Moc obyčajného skutku
AJ TY MÔŽEŠ PRINIESŤ ZMENU
Svet okolo nás sa nám možno zdá veľmi často odmeraný a neprajný. Autorka tejto knihy, Debbie Macomberová, sa na vlastnej koži presvedčila, že život prežívaný v duchu štedrosti prináša nečakané zázraky. Životy ľudí sa môžu zmeniť spôsobom, akým si to ani nevieme predstaviť. Jeden malý chlapec v Galilei dobrovoľne odovzdal svoje ryby a chleby Ježišovi a stal sa svedkom toho, ako sa jeho skromný dar mnohonásobne rozmnožil a nasýtil päťtisíc mužov. Aj my môžeme žiť s otvorenými dlaňami a žasnúť nad tým, čo Boh uskutočňuje prostredníctvom našich obyčajných skutkov štedrosti.
Táto úžasná zbierka skutočných príbehov a motivujúcich posolstiev vás poteší a zároveň prekvapí. Pri jej čítaní sa na vlastné oči presvedčíte, že darovanie času, povzbudenia, nádeje, smiechu, modlitby, služby, prejavenie pohostinnosti či odpustenia často mení život nielen príjemcovi týchto darov, ale aj ich darcovi. Stačí jeden obyčajný skutok.
Debbie Macomberová nás pomocou svojho majstrovského rozprávačského talentu vyzýva, aby sme žili s otvoreným srdcom a ponúkali Bohu to, kým sme a čo máme, aby to mohol použiť v živote druhých ľudí. Keď to budeme robiť s dychtivým pocitom očakávania, životy ľudí – vrátane nášho vlastného – sa zmenia tak, ako si to ani nevieme predstaviť.
DEBBIE MACOMBEROVÁ v súčasnosti patrí medzi popredné autorky ženskej beletrie. Pravidelne sa objavuje vo všetkých významných rebríčkoch bestsellerov. Náklady jej kníh majú už viac než 200 miliónov výtlačkov. Je obľúbenou spisovateľkou na celom svete a jej romány sa udržali na zozname bestsellerov New York Times viac než 1000 týždňov. Spolu s manželom Waynom sú skvelí rodičia a starí rodičia. Žijú vo Fort Orchard v štáte Washington.
Recipes for Murder
Drink and dine with recipes inspired by the best-selling novelist of all time.
Poisons, knives, and bullets riddle the stories of Agatha Christie, but so does food, which she uses to invoke settings, to develop characters, and, of course, to commit murder. This to-die-for cookbook offers recipes written by the author for one accessible, easy-to-follow dish or drink for each of Christie’s 66 mysteries. Recipes include Fish and Chips at the Seven Dials Club, Literary Luncheon Meringues, Oysters Rockefeller on the Orient Express, Sixpence Blackbird Pie, Orange Marmalade from Gossington Hall, and more. Along the way, you’ll learn how to make an exquisite omelet, how to roast a leg of lamb properly, and how to serve perfectly timed steak frites. Framing these dishes are insightful essays and headnotes that detail the history of the recipes, their context in Christie’s life and times, and the roles they play in the source works. Based on extensive research and investigation, all dishes appear traditional to their respective eras, so steak fried for 1923 but marinated and grilled for 1964. Completing the collection, thematic menus assemble recipes for a Halloween murder mystery gathering, a “Christie for Christmas,” a book club buffet, and other occasions, making it a filling tribute to the grand dame of detective fiction.

A is for Arsenic
Shortlisted for the Macavity Awards 2016
Fourteen novels. Fourteen poisons. Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it's all made-up ...
Agatha Christie revelled in the use of poison to kill off unfortunate victims in her books; indeed, she employed it more than any other murder method, with the poison itself often being a central part of the novel. Her choice of deadly substances was far from random – the characteristics of each often provide vital clues to the discovery of the murderer. With gunshots or stabbings the cause of death is obvious, but this is not the case with poisons. How is it that some compounds prove so deadly, and in such tiny amounts?
Christie's extensive chemical knowledge provides the backdrop for A is for Arsenic, in which Kathryn Harkup investigates the poisons used by the murderer in fourteen classic Agatha Christie mysteries. It looks at why certain chemicals kill, how they interact with the body, the cases that may have inspired Christie, and the feasibility of obtaining, administering and detecting these poisons, both at the time the novel was written and today. A is for Arsenic is a celebration of the use of science by the undisputed Queen of Crime.

Grzegorz Rosinski je známý především jako tvůrce Thorgala – ale kromě této série má na svědomí i několik „vážnějších“ komiksů, ve kterých mohl naplno popustit uzdu svému talentu. V dalším svazku z řady Mistrovská díla evropského komiksu najdete Pomstu hraběte Skarbeka, která vychází z romantických příběhů ve stylu hraběte Monte Christa, ozvláštněných světem pirátů a malířů... a pak komiks, nazvaný prostě Western. V obojím Rosinski tvoří svou dokonalou malbou ikonicky romantické světy, aby pak provedl jejich nelítostnou destrukci. I díky tomu jsou tyto díla nejen to nejlepší z Rosinského tvorby, ale i to nejlepší z evropského komiksu.

Murder at Maybridge Castle
A harmless game of Murder in the Dark? Or an invitation to die for?
The brand new, festive murder mystery for 2023 from 'modern rival to Agatha Christie' Ada Moncrieff
It's Christmas 1936 and an eclectic list of guests and staff have gathered for the grand reopening of Maybridge castle, a newly renovated yet still crumbling hotel deep in the Cumbrian countryside.
Amongst them are a doctor and his new wife, tarot readers, a journalist, an elderly amateur sleuth and her cat. By the time the first sherries have been drunk a person will be dead. An innocent game of murder-in-the-dark turns into a real game of life and death. Someone has changed the rules...but who?

Heresy
‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art, literature and language, and the Western mind.
Yet in the years after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.
Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view. Now, in Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might have been.
God's Ghostwriters
From an award-winning biblical scholar, the untold story of how enslaved people created, gave meaning to, and spread the word of the New Testament, shaping the very foundations of Christianity in ways both subtle and profound.
For the past two thousand years, Christian tradition, scholarship, and pop culture has credited the authorship of the New Testament to a select group of men: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul. But the truth is that these individuals, who have been rewarded with sainthood for their work, did not write alone. In some meaningful ways they did not write at all.
Hidden behind these named and sainted individuals are a cluster of enslaved coauthors and collaborators, almost all of whom go unnamed and uncredited. They were responsible for producing the earliest manuscripts of the New Testament. In fact, there was no aspect of textual production and circulation in which they did not play a part: they made the parchment and papyri on which Christian texts were written. They took dictation, removed grammatical infelicities, and polished and refined the final manuscripts. Those manuscripts were then duplicated and bound by bookmakers and booksellers who, recent research has shown, were also enslaved or formerly enslaved. When the Christian message began to move independently from the first apostles it was enslaved missionaries who undertook the dangerous and arduous journeys across the Mediterranean and along dusty Roman roads to move Christianity from Jerusalem and the Levant to Rome, Spain, North Africa, and Egypt. Finally, when these texts were read aloud to new audiences of curious potential converts, it was educated and trained enslaved workers who performed them—deciding whether a statement was sincere or sarcastic; a throwaway remark or something central to be emphasized. Their influence in the spread of Christianity and making of the Bible was enormous, yet their role has been almost entirely overlooked until now.
Filled with profound ramifications revelations both for what it means to be a Christian and for how we read individual texts themselves, God’s Ghostwriters is a groundbreaking and rigorously researched book about how enslaved people shaped the Bible, and with it all of Christianity.
