When You Talk, Are People Changed? Whether you speak from the pulpit, podium, or the front of a classroom, you don’t need much more than blank stares and faraway looks to tell you you’re not connecting. Take heart before your audience takes leave! You can convey your message in the powerful, life-changing way it deserves to be told. An insightful, entertaining parable that’s an excellent guide for any speaker, Communicating for a Change takes a simple approach to delivering effectively. Join Pastor Ray as he discovers that the secrets to successful speaking are parallel to the lessons a trucker learns on the road. By knowing your destination before you leave (identifying the one basic premise of your message), using your blinkers (making transitions obvious), and implementing five other practical points, you’ll drive your message home every time! “Long ago, in a galaxy far, far away…” “Once upon a time…” “In the beginning…” Great stories capture and hold an audience’s attention from start to finish. Why should it be any different when you stand up to speak? In Communicating for a Change, Andy Stanley and Lane Jones offer a unique strategy for communicators seeking to deliver captivating and practical messages. In this highly creative presentation, the authors unpack seven concepts that will empower you to engage and impact your audience in a way that leaves them wanting more. “Whether you are a senior pastor with weekly teaching responsibilities or a student pastor who has bern charged with engaging the hearts and minds of high school students, this book is a must-read.” -Bill Hybels, Senior pastor, Willow Creak Community Church “A very practical resource for every biblical communicator who wants to go from good to great.” -Ed Young, Senior pastor, Fellowship Church, Grapevine, Texas “To communicate effectively, you have to connect.

Leaders of thousands of people, they regularly speak in front of large groups. They also listen to numerous speakers and know the disastrous effects of a poorly delivered message. This book is the result of their efforts to make public speaking—one of the most common fear-inducing activities known to mankind—simple, easy, and even enjoyable, so that God’s messages will readily produce the life-changing results they should.

A new and provocative take on the formerly classified history of accelerating superpower military competition in space in the late Cold War and beyond.In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan shocked the world when he established the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), derisively known as “Star Wars,” a space-based missile defense program that aimed to protect the US from nuclear attack. In Weapons in Space, Aaron Bateman draws from recently declassified American, European, and Soviet documents to give an insightful account of SDI, situating it within a new phase in the militarization of space after the superpower détente fell apart in the 1970s. In doing so, Bateman reveals the largely secret role of military space technologies in late–Cold War US defense strategy and foreign relations.In contrast to existing narratives, Weapons in Space shows how tension over the role of military space technologies in American statecraft was a central source of SDI’s controversy, even more so than questions of technical feasibility. By detailing the participation of Western European countries in SDI research and development, Bateman reframes space militarization in the 1970s and 1980s as an international phenomenon. He further reveals that even though SDI did not come to fruition, it obstructed diplomatic efforts to create new arms control limits in space. Consequently, Weapons in Space carries the legacy of SDI into the post–Cold War era and shows how this controversial program continues to shape the global discourse about instability in space—and the growing anxieties about a twenty-first-century space arms race.

