K jádru křesťanství - Clive Staples Lewis, C. S. Lewis
Vzdejte se sama sebe - a naleznete své skutečné já. Ztraťte svůj život - a naleznete jej. Denně přijímejte smrt, smrt svých ambicí a největších přání a nakonec i smrt svého těla, a naleznete věčný život. V době druhé světové války rozhlasová stanice BBC požádala C. S. Lewise, aby připravil sérii přednášek, které by vlily nový smysl do všech oblastí života dospělých lidí. Kniha K jádru křesťanství, v níž jsou obsaženy všechny texty těchto pořadů, je považována za nejpopulárnější a nejpřístupnější dílo C. S. Lewise. Připomíná nám to, co je v životě skutečně důležité, a ukazuje cestu k radosti a spokojenosti. Vydání k padesátému výročí vzniku tohoto titulu připomíná období, kdy C. S. Lewis v době války a nejistoty dokázal utěšit miliony lidí, ale jeho slova mají i dnes stejnou platnost a váhu jako tehdy…

Úvahy o žalmoch - Clive Staples Lewis
Toto nie je vedecká štúdia. Nie som hebraista ani biblický kritik, ani odborník na starovek či archeológ. Píšem pre nevzdelaných o veciach, v ktorých sám nemám vzdelanie. Ak sa treba nejako ospravedlniť (a asi áno) za to, že som sa pustil do písania takejto knihy, moje ospravedlnenie bude znieť približne takto: Často sa stáva, že dvaja školáci si dokážu nezrozumiteľné učivo navzájom vysvetliť lepšie, než by to dokázal učiteľ.Kniha Lewisových úvah nad vybranými žalmami prináša inšpirujúci pohľad na túto zbierku hebrejskej poézie a otvára pred čitateľom nové možnosti pohľadu na celú Knihu žalmov. Vracia jej to, na čo mnohí pozabudli, totiž že ide predovšetkým o poetické vyjadrenie vzťahu medzi človekom a Bohom. Táto práca je mnohými odborníkmi na texty Starého zákona odporúčaná ako jeden z najlepších komentárov ku Knihe žalmov. C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963) bol významným odborníkom na grécku a latinskú literatúru, filozofiu a históriu anglického jazyka. V roku 1954 sa stal profesorom stredovekej a renesančnej literatúry na Magdalen College Univerzity v Cambridgei. Bol výnimočným a obľúbeným prednášajúcim. Dlhé roky bol ateistom a svoje obrátenie ku kresťanstvu opísal v diele Zaskočený radosťou takto: "V aka-demickom roku 1929 som sa na Trinity College vzdal a uznal, že Boh je ...

Rady skúseného diabla - Clive Staples Lewis
Vo svojom klasickom diele nás C. S. Lewis zasväcuje do korešpondencie medzi dvoma diablami: skúseným Krutodlakom a jeho synovcom Svrabomilom. Krutodlak zastáva byrokratickú funkciu v pekelnej hierarchii a je mentorom neskúseného Svrabomila. Ten práve začína svoju démonickú kariéru v službách „Otca v Hlbinách“ a bol poverený, aby odviedol nového kresťana – “pacienta” – od viery a povzbudil ho k hriechu. Kniha satirickým spôsobom poukazuje na mnohé bežné problémy ľudského života a kresťanskej viery, ako je otázka dobra a zla, pokušenia, pokánia a milosti. Krutodlak a Svrabomil žijú vo svojom morálne prevrátenom svete, kde je chamtivosť a dosiahnutie vlastného prospechu najväčšou hodnotou. Démoni nie sú schopní porozumieť tajomstvu Božej lásky k ľuďom alebo pripustiť možnosť nezištných ľudských cností. Nové vydanie obsahuje v slovenčine doteraz nepublikovanú autorovu esej o knihe.

Out of the Gobi - Weijian Shan
Foreword by Janet Yellen Weijian Shan's Out of the Gobi is a powerful memoir and commentary that will be one of the most important books on China of our time, one with the potential to re-shape how Americans view China, and how the Chinese view life in America. Shan, a former hard laborer who is now one of Asia's best-known financiers, is thoughtful, observant, eloquent, and brutally honest, making him well-positioned to tell the story of a life that is a microcosm of modern China, and of how, improbably, that life became intertwined with America. Out of the Gobi draws a vivid picture of the raw human energy and the will to succeed against all odds. Shan only finished elementary school when Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution tore his country apart. He was a witness to the brutality and absurdity of Mao's policies during one of the most tumultuous eras in China's history. Exiled to the Gobi Desert at age 15 and denied schooling for 10 years, he endured untold hardships without ever giving up his dream for an education. Shan's improbable journey, from the Gobi to the "People's Republic of Berkeley" and far beyond, is a uniquely American success story ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Journeys Out of the Body - Robert A. Monroe
When, unpredictably and against his will, Robert Monroe began to have out-of-body experiences, he was frightened and disbelieving. He found that he could leave his physical body to places far removed from the material and spiritual realities of life on earth. He came to inhabit a world unbounded by death or time. As Robert Monroe met many other people who have had similar experiences and read the literature of the East that documents the long history of this phenomenon, his fears were alleviated. His journeys became more frequent and began to change his life. This classic, first-hand account of out-of-body experiences challenges us to revise our ideas about life and death. Robert Monroe's step-by-step instructions invite the reader to initiate their own out-of-body experiences.

