The Orthodox Church understands the Holy Scriptures to be the fountainhead of Tradition. The stories read in the Bible are commonly explored and elaborated in greater depth in liturgical hymns, homilies, and patristic writings. Such is the case with the account found in St Luke’s gospel of a sinful woman who anoints Christ with precious oil shortly before his Passion and Crucifixion. The woman’s story is taken up in the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church in Holy Week, where she is held up as an example of repentance and unconstrained love. In this in-depth but readable study the biblical accounts are elaborated through both the liturgical and oratorical tradition of the Church, as found primarily in Greek and Syriac manuscripts, with particular attention given to the former texts, too often overshadowed by the latter. Previously inaccessible texts of late antiquity, such as homilies by Amphilochius of Iconium and Ephrem Graecus, are found here in English for the first time, together with fresh English renderings of other sermons. This sharply honed and well-constructed work will engage all who encounter the story of the sinful woman in the living tradition of worship in the Orthodox Church, as well as those who ...

Gayle DeLong was a well-known activist in the autism community, the ‘Warrior Mom’ of two autistic daughters. She worked closely with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on vaccine injury issues. This book is a record (based largely on her diaries) of her happy marriage to Jonathan Rose. Love in the Age of Autism does not sugarcoat the stresses and heartbreak of raising autistic children: it is more honest about that than most other books on the subject. But it is also an inspiring love story, which can help autism parents find profound joys in spite of all the pains. It offers practical advice and models for sharing the burdens and pleasures of life, based on a strong sense of family values. This book frankly (and with an earthy sense of humour) illustrates how autism parents can continue to enjoy passionate, monogamous physical love – and it explains how to provide sex education for autistic girls. The tale that Gayle and Jonathan tell is intensely romantic and life-affirming.

I slunná strana života má své stíny. Nebo jsou o tom přinejmenším přesvědčeny hrdinky tří povídek v nové knížce Martiny Formanové. Na pozadí výlučného, uzavřeného okruhu ‘lepší společnosti‘ v anglosaské části státu Connecticut každopádně hledají svou vlastní verzi amerického snu, jenž se zdá - v jejich případě - tak na dosah. Jen překonat vlastní drobné nedokonalosti, pochyby, minulost. Cíl, jež se ukáže být někdy stejně nedosažitelný, jako z kteréhokoliv jiného místa planety. Po úspěšné prvotině Skladatelka voňavého prádla přichází Martina Formanová s další, neméně zajímavou novelou o současné Americe.

Po několika románech a autobiograficky laděných prózách přichází Martina Formanová se souborem kratších povídek, které spojuje společné téma - partnerské a intimní vztahy v nejrozmanitějších podobách. S pochopením a humorným nadhledem líčí mnohdy bizarní situace a trapasy, v nichž se ocitáme v důsledku konfrontace našich snů, cílů a záměrů s realitou. Střetává se tu nejen ženský svět s mužským, ale i naše představy o sobě a o druhých se skutečným a často nahodilým chodem světa. Aktéři povídek jsou nejrůznějšího věku i společenského a profesního postavení. Čtenář se tak setkává např. s třináctiletou dívkou, v níž probouzející se sexualita vyvolává odpor i romantické snění; se všestranně úspěšným a neodolatelným mužem, kterého dostihne drobné selhání v mládí; s obyčejnými mileneckými a manželskými páry středního věku unavenými stereotypem; s mladou překladatelkou přivydělávající si nejstarším řemeslem světa; s padesátníkem, permanentně vystrašeným ze své ženy… Autorčiny momentky z milostného a sexuálního života živočišného druhu homo sapiens jsou chápavou a vtipnou četbou obohacující obě pohlaví.

Nečekanou součástí duševní terapie se pro ni stávají lekce stand-upu, který spojil její touhu po komunikaci, smysl pro humor i dávné zážitky z navštěvování dětského recitačního kroužku v rodném Brně.

The remarkable life story of Ella Jenkins, “The First Lady of Children’s Music.”  Ella Jenkins was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. Her songs “You’ll Sing a Song and I’ll Sing a Song” and “Who Fed the Chickens?” are classics in the world of children’s music. In a career spanning more than sixty years, she recorded forty albums, won a lifetime-achievement Grammy, and became the best-selling individual artist in the history of Smithsonian Folkways Records, the independent label that played a significant role in the 1960s folk revival movement and introduced listeners to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. During her remarkable career, Jenkins joined forces with twentieth-century luminaries such as Odetta, Big Bill Broonzy, Armando Peraza, Bayard Rustin, and Fred Rogers. Despite her wide-reaching influence on children’s music, Ella Jenkins’s sonic civil rights activism isn’t widely known today.  Based on dozens of interviews and access to Ella Jenkins’s personal archives, Gayle F. Wald’s This Is Rhythm shares how Jenkins, a “rhythm specialist” with no formal musical training, became the most prolific and significant American children’s musician of the twentieth century, creating a beloved catalog of songs grounded in values of community-building, antiracism, and cultural ...
