Learning to Pray - James Martin
‘A brilliant introduction to prayer’ Richard Rohr, Author of Everything BelongsOne of America’s most beloved spiritual leaders and the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage teaches anyone to converse with God in this comprehensive guide to prayer.‘What do we need to learn? That prayer changes us–and so changes the world we live in; that God is always there before us; that it''s God''s action that makes the difference. Practical, comprehensive, and above all God-centered, this book is a deeply valuable companion for growing in faith.’ Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of CanterburyIn The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, Father James Martin included a chapter on communicating with God. Now, he expands those thoughts in this profound and practical handbook. Learning to Pray explains what prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives.A trusted guide walking beside us as we navigate our unique spiritual paths, Martin lays out the different styles and traditions of prayer throughout Christian history and invites us to experiment and discover which works best to feed our soul and build intimacy with our Creator. Father Martin makes clear there is not one secret formula for praying. But like any relationship, each person can discover the best style for building an intimate relationship with God, regardless of religion or denomination. Prayer, he teaches us, is open and accessible to anyone willing to open their heart.

Fear Is The Mind Killer: Why Learning to Learn deserves lesson time - and how to make it work for your pupils - James Mannion, Kate McAllister
For the last eight years, James and Kate have been working together to design, implement and evaluate a whole-school, evidence-informed approach to teaching and learning known as Learning Skills. An eight-year study with the University of Cambridge revealed that Learning Skills led to significant gains in subject learning, with rapid gains among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. In this practical guide for teachers and school leaders, James and Kate reveal a recipe for success rooted in three key concepts: metacognition (reflecting on learning); self-regulation (taking ownership over the learning process); and oracy (developing high-quality speaking and listening skills). This is a book about what happened when a small team of teachers seized an opportunity to provide their students with the knowledge, the skills and the confidence to take control of their own learning. This journey began with a question: how and what would we teach, if there was no one watching? On the other side of fear is the teacher you want to be, and the children you''d like to teach...

Come Forth - James Martin
''A spiritual masterpiece’ Richard Rohr, OFMA magnificent, moving spiritual journey’ Amy-Jill Levine''Genius'' Mary KarrThe bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Learning to Pray on one of the most intriguing events in the New Testament.''This remarkable testimony demonstrates the power of a single Gospel story. This is soul-nourishing and highly recommended'' Ben Witherington III, author of A Week in the Life of CorinthIn this wise and thoughtful book, Father James Martin, SJ, analyses the miracle of Lazarus’s resurrection and asks us to consider what Jesus means when he calls Lazarus – and each of us – to ''come forth''. Taking us through the Gospel story verse by verse, he offers deep reflection on the lessons it holds about love, family, sadness, frustration, fear, anger, freedom and joy.Come Forth combines compelling analysis of the biblical text, insights about the historical setting of the story, meditations on Lazarus in art and the larger culture, as well as stories of Martin’s personal experiences. As he explores these strands in-depth, Martin offers us a deeper understanding of this miracle and its essential message – letting go of the limiting beliefs that prevent us from experiencing God in all His glory.''All of us have things that we need to "let die" in order to follow God more freely, to love more deeply, and to become the people whom God desires us to be,'' Martin writes. As this wise and profound book reveals, we need only to open ourselves to the transformative story of Lazarus and trust that God can use it to free us to experience new life – and come closer to Him.

Learning to Sleep - John Burnside
Lucid, lyrical, and intellectually profound: this collection of poems resonates with life and death, but mostly what falls in between: the charmed darkness.Several ghosts haunt Learning to Sleep, from the author''s mother, commemorated in an exquisitely charged variant on the pastoral elegy, to the poet Arthur Rimbaud, who wanders an implausible Lincolnshire landscape looking for some sign of belonging. Throughout the book, the powers and dominions of a lost pagan ancestry emerge unexpectedly through the gaps in contemporary life: half-seen and fleeting, but profoundly present. Behind it all, the figure of Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep, marks Burnside''s own attempts to come to terms with the severe sleep disorder from which he has suffered for years, a condition that culminated in the recent near-death experience that informs the latter part of the book.Add to this a series of provocative meditations on the ways in which we are all harmed by institutions, from organised religion, or marriage, to the tawdry concepts of gender and romantic love that subtly govern our personal lives, and Learning to Sleep reveals Burnside at his most elegiac, while still retaining a radical pagan''s sense of celebration and cultural independence.‘I read it over and over again, marvelling at its concision and beauty.'' Cressida Connolly, Spectator** A SPECTATOR BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021**

