The Umbrella Man and Other Stories
Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is supposed to be downtown, on Main Street. News footage shows office workers leaning out of windows, peering at the motorcade through a blizzard of ticker tape. On the sidewalks, the crowds are fifty deep, a wall of noise and celebration. Everyone thinks this is the place to be. A few blocks away, in Dealey Plaza, the air is different. There is no ticker tape here. The crowds are thin. The only person filming is a dressmaker balanced on a concrete plinth. In this quiet corner, there's a man opening an umbrella even though it isn't raining, a construction worker in a hard hat who claims he was sent here by God, three tramps who stand on the verge of becoming suspects, an unidentified witness known only as the Babushka Lady, and many more. This is not a book about conspiracies or a lone gunman. This is a book about memory, about how we construct our shared history, and about what happens when your life is defined by a single, fleeting moment. It's about a group of real people who opted out of the main event before John F. Kennedy was assassinated, only to find themselves accidental witnesses to the most scrutinised six seconds of the twentieth century.

Neboť ten čas je blízko
Tento slogan najdeme na billboardech i ve sci-fi filmech. Podtrhuje nervózní fascinaci naší společnosti budoucností. Konec světa je děsivá vyhlídka, ať už ho má mít na svědomí obrovský asteroid, celosvětová epidemie, nebo jiná globální katastrofa. Děsivá je zvlášť pro ty, kdo nevědí, jak to bude doopravdy.
Pro křesťany však konec světa nemá být děsivý. Můžeme se na něj naopak těšit. Proč? Bůh nám řekl, jak svět skončí. A ujišťuje nás, že konec tohoto věku bude počátkem nového, úžasného, v němž budeme sloužit Pánu a uctívat ho s bezhříšnou dokonalostí. Naše věčná naděje jako věřících je těsně spjata s koncem tohoto světa.
To vše je vyloženo v knize Zjevení. Zjevení je inspirované Boží slovo, ale je to také jediná novozákonní kniha, která slibuje duchovní požehnání těm, kdo studují její poselství a uplatňují ho v praxi. Je tedy nezbytnou součástí duchovního života každého křesťana. Ti, kdo Zjevení ignorují, se připravují o bohatý poklad Boží pravdy a zaslíbených požehnání, která nám její porozumění přináší. John MacArthur vysvětluje knihu Zjevení věroučně přesně a zároveň prakticky.

Despite her changing fortune, Nina won't give up her old life without a fight. Azure might just be the one to finally match her wits, but how much can she trust him? And can she stop the feelings budding in her heart, knowing she must eventually marry another...?
Pravda pro život
Dobrá zpráva, která vás každý den posouvá blíž k Bohu.
Když čteme noviny, snažíme se porozumět naší společnosti, a když se díváme na své dějiny či budoucnost, potřebujeme Bibli, abychom si s tím vším dokázali poradit. Boží slovo je pravda, kterou potřebujeme, aby nás vedla každý den vezdejšího života a směrovala nás ke Kristu, v němž nacházíme skutečný život.
Kniha, kterou držíte v ruce je denní čtení, protože člověk nežije jen chlebem, nýbrž každým slovem, které vychází z Božích úst (Mt 4,4). Boží slovo nás denně sytí a je pro naše duchovní zdraví stejně nezbytné jako jídlo pro zdraví tělesné. Některé dny pro vás bude čtení Božího slova potěšením, zatímco jindy ho budete číst spíš z povinnosti, ale každý den to je důležité.
Boží slovo o sobě říká, že nám může dát „moudrost k záchraně skrze víru, která je v Kristu Ježíši“ a že tato Bohem vdechnutá slova jsou užitečná „k učení, k usvědčování, k napravování, k výchově ve spravedlnosti, aby Boží člověk byl takový, jaký má být, důkladně vystrojený ke každému dobrému skutku“ (2Tm 3,15–17).
Rozhodněte se tedy otvírat Bibli každý den (a když si uvědomíte, že jste polevili, prostě se k tomu zase vraťte), protože Boží slovo je živé a činné a bude ve vás působit mnohem hlouběji a zásadněji, než svými pocity můžete vytušit.
Boží řeč jsou slova, která potřebujeme. Proto je našim přáním, aby vám, milovaným Božím dětem, tato kniha změnila život, až vás k těmto slovům bude denně přivádět a Boží Duch vám bude skrze své slovo ukazovat Božího Syna.

The Lone Island Mystery
'Packed with atmosphere, heart and a rising sense of menace.'—Gilly Macmillan'My favourite cosy crime writer.'—Lucy ClarkeA wealthy family. An isolated island. A dead body. Is it a tragic accident or foul play? The Shell House Detectives are investigating again…Lone Island is a remote and windswept spot, but for nature reserve warden Pippa Grant it’s always been a haven. Until a body washes ashore—and she’s the one to find it. The police believe the deceased, Axel Marks, accidentally fell from the cliffs near Porthmerrin House, the grand estate on the mainland where Axel’s mother once served as housekeeper to the Grey family. But Pippa is adamant that there’s more to Axel’s death, and begs Ally and Jayden, the Shell House Detectives, to take the case. Soon it emerges that Axel had a troubled past, and a complicated history with both Edward Grey and his son, Lucas. As the reasons behind Axel’s visit to Porthmerrin become clear, Ally and Jayden feel sure that the house holds the key, and both owners and staff come under scrutiny. But when the police switch their focus back to Lone Island, Ally and Jayden are forced to question whether it’s their client who has something to hide. Was Axel murdered out of jealousy and greed, or because of an ancient betrayal? And how far will the killer go to achieve their ultimate goal? As Ally and Jayden finally bring the devastating truth to light, it’s clear that Axel’s death was just the beginning of the story…
