A new generation is going to church. But is the church ready?Church consultant and researcher, Thom Rainer, believes God is at work in this generation, and he believes that this moment in time has created unique opportunities for churches to grow, thrive, and revive.The culture is at inflection point. Nearly two-thirds of Gen Zers reported experiencing at least one mental health problem in the past two years. This statistic was lower for all older generations, including Millennials (51%), Gen Xers (29%) and Boomers (14%). Gen Z is the loneliest generation of Americans, lacking deep relationships and offline connection. Sixty-eight percent of Gen Z feel like nobody knows them well. That is one reason why this generation is called the anxious generation. Researchers have identified everything from social media to pandemic lockdowns as the prime culprit of why Gen Z is struggling with issues like mental illness more than other generations.Thom Rainer views the church as God’s Plan A for helping this generation discover their true calling and thrive in a purposeful and genuine faith community. In this book, Thom explores research that reveals that the anxious generation is yearning for meaningful community and is waiting to be invited in.The Anxious ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Hudební CD - Debut Thoma Artwaye bez debat aspiruje na albové překvapení roku. Vyzrálý pěvecký projev, pregnantně vystavěné písně, instrumentální zručnost a technická kvalita alba vzbuzuje v posluchači pochyby, zda jde skutečně o domácí nahrávku. Bez nadsázky lze říct, že se Thom Artway může směle postavit po bok vyzrálým písničkářským osobnostem anglosaské hudební scény. Na albu nemohou chybět zmíněné hity I Have No Inspiration a Blind Man.

A celebration of the Radiohead albums Kid A and Amnesiac, this book showcases more than 300 color artworks. It features a dialogue between Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood about the creative process and a specially commissioned essay, Kid Alphabet by Gareth Evans about Radiohead’s body of work.Whilst these records were being conceived, rehearsed, recorded and produced, Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood made hundreds of images. These ranged from obsessive, insomniac scrawls in biro to six-foot-square painted canvases, from scissors-and-glue collages to immense digital landscapes. They utilized every medium they could find, from sticks and knives to the emerging digital technologies.The work chronicles their obsessions at the time: minotaurs, genocide, maps, globalization, monsters, pylons, dams, volcanoes, locusts, lightning, helicopters, Hiroshima, show homes and ring roads. What emerges is a deeply strange portrait of the years at the commencement of this century.

With an illuminating new preface by Colm Tóibín, here is Thom Gunn''s extraordinary memorial to love, life and death in the time of the AIDS crisisThe Man With Night Sweats, originally published in 1992, sees Thom Gunn writing at the height of his powers. The collection begins with poems that celebrate love and sex and bodies – whether the exuberance of a swimming otter, the nimble moves of a tow-headed skateboarder or the habituated coming together of two old lovers. In devastating contrast, the poems in the last section are unflinching portraits and accounts of the illness and deaths of friends during the AIDS epidemic. Written out of a lifetime’s experience of perfecting his art, these poems are unsurpassed in elegiac intensity and among the most poignant responses to those terrible times.''Gunn has risen to his inescapable new subject with verse of quiddity, depth and terrible truthfulness.'' Financial Times''Elegies as unblinking and heartfelt as anything he has written.'' The Times

Thom Jones’s magnificent collection of stories presents a brutal and authentic vision of the human condition, in a world without mercy or redemption. The Pugilist at Rest gives us an America of Vietnam vets and ex-boxers, of bitter lovers in trailer parks, of lives passing in brilliant epileptic flickers. These ferocious, semi-autobiographical stories form the debut collection by a distinctive and hugely talented writer. Thom Jones was discovered as a writer relatively late in life, in his forties, by the fiction editors at the New Yorker, who published many of Jones’s stories from the early 1990s onwards. The title story of this collection went on to win the O. Henry Award for Best Short Story.

One of Shakespeare’s late plays rewritten in contemporary language.  In her modern translation of Cymbeline, Andrea Thome takes up one of Shakespeare’s most complex plays. Thome’s update brings the play’s language into the present, highlighting new resonances and providing a more accessible version of Shakespeare’s play for today’s audiences. One of Shakespeare’s final plays, Cymbeline tells the story of the British king Cymbeline and his daughter, Imogen. It is a tale of deceit and jealousy, with accusations of infidelity that often draw comparisons to Othello and The Winter’s Tale. This translation of Cymbeline was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of “The Bard” in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare’s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print—a new First Folio for a new era.

Konečně vychází první německý překlad populárního černého románu Vítězslava Nezvala. Mladá Valerie prožívá své dospívání jako pohádkovou báseň o upírech a zázračných zahradách. Hrdinně proniká tajemnými sklepeními, zachraňuje svého milovaného jinocha, mění se v obláček a uniká před upálením na hranici. Svazek obsahuje německý doslov o poetismu a surealismu, o paralelách Valerie s Nezvalovou autobiografickou knížkou Sexuální Nocturno a o vlivu „černých románů“ 19. století. Karla Cikánová přispěla decentně surrealistickými ilustracemi Endlich erscheint die erste deutsche Übersetzung des populären Schauerromans von Vítězslav Nezval. Die junge Valerie erlebt ihr Erwachsenwerden wie ein Märchengedicht über Vampire und zauberhafte Gärten. Heldenhaft dringt sie durch geheimnisvolle Kellergewölbe, rettet ihren geliebten Jüngling, verwandelt sich in ein Wölkchen und flieht vor dem Feuertod auf dem Scheiterhaufen. Der Band enthält ein Nachwort über den Poetismus und den Surrealismus, über die Parallelen des vorliegenden Romans zu Nezvals autobiographischem Büchlein Sexuelles Nocturno und über den Einfluss der Schauerromane des 19. Jahrhunderts. Vítězslav Nezval (1900–1958), einer der einflussreichsten tschechischen Dichter der Zwischenkriegszeit, war Mitbegründer des Poetismus und der tschechoslowakischen Surrealistischen Gruppe. Der vorliegende Roman, verfasst 1935, publiziert 1945, diente 1970 als Vorlage für den berühmten gleichnamigen Film von Jaromil Jireš.

These contributions from the public touch on avian ecology; the lore and language of birds; their myths, the art and literature they have inspired; birds as food; and the crucial role they play in our sense of place and the changing seasons.Birds Britannica took eight years to research and was assembled by a team that included some of the finest writers and image-makers of British wildlife.
