Toto nie je vedecká štúdia. Nie som hebraista ani biblický kritik, ani odborník na starovek či archeológ. Píšem pre nevzdelaných o veciach, v ktorých sám nemám vzdelanie. Ak sa treba nejako ospravedlniť (a asi áno) za to, že som sa pustil do písania takejto knihy, moje ospravedlnenie bude znieť približne takto: Často sa stáva, že dvaja školáci si dokážu nezrozumiteľné učivo navzájom vysvetliť lepšie, než by to dokázal učiteľ.Kniha Lewisových úvah nad vybranými žalmami prináša inšpirujúci pohľad na túto zbierku hebrejskej poézie a otvára pred čitateľom nové možnosti pohľadu na celú Knihu žalmov. Vracia jej to, na čo mnohí pozabudli, totiž že ide predovšetkým o poetické vyjadrenie vzťahu medzi človekom a Bohom. Táto práca je mnohými odborníkmi na texty Starého zákona odporúčaná ako jeden z najlepších komentárov ku Knihe žalmov. C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963) bol významným odborníkom na grécku a latinskú literatúru, filozofiu a históriu anglického jazyka. V roku 1954 sa stal profesorom stredovekej a renesančnej literatúry na Magdalen College Univerzity v Cambridgei. Bol výnimočným a obľúbeným prednášajúcim. Dlhé roky bol ateistom a svoje obrátenie ku kresťanstvu opísal v diele Zaskočený radosťou takto: "V aka-demickom roku 1929 som sa na Trinity College vzdal a uznal, že Boh je ...

Vzdejte se sama sebe - a naleznete své skutečné já. Ztraťte svůj život - a naleznete jej. Denně přijímejte smrt, smrt svých ambicí a největších přání a nakonec i smrt svého těla, a naleznete věčný život. V době druhé světové války rozhlasová stanice BBC požádala C. S. Lewise, aby připravil sérii přednášek, které by vlily nový smysl do všech oblastí života dospělých lidí. Kniha K jádru křesťanství, v níž jsou obsaženy všechny texty těchto pořadů, je považována za nejpopulárnější a nejpřístupnější dílo C. S. Lewise. Připomíná nám to, co je v životě skutečně důležité, a ukazuje cestu k radosti a spokojenosti. Vydání k padesátému výročí vzniku tohoto titulu připomíná období, kdy C. S. Lewis v době války a nejistoty dokázal utěšit miliony lidí, ale jeho slova mají i dnes stejnou platnost a váhu jako tehdy…

Vo svojom klasickom diele nás C. S. Lewis zasväcuje do korešpondencie medzi dvoma diablami: skúseným Krutodlakom a jeho synovcom Svrabomilom. Krutodlak zastáva byrokratickú funkciu v pekelnej hierarchii a je mentorom neskúseného Svrabomila. Ten práve začína svoju démonickú kariéru v službách „Otca v Hlbinách“ a bol poverený, aby odviedol nového kresťana – “pacienta” – od viery a povzbudil ho k hriechu. Kniha satirickým spôsobom poukazuje na mnohé bežné problémy ľudského života a kresťanskej viery, ako je otázka dobra a zla, pokušenia, pokánia a milosti. Krutodlak a Svrabomil žijú vo svojom morálne prevrátenom svete, kde je chamtivosť a dosiahnutie vlastného prospechu najväčšou hodnotou. Démoni nie sú schopní porozumieť tajomstvu Božej lásky k ľuďom alebo pripustiť možnosť nezištných ľudských cností. Nové vydanie obsahuje v slovenčine doteraz nepublikovanú autorovu esej o knihe.

Kniha – autor Colin Duriez, 296 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Clive Staples Lewis je dodnes populární zejména díky svým sedmidílným Letopisům Narnie. Toto dílo potkal podobný osud jako trilogii Pán prstenů Lewisova přítele a kolegy J. R. R. Tolkiena – stalo se doslova kultovní záležitostí a část byla také zfilmována. Kromě Letopisů Narnie napsal Lewis mnoho dalších, neméně úspěšných knih. Je známý také jako autor odborných studií z oblasti středověké literatury i jako popularizátor křesťanské víry. Colin Duriez popisuje Lewisův život prostřednictvím několika pevných přátelství, jež navázal nejen v kruhu slavných Inklingů a která nepochybně ovlivnila jeho intelekt a dílo. Byli to právě Lewisovi dobří přátelé Hugo Dyson a J. R. R. Tolkien, kteří hráli významnou roli na jeho cestě k znovunalezení křesťanské víry. Jeho vztahem a později manželstvím s americkou spisovatelkou Joy Davidmanovou se inspiroval film Krajina stínů. Dozvíme se také, proč se...

Skydog Ranch and Sanctuary, founded by Clare Staples, covers over 9,000 acres in Malibu, California, and Bend, Oregon, where wild horse advocates work tirelessly to save captured Mustangs and return them to freedom. To date, Skydog has rescued over 300 wild horses and 50 donkeys and mules, with a special focus on finding and reuniting bonded families who may have once roamed the American West together but were separated during the roundup process. Gorgeously illustrated with hundreds of dramatic photographs, The Wild Boys of Skydog features more than fifty horses who once, as stallions, roamed western public lands. They lived freely, loving and protecting their bonded partners and family bands until roundup separated them from their herds and forced them into captivity, and often abuse and neglect. Staples recounts their tales of lost liberty and the dramatic extent to which some Mustangs will go to flee captivity or rejoin their family bands. The Skydog team identifies, locates, and secures captured wild horses - often saving them from notorious kill pens - ensuring their lifelong freedom at the sanctuary and, when possible, in the company of their original wild herdmates. Incredibly moving and inspiring, The Wild Boys of Skydog illuminates the ... Unknown localization key: "more"
