Svět katolické víry
O co jde v katolické víře? Je to jen dva tisíce let stará kulturní tradice? Je to úctyhodný, ale přece jen poněkud složitý světonázor? Je to osobní přesvědčení, způsob života a zároveň vztah plný tajemství?
Kniha Roberta Barrona nás zve k objevování víry skrze konkrétní příběhy, životní osudy, klíčové texty evropské kultury, filozofické argumenty, osobní svědectví i obrazy. Nepouští se do zbytečných polemik – spíše pro nás znovu objevuje bohatství katolické tradice a tlumočí ho současným jazykem. Je pevně přesvědčen, že Kristovo vtělení pokračuje dál v tom, co je pravdivé, dobré a krásné.
Autor vychází ze skutečnosti Ježíšova vtělení, života a učení a projde s námi klíčové prvky a základní pojmy katolické víry – zjevení, modlitbu, Ježíše Krista a apoštoly, svátosti, význam Panny Marie a svatých, milost, spásu, podobenství, nebe, očistec i peklo. Píše inspirativně o tom, co se nás opravdu dotýká, a přitom ctí nadčasové pravdy víry. Jeho vyprávění ožívá díky řadě portrétů konkrétních mužů a žen, kteří žili katolickou víru naplno.

Ježíš Kristus, Syn Boží, Spasitel
„Nikajský koncil je milníkem v dějinách církve. Jeho výročí je pro křesťany výzvou, aby se spojili v chvále a díkůvzdání Nejsvětější Trojici, a zvláště Ježíši Kristu, Synu Božímu, který je ‘soupodstatný s Otcem’ a zjevil nám toto tajemství lásky“ (papež František)
V květnu 2025 si katolická církev a celý křesťanský svět připomenuly zahájení nikajského koncilu v roce 325. Koncil zůstal v křesťanském povědomí především prostřednictvím kreda, jež shrnuje, definuje a zvěstuje víru ve spásu skrze Ježíše Krista a v jednoho Boha, Otce, Syna a Ducha svatého. Je důležitý i tím, že na něj byli poprvé pozváni biskupové z celého tehdy známého světa a jeho rozhodnutí měla univerzální platnost. Nikajské kredo vyznává radostnou zvěst o spáse lidských bytostí, kterou uskutečnil Bůh v Ježíši Kristu.
Oslavme nikajský koncil chválou Boží slávy, jež se projevila v nesmírném pokladu víry, kterou kredo vyjadřuje. Nekonečná je krása Boha Otce, který nás zachraňuje. Nezměrné je milosrdenství Ježíše Krista, našeho Spasitele. A štědré je vykoupení, které je každé lidské osobě nabízeno v Duchu svatém!

The Evolution of Fire
"The Evolution of Fire is stunningly written—vivid in imagery, in the braiding together of language, and in the honoring of every person it shines a light on."—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There's Always This YearFrom the celebrated author of Limber, a luminous collection of essays about crisis, hope, and the decision to resist or embrace evolution—a book about time, for our time. Crisis is an agent of evolution, and Angela Pelster knows what it means to evolve. As a child, she burned grass to keep weeds at bay and watched tadpoles transform. She basked in the warmth of her father’s love but was burned by his rage, and she witnessed a sudden, unnamable change occur in her older sister after an encounter with a stranger in a white van. In adulthood, she survived the explosion of her marriage, the destruction of her burning home, and a year spent as the single mother of a toddler without a home of their own. And like us all, she has weathered the upheaval of our current atmosphere—political instability, climate change, mass extinction. But in spite of the world’s violence, Pelster manages to remain open to its beauty, deciding not to resist change, but to give herself over to it and let evolution make her into a new animal. She plumbs the depths of ancestral knowledge to uncover the scale of our ancient capacity for adaptation, from humankind’s early harnessing of fire to the grandmothers responsible for our continued existence. Meditative and curious, pulsing with fascination, fear, and the untamable human spirit, The Evolution of Fire contemplates who we are now and what we still might become.

* Spokojený intimní život není otázkou talentu ani chemie, ale dovedností, které si můžeme osvojit během života.
Česká touha není sbírkou pikantních historek.
Je citlivou průvodkyní lidskou sexualitou – v celé její složitosti, křehkosti a rozmanitosti. A najdete se v ní i vy.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER ‘Typically exposing, brilliantly written' VOGUE ‘Its quick hits of wit are like sniffs from an oxygen mask’ NEW YORK TIMES 'Few people are willing to be as human as Lena Dunham’ OBSERVER 'A generational voice' FINANCIAL TIMES In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain. For the last decade, as she’s spent countless hours in doctor’s waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham’s body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It’s not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you – as a twenty-five-year-old – are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist’s office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it – even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she’s meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her – because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again – if only she could remember who that self was. As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame – from selling the pilot of Girls to the present – in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can’t protect you from pain – and begins to control your every move – being famous doesn’t stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience. In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can’t change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.

Those who rise for Tahajjud find a direct and uninterrupted path to establish a profound connection with Allah SWT.

This book aims to highlight numerous spiritual, health, and social benefits of Tahajjud, which are valuable for both youth and adults, as well as scholars and laypersons alike.

How to Count Birds
A practical guide to making every bird count, for those who count birds. Counting birds may sound simple—just step outside and start tallying. But in reality, it's a complex and essential endeavor at the core of modern wildlife conservation. In How to Count Birds, conservation biologist Christopher JW McClure offers a practical guide to designing effective bird monitoring programs that inform real-world management and conservation strategies. As species vanish at unprecedented rates, having accurate population data is more urgent than ever. Yet too often, flawed study designs and outdated techniques lead to wasted time, ill-used resources, and misleading conclusions. McClure equips researchers, students, and birders with the tools to design efficient studies that avoid common pitfalls and capture what's truly happening in bird populations. This guide explains the biological, statistical, and philosophical principles behind good monitoring and explores study designs for estimating key demographic rates like survival and reproduction. McClure surveys the techniques used to estimate populations and highlights methods prone to error. Throughout, he advocates for a shift away from traditional approaches toward more precise techniques available today, such as acoustic monitoring and occupancy modeling. Effective study design requires collaboration among wildlife managers, field biologists, and statisticians from the start, as well as flexibility for field conditions and methodological adaptability. Whether you're just beginning or reevaluating a long-standing program, How to Count Birds is a timely reminder that precision and planning are just as critical as passion in the work of conservation.
