Tak, ako má kresťanstvo jedinečné postavenie medzi svetovými náboženstvami, rovnako jedinečná je aj milosť, ktorú ponúka Kristus. Niekedy ju lepšie ako cez definíciu zahliadneme v osobnom príbehu. Koniec koncov, samotná Biblia je jedným veľkým rozprávaním o milosti. EXISTUJE NEJAKÁ HRANICA, ZA KTORÚ NESIAHA BOŽIA MILOSŤ? Milosť je viac než len odpustenie hriechov – dáva nám zažiť, že sme Bohom prijatí a adoptovaní, obnovuje nádej tam, kde už žiadna nezostala, zasahuje aj do tých najpríšernejších okolností a dáva nám silu odpustiť ľuďom, ktorí nám zasadili tie najhlbšie rany – dokonca aj samým sebe. V Kauze milosť Lee Strobel ponúka prijateľné vysvetlenie teológie Božej milosti – môžeme ju vidieť v neuveriteľných, dramatických príbehoch ľudí, ktorým zmenila život. Na stránkach tejto knihy stretnete rasistov, závislých ľudí a dokonca vrahov, ktorí našli novú nádej a nový zmysel. Stretnete kedysi zatrpknutých ľudí, ktorým Boh dal silu odpustiť tým, ktorí im ublížili, a prečítate si aj rovnako úžasné príbehy ľudí, ktorí boli pohltení vinou, no vďaka Božej milosti našli silu odpustiť samým sebe. Lee Strobel pôsobil dlhé roky ako novinár The Chicago Tribune, kde pripravoval právnu rubriku. Je autorom série bestsellerov Kauza Kristus, Kauza viera, Kauza Stvoriteľ a Kauza zázraky. Je profesorom kresťanského myslenia na Houston Baptist University.

Dejú sa zázraky aj dnes?Dá sa odlíšiť šťastná náhoda od zázraku?Existuje Boh, ktorý koná zázraky?Prečo Boh nevyrieši všetky naše problémy nadprirodzeným spôsobom? Lee Strobel prichádza s obhajobou výskytu zázrakov a iných Božích zásahov v našom živote.Táto kniha premyslene spracováva a pokrýva celý rozsah témy od subjektívneho, empirického a anekdotického k objektívnemu, racionálnemu a teologickému. Postavím sa na odpor každému, kto aj po prečítaní knihy Kauza zázraky bude tvrdit, že zázraky neexistujú. Odporúčam ju všetkým, ktorí premýšľajú, či naozaj môžu spoznať, že Boh je skutočný a či aj dnes medzi nami pôsobí.ERIC METAXAS autor knihy Bonhoeffer Skeptici aj veriaci, ktokoľvek intelektuálne úprimný bude profitovať z tohto nepredpojatého pátrania po pravdepodobnosti výskytu zázrakov, ich významu a vplyvu na náš život.RICK WARREN autor knihy Život s jasným cieľom

On 9 January 2019, Lee Spencer, a disabled former Royal Marine, set out in a tiny rowing boat called Hope from the Southern Portuguese town of Portimao. He was hoping to become the fourth person in history to row solo and unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean, as well the first disabled person to complete the row and the fastest. After sixty days, sixteen hours and six minutes at sea, Lee rowed into the Mahury River estuary in Cayenne, South America, shattering the able-bodied record by an astonishing thirty-six days and became the world⠙s only physically disabled person, to break and hold an able-bodied record in an endurance event. Lee dreamed of one day being strong enough to face his father. He dreamed of becoming a Royal Marine. In 1992 he achieved his goal. Having served in the second Iraq War, Lee then volunteered for Special Duties and was one of only three out of 126 who eventually passed the course. He then completed three tours of Afghanistan as an agent handler. Then on a dark wintery night, Lee stopped to help at the scene of a motorway crash. Struck by debris when another car hit the scene, Lee came within a whisker of bleeding to death. He instructed a passer-by to stand on his groin when a makeshift torniquet wouldn⠙t work. Surgeons, though, could not save his leg. Unperturbed by becoming disabled, he learned to walk again, would row across the Atlantic with the world⠙s first physically disabled crew of four ⠓ with just three legs between them ⠓ to row any ocean and to embark on his epic solo journey. In The Rowing Marine Lee takes us on his epic solo voyage, as he relates his unparalleled life story, bringing the threads of his many experiences together.

