Vzájemnost mezi vírou a svátostmi ve svátostné ekonomii
Dokument vatikánské Mezinárodní teologické komise vydaný na přelomu let 2019 a 2020 chce přispět k hlubšímu porozumění svátostné povahy víry a zároveň prakticky posloužit v pastorační činnosti.
V textu dokumentu se soustředíme na vztah víry a tří iniciačních svátostí (křest dětí i dospělých, biřmování a eucharistie) i svátosti manželství. Dokument MTK představuje základní stavební kameny svátostné ekonomie v jejím trojičním, christologickém, pneumatologickém, církevním a dialogickém rozměru.
V pasážích věnovaných svátosti manželství najdeme také nejzajímavější náměty. To koresponduje s bohatou diskusí o rodině a manželství na římské Synodě o rodině a po vydání apoštolské exhortace papeže Františka Amoris laetitia. Dokument hledá teologicky fundovaný a právně konzistentní přístup pro lidi v obtížné kanonicko-právní situaci a ukazuje potřebu konzistentního metafyzického základu svátostné teologie. Lze shrnout, že víra bez svátostného vyjádření je neúplná a svátosti bez živého vztahu k Otci skrze Syna díky daru Ducha Svatého ztrácejí duši.
České vydání dokumentu doprovází kvalitní úvodní studie teologů Ctirada Václava Pospíšila a Veroniky Řehákové. Četbu dokumentu doporučujeme duchovním, pracovníkům v pastoraci, odborníkům i studentům teologie a příbuzných oborů, stejně jako všem věřícím, kteří se chtějí vzdělávat ve víře.

The Red Bird
Aurora Award Finalist. When the Shogun’s soldiers burn his village and kill his parents, young Asai is rescued by a strange red hawk and led to a fabled temple. Here, he trains under Ikada, the Warrior of the Red Bird and seeker of the Hidden Light. Asai will be the last Warrior, and unless he can succeed where all other Warriors have failed—to discover the Hidden Light—then his people will suffer a thousand years of misery. But when Sawako, a beautiful young woman, challenges him, Asai must choose between his heart, his people, and his destiny."I loved this tale. ... It has the feel of a myth or legend about a boy who finds that his destiny is closely entwined with the destiny of a people. But rather than repeat a tale we’ve all read before, the author has written something subtly new. … Honestly, I could have read it forever. The ending was that perfect combination of sadness and hope." —SF Crowsnest Review"A spellbinding piece of writing set in a Japan-that-never-was that is both well-plotted and elegantly paced" —Strange Horizons"A superbly told, involving, and brilliantly paced short story, complete with an ending made more tragic by its inevitability... Worth the price of the issue." —Tangent Online "A mini-epic about a young boy named Asai and the phoenix that saves him from death while his village is being raided... If you love Japanese and Samurai stories, this one will give you goose bumps." —Tangent Online"Powerful, moving and not quite predictable (A+)" —Fantasy Book Critic"A wonderfully recounted story, with an excellent pace and a perfect ending." —Bibliopolis

Rozhodujúca dekáda
Tridsiatka nie je novou dvadsiatkou, hoci to často počúvame v médiách, od priateľov i rodiny. Obdobie medzi dvadsiatym a tridsiatym rokom života nie je druhou pubertou, naopak – je obdobím, kedy by sme mali zhromažďovať osobnostný kapitál, pracovať na svojej budúcej kariére a perspektívnom vzťahu. Odsúvať zamestnanie, partnerstvo a rodičovstvo za tridsiatku sa veľmi nevypláca, a ak chceme prežiť šťastnejší, plnší a pokojnejší život, treba si to podľa autorky uvedomiť.
Klinická psychologička Meg Jayová v tejto pôsobivej knihe vysvetľuje, prečo je dôležité neuviaznuť vo víre dezinformácii a trivializácii o desaťročí, ktoré je v podstate najurčujúcejšie pre našu budúcnosť.
V knihe vychádza zo svojej dlhoročnej praxe zameranej na dvadsiatnikov, ako aj z mnohých vedeckých štúdií a štatisckých dát. Rozpráva o práci, partnerských vzťahoch, sociálnych väzbách aj osobnom rozvoji a chybách, ktorých je dobré sa vyvarovať. Výsledkom je osviežujúca, konštruktívna a miestami až nemilosrdne úprimná kniha určená predovšetkým dvadsiatnikom – no nielen im.

Bílá Voda
Dlouho očekávaný přelomový román o ženách, víře a zlu.
Bílá Voda. Takto poeticky se jmenuje pustá vesnice skrytá ve stínu pohraničních hor, kam kdysi přicházely zástupy poutníků vyprosit si pomoc u zázračné sošky Panny Marie. Právě sem o několik století později přijíždí Lena Lagnerová, aby se tu skryla před svou minulostí, která ji přivedla na pokraj sebevraždy. Namísto kláštera s početnou řeholní komunitou tu však najde pouze několik řádových sester, vedených svéráznou řeholnicí Evaristou. Ta přišla do Bílé Vody o poslední zářijové noci roku 1950, kdy komunistický režim zosobněný démonickým páterem Plojharem odvlekl v rámci Akce Ř všechny řádové sestry do sběrných klášterů.
Mladičká Evarista tehdy dostala na výběr: vrátit se do civilního života, nebo s ostatními sdílet jejich příští osud. Nezaváhala ani na okamžik. Stejně jako všechny řeholnice byla nasazena na nucené práce a vystavena ponižování v komunistickém kriminálu i mučení, aby se vzdala víry v Boha. Marně. Lena však zjistí, že tím Evaristin dramatický příběh pouze začíná, a brzy pochopí, že démoni obcházející minulost bělovodských řeholnic nezmizeli, a navíc jsou součástí i jejího vlastního osudu.

Slušný vybavení
Pár věcí byste o mně měli vědět: jsem dobře zaopatřenej, dobře vyvinutej a vtipnej.
Ženským se líbí chlapi, který je umí rozesmát – a tím nemyslím velikostí ptáka. Ne, chtějí vtipnost s přílohou velikosti… a s pořádnou dávkou věrnosti. To všechno můžu nabídnout, a díky vzkvétající truhlářský firmě ještě i tučnej účet v bance. To už je slušný vybavení.
Teď na scénu vstupuje Natalie. Krásná, sexy, chytrá a k tomu moje nová asistentka. Což znamená naprosto zakázaný území. No co, jsem slušnej chlap. Daří se mi nepodléhat tomu pokušení, co mi denně nosí do práce.
Až jednou v Las Vegas… Jo, to už jste určitě slyšeli. Pár špatných zpráv pro byznys, pár koktejlů navíc a najednou jsme v sobě. Pořád. A než po miliontý řekne „ach bože, přesně takhle, ANO!“, oba si říkáme to významný ano v kapli u silnice před týpkem v lesklý zlatý kombinéze a falešných licousech.
Jenže na tu noc ve Vegas nejde tak docela zapomenout a teď se mi péro dere z gatí, kdykoli je Natalie nablízku. A čím víc se snažíme dát od sebe ruce pryč, tím častěji končíme nahý a tím víc času s ní chci trávit i oblečenej. Takže otázka zní… přijmu tuhle ženu za svoji exmanželku?
