatment and aftermath of something no larger than the size of an egg would change his life forever. Jackson had spent so much time on his own pleasures that he never really focused on what God wanted him to be. Sometimes when we ignore God, He allows things to happen to get our attention. For the author, being diagnosed with cancer was his wake-up call. In Beyond The Battle, Jackson gives you a look at his lifestyle before and after he allowed God to take control of his life. He shares how the Lord used a hopeless situation and turned it into a blessing. When life gives you lemons, God can turn them into eternal peace and joy, but only if one is open to what God is doing to see where He wants to take you. The author hopes to inspire others who are going through difficult situations to trust in the heavenly father and find beauty in their life.
