David Grant je autorem, jehož přístup k psaní je formován jeho vášní pro historii a neochvějným přesvědčením o nutnosti zpochybňovat status quo. Jeho akademické zázemí a kariéra v oblasti inovací ho vedly k přesvědčení, že minulost nikdy není zcela mrtvá a že informace je třeba vždy kriticky posuzovat. Tyto principy prostupují jeho literární tvorbou, kde se snaží odhalit skryté pravdy a zpochybnit zažité interpretace.

Whitman produced three editions of Leaves of Grass before the Civil War, reflecting his deep commitment to anti-slavery. His unpublished work, The Eighteenth Presidency, reveals his engagement with the rhetoric of the emerging Republican Party. This study examines the connections between the pre-war Leaves of Grass and the party's prophetic vision, aiming to contextualize Whitman's work while highlighting aspects of party discourse that resonate with literary and cultural studies. Anti-slavery discourse sought to revive a complacent populace, creating a fictional narrative that encouraged individuals to reclaim their roles in the republic. This rejuvenation was both a cause and effect, empowering citizens to rescue the nation from the impending threat of slavery. The success of party discourse relied on transformative narratives that inspired collective action, making it an effective medium for articulating the anti-slavery movement's vision of national salvation. Whitman's celebration of the nation's potential is intertwined with this context, as he urges the people to reject subordination and seize control of their future. Through intricate reflections and addresses to Americans, Leaves of Grass evokes the dormant powers within the citizenry, fostering a belief that they can redeem themselves and, in turn, the nation.
How does God get the Word out to a lost and dying world? This book will inspire you to see yourself as a tool for God's kingdom. God has a ministry for everyone, and He will use what you make available to Him. Missionary-preacher David Grant's name has become synonymous in the Assemblies of God with riveting storytelling that makes listeners laugh one minute and cry the next. Very human stories of a kid growing up in Southern parsonages mix with deeply moving stories that expose great human need around the world and the great heart of our compassionate God who cares for the neediest and exploited. In Born to Give, Grant tells his own riveting story, of a young boy who gave God his life in an offering pan at the invitation of a legendary missionary and became a missionary to the nations, ministering throughout Southern Asia, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and to victims of sexual slavery. Inspiring both laughter and tears, Born to Give is a refreshing and real story that will lead readers to place their own lives and resources in God's miracle-working hands and engage with Him to bring hope in a broken, unjust world.

Nice is the queen of the Cote d'Azur. Founded by the Greeks some time after the 6th century BC, it has borne the tread of Roman legionnaires and Italy-bound Englishmen on the Grand Tour as well as Lost Generation literati from Hemingway to Fitzgerald. Since the late 19th century it has been known as a pleasure capital, and now tourism is its beating heart. But how did this happen? What was it that changed not just Nice or the French Riviera, but our leisure habits as a whole?

Mladý veterinář David Grant rád přijme nabídku na stáž v Kolumbii. Je připraven se v Medellinu lecčemu přiučit, nebyl však připraven jednat s mafií, na nesnesitelné podnebí, na studentské řádění ani na přepadení partyzány... Zato je nepostradatelný pro bohaté klienty, kteří rozmazlují své chlupaté miláčky. Nemůže přehlédnout, že leckteří psi se tu mají mnohem lépe než některé děti, vyrůstající na ulici.

Oblíbený britský veterinář nás tentokrát zve do "zvířecí nemocnice". Jeho srdečný, láskyplný vztah ke zvířatum se promítá do vtipného vyprávění, protkaného kousavou ironií, již veterinář změřuje nejčastěji sám proti sobě. Příběhy některých zvířat jsou smutné; Grant nás seznamuje s mučivým osudem některých štěňat a koťat po Vánocích, kdy si jejich noví majitelé uvědomí, že je vlasntě nechtějí... V dalším vyprávění nám přibližuje strasti a slasti jarního skotačení zvířátek, které končí návštěvou u veterináře. Hlavními hrdiny této knihy je celá plejáda tvorů a tvorečků, kteří nám přinášejí velkou radost, ale někdy nám dokáží také "pořádně zatopit".