Tiziana Terenzi Black XIX March, 100 ml, Parfémy unisex, XIX March je aromatická dřevitá vůně pro muže a ženy od italské rodinné značky nikových (niche) parfémů Tiziana Terenzi, která je proslulá především svými výjimečnými vonnými svíčkami. V roce 2012 značka, jejíž rodinné kořeny sahají až do slavných dob Římské říše, představila svou první řadu parfémů, inspirovanou ohněm. Čtyři parfémy Tiziana Terenzi představují čtyři různé fáze životní cesty, kterou neustále provází hypnotická síla a krása ohně. Čtyři různé zážitky z této cesty, všechny zachycující nezkrotného ducha lidských emocí. XIX March symbolizuje oheň, ve kterém se před jarní rovnodenností pálí pozůstatky zimy a, stejně jako ostatní tři parfémy z této řady, ztělesňuje mocnou lidskou touhu udržet si nádherný moment. Parfém XIX March, inspirovaný tradicí zakládání velkých hranic v noci 18. března (odtud název parfému), na kterých se pálí větévky a křoviny jako rozloučení se zimou a uvolnění místa pro jarní obrodu, vytvořil Paolo Terenzi, renomovaný návrhář parfémů a jeden z potomků zakladatele značky Evelina Terenzi. Tiziana Terenzi XIX March zachycuje atmosféru tradičního svátku (La Focarina di S. Giuseppe), při kterém se lidé shromáždí kolem hranice, starší lidé vypráví dětem příběhy a ti nejodvážnější mladíci skáčou přes oheň, aby dokázali svou odvahu. Oheň spálí všechna trápení a strasti, otevírá prostor pro očekávání příchodu jara a rozněcuje naději. Vzduch je naplněn intenzivními vůněmi, svěžestí a novotou a současně dávnověkostí. Ve vůni Tiziana Terenzi XIX March se setkává svět starých lidových tradic s naprosto inovativní vonnou texturou. Vonná kompozice Tiziana Terenzi XIX March se v hlavě otevírá akordy pomeranče, zelených listů, máty a kopřivy. V srdci zavoní levandule, skořice, hřebíček a jasmín a základ tvoří tóny santalového dřeva, cedru, vetiveru, pižma, muškátového oříšku a rozmarýnu. Celkové aroma XIX March magicky propojuje aromatické, dřevité a zelené stránky s hřejivým i svěžím kořením, a dokonale tak evokuje atmosféru momentu loučení se zimou a vítání jara, symbolu nových počátků a naděje. Současně svěží, jemný a poklidný parfém Tiziana Terenzi XIX March se hodí zejména na denní nošení. Nejlépe samozřejmě jeho přerodový charakter vynikne na přelomu zimy a jara. Svému nositeli vždy dodá pocit harmonie spojené s příjemným očekáváním. Tento parfém si zamilují zejména ženy a muži, kteří mají rádi aromatické dřevité vůně se zelenými a kořenitými stránkami. Vyzkoušet by XIX March měl také každý, kdo u parfému hledá inspirativnost a dokáže ocenit skutečnou kvalitu. Tiziana Terenzi XIX March zaujme také nápaditým a luxusním balením. Elegantní tmavý flakon doplňuje stylová krabička s výrazným zdobným logem. Vyzkoušejte parfém od originální italské rodinné značky a zamilujte se do vůně inspirované ohněm, symbolizujícím odchod zimy a jarní nadějeplné znovuzrození. Tiziana Terenzi XIX March – parfém ztělesňující tradici oslav jarní rovnodennosti.

So this is permanence, edited by Jon Savage with a foreword by Deborah Curtis, presents the intensely personal writings of one of the most enigmatic and influential songwriters and performers of the late twentieth century, Joy Division''s Ian Curtis. The songs of Joy Division, infused with the energy of punk but steeped in a resigned longing, were born of Manchester in the late seventies - a once flourishing industrial city in decline. They were the songs too of Ian Curtis''s inner tragedies, as he battled depression, epilepsy and debilitating stage fright. Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980, on the eve of the band''s first American tour. Interspersed with the lyrics are previously unpublished facsimile pages of Ian''s notebooks, which throw his highly emotive lyrics into fascinating relief and cast light on the creative process of this singularly poetic songwriter.

Acclaimed author of On Kissing, Tickling and Being Bored and On KindnessA collection of literary essays like no other - exploring the deep connections between literature and psychoanalysis - from Britain''s leading psychoanalyst.For Adam Phillips - as for Freud and many of his followers - poetry and poets have always held an essential place, as both precursors and unofficial collaborators in the psychoanalytic project. But the same has never held true in reverse. What, Phillips wonders, at the start of this deeply engaging book, has psychoanalysis meant for writers? And what can writing do for psychoanalysis?Phillips explores these questions through an exhilarating series of encounters with - and vivid readings of - writers he has loved, from Byron and Barthes to Shakespeare and Sebald. And in the process he demonstrates, through his own unique style, how literature and psychoanalysis can speak to and of each other.''Adam Phillips is that rarest of phenomena, a trained clinician who is also a sublime writer'' - John Banville, author of The Sea''Reading Phillips, you may be amused, vexed, dazzled.

