Living on high alert drains your energy and steals your joy. There is a better way and Seizing the Good Life will help you find it as it takes you through the Gospel of John.If our chaotic culture has left you drained of joy, here''s some good news: there is a way to get it back—and keep it.Let’s face it. Joy is becoming as scarce in our culture as fresh eggs at the grocery store. Constant headlines about one catastrophe after another, along with living in a society bent on erasing God from our consciousness, can leave us stressed out and working hard just to get by—far from the good life of abundant joy Jesus promised us.And yet, He did promise us that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. So how do we go about seizing the good life from the jaws of depression and hopelessness that threaten us now?Shellie Rushing Tomlinson has walked this path and knows the way. With the Gospel according to John as her roadmap—and plenty of personal stories, insights, and a healthy dollop of humor for good measure—she can help you not only rediscover the peace and joy found in friendship with Jesus, the Lover of your soul, but maintain it over the long haul.God never intended for you to hold on to a dry faith with chewed-up fingernails. You really can know peace and joy in the middle of our anxious and angry culture. A deep dive into this study will help you seize the good life once again.

#1 New York Times Bestselling AuthorStephanie Plum returns to hunt down a master cyber-criminal operating out of Trenton in the 28th book in the wildly popular series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich. When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen. And when she finds out the intruder is fellow apprehension agent Diesel, six feet of hard muscle and bad attitude whom she hasn’t seen in more than two years, she still thinks the gun might come in handy. Turns out Diesel and Stephanie are on the trail of the same fugitive: Oswald Wednesday, an international computer hacker as brilliant as he is ruthless. Stephanie may not be the most technologically savvy sleuth, but she more than makes up for that with her dogged determination, her understanding of human nature, and her willingness to do just about anything to bring a fugitive to justice.

Kniha představuje českému čtenáři nejznámější novozélandskou spisovatelku Janet Frameovou. Kniha obsahuje novelu Sněhuláku, sněhuláku a i soubor 24 povídek Laguna. Čtyřiadvacet povídek bylo napsáno na konci čtyřicátých let 20. století. V roce 1951, v době jejího prvního vydání, žila Janet Frameová v "péči" novozélandských psychiatrických léčeben, neboť u ní diagnostikovali schizofrenii. Tato její prvotina získala nejprestižnější novozélandské literární ocenění The Hubert Church Prose Award za rok 1951. V polovině 50. let jí na londýnské klinice sdělili, že schizofrenií netrpěla - je jen extrémně uzavřenou ženou. Frameová se pak na sedm let usadila v Británii. Je autorkou 11 románů, pěti povídkových sbírek a knihy veršů. Jak říká ve své slavné autobiografii: "Moje psaní mě zachránilo". Z autorčiny autobiografické trilogie vychází též film Anděl u mého stolu. Film získal na MFF Benátkách roku 1990 Zvláštní cenu poroty a cenu FIPRESCI. Obraznost její prózy má říz poezie, avšak necílí jen k estetickému účinku, hledá smysl, nevyhýbá se ironii, odloupává vrstvy nucených fasád - vytržení smyslů, jež je toho výsledkem, je přesto prosto ega či sebelítosti. Frameová umí čarovat z vod dětského světa, naznačit význam drobným detailem, svůj příběh vyřezává s mistrnou pečlivostí a on proto plyne, plyne k nepředvídanému.

Stephanie’s worst fears are confirmed when she gets a call from Connie’s abductor.

Unfortunately, this coin, which should be in the office—just like Connie—is nowhere to be found. The quest to discover the coin, learn its value, and save Connie will require the help of Stephanie’s Grandma Mazur, her best pal Lula, her boyfriend Morelli, and hunky security expert Ranger. As they get closer to unraveling the reasons behind Connie’s kidnapping, Connie’s captor grows more threatening and soon Stephanie has no choice but to throw caution to the wind, follow her instincts, and go rogue.

In 1999, Barholm Castle in Galloway had lain ruinous and derelict for over two hundred years when Janet Brennan-Inglis and her husband John bought it as a restoration project. Together with a team of architects, surveyors and builders, overseen by Historic Scotland, they turned this sixteenth-century tower house into a domestic residence once again – this time with central heating, bathrooms and a twenty-first-century kitchen. Since the restoration, they have researched the history of Barholm Castle and the McCulloch family who owned it; the stories they uncovered and the account of the painstaking restoration of Barholm Castle are told in this book.Having restored the tower, Janet and John turned their attention to the ground around it and set about developing a very special garden landscape. The third part of the book describes the process of transforming the wild area surrounding the castle into a series of mature gardens, providing a colourful and dramatic setting for the castle.

Christopher''s sister Janet has been relentlessly fighting for justice for decades, and fearlessly holds the UK''s state institutions to account in this extraordinary book.This book is a probing expose of what went on, based on exhaustive documentary evidence, as well as the personal story of Janet''s fight to uncover the truth.