Po své prozaické prvotině Lázně se Martin Reiner po letech autorsky znovu vrací k próze. Kdyby se do knih vkládaly také jejich příběhy líčící cestu, jakou dílo prošlo od početí až k finále, v případě prózy Lucka, Maceška a já by to bylo čtení velmi objemné, vzrušující a dramatické: první a poslední verze jsou totiž od sebe vzdáleny o jeden vesmír. Kniha si hledala svou podobu několik let. Co však zaujme nejspíš jen literárního historika, nemusí vůbec zajímat čtenáře. Toho zajímá výsledek. A jaký je? Je to příběh o jemných a křehkých věcech: o otcovském vztahu dospělého mladíka k cizí holčičce, o jeho letitém hledání sexuální identity, o téměř detektivním pátrání po slavném exilovém básníkovi a jeho minulosti. Také o poezii, o bolestných prozřeních, odcizeních, ztrátách i o smrti. Tato kniha vskutku dozrála. Především v tom, jak umně se prolínají a násobí osudy postav jakoby z různých světů, když každá z nich by vydala na samostatnou novelu. Také v tom, jaká síla a působivost tryská z autorova básnivého jazyka. Myslím, že v tomto případě platí, že kniha Lucka, Maceška a já svou kvalitou přesáhla svého autora.

The Projector and Elephant - Jeet Heer, Martin Vaughn-James
Two surreal graphic novels about technology, corporatization, and alienation in the modern world by a cult-favorite comics innovator.In 1968, the British artist and writer Martin Vaughn-James emigrated to Canada. Over the next eight years, he proceeded to produce some of the most mesmerizing and inventive works in comics, light-years ahead of his contemporaries. Among them were Elephant and The Projector, linked graphic novels that guide the reader (and a bespectacled Everyman) through landscapes built out of both the everyday and the nightmarish. Jam-packed superhighways, plummeting horses, vast urban wastelands, colossal businessmen, demented cartoon animals, and interstellar oranges are just a small part of Vaughn-James’s prophetic vision of society’s turn away from the natural world to the artificial.Together for the first time in a single volume, designed and edited by Seth and with an introduction by Jeet Heer, Elephant and The Projector stand as a reminder that we have yet to catch up to Vaughn-James.

The Martini - Matt Hranek
Sophisticated, evocative, and delicious, the martini will never go out of style. Appearing in countless movies-for example, any one of the Bond films-it''s one of the most popular and well-known cocktails of all time. Making a martini is simplicity personified, the classic recipe requiring just two ingredients (not counting the garnish): gin and vermouth. And now man-about-town Matt Hranek is here to tell us everything we need to know about the iconic cocktail. Like Hranek''s The Negroni, The Martini will give readers insight into the drink''s nineteenth-century-origins, as well as the tools for making 35 simple variations of the drink-a combination of recipes from the author, recipes from experts/bartenders around the world, and iconic versions that any martini fanatic needs to have on hand. Included are the author''s own version, always with gin (never vodka), served ice cold and dry with a twist of lemon (or, on very rare occasions, like when he is hungry, an olive); the Martinez (circa 1849), named for the city of Martinez about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, where some say this all began; a lime martini, a nod to Hranek''s father, who loved a gin and tonic; and New York City legend Russ & Daughters Cafe''s own martinis, "The Lower East Side" and "The Smoked Martini." There will be details on ingredients, methods (to shake or to stir?), garnish, equipment, glassware; where to get the best martini around the world, and more. Beautiful original and archival photography make this an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a martini.

Kati pražského jara - Martin Novák
Jméno Leonid Brežněv zná v České republice skoro každý, včetně těch, kteří se narodili nebo vyrůstali po listopadu 1989. Muž, spojený s likvidací reformního procesu v Československu v roce 1968, ovlivnil životy Čechů a Slováků tak jako málokterý jiný zahraniční politik. A s ním i ti, kteří od poloviny šedesátých do poloviny osmdesátých let v Kremlu rozhodovali o tom, co velmoc jménem SSSR udělá: Alexej Kosygin, Jurij Andropov, Michail Suslov, Andrej Gromyko, Konstantin Černěnko a další. Reportér a publicista Martin Novák poprvé přehledně a z různých pohledů mapuje brežněvovské období, jež nazývá érou “katů Pražského jara”. Řadu míst spojených s Brežněvovým životem a jeho režimem autor navštívil a dlouho shromažďoval dokumenty i svědectví. Popisuje Brežněvovo složité dětství a dospívání na Ukrajině, Stalinův dlouhý posmrtný stín na veškeré dění v Sovětském svazu, dramatické detaily spiknutí proti Chruščovovi, tvrdý boj o pozice v Kremlu, pronásledování a týrání disidentů, marné pokusy o reformování nemocné sovětské ekonomiky. Vedle toho se zabývá také podrobnostmi dialogu mezi Washingtonem a Moskvou v první polovině sedmdesátých let, vpádem vojsk Varšavské smlouvy do Československa, konfliktem s Čínou, invazí do Afghánistánu či krizí v Polsku v roce 1981.