'Phillips O'Brien is one of the keenest observers of modern strategy, and his new book takes a deep historical look at the evolution of warfare and its implications for conflicts like the ongoing one in Ukraine' Francis Fukuyama--------------------War and power are two of the most-widely discussed issues in all of human history, and yet they are, time and again, misunderstood often disastrously so.Whilst we might think the outcome of war is determined by so-called Great Powers who dominate their opponents with their impressive size and military prowess, the reality of modern conflict, as renowned strategic historian Professor Phillips Payson O Brien demonstrates, is very different. He urges us instead to look for Full Spectrum Powers .For if we are considering how powerful a nation is and who will win a war, we need to think less about weapons, and more about the economies and societies that produce them; less about individual battles, and more about sustaining campaigns and alliances in which states operate.Using fascinating examples from the late 19th century to the present day, War and Power explains how misunderstanding war and power has led to terrible, even preventable conflicts such as the war in Ukraine and how more accurate analysis can help us consider the potential conflict between the US and China.War and Power provides a bold new way of understanding the dangerous world around us.--------------------'Phillips O'Brien is always fantastic. Heterodox. He's pretty scathing, even about Biden administration policy . . . A really interesting book' Paul Krugman, Distinguished Professor of Economics'As Phillips O'Brien points out in this important book, the character of war evolves, but some of the underlying truths, particularly from the second World War, are still very much with us.'

But it''s not fiction: it''s a riveting quest for the truth about history''s most compelling figure. Discover The Case for Christ today.Praise for The Case for Christ:"Nobody knows how to sift truth from fiction like an experienced investigative reporter, or to argue a case like someone trained at Yale Law School. Lee Strobel brings both qualifications to this remarkable book. In addition to his own tremendous testimony as atheist-turned-Christian, the author marshals the irrefutable depositions of recognized "expert witnesses" to build his ironclad case for Jesus Christ. The Case for Christ sets a new standard among existing contemporary apologetics."--D. James Kennedy, PhD, senior minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

A ROUGH TRADE, THE TIMES, CLASH BOOK OF THE YEARThe dramatic story of Solange: a musician and artist whose unconventional journey to international success was far more important than her family name. ''Why Solange Matters is a significant and sober treatise on popular music . . . This book is more than necessary.''THURSTON MOORE''The author''s prose sparkles . . . This is a book about what freedom could look like for Black women.''CALEB AZUMAH NELSON, OBSERVER''Invigorating . . . much more than a dry thesis and at times something nearer to personal reverie.''IAN PENMAN, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS''A love letter to quirkly black creatives . . . [Phillips''] vibrant writing reminds us how Solange lit "the flame of creativity" within many Black women.'' gal-demGrowing up in the shadow of her superstar sister, Beyoncé, and defying an industry that attempted to bend her to its rigid image of a Black woman, Solange Knowles has become a pivotal musician and artist in her own right.In Why Solange Matters, Stephanie Phillips chronicles the creative journey of Solange, a beloved voice of the Black Lives Matter generation. A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solange’s career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musician’s repertoire. First, she traces Solange’s progress through an inflexible industry, charting the artist’s development up to 2016, when the release of her third album, A Seat at the Table, redefined her career. With this record and, then, When I Get Home (2019), Phillips describes how Solange has embraced activism, anger, Black womanhood and intergenerational trauma to inform her remarkable art.Why Solange Matters not only cements the subject in the pantheon of world-changing twenty-first-century musicians, it introduces its writer as an important new voice.

The novel, bordering between real story and fantasy, controversial by nature, has been written by an experienced author, established up to now in a different genre. Hence the author's need for pseudonym. The plotline is based on the return of Jesus Christ to the earth after more than 2000 years. Jesus Christ is acting as a tabloid sports reporter and a good sportsman, a footballer, interpreting the New Testament and its key events through the 21st-century human way of thinking. Through witty dialogues, Jesus reveals God as an illiterate, who speaks only Hebrew, a bad father, a speed demon and the like, and accuses Him of having made many mistakes.Furthermore, Jesus presents God with a "Jesus 2010" project, aimed at averting the decline of Christian faith. In the end, God agrees to it. Jesus Christ then puts the project into practice, rectifying many errors in the interpretation of Christian history often in shocking ways. Concrete procedures are discussed by the two characters over mobile phones.In the spirit of a worldly, cheerful story, Jesus Christ returns to the earth in the Czech Republic, the place he has chosen as a base for his pilot project and his plan to save the world - because the Garden of Eden may well have been situated there. Capable of performing miracles, Jesus searches for a new way of existence in a common lay and secular milieu of the 21st century. He is confronted with situations he has been only theoretically prepared for and he works on his relation to women and to property: he buys a flat and a good car, he is successful at his job, he finds a girlfriend, loses virginity, discovers the sexual side of his life, gets a dog, conceives a son…Jesus' miracles affect politics, corruption, sport, show-business and the fates of humans as well. He is the cause of major turns in various social affairs. Just as during his first life, even in a democratic society Jesus creates tension with his daring actions, acting not only as Jesus Christ but as a brave man, too. Quickly, he becomes a celebrity but faces more and more problems. Eventually, he gets crucified again, this time in the 21st century and in a "civilized" manner: shot dead treacherously from behind. The final part of the story shifts to a thriller genre.The main feature of the story, despite its tragic ending, is humor. It makes faith in God more human through the faith in positive values of human life, such as the truth, honor or attempts to act justly and do good - something people are not capable of anymore. That is why Jesus Christ had to return.pThe novel is a success, regarded as an outstanding one. However, the Czech market is very small.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERFor the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law.In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

