Mystici a zenoví mistři - Thomas Merton
O Thomasi Mertonovi se mluví jako o jednom z oněch vzácných západních mozků, kteří se v zenu cítili zcela doma. V této knize pojednává o různých náboženských koncepcích - raném mnišství, ruské pravoslavné spiritualitě, Shakerech, zen-buddhismu, a to s charakteristickou západní přímostí. Merton nejen studoval tato náboženství zvenčí, ale uchopil je empatií a živou účastí zevnitř. Všechny kapitoly, napsal Merton, spojuje jeden ústřední zájem: porozumět různým způsobům, jak lidé různých tradic koncipovali význam a metodu cesty , která vede k nejvyšším úrovním náboženského či metafyzického vědomí . Thomas Merton (1915-1968) byl americký trapistický mnich, spisovatel, teolog, mystik, básník, sociální aktivista a badatel v oboru srovnávacího náboženství. V roce 1949 byl vysvěcen na kněze a dostal jméno otec Louis . Byl členem opatství Panny Marie Getsemanské poblíž Bardstownu v Kentucky, kde žil od roku 1941 do své smrti. Merton napsal více než 50 knih, desítky esejů a recenzí. Stal se velkým zastáncem mezináboženského porozumění, propagoval dialog s významnými asijskými duchovními osobnostmi - dalajlamou, japonským spisovatelem D. T. Suzukim, thajským buddhistickým mnichem Buddhadasou či vietnamským mnichem Thich Nhat Hanhem. Psal o zen-buddhismu, konfucianismu, taoismu a o jejich souvislosti s křesťanstvím, což bylo v jeho době ve Spojených státech velmi neobvyklé, zejména v rámci náboženských řádů.

Nová semena kontemplace - Thomas Merton
Nová semena kontemplace jsou jednou z nejčtenějších a nejoblíbenějších knih Thomase Mertona. Křesťané i nekřesťané chválí Mertona jako pozoruhodného pokračovatele meditativní tradice sv. Jana od Kříže, Oblaku nevědění a středověkých mystiků, ve Spojených státech se Merton často srovnává s Thoreauem. Nová semena kontemplace se snaží probudit spící vnitřní hloubky ducha, který západní člověk tak dlouho zabíjí, usilovat o hluboce kontemplativní a mystický rozměr v našich životech. Pro Mertona „každý okamžik a každá událost života jakéhokoli člověka na zemi zasazuje něco do jeho duše. Stejně jako vítr nese tisíce okřídlených semen, tak s sebou každý okamžik nese zárodky duchovní vitality, které nepozorovaně spočinou v mysli a vůli člověka. Větší část z těchto nesčetných semen zahyne a ztratí se, protože lidé nejsou ochotni je přijmout: semena jako jsou tato nemohou totiž vzejít jinde než v půdě svobody, spontánnosti a lásky.“

The Seven Deadly Sins and Seven Heavenly Virtues - Ed Simon
A captivating artistic and philosophic exploration of humankind’s complex moral codes A companion piece to Pandemonium: A Visual History of Demonology and Elysium: A Visual History of Angelology, Seven Sins and Seven Virtues will complete this moral trilogy and finally consider God’s most enigmatic of creations: None of the conundrums of metaphysics are as baroque as the motivations of the human soul. Unlike the devils condemned to perdition and the angels compelled to paradise, humans are divine creatures that house within them warring impulses.Seven Sins and Seven Virtues will examine the literary, philosophical, theological, and most of all artistic expressions of the seven deadly sins and their respective seven cardinal virtues, drawing upon millennia of history to gather a compendium of humanity at its best and its worst. As a volume, the book will explore the Manichean nature of the human animal in all of its grandeur and canker, motivated by the faith that tales of damnation and salvation are the only stories that are ultimately worth telling.

Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins - Billy Graham
Freedom From The Seven Deadly Sins is a concise yet powerful exploration of the human condition through the lens of Scripture. Originally adapted from Billy Graham s impactful radio sermons, the book dives deeply into the seven cardinal sins--pride, anger, envy, impurity, gluttony, laziness, and greed. Graham unpacks each sin with clarity and compassion, illustrating its damaging effects on individuals and society. The book doesn t just diagnose these spiritual maladies; it offers actionable steps, rooted in biblical wisdom, for overcoming these destructive patterns and embracing God s transformative grace.The resurgence of interest in topics like morality, spirituality, and self-help creates fertile ground for revisiting the concept of the seven deadly sins. Current trends reveal: Moral Anxiety: In a world grappling with rapid cultural shifts, many seek a moral compass to navigate issues like greed, vanity, and anger.Renewed Interest in Ancient Wisdom: Platforms like podcasts, blogs, and social media are reviving interest in traditional virtues and vices, often using secularized or philosophical approaches.Mental Health Focus: Pride, envy, and anger frequently appear as underlying factors in discussions on anxiety, depression, and relational breakdowns.The book s straightforward, biblically grounded approach makes it accessible for a wide range of readers, but the deeper philosophical and theological reflections are likely to resonate more strongly with adults who are at a stage of life where they are engaging with their spiritual journey in a meaningful way.This book is perfect for:Readers seeking spiritual growth and clarity amidst modern moral dilemmas.Faith-based counselors and church leaders looking for discussion material.Individuals who feel burdened by guilt and seek a redemptive path forward.By blending biblical truth with relatable insights, Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins equips readers to break free from the snares of sin and step into the abundant life God desires for them.Billy Graham s approach uniquely combines timeless Christian principles with practical guidance, providing readers a hopeful and redemptive path forward. Freedom from The Seven Deadly Sins now includes a special Pray the Scriptures section with specially chosen verses to help readers overcome the grip of the seven deadly sins and find God s help and direction, along with the hope and freedom they need to live in peace.

But when wells turned up dry, he disappeared with their cash just a step or two ahead of Jeremiah Weber, who was elected to run him down.Postmistress Gainey Floyd is suspicious of Sulley s abilities when he appears in her town but reconsiders after new wells fill with sweet water. Rather, it s Sulley who grows uneasy when his success makes folks wonder if he can find more than water--like forgotten items or missing people. He lights out to escape such expectations and runs smack into something worse.Hundreds of men have found jobs digging the Hawks Nest Tunnel--but what they thought was a blessing is killing them. And no one seems to care. Here, Sulley finds something new--a desire to help. With it, he becomes an unexpected catalyst, bringing Jeremiah and Gainey together to find what even he has forgotten: hope. Sarah Loudin Thomas never disappoints!

A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things - Raj Patel, Jason W. Moore
Nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives: these are the seven things that have made our world and will shape its future. In making these things cheap, modern commerce has transformed, governed, and devastated Earth. In A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, Raj Patel and Jason W. Moore present a new approach to analyzing today’s planetary emergencies. Bringing the latest ecological research together with histories of colonialism, indigenous struggles, slave revolts, and other rebellions and uprisings, Patel and Moore demonstrate that throughout history, crises have always prompted fresh strategies to make the world cheap and safe for capitalism. At a time of crisis in all seven cheap things, innovative and systemic thinking is urgently required. This book proposes a radical new way of understanding—and reclaiming—the planet in the turbulent twenty-first century.
