Shute - Richard Thorn
Nevil Shute was a writer whose books were frequently looked down on by literary critics and yet when he died in 1960 he was one of the best selling novelists of his day. Today, books such as A Town Like Alice and On the Beach continue to attract new generations of fans. However there was more to Shute than his books, a great deal more. Richard Thorn explores Shute’s personal and professional life, drawing from extensive research carried out using archives and sources in the UK, USA and Australia. Nevil Shute Norway began his professional life as an aeronautical engineer working on the outskirts of London for the newly established de Havilland Aircraft Company. He quickly went on to play a key role in Britain’s ill-fated and final airship programme, before co-founding an aircraft manufacturing company at the height of an economic depression. All the while, using the pseudonym Nevil Shute, he spent his time writing for relaxation in the evenings. After the Second World War, he flew a single-engined aeroplane to Australia and back in search for new material for his novels. Fascinated by the new world that he had seen, the novelist sold up and moved his family ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Pastoral Friendship - Brian Croft, Michael A. G. Haykin, James B. Carroll
Friendship is a need that touches the deepest parts of the human soul. This is especially true in ministry. It is a need that is not simply rooted in enjoyment and companionship, but in the necessity to care well of one’s soul and survive a long–term ministry. This book seeks to persuade every modern pastor of the essential need of friendship. And not just any friendship, but a close, personal, intimate, and sacrificial pastor–to–pastor friendship that regularly turns each other’s gaze to Jesus. Friends and pastors, Michael Haykin, Brian Croft and James Carroll examine portraits of friendship in scripture and church history, before exhorting readers to modern pastoral friendships.

Pastoral Confessions - Jamin Goggin
Discover how personal vulnerability to revitalize your soul, ministry, and church· A timely and unexpectedly honest exploration of pastoral sin· Learn to identify the root causes of pastoral sin, embrace the practice of confession, and find healing in forgiveness· Helps pastors maintain an open and honest relationships with themselves, God, an their congregations to facilitate repentance and restorationMany pastors are tempted to conceal their sin rather than risk vulnerability or disqualification from ministry. But this is spiritually dangerous, for both the pastor and the church. Unconfessed sin leads to guilt, shame, exhaustion, and loneliness. Instead, God invites pastors to confess, repent, and be healed, just like every other Christian.With great vulnerability and refreshing honesty, Jamin Goggin writes of those temptations and sins that uniquely plague the pastoral vocation. He shows pastors how to integrate regular confession to God and others, leading to a more hopeful, fruitful, and virtuous life and ministry."Especially timely and profoundly needed."--Rick Warren, Great Commission ally and author of The Purpose Driven Life and The Purpose Driven Church"I can''t remember the last time I read a book so convicting."--Collin Hansen, vice president for content and editor in chief of The Gospel Coalition "This is more than just ...

Nothing is behaving as it should, sending nature into an increasing state of flux.In Forecast, Shute travels all over Britain tracing the history of the seasons, and discovering the extent to which we are now growing disconnected from them.

American Pastoral (9780099771814)
Kniha - anglicky In American Pastoral, Philip Roth gives us a novel of unqualified greatness that is an elegy for all the twentieth century's promises of prosperity, civic order, and domestic bliss. Roth's protagonist is Seymour 'Swede' Levov - a legendary high school athlete, a devoted family man, a hard worker, the prosperous inheritor of his father's Newark glove factory - comes of age in thriving, triumphant post-war America. And then one day in 1968, Swede's beautiful American luck deserts him. For Swede's adored daughter, Merry, has grown from a loving, quick-witted girl into a sullen, fanatical teenager - a teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism. And overnight Swede is wrenched out of the longed-for American pastoral and into the indigenous American berserk. Compulsively readable, propelled by sorrow, rage, and a deep compassion for its characters, this is Roth's masterpiece.A wide-ranging and characteristically perceptive...

American Pastoral - Philip Roth
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZEPhilip Roth’s masterpiece provides a piercing look into the promises of prosperity, civic order and domesticity in twentieth century America ‘Swede’ Levov is living the American dream. He glides through life cocooned by his devoted family, his demanding yet highly rewarding (and lucrative) business, his sporting prowess, his good looks. He is the embodiment of thriving, post-war America, land of liberty and hope. Until the sunny day in 1968, when the Swede’s bountiful American luck deserts him.The tragedy springs from devastatingly close to home. His adored daughter, Merry, has become a stranger to him, a fanatical teenager capable of an outlandishly savage act of political terrorism that plunges the Levov family into the political mayhem of sixties America, and drags them into the underbelly of a seemingly ascendant society. Rendered powerless by the shocking turn of events, the Swede can only watch as his pastoral idyll is methodically torn apart. Extraordinarily nuanced and poignant, American Pastoral is the first in an eloquent trilogy of post-war American novels and cemented Roth’s reputation as one of the greatest American novelists of the twentieth century.‘Full of insight, full of sharp ironic twists, full of wisdom about American idealism, and ...