The mostly true tale of Stan Lee, the one and only Godfather of Comics. From his childhood in Depression-era New York, to transforming Marvel into the number one comics publisher in the world, to his 21st-century reinvention as Chief Creative Officer of global entertainment company POW! Entertainment, Stan ?the Man? Lee stands the test of time as the most legendary name in comicbook history. Stanley Lieber began working at Timely Comics in 1940 at the age of 17 and found himself at the helm of the bullpen as its top editor just two years later.But it wasn?t until 1961 that he ignited a revolution known as the ?Marvel Age of Comics.? With a legendary stable of art partners including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Jim Steranko, Lee unleashed a dizzying cascade of seminal comicbook creations?the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers to name a few. After moving to Hollywood in 1980, he did it again, developing TV and film projects that laid the groundwork for the ?Marvel movie.? Stan?s constant cameo presence in these billion-dollar worldwide events was a testament to his influence. As the man behind POW! Entertainment, he became a master of all media?working with rock stars and professional sports leagues, movie mavens and reality TV shows?reinforcing his creative stature the world over.First published as a signed Collector?s Edition and sold out within a week, the book was written and edited with Lee himself. His tale is told by his successor at Marvel, renowned comics writer, editor, and historian Roy Thomas, who brings ?you are there? insights and wide-eyed clarity to key moments of Lee?s journey to pop culture immortality. Featuring hundreds of treasures of comicbook art, intimate photographs sourced straight from his family archives, a foreword written by Lee himself, a novel-length essay and new epilogue by Thomas, and an appendix with complete reprints of Stan?s comics from throughout the decades, this is a titanic tribute worthy of the Man.All Marvel characters are ?

I entered the church...It struck me suddenly that all this crowd of men and women standing all round, these priests chanting and moving about the altar, were dead...Vernon Lee was a polymath whose copious writings include deeply learned studies of art, music, literature, and history, but also a small but exquisitely crafted group of Gothic tales, most of which first appeared in fin de siècle periodicals including the iconic Yellow Book. In these stories of obsession and possession, transgressive desire reaches out from the past -- through a haunting portrait, a murdered poet s lock of hair, the uncanny voice of a diabolical castrato -- dragging Lee s protagonists to their doom. Among those haunted by Lee s spurious ghosts was Henry James, who praised her gruesome, graceful...ingenious tales, full of imagination .This new edition includes Lee s landmark 1890 collection Hauntings complete, along with six additional tales and the 1880 essay Faustus and Helena , in which Lee probes the elusive nature of the supernatural as a vital...fluctuating...potent force that resists definite representation. Aaron Worth s contextual introduction, drawing upon Lee s newly published letters, reassesses her place in the pantheon of the fantastic.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Lee Lawrence was just eleven when his mother, Cherry Groce, was shot by police during a raid on the family s south London home. It was an event that would spark a violent uprising and dominate his life for the next 30 years as he fought for justice and for the police to admit their wrongdoing.Along the way, Lee came across dozens of other cases, past and present, which made it clear that the racial prejudice and bias which resulted in his mother s shooting had been in place for many decades, impacting the lives of thousands of innocent people .Through a deeply researched and fast-moving narrative, Lee Lawrence seamlessly combines historical fact with his dramatic first-hand experiences of racial injustice to present vivid stories - from the Somali sailor who was wrongly convicted of murder in Cardiff in 1952 to the assault on professional footballer Dalian Atkinson and from the hounding of Notting Hill s Mangrove Club to Black Lives Matter - that chronicle how Britain s Black community has been mistreated.Though there remains much work to be done, Lee Lawrence is also an inspiring guide who highlights the many positive changes that have taken place and outlines those still needing to be enacted. Against the backdrop of the hard-learned lessons of years gone by, The Colour of Injustice also lays the foundation for a pathway to the future to move towards a truly anti-racist society.

