I have enjoyed many truly amazing and humbling moments, suffered my share of struggles but also had a career I can always be proud of. All the while, having my family and loved ones on this journey with me through the highs and lows has been very special.

Both at Thomond Park and on the international stage, Murray has stood out even whilst surrounded by other Ireland and Munster names who will themselves go down in history. As a Munster player, Murray has two United Rugby Championship titles to his name and his performances since his debut in 2010 saw Murray also selected in the World Rugby Men's 15 Team of the Decade, 2010-2019. First capped for his country all the way back in 2011 with his debut showing against France, the Munster scrum-half has also been at the heart of Ireland's astonishing success in the years since. With 5 Six Nations titles including 2 Grand Slams and well over 100 caps for Ireland - as well as being a 3-time tourist with the British & Irish Lions amassing 8 test caps along the way - Murray has seen it all, played them all, fought back from injury, enjoying huge victories and suffering devastating losses. And now, having announced he is retiring from international rugby, he is telling his own unique story in his own unique way. A hugely respected and revered figure across the world of rugby, and Irish sport in particular, Murray is leaving no stone unturned as he describes the ups and downs, the mental and physical challenges and the fun he had during a rugby career that will forever be regarded as competitive and captivating.

Učit se hlouběji nahlédnout do vlastního nitra, hodnotit své postoje a skutky, vykonat si poctivé zpytování svědomí… Právě o tom je knížka oblíbeného autora duchovní literatury. Použita může být pro každodenní modlitební chvíli i jako pomůcka při přípravě na svátost smíření.
„Láska vyžaduje oboustranné, bezvýhradné odevzdání se. Lakota, chladná vypočítavost a sčítání výhod odkrývají strach před úplným darováním se v lásce a před přijímáním lásky. Ten, kdo neumí lásku přijímat, ji neumí ani dávat. Když hledíme na velkou touhu Boha po lidské lásce, ptáme se sami sebe, jaká je naše touha po lásce Boží. Jak a s jakou silou se projevovala v našem životě?“ Józef Augustyn

Jesus, the Man Who Lives
"Muggeridge's masterpiece, the greatest achievement of his life as a writer."—The London TimesA stunningly insightful reflection on the life, person, and teachings of Christ. In Jesus, the Man Who Lives, the celebrated British author Malcolm Muggeridge offers a meditation that was deemed by The London Times to be his “masterpiece, the greatest achievement of his life as a writer.” Muggeridge's portrait of Christ is at once deeply personal and universally accessible. Beginning with the assertion that the “coming of Jesus into the world is the most stupendous event in human history,” Muggeridge provides astute commentary on the events of Christ’s life, his teachings, his parables, his prophecies, and his relationships. Along the way, he happily punctures many of the cherished myths held about Jesus—and about itself—by the modern, self-satisfied, largely post-Christian world. With his trademark honesty and wit, Muggeridge concludes that “either Jesus never was or he still is. I assert that he still is." This new, fiftieth-anniversary edition proudly reintroduces Malcolm Muggeridge’s profound spiritual study to a new generation of readers.
