Modlitby nad písmem
Nemáte někdy pocit, že v modlitbě neustále opakujete to samé? Utíkají vám myšlenky, nebo dokonce bojujete s pocitem nudy? Nebojte se, nejste sami.
Don Whitney v knize Modlitby nad Písmem ukazuje, že se jedná o běžný problém, který však má snadné, trvalé a především biblické řešení. Na několika málo stránkách vysvětluje, jak při modlitbě používat Písmo, tak aby se stalo inspirací pro vaše modlitby a tím i posilou pro vaši duši. Přidejte se k němu a zažijte živé společenství s Bohem a opravdové potěšení z každého rozhovoru s ním.
Odvážní ve víře
Bible nám stále říká, že tento svět není naším domovem. Dlouhou dobu se však zdálo, že by jím být mohl. Naše kultura se ale mění – a začínáme si ve vlastní zemi připadat jako cizinci. Jsme v pokušení hněvat se, sklopit hlavu nebo to prostě vzdát.
Není to však poprvé, kdy Boží lid musí přijít na to, jak žít s důvěrou a vírou v prostředí, které se staví proti Božím cestám a proti Božímu slovu. Už jsme to dokázali dříve a můžeme to dokázat i dnes.
Alistair Begg nás se svou charakteristickou jasností, vhledem a vřelostí uvádí do doby proroka Daniela. Nevyzývá nás k tomu, abychom byli jako Daniel, ale spíše abychom důvěřovali Danielovu Bohu. Víme, že jsme spaseni vírou. Teď je čas naučit se být odvážní ve víře.
Alistair Begg je hlavním pastorem v Parkside Church v Clevelandu ve státě Ohio a učitelem Bible ve službě rozhlasového a on-line vysílání Truth For Life.

Anatomie trpící duše
Moderní psychiatrie bývá spojována se jmény, jako jsou Sigmund Freud či Emil Kraepelin. Než se však psychiatrie stala univerzitní disciplínou a získala podobu vědy, jak ji známe dnes, prošla dlouhým obdobím hledání, experimentů i institucionálních proměn. Právě do této málo známé fáze vývoje, kdy se rodily první instituce určené pro péči o duševně nemocné a kdy se teprve utvářely základy moderní psychiatrie, se vrací tato kniha.
Publikace přináší první komplexní zpracování počátků psychiatrické péče v českých zemích mezi koncem 18. a 80. lety 19. století. Sleduje vznik a proměny raných „blázinců“, jejich organizaci, pacienty i lékaře, kteří stáli u zrodu nového oboru. Zvláštní pozornost věnuje pražskému zemskému ústavu, jeho filiálkám v Čechách i prvním moravským zařízením, stejně jako širším souvislostem vývoje psychiatrie v rámci habsburské monarchie a střední Evropy.
Kniha zasazuje dějiny rané psychiatrie do širších kulturních, sociálních a politických souvislostí. Ukazuje, jak se proměňovalo chápání duševní nemoci, jak vznikaly první klasifikace psychických poruch a jak se formoval nový odborný jazyk i instituce, které měly „šílenství“ diagnostikovat, léčit a zároveň kontrolovat. Na základě rozsáhlého archivního výzkumu tak přináší nový pohled na období, kdy se v českých zemích rodily základy moderní psychiatrické péče.
The Radiant Dark
It's March 1980, and Carol Girard and her husband are living an ordinary life in a small town in the Adirondacks. They have just had their first child, and though Carol is struggling with the challenges of new motherhood, her future seems clear. Until something extraordinary happens: an inexplicable flickering of light in the sky, which is ultimately determined to be communication from intelligent life on another planet. But these beings are eleven light-years away, and nothing is known about them other than the fact that they seem to know we exist too. And so begins a decades-long exchange of messages with this mysterious, faraway civilization.
As humanity reels from a shifting understanding of its place in the universe, we follow the stories of the Girard family: Carol, whose fascination with this other life sparks a desperate search for spiritual meaning; Michael, her loyal son, who finds solace not in the stars above his head but in the ground beneath his feet; and Ro, Carol's bright and ambitious daughter, whose childhood goal to work in interstellar communication will evolve into something far grander. Tracing five decades of love, loss, ambition, and self-discovery, The Radiant Dark is a stunning examination of a family navigating their lives with the knowledge that we are not alone.

Autor mapuje svou hudební cestu od skromných začátků až po dlouholeté působení ve skupině Jethro Tull, kde se podílel na vzniku ikonických skladeb a alb. Barre čtenáře provází zákulisím koncertních turné, nahrávacích studií i proměn hudebního průmyslu. Svůj osobní život vykresluje jako cestu plnou hledání rovnováhy mezi hudební kariérou a soukromím. Otevřeně popisuje, jak bylo náročné skloubit intenzivní koncertování s rodinným životem a jak dlouhé odloučení ovlivňovalo jeho vztahy. Nevynechává ani období nejistoty, tlaku a pochybností, které přicházely ruku v ruce s úspěchem. Držitel ceny Grammy nám upřímně a se skromností odkrývá svou životní cestu nedílně spjatou s hudbou, ve které dosahuje technické preciznosti a citlivého, melodického projevu přecházejícího od jemných akustických pasáží až po výrazná kytarová sóla.

Polis
A definitive new history of the origins, evolution, and scope of the ancient Greek city-stateThe Greek polis, or city-state, was a resilient and adaptable political institution founded on the principles of citizenship, freedom, and equality. Emerging around 650 BCE and enduring to 350 CE, it offered a means for collaboration among fellow city-states and social bargaining between a community and its elites—but at what cost? Polis proposes a panoramic account of the ancient Greek city-state, its diverse forms, and enduring characteristics over the span of a millennium. In this landmark book, John Ma provides a new history of the polis, charting its spread and development into a common denominator for hundreds of communities from the Black Sea to North Africa and from the Near East to Italy. He explores its remarkable achievements as a political form offering community, autonomy, prosperity, public goods, and spaces of social justice for its members. He also reminds us that behind the successes of civic ideology and institutions lie entanglements with domination, empire, and enslavement. Ma’s sweeping and multifaceted narrative draws widely on a rich store of historical evidence while weighing in on lively scholarly debates and offering new readings of Aristotle as the great theoretician of the polis. A monumental work of scholarship, Polis transforms our understanding of antiquity while challenging us to grapple with the moral legacy of an idea whose very success centered on the inclusion of some and the exclusion of others.
