A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making-from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy.In the stirring, highly anticipated first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency-a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil.Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation's highest office.Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune's Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden.A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective-the story of one man's bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of `hope and change,` and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible.This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama's conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - AND THE GIFT THAT WILL BE ON EVERY BRUCE AND BARACK FAN''S WISH LIST!Two long-time friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly-produced expansion of their groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material.Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to their country''s polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-colour photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders-one Black and one white-looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself.It includes:· Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen· Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions· Obama''s never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his "Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches· Springsteen''s handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career· Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors'' personal archives· Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation.In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favourite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for-and the occasional toll of-telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how their fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity.

Audiokniha: Strhujúce osobné rozprávanie o tom, ako sa tvorí história, z pera prezidenta, ktorý posilnil vieru Američanov v silu demokracie. V dlho očakávanej prvej časti memoárov prináša Barack Obama príbeh neuveriteľnej odysey mladého muža hľadajúceho svoju identitu, ktorý sa nakoniec stane vodcom slobodného sveta. Obama úprimne odkrýva detaily svojho politického vývoja a približuje kľúčové chvíle pôsobenia na poste prezidenta Spojených štátov amerických počas svojho prvého funkčného obdobia – v čase prevratných a dramatických zmien. Pozýva čitateľov na neodolateľnú púť, počnúc najranejšími politickými ambíciami cez rozhodujúce víťazstvo v iowskom volebnom zhromaždení, ktoré ukázalo silu lokálneho aktivizmu, po prelomovú noc 4. novembra 2008, keď sa stal 44. prezidentom Spojených štátov a prvým Afroameričanom na najvyššom poste krajiny. Obama uvažuje o svojom pôsobení v úrade prezidenta a jedinečným spôsobom skúma obrovský dosah aj limity prezidentskej moci. Dovolí nám pritom nazrieť do dynamiky americkej straníckej politiky a medzinárodnej diplomacie. Vezme nás so sebou do Oválnej pracovne aj do Situačnej miestnosti Bieleho domu, zavedie nás do Moskvy, Káhiry, Pekingu a na ďalšie miesta, ktoré navštívil. Prezrádza nám, na čo myslel, keď zostavoval svoj kabinet, bojoval s finančnou krízou, stretol sa s Vladimirom Putinom a s ďalšími štátnikmi. Dozvieme sa, ako prekonal zdanlivo neprekonateľné rozpory pri schvaľovaní zákona o dostupnej starostlivosti, vzoprel sa generálom v otázke americkej stratégie v Afganistane, reformoval Wall Street, zasahoval po ničivej havárii Deepwater Horizon či schválil operáciu Neptúnov trojzubec, ktorá vyvrcholila usmrtením Usámu bin Ládina. Zasľúbená zem je hlboko osobný introspektívny príbeh muža, ktorý uzavrel stávku s históriou a vypracoval sa z lokálneho politika až na svetové javisko. Obama úprimne rozpráva o hľadaní rovnováhy medzi rozhodnutím kandidovať na najvyšší úrad z pozície muža čiernej pleti, prijatím očakávaní, ktoré naňho kládla generácia volajúca po naplnení prísľubu „nádeje a zmeny”, a zvládnutím morálnej výzvy urobiť správne rozhodnutie, keď ide o veľa. Otvorene hovorí o silách, ktorým čelil doma aj v zahraničí, vysvetľuje, ako život v Bielom dome ovplyvnil jeho manželku a dcéry, a nebojí sa priznať vlastné sklamania a pochybnosti o sebe samom. Nikdy však nezakolíše vo viere, že v prebiehajúcom veľkom americkom experimente je pokrok vždy možný. Táto silná a výborne napísaná audiokniha zachytáva presvedčenie Baracka Obamu, že demokracia nie je darom zhora, ale buduje sa dennodenným úsilím založeným na empatii a vzájomnom pochopení.

Since the beginning of Christianity, the Lord''s Prayer has occupied an important place in the lives of Jesus''s disciples, for it is the prayer Jesus himself taught them. Like other biblical prayers, the Lord''s Prayer contains words people offer to God. But since this prayer is from Jesus and is part of Scripture, it is also God''s Word to people. When we say this prayer, not only are we speaking to God, but God is also speaking to us.Highly regarded New Testament scholar William Wright shows how this classic text can speak afresh to the life of the church today. He integrates critical exegesis, theological exposition, and Christian spirituality to explicate the theological substance of the Lord''s Prayer. His goal is to help readers come to know God and love God and others more deeply through a focused study of this important Christian prayer.The Touchstone Texts series addresses key Bible passages, making high-quality biblical scholarship accessible to the church. The series editor is Stephen B. Chapman, Duke Divinity School.

A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud  “A compellingly readable and intelligent book. . . . Both authors write with impressive energy.”—Rowan Williams, New Statesman  In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again. Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone.  Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter’s Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, “it is the mending that matters.”
