The long-awaited life story of John Williamson: an Australian icon, a much-loved legend of the music industry and man of the land.The joy after all is in the journey, or being what you really wanna be . . .The son of a wheat farmer, John Williamson grew up with an appreciation of the land and all things Australian. His career was kickstarted with a self-proclaimed silly song – 'Old Man Emu' – winning TV's New Faces in 1970, but it was a decade of har...

ALL created life exists under two aspects, and includes in itself what may be denominated a two-fold form of being. In one view, it is something individual and single, the particular revelation as such, by which, in any given case, it makes itself known in the actual world. In another view, it is a general, universal force, which lies back of all such revelation, and communicates to this its true significance and power. In this form, it is an idea; not an abstraction or notion simply, fabr...

WE meet in the sanctuary to-day under circumstances of peculiar interest. An extraordinary evil threatens to come upon the whole land. The angel of death is seen standing upon our borders with a commission to destroy, and his hand is stretched out as it were over our very heads. We are come together to prostrate our spirits before the High and Holy One, and to in-treat his favor and help in view of the uplifted scourge.

Williamson takes us through his life, from growing up on the land in the Mallee and Moree in a family of five boys, to being the voice of Australia. John got a lucky break that kickstarted his music career with ‘Old Man Emu’, which he wrote and performed on New Faces in 1970. After huge initial success, his music career floundered for a decade until he reinvented himself. John’s songs are all about Australia – he expresses his love of our land, his outrage at environmental destruction, his...

This stands related to it, however, only as an external occasion, and has not been permitted to come into view, in any way, in the work itself.It is not felt that any apology is needed for the publication.—This is found in the importance of its subject, which must be left of course to speak for itself.As ...

At the core of the music industries is the artist. There are thousands of aspiring performers yet only a handful can be truly successful. What propels one artist where others fail? Talent? Originality? Ambition? Or pro-active, well-informed career management? Professional management of the artist's career is critical to their eventual and sustained success, and managers are a pivotal and understudied part of the music industries, central to all the activities within them. In recent years, ...

This volume is a collection of essays on church history by John Williamson Nevin (1803-86), the theological creator of Mercersburg Theology. Nevin and his colleague Philip Schaff were attempting to reorient American ecclesial thought to be more historical. Most American theologians of the period posited a period of spiritual decline soon after the New Testament, lasting until the Protestant Reformation. They believed the ongoing task of the children of the Reformation was to remake the chu...

These essays by John Nevin, theologian of Mercersburg Theology, are united by two primary themes: Part 1 documents Nevin's noteworthy and innovative application of idealist philosophy to Reformed theology in antebellum America. American Christians largely rejected any inherited philosophical discipline or categories, claiming the right to invent moral and religious reality without attention to Christian tradition. The paradoxical result was authoritarian rationalism: religious doctrines im...