Janet Pritchard’s romance with the American West began with horseback riding, watching movies, and hearing her dad’s dreams of being a cowboy. When she began to spend adolescent summers in Wyoming during the 1960s, her world changed forever, as she fell under the spell of natural wonder in the shadow of the Grand Tetons. Only later did she recognize her feelings as a response to what nineteenth-century Romantics called the sublime.A vintage 1916 picture postcard of Golden Gate Canyon by F. Jay Haynes inspired this project. When Pritchard turned it over and read the message – “I cannot describe the Yellowstone as the dictionary is only a book. It is more than scenery. In some places, it is so beautiful that the men take off their hats, and the women are silent!” – she was back in a childhood place of wonder tempered by a lifetime of work as an artist and teacher in landscape photography.Formed by fire and ice, embraced by a nation seeking an ancient past with a future as grand as the landscapes it inhabited, Yellowstone was established as the world’s first national park by an Act of Congress in 1872\. One hundred fifty years later, the park and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem continue to occupy an iconic role in the public imagination of Yellowstone as a place that is both real and ideal. Here, in this complex ecosystem where wild nature and culture meet, the complexities of our relationship to the natural world are revealed unlike any other place.Yellowstone is truly unique, and each generation who visits it invests Yellowstone with ideas, beliefs, and values reflecting its historical moment. In More than Scenery: Yellowstone, an American Love Story, Janet Pritchard surveys these relationships with her captivating photographs and insightful text, and Lucy R. Lippard’ sets the table with her heartfelt introduction to the world’s romance with Yellowstone. This book reveals why Yellowstone is so important to American and the world and how its landscapes reflect more than scenery.

Jako ženy žijeme v těsném spojení se svým tělem - skrze menstruaci, těhotenství, porod, mateřství a menopauzu. Každý z těchto přechodů nás v mnoha směrech změní a většinu z nich také oslavujeme. Menopauza však často v ženách vyvolá sklíčenost, jako kdyby naše těla byla poškozená nebo nedostačující, obzvlášť v oblasti sexuality a intimity. K menopauze můžete ale přistoupit také radikálně pozitivním způsobem, zaplaveny pocitem vitálního probuzení a znovu-zažehnutí ženské sexuality, kreativity a spirituality. Autorka několika bestsellerů o vědomém milování Diana Richardson a psychoterapeutka Janet McGeever, obě také učitelky tantry, vám ve své nejnovější knize vysvětlují, co můžete v menopauze očekávat na fyzické, emocionální a spirituální úrovni a co může znamenat pro partnerský vztah. Podrobně zde popisují tantrické techniky a cvičení, které vám pomohou spojit se s intuitivní moudrostí vašeho těla a srdce a pomohou vám osvobodit se od očekávání výkonu konvenčního sexu. Vysvětlují, v čem je tantra ženám v menopauze blízká a jak jejich těla přirozeně vstupují do tantričtější fáze zaměřené na kreativitu a spiritualitu. Prozkoumáte s nimi, jak se dá sex praktikovat nejen pro sex samotný, ale také pro zlepšení zdraví, vztahů, lepší sebeovládání, emocionální rovnováhu a k dosažení rozšířeného vědomí. Využijte menopauzu k prohloubení své důvěry v dokonalost fungování ženského těla a začněte prožívat skutečnou intimitu a hlubokou lásku na úrovni, která byla dosud nepředstavitelná.

Jedinečná biografie čerpající ze soukromých archivů královny detektivek Život a dílo Agathy Christie zpracovala řada autorů a sama královna detektivek vydala vlastní životopis, ale Janet Morganová získala něco podstatného navíc: nabídku přímo od Agathiny rodiny, aby sepsala „oficiální biografii“. Z důvěry, kterou jí Agathina dcera Rosalind projevila, vyplynul i exkluzivní přístup k Agathiným zápisníkům, korespondenci a dalším písemnostem, stejně jako rozhovory s početnými Agathinými příbuznými, přáteli a spolupracovníky. Výsledkem je obsáhlá a důkladná kniha, která se opírá především o citáty a svědectví jak samotné Agathy Christie, tak i těch, kteří k ní měli blízko. Čtenářům tak nabízí nové úhly pohledu na Agathinu osobnost, práci, rodinu, názory, zkušenosti – a možná dokonce i na ono pověstné jedenáctidenní zmizení... Kniha vyšla v Británii poprvé v roce 1984 a poté opakovaně znovu, naposledy v nově doplněné edici roku 2017. Nakladatelství Slovart se prvním českým vydáním této biografie připojuje k oslavám 130. výročí narození Agathy Christie.

Slavnou monografií o lidské komunikaci z roku 1967 se etablovala skupina psychologů a psychiatrů kolem Mental Research Institute v americkém Palo Altu. Knihu lze považovat za základní přehled tzv. komunikační psychoterapie. A tak se již dnes klasickou stala teze „nemůžeme nekomunikovat“ či předpoklad, že klient nemůže být léčen izolovaně, nýbrž jako součást systému, především rodiny. Autoři popisují, jak k patologii přispívají různé komunikační hry a paradoxy, operují s pojmy typu „dvojná vazba“, „digitální a analogová komunikace“, „metajazyk“. Role jazyka ve vztazích je demonstrována na rozboru divadelní hry Kdo se bojí Virginie Woolfové od Edwarda Albeeho. Nechybí propojení komunikační teorie s existenciální filozofií ani její aplikace v psychoterapeutické praxi. Paul Watzlawick (1921–2007) byl jedním z nejvýznamnějších představitelů terapeutické školy v kalifornském Palo Altu, která zkoumala vliv komunikace na patologii i psychoterapii. V češtině vyšly také další jeho knihy jako Úvod do neštěstí či Všechno dobré je k něčemu zlé. Janet Beavin Bavelas (1940–2022) působila jako profesorka psychologie na Univerzitě ve Victorii. Don D. Jackson (1920–1968) byl psychiatrem a zakladatelem a ředitelem paloaltoského institutu a profesorem na Stanfordově univerzitě.