Opátstvo - James Martin
Čo tak asi takí mnísi robia celé dlhé dni? Ako sa žije v opátstve? Dokáže sa nám prihovoriť Boh, aj keď ani nevkročíme do kostola? James Martin SJ prináša príbeh Anne, matky, ktorá prišla o syna tínedžera a celkom „náhodne“ ju život privedie do opátstva, kde bola kedysi pokrstená. Teraz v ňom hľadá stratenú vieru, hoci o tom netuší. Pieseň, ktorú si jej otec kedysi pohmkával pri práci, naštartuje jej cestu k hľadaniu zmyslu tragédie jej syna. Rozbije sa okno, pokazí sa auto a treba pokosiť trávnik. Zo strán tejto knihy cítime na tvári vietor v záhrade, v rukách dotyk hliny, v nose vôňu kvetov či kadidla, počujeme hukot kosačky a zvuk zvonu, ktorý zvoláva mníchov na modlitby. Ale aj volanie nadviazať rozhovor o veciach, pre ktoré sme stratili kontakt s Bohom. Zostaneme stáť na studenej chodbe kláštora alebo vojdeme do ticha záhrady?

Most mezi římskokatolickou církví a LGBTQ+ komunitou - James Martin
Jezuitský kněz James Martin naléhavě vyzývá katolické představitele, aby se k LGBTQ+ věřícím chovali novým způsobem, který se vyznačuje soucitem a otevřeností. V této inspirativní knize vychází ze svých dlouholetých setkání s lidmi „na obou stranách mostu“ a v úvahách nad třemi ctnostmi navrženými Katechismem katolické církve — respektem, soucítěním a ohleduplností — naznačuje možnosti, jak se mohou reprezentanti katolické hierarchie a LGBTQ+ křesťané navzájem přibližovat na cestě vzájemného smíření.Tato průkopnická kniha obsahuje také duchovní a biblické zdroje pro LGBTQ+ osoby a jejich rodiny a přátele. Autor provází biblické úryvky meditacemi a otázkami k zamyšlení, které mohou LGBTQ+ lidem pomoci najít své místo v církvi a vstoupit do hlubšího vztahu s Bohem. Jeho myšlenky rovněž otvírají možnost křesťanským společenstvím takovéto lidi s pochopením přijmout. Kniha, která je v dnešní atmosféře rozdělení zoufale potřebná.

Pražské jaro - Martin Schulze Wessel
Rok 1968 patří v českých dějinách ke zlomovým okamžikům. Na jedné straně představuje pokus o revizi politické a ekonomické situace Československa, na straně druhé vykročení směrem k pluralitní demokracii. Česká historiografie se tomuto tématu začala intenzivně věnovat záhy po listopadu 89. Dodnes však nedospěla k ucelené, synteticky pojaté interpretaci. V jubilejním roce s ní naopak přichází německý bohemista a rusista Martin Schulze Wessel. Ten ve své monografii, lakonicky nazvané Pražské jaro, nazírá celospolečenské změny roku 1968 prizmatem postupného tání totalitního režimu, který erodoval jednak kvůli československým reakcím na odhalení Stalinova kultu osobnosti (revize politických procesů), jednak v důsledku ekonomické krize, do níž se plánovaná ekonomika na přelomu 50. a 60. let dostala. Společenské změny roku 1968, resp. konce 60. let, Schulze Wessel vnímá v rovině politické, ekonomické, ale i kulturní, přičemž právě v liberalizaci kulturního prostředí (noviny, časopisy, divadlo, film) vidí jednu z příčin skutečné revize socialismu v Československu, jež se v tomto ohledu výrazně liší od pokusů o revizi ve středovýchodní Evropě roku 1956. Velkou předností jeho esejisticky pojaté práce je skutečnost, že český rok 1968 nazírá v širokém kontextu evropského roku 1968. Důraz přitom klade jak na českou jedinečnost, tak i na provázanost a vzájemné inspirace se západním hnutím. Díky tomu překládá velmi vyvážený a přitom podnětný pohled na české dějiny 60. let 20. století a na jejich vyústění v prvních devíti měsících roku 1968. Své líčení končí sovětskou invazí do Československa v srpnu 68, která celý obrodný proces zastavila a společenské dění v ekonomické, politické i kulturní rovině zbavila veškerých demokratizačních tendencí.Vydání knihy podpořil Česko-německý fond budoucnosti.