He demonstrates how hero stories continue to shape our world ⠓ arguing that we need them now more than ever.From the Stone Age to the Greek Tragedies, from Shakespeare to Robin Hood, we have always had our heroes. The hero is at the centre of formative myths in every culture and persists to this day in world-conquering books, films and TV shows. But why do these characters continue to inspire us, and why are they so central to storytelling?Scalpel-sharp on the roots of storytelling and enlightening on the history and science of myth, The Hero is essential reading for anyone trying to write or understand fiction. Child teaches us how these stories still shape our minds and behaviour in an increasingly confusing modern world, and with his trademark concision and wit, demonstrates that however civilised we get, we⠙ll always need heroes.

In this New York Times bestseller, investigative journalist Lee Smith uses his unprecedented access to expose the deep state operation against President Donald J. Trump -- and the American people. The Plot Against the President tells the story of how Congressman Devin Nunes, while leading the House Intelligence Committee, uncovered the operation to bring down the commander-in-chief. While popular opinion holds that Russia subverted democratic processes during the 2016 elections, the real damage was done not by Moscow or any other foreign actor. Rather, this was a slow-moving coup engineered by a coterie of the American elite, the deep state, targeting not only the president, but also the rest of the country. The plot officially began July 31, 2016 with the counterintelligence investigation that the FBI opened to probe Russian infiltration of Donald Trump #39;s presidential campaign. But the bureau never followed any Russians. In fact, it was an operation to sabotage Trump, the candidate, then president-elect, and finally the presidency. The conspirators included political operatives, law enforcement and intelligence officials, and the press. The plot was uncovered by Nunes and his investigative team on the House Intelligence Committee. They understood that the target of the operation wasn #39;t just Trump, but rather the institutions that sustain our republic. A country where operatives use the intelligence and security services to protect their privileges by spying on Americans, coordinating with the press, and using extra-constitutional means to undermine an election then undo a presidency is more like the third world than the republic envisioned by the founding fathers. Without Nunes and his team, the plot against the president -- and against the country -- never would have been revealed. Told from the perspective of Nunes and his crack investigators -- men and women who banded together to do the right thing at a crucial moment for our democracy -- the story of the biggest political scandal in a generation reads like a great detective novel, feels like a classic cowboy movie. The congressman from the cattle capital of California really did fight corruption in Washington. Devin Nunes took on the deep state.

