New York Times BestsellerAn urgent exploration of how antisemitism has shaped Jewish identity and how Jews can reclaim their tradition, by the celebrated White House speechwriter and author of the critically acclaimed Here All Along. At thirty-six, Sarah Hurwitz was a typical lapsed Jew. On a whim, she attended an introduction to Judaism class and was astonished by what she discovered: thousands of years of wisdom from her ancestors about what it means to be human. That class sparked a journey of discovery that transformed her life. Years later, as Hurwitz wrestled with what it means to be Jewish at a time of rising antisemitism, she wondered: Where had the Judaism she discovered as an adult been all her life? Why hadn’t she seen the beauty and depth of her tradition in those dull synagogue services and Hebrew school classes she’d endured as a kid? And why had her Jewish identity consisted of a series of caveats and apologies: I’m Jewish, but not that Jewish . . . I’m just a cultural Jew . . . I’m just like everyone else but with a fun ethnic twist—a dash of neurosis, a touch of gallows humor—a little different, but not in a way that would make anyone uncomfortable. Seeking answers, she went back through time to discover how hateful myths about Jewish power, depravity, and conspiracy have worn a neural groove deep into the world’s psyche, shaping not just how others think about Jews, but how Jews think about themselves. She soon realized that the Jewish identity she’d thought was freely chosen was actually the result of thousands of years of antisemitism and two centuries of Jews erasing parts of themselves and their tradition in the hope of being accepted and safe. In As a Jew, Hurwitz documents her quest to take back her Jewish identity, how she stripped away the layers of antisemitic lies that made her recoil from her own birthright and unearthed the treasures of Jewish tradition. With antisemitism raging worldwide, Hurwitz’s defiant account of reclaiming the Jewish story and learning to live as a Jew, without apology, has never been timelier or more necessary.

Beloved teacher and thought leader Gregg Braden explains how word-specific patterns used by ancient civilisations can help us rewire our brains for resilience and healing.Long before the advent of neuroscience, our ancestors understood intuitively that the words we speak and think can cause deep inner transformation: they created specific word patterns to provide healing, strength and inner power in difficult times, and encoded these in prayers and sacred writings.In this book, Gregg Braden shares Wisdom Codes for the full range of life experiences, including:- healing from loss- giving and receiving love- addressing anger, anxiety and addiction- finding forgivenessEach Wisdom Code - distilled from a quote, a scripture passage or a parable - is accompanied by a brief discussion of what the code means, why it's important and how to apply it in your life.

The #1 New York Times and Amazon Charts bestselling author Gregg Olsen solves a murder among the Amish and reveals the conspiracy to keep it a secret in a heartbreaking and horrifying true-crime story.In 1977, in an Ohio Amish community, pregnant wife and mother Ida Stutzman perished during a barn fire. The coroner’s report: natural causes. Ida’s husband, Eli, was never considered a suspect. But when he eventually rejected the faith and took his son, Danny, with him, murder followed.What really happened to Ida? The dubious circumstances of the tragic blaze were willfully ignored and Eli’s shifting narratives disregarded. Could Eli’s subsequent cross-country journey of death—including that of his own son—have been prevented if just one person came forward with what they knew about the real Eli Stutzman?The questions haunted Gregg Olsen and Ida’s brother Daniel Gingerich for decades. At Daniel’s urging, Olsen now returns to Amish Country and to Eli’s crimes first exposed in Olsen’s Abandoned Prayers, one of which has remained a mystery until now. With the help of aging witnesses and shocking long-buried letters, Olsen finally uncovers the disturbing truth—about Ida’s murder and the conspiracy of silence and secrets that kept it hidden for forty-five years.

Účelem knihy je odhalit nové objevy o našem původu a ukázat, jak tyto objevy aplikovat na svůj každodenní život. Důkazy naznačují, že jsme výsledkem záměrného aktu stvoření, produktem inteligentní formy života. To vede k zásadní změně způsobu, jak vnímáme sami sebe a naše místo ve vesmíru. Osvobodíme se od představy osamocené bezvýznamnosti a pochopíme, jaké máme vzácné dědictví, jež právě začínáme objevovat. Jsme tady, v tělech, jež mají nervový systém, který nám poskytuje schopnosti jako soucit, empatii, intuici, samoléčení a mnohem víc. Nový příběh lidstva začíná u našeho počátku. Začíná skutečností, že od doby našeho vzniku jsme vybaveni mimořádnými schopnostmi. Jak tyto schopnosti probudíme, jak se je naučíme ovládat a využívat? Gregg Braden vás vezme na výzkumnou cestu, kde se budete společně snažit najít odpověď na tuto otázku a zjistit, co to znamená být člověkem podle plánu. Co je člověk není náboženská kniha - není určena k podpoře jakékoli konkrétní náboženské víry, jež se týká stvoření nebo lidského původu, jako je kreacionismus. Je založena na odborně ověřených vědeckých důkazech (antropologických, paleontologických, biologických a genetických), přesto to ale není ani vědecká kniha. Nová historie sepsaná zde se může jevit v rozporu s tradičními příběhy předkládanými náboženskou naukou stejně jako s konvenčními vědními disciplínami. Tato kniha je souborem výsledků výzkumu a dokumentů. Autor ji napsal čtivým způsobem, aby podpořil pozitivní způsob, jakým my lidé sami sebe vidíme ve světě. Jeho text je příkladem toho, čeho můžeme dosáhnout, překročíme-li tradiční hranice mezi vědou a spiritualitou. Spojením nejmodernějších objevů biologie, genetiky a přírodních věd s prastarou moudrostí získáme pevný rámec pro pochopení, co je v našem životě možné. Gregg Braden psal s jediným záměrem: umožnit nám volbu, která povede k úspěšnému životu v transformovaném světě.

Black Country Orphan is a moving story of the courage and strength of women, by the Sunday Times bestselling author Annie Murray.The early 1900s: Cradley Heath, a town in the Black Country near Birmingham and centre of the world’s chain-making trade. Lucy Butler, a young girl crippled by a cruel accident, lives with her two brothers and widowed mother, a chain-maker barely making ends meet. When tragedy strikes, the Butler family is separated and Lucy is taken in by Bertha Hipkiss, another impoverished chain maker, struggling to look after her own family.Lucy, while feeling the loss of her own family, relies on the company of Bertha’s two sons, charming Clem and straight-laced John. Though clever at school, Lucy knows she must leave and earn her keep, working many hours in the backyard forge. The five women toiling side by side, inevitably have their own friendships and squabbles. But they’re united in their hatred of loathsome middleman Seth Dawson, who treats the women with contempt, and keeps their pay punishingly low. But by the 1910s, there is a movement stirring, as across the country workers begin unionising for their rights. For Lucy, Bertha and the women of Cradley Heath, the promise of a better life seems almost too much to hope for - and the fight may end up costing them everything . . .