Kdyby se vás někdo zeptal, jaká je vaše sestra, co byste odpověděli? Je hodná, nebo zlá? Úplně jiná než vy? Podobně protikladné jsou i hrdinky románu Sestry od americké autorky Curtis Sittenfeldové. Jedna racionální, druhá iracionální, jedna tuctově konvenční, druhá odvážně volnomyšlenkářská, jedna úzkostlivě opatrná, druhá nezodpovědně ztřeštěná, to jsou sestry Kate a Violet, a přestože jsou to jednovaječná dvojčata, jsou jako den a noc. Kdysi měly něco společného, schopnost předvídat budoucnost, jejich okolí je však za to nemilosrdně odsoudilo k životu na okraji. To jejich cesty na začátku dospělosti rozdělilo. Kate vede běžný život matky dvou malých dětí, ale každou chvíli v něm probleskují temné ozvěny minulosti, zato její sestra Violet věří, že má "vyšší poslání". Po překvapivém, třebaže slabém zemětřesení oznámí Violet médiím, že St. Louis brzo zasáhne ničivé zemětřesení. Její zpráva spustí mediální lavinu a odstartuje řetěz událostí, které vyústí v zemětřesení, jaké nikdo nečekal. Psychologická sonda do vztahu dvou sester, které se pokoušejí každá po svém vyrovnat s traumatickými zážitky z dětství, nepostrádá spád, vtip a ironii, o překvapivé zvraty není nouze. I na konci zůstává mnoho otázek pro čtenáře nezodpovězeno: Mají sestry skutečný dar vidět do budoucnosti, nebo jen výjimečně vyvinutý pozorovací talent a empatii? Je to dar, či prokletí? Máme se spoléhat na racionální úsudek, nebo je lepší věřit šestému smyslu? Kdo ví? Jak tvrdí jedna ze sester, lidé mají tendenci věřit pouze tomu, čemu sami věřit chtějí. Curtis Sittenfeldová je autorkou úspěšných a jedněch z nejprodávanějších románů Sisterland, Prezidentova manželka, Přípravka a Muž mých snů, které byly přeloženy do pětadvaceti jazyků.

Bradt''s Umbria & the Marche is the most detailed guide to combine these two small central Italian regions, which offer all the beauty, history and culture of neighbouring Tuscany only without the crowds, the traffic or eye-popping prices. Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls (authors of the original Cadogan guide to the area) lived in Umbria in the 1980s and have been returning regularly and writing about it ever since. They are the perfect guides to the region''s landscapes, hill towns, food and wine, and art and architecture.The superb art cities of Umbria and the Marche steal the limelight - Perugia, Orvieto, Urbino, Assisi, Spoleto, Loreto, Todi, where art fills every church and palazzo. But never far from these centres wait unspoiled countryside of rolling olive groves, forests and meadows, long walks and towns and tiny villages, nearly all with a masterpiece or two to show off and a great little family-run restaurant. The Bradt guide covers them all, along with the republic of San Marino.The Apennines rule here. The Marche''s geography is dominated by a series of east-west river valleys - the Metauro, Esino, Tronto, etc - twisting down to the Adriatic and often ending in long sandy beaches, from the historic towns of Senigallia and Fano through Ancona''s Cornero Riviera to the Riviera delle Palme at San Benedetto del Tronto. Landlocked Umbria, where rivers flow into the mighty Tiber, has exceptional water features as well: Italy''s fourth largest lake, Trasimeno; the Tiber Valley; Clitunno springs (once sacred to the Romans); and Italy''s most beautiful waterfall, the Cascata delle Marmore. Featuring superb photography and expert recommendations to suit all budgets, Umbria & the Marche - the fifth in Bradt''s increasingly highly regarded series of Italian regional titles - is a timely guide to a more authentic corner of Italy.