I tu nejprobádanější krajinu můžeme objevovat stále znovu a znovu. Naši krajinu domova máme krásně vymezenou zvláštní kruhovou hradbou pohraničních hor. Kotlina Čech, sevřená tímto prstencem, je do sebe uzavřeným světem, zatímco široké úvaly Moravy se naopak otevírají jako náruč. Člověk se v té krajině učil žít a hospodařit tak dlouho, až z ní vytvořil prostor, kterému sám pro sebe začal říkat Zahrádka. Krajinu domova vnímáme jako zemský ráj, o kterém se zpívá v naší hymně. Najdeme zde mnoho koutů, kde jedinečné kouzlo a nezaměnitelná poetika Zahrádky ožívá i dnes. V této knize se spolu s námi projdete krajinou Hustopečské pahorkatiny a Pálavy, Železných hor a Žďárských vrchů, Bílých Karpat, Jizerských hor a Krkonoš, Nízkého a Hrubého Jeseníku. Podíváme se i na místa, v nichž se otiskly vzpomínky na sopky – do Českého středohoří a Slavkovského lesa. Kniha navazuje na stejnojmenný úspěšný televizní pořad, který získal prestižní hlavní cenu Tourfilmu, mezinárodního festivalu filmů s cestovatelskou tematikou. Úchvatné fotografie doprovázejí texty vyzdvihující pozoruhodnosti české a moravské krajiny a dokreslují je působivé ilustrace. Vychází v trojjazyčné verzi – česky, anglicky a německy. Fotografie Michal Matuška a Pavel Vacek Ilustrace František Žáček ------------------------------ Even the most explored land can be rediscovered again and again. Our homeland is beautifully delimited by a special rounded wall of borderline mountains. The Czech Basin, enclosed in this mountainous ring, is a world wrapped up in itself, while the wide valleys of Moravia seem to open their arms. The man has been learning to live in this land and manage it for such a long time that he created a space the man himself named a small garden. We perceive our homeland as the Paradise on Earth, the one that is sung about in the national anthem. There are many places left in our country where its unique magic and its unmistakable poetics are still alive to these days. In this book you can join us for a walk in the country of the Hustopeče Downs and the Pálava, the Iron Mountains and the Žďár Heights, the White Carpathians, the Jizera Mountains and the Giant Mountains, the Nízký and the Hrubý Jeseník. We can also visit places where memories of volcanoes left their prints – the Central Bohemian Highlands and the Emperor’s Forest. The book is a follow-up to a successful TV series with the same name, which achieved the prestigious main prize of Tourfilm, an international festival of travel movies. Breath-taking photographs are accompanied by texts emphasizing Czech and Moravian regions and supplemented with impressive illustrations. Photos Michal Matuška end Pavel Vacek Illustrations František Žáček ----------------------------- Auch die meisterforschte Landschaft können wir immer wieder neu entdecken. Unsere Heimatlandschaft ist schön eingegrenzt durch den besonderen ringförmigen Wall der Grenzgebirge. Der von diesem Ring umschlossene böhmische Kessel ist eine in sich abgeschlossene Welt, während sich dagegen die weiten Täler Mährens öffnen wie ausgebreitete Arme. Der Mensch hat so lange in dieser Landschaft leben und wirtschaften gelernt, bis er einen Raum aus ihr gemacht hat, den er für sich selbst Garten zu nennen begann. Wir nehmen unsere Heimatlandschaft wie das Paradies auf Erden wahr, von dem in unserer Hymne gesungen wird. Es gibt in unserer Landschaft noch viele Ecken, wo ihr einzigartiger Zauber und unverwechselbare Poesie lebendig bis heute ist. In diesem Buch werden Sie mit uns durch die Landschaften des Auspitzer Hügellands und der Pollauer Berge, des Eisengebirges und der Saarer Berge, der Weißen Karpaten, des Isergebirges und des Riesengebirges, des Mährischen Gesenkes und des Hohen Gesenkes wandern. Wir werden auch Orte sehen, die Erinnerungen an Vulkane bergen: das Böhmische Mittelgebirge und den Kaiserwald. Das Buch knüpft an die gleichnamige erfolgreiche Fernsehsendung an, die den renommierten Hauptpreis von Tourfilm, dem internationalen Reisefilmfestival gewonnen hat. Die Texte, die das Bemerkenswerteste der böhmischen und mährischen Landschaften hervorheben, sind begleitet von hinreißende Fotos und eindrucksvollen Illustrationen.

I have had three great love affairs in my creative life: skateboarding, graffiti and industrial design. I started skateboarding when I was twelve, graffiti at sixteen, and industrial design at nineteen. I saw them as unrelated activities or disparate visual cultures, and I â “ somewhat myopically â “ felt that to be truly devoted to one, I had to set aside the others. Recently I have started to reconcile my past interests, seeing the connections between them, and how they have all informed my aesthetic values. Jonathan OlivaresJonathan Olivares was born in Boston in 1981 and graduated from Pratt Institute. In 2006 he established his practice, which is based in Los Angeles and works in the fields of industrial, spatial and communication design. His designs engage a legacy of form and technology, and ask to be used rather than observed. His clients include Vitra, Knoll Moros and Kvadrat. Olivaresâ ™ work has been published internationally, granted several design awards â ” including Italyâ ™s Compasso dâ ™Oro â “ and is included in the permanent design collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Los Angeles County Art Museum, The Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Vitra Design Museum.