They also suffer from ongoing trauma wrought by the AIDS epidemic, something that is all too often relegated to history.Drawing on a lifetime''s work as a clinical psychologist, Walt Odets uses the stories of his patients as well as those of his own deep relationships with other gay men to illuminate how these difficulties may be overcome.

Do you feel guilt and shame about negative thoughts and emotions and your inability to overcome them? Bestselling author and pastor Chris Hodges helps those struggling with depression find liberating solutions by drawing from the life of the prophet Elijah.You might be asking, Should a Christian even be having these struggles?Depression is the number one health issue in the world today, yet those who suffer are still sometimes stigmatized—especially followers of Jesus. Many assume God''s peace, power, and protection should prevent us from ever feeling anxious, depressed, and afraid. But the Bible teaches otherwise, particularly in its depiction of the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah.In Out of the Cave, Chris Hodges uses Elijah''s life to show us that everyone is susceptible to depression. Even when we''re walking closely with God, we can still stumble and get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions.

Paths out of the Apocalypse - Ota Konrád, Rudolf Kučera
Paths out of the Apocalypse uses violence as a prism through which to investigate the profound social, cultural, and political changes experienced by (post-) Habsburg Central Europe during and immediately after the Great War. It compares attitudes toward, and experiences and practices of, physical violence in the mostly Czech-speaking territories of Bohemia and Moravia, the German-speaking territories that would constitute the Republic of Austria after 1918, and the mostly German-speaking region of South Tyrol. Based on research in national and local archives and copious secondary literature, the study argues that, in the context of total war, physical violence became a predominant means of conceptualizing and expressing social-political demands as well as a means of demarcating various notions of community and belonging. The authors apply an interdisciplinary understanding of violence informed by sociological and psychological theories as well as by rigorous empirical historiographical approach. First, they examine the most severe kind of physical violence - murder - against the backdrop of shifting scientific and media discourses during the war and its immediate aftermath. Second, the authors use numerous cases of collective violence, ranging from less serious everyday conflicts to massive hunger demonstrations and riots, to unravel its ''language'', thus deciphering the ...

Out of the Past
“Come inside, my bonny witch-finder. Here is shelter for thee…” A tale of callous murder and deranged revenge rings out from fifteenth century Italy. A witch-finder’s great triumph is also the herald of his own doom in sixteenth-century Britain. A prisoner’s fate at the hands of the Inquisition in seventeenth-century Mexico leads to an encounter with the bestial and bizarre beneath the waves. Readers and writers have been fascinated with the past long before the term ‘historical fiction’ became recognized as its own genre of writing. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, tellers of strange tales saw the weird potential in setting stories within the realms of previous centuries, and the chance to evoke terrors throughout time. Summoning eleven stories chosen for their uncanny portrayals of weird history, this collection presents a dark timeline of grim visions harking from plague-racked England to revolutionary France and culminating in the last gasps of the nineteenth century. Including stories by the greatest writers of history-turned-horrifying such as Marjorie Bowen, Frederick Cowles, Vernon Lee and the lost genius Vincent O’Sullivan, this volume is capped by two of Aaron Worth’s own tales of Victorian macabre alongside a chiller evoking M.

Out of the Ordinary - Jon Ronson
Out of the Ordinary is Jon Ronson at his inimitable best: hilarious, thought-provoking and with an unerring eye for human frailty – not least his own.Jon Ronson''s subjects have included people who believe that goats can be killed by the power of a really hard stare, and people who believe that the world is ruled by twelve-foot lizard-men. In Out of the Ordinary, a collection of his journalism from the Guardian, he turns his attention to irrational beliefs much closer to home, investigating the ways in which we sometimes manage to convince ourselves that all manner of lunacy makes perfect sense – mainstream, domestic, ordinary insanity. Whether he finds himself promising his son that he will be at his side for ever, dressed in a Santa costume, or trying to understand why hundreds of apparently normal people would suddenly start speaking in tongues in a Scout hut in Kidderminster, he demonstrates repeatedly how we all succumb to deeply irrational beliefs that grow to inform our everyday existence.