English Pastoral - Rebanks James
THE SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEARThe new bestseller from the author of The Shepherd''s Life''A beautifully written story of a family, a home and a changing landscape'' Nigel Slater As a boy, James Rebanks''s grandfather taught him to work the land the old way. Their family farm in the Lake District hills was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, of pastures grazed with livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. And yet, by the time James inherited the farm, it was barely recognisable. The men and women had vanished from the fields; the old stone barns had crumbled; the skies had emptied of birds and their wind-blown song. English Pastoral is the story of an inheritance: one that affects us all. It tells of how rural landscapes around the world were brought close to collapse, and the age-old rhythms of work, weather, community and wild things were lost. And yet this elegy from the northern fells is also a song of hope: of how, guided by the past, one farmer began to salvage a tiny corner of England that was now his, doing his best to restore the life that had vanished and ...

Last One Out Shut Off the Lights
"A lightning bolt of a literary debut." ---Adam Johnson, Pulitzer Prize winner"Enchanting and so neatly planed they feel made by time, these stories mark the debut of a writer to watch." ---John Freeman, Literary HubLast One Out Shut Off the Lights is an evocative portrait of the last-chance towns of southwest Louisiana, where oil development, industrial pollution, dying wetlands, and the ever-present threat of devastating hurricanes have eroded their inhabitants'' sense of home. These eleven piercing stories feature indelible characters struggling to find a foothold in a world that is forever washing out from under them, people who must reckon with their ambivalence about belonging to a place so continually in flux. In a collection whose resonant echoes abound, we meet a reluctant teenage mother who stows her baby in a closet to steal a night out; a spiteful retiree who sabotages his neighbor in the wake of a hurricane; a Pentecostal singer in a children''s theater company who confronts the cultish leader of her troupe; a community of elderly Cajuns who conspire with a family of Sudanese immigrants to hide an escaped cow from the authorities; and a desperate young woman who tries to drag her brother to Mexico ...

Čtyřdílná sklářská kronika vrcholí válkami o rakouské dědictví. Skářství začíná upadat, ale členům rodu Heřmanů se otevírají nové možnosti podnikání. Čtyřdílná kronika vypráví o osudech severočeského podnikatelského rodu Heřmanů od konce 17. století až do zrušení nevolnictví na sklonku 18. století. Životní peripetie členů rodu, kteří se stanou sklářskými a textilními podnikateli, umělci, úředníky i učenci, se prolínají s příběhy rázovitých severočeských postav - hraběcím rodem Kinských, sloupskými poustevníky, polevskými a šenovskými obchodníky, členy tajných evangelických sekt, jezuity i rozmanitými císařskými úředníky a kněžími. V závěrečném dílu tetralogie se vrací Falknovská huť částečně zpět do vlastnictví rodu Heřmanů. Severočeskému sklářství se ale už nedaří tak dobře jako dřív a tak musí jednotliví členové rodu hledat nové možnosti podnikání. Matyáš zůstává u svého potulného jarmarečního obchodování, zatímco jeho bratr Ambrož pokračuje ve sklářské rodinné tradici na vlastní Akátové huti. Nejlépe si však vede jejich sestra Vilemína, která těží z rozmachu plátenictví. Jako bohatá majitelka bělidla získává vliv na kamenickém panství, a to i díky svému synovi, jehož utajeným otcem je hrabě Kinský. Stejně tak úspěšnou podnikatelkou ...

Elektronická kniha - autor Oldřich Antonín Hostaša, 72 stran, česky Oldřich Antonín Hostaša je železničářem tělem i duší. V jeho básnické tvorbě se to proto hemží vlaky, kolejemi a slangem ajznboňáků. Zatímco předchozí knihy přinášely převážně alegorické příběhy spojené s železnicí, „Ajznboňské pastorále“ nás přenesou přímo do autorova vlastního příběhu, do doby jeho začátků na dráze.

Rumunské pastorále (978-80-87193-06-8)
Kniha - autor Vít Čenovský, 104 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá V životě se každý člověk ocitne jednou za čas na rozcestí. Častokrát váhá a nemůže se rozhodnout kudy a kam se vydat. Přemýšlí, dumá a přešlapuje na místě. Někdy pomůže k rozhodnutí malá informace nebo poskytnutí rady kolemjdoucího. Kniha Rumunské pastorále by měla rozhodování ulehčit všem, kteří ještě váhají a zvažují, zda se do Rumunska vydat či nikoliv. Měla by přispět ke kladnému rozhodnutí těch, kteří rádi vymění jistotu západního cestovatelského blahobytu za mírnou nejistotu balkánského typu. Odměnou jim budou zážitky z nádherné a neporušené přírody, kde žijí sice chudší, ale o to upřímnější lidé s otevřeným srdcem. Přijměte naše pozvání, nasedněte na svá kola a posuďte sami. Inspirací vám budiž tento „inspiromat“, ve kterém najdete skoro třicet cyklistických tras, jejichž absolvování vám usnadní speciálně nakreslené mapky.

Celostná a pastorálna medicína - Teodor Rosinský
Pojem celostnej medicíny sa síce neobjavuje len v odbornej literatúre, ale jeho ponímanie je veľmi rozmanité. Autor sa v tejto knihe pokúsil sprístupniť čitateľovi kompletnejší obraz možností vývoja takéhoto preniknutia medicíny na jednej strane rozšírením prostriedkov a postupov, a na druhej strane pochopenia, že každý človek je jednotlivcom a teda aj jeho choroby sú individuálne poznamenané a preto potrebujú individuálny prístup k ich liečbe. Pastorálna medicína sa nepočíta ako súčasť celostnej medicíny, pretože jej podstata spočíva nie v liečbe, ale v umožnení účinkov liečby vôbec v prípadoch, kde nie len psychické, ale aj duchovné problémy jednotlivcov bránia možnosti plnohodnotného života a tým aj úplnej úprave zdravotného stavu. Knižka sa snaží objasniť i bežnému čitateľovi tieto zložité javy v oboch týchto oblastiach. O autorovi: MUDr. Teodor Rosinský, CSc., je známy slovenský lekárpsychiater, filozof, polyglot a psychotronik, priekopník akupunktúry na Slovensku a zakladateľ energoinformačnej medicíny o ktorej prednášal aj v Nemecku a Rakúsku. Okrem vlastnej práce lekára sa venoval aj pedagogickej činnosti – až do r. 2005 vyučoval na Univerzite Konštantína Filozofa v Nitre neurofyziológiu a psychiatriu pre psychológov a sociálnych pracovníkov, organizuje kurzy energoinformačnej medicíny, biodiagnostiky a bioterapie pre lekárov a liečiteľov (najmä homeopatov), v SR aj v ČR, a pôsobí ...

Alternative Pastoral Prayers - Tess Ward
This book is intended as a supplement to Common Worship Pastoral Services which provides liturgies for use in ministry to the sick – distribution of communion, emergency baptism, laying on of hands and anointing. Many hospital chaplains find their services are needed in other acute situations and often by people who have no church connection or knowledge of religious language. Here chaplains need to improvise. This practical volume draws on the experience of numerous clergy and chaplains and provides tried and tested liturgies in accessible language for a wider range of occasions. Prayers are included for - occasions surrounding birth: thanksgiving, baby blessing and naming, emergency baptism, prayers for a stillborn child- healing rites: communion, anointing, laying on of hands, confession and reconciliation - marriage in hospital, blessing of a civil union, affirmation of a relationship - prayers for every stage of a hospital stay – on receiving a diagnosis, before an operation, when life support is withdrawn- occasions surrounding the death of infants, children and adults

Spiritual, Ethical, and Pastoral Aspects of Death and Bereavement - Gerry Cox, Ronald Fundis
This collection of previously unpublished essays addresses a wide range of topics relevant to the on-going debates regarding dying and death and the subtleties, nuances, and complexities accompanying these phenomena. The authors have attempted to contribute their experiences, insights, and research results to clarify rather than obfuscate. Topic coverage is broad; however, content depth is not sacrificed. The diversity of authors'' backgrounds, both geographical and disciplinary, also serves to make this volume unique. The chapters in this volume offer a substantial contribution in assisting care-givers in arriving at acceptable ethical positions in their pastoral, counseling, medical, and mortician roles.

Shut up Legs! - Jens Voigt
Push until it hurts, then push some moreEven by the standards of a sport that requires enormous stamina and capacity for suffering, Jens Voigt is in a class on his own. Beloved by cycling fans for his madcap one-man breakaways as much as his sense of humour and quotable catchphrases, Jens is one of the most popular personalities in cycling.Jens was born near Hamburg, and came up through the East German system before the Wall came down. He got into the national team through the German army, before signing for his first big team. In many ways he is cycling’s anti-star; despite arguably spending more time at the front of the Tour de France than any other rider he has only worn the yellow jersey twice as his efforts have always been in the service of others.Jens embodies the best of cycling’s qualities – loyalty to his team, sacrifice, and devotion to the sport. He says, ‘I’m not a head person, I’m more of a heart and guts guy. That’s how I race.’ Shut Up Legs is a funny, insightful and entertaining look at the tough realities of professional cycling, told in Jens’s trademark irreverent and inimitable style.

A Shadow Above - Joe Shute
For millennia, we have tried to explain ourselves using the raven as a symbol. It occupies a unique place in British history and has left an indelible mark on our cultural landscape.The raven’s hulking black shape has come to represent many things: death, all-seeing power, the underworld, and a wildness that remains deep within us. Legend has it that the fate of the nation rests upon the raven, and should the resident birds ever leave the Tower of London then the entire kingdom will fall. While so much of our wildlife is vanishing, ravens are returning to their former habitats after centuries of exile, moving back from their outposts at the very edge of the country, to the city streets from which they once scavenged the bodies of the dead. In A Shadow Above, Joe Shute follows ravens across their new hunting grounds, examining our complicated and challenging relationship with these birds. He meets people who live alongside the raven in conflict and peace, unpicks their fierce intelligence, and ponders what the raven’s successful return might come to symbolise for humans in the dark times we now inhabit.
