Svetlo slova na nedele a sviatky - Liturgický cyklus A
Z rímskych dejín je známy hrdina Korio-lan. Tento mladý muž bol v 5. storočí pred Kristom svojimi spoluobčanmi obžalovaný z úsilia, že chcel byť samovládcom, a preto ho vyhnali z Ríma. Urazený Koriolan sa pridal k nepriateľom Ríma, ktorí ho vďačne prijali. Stal sa vodcom velkého vojska, ktoré po rokoch tiahlo na Rím. Keď Rimania počuli, ako nepriateľské vojsko všetko plieni!, páli a vraždí ľudí’ prepadli v paniku. Senátori a vážení mužovia chceli svoje mesto a ľudí od tragédie uchrániť, a preto vysielali poslov s odkazom o mier. Prosili Koriolana, aby sa nad svojím rodným mestom a jeho obyvateľmi zľutoval. Pohanskí kňazi mu kládli k nohám obrovské poklady, ale nič nedokázalo obmäkčiť jeho zatvrdnuté srdce.
Keď už sa zdalo, že všetky prosby sú zbytočné, vybrala sa skupina najváženejších žien na čele s Ko-riolanovou matkou Ventúriou, aby sa pokúsili Rím zachrániť. Matka so zopätými rukami prosila svojho syna, aby sa zľutoval a odpustil krivdu, ktorú mu Rimania spôsobili. Koriolan, ktorý sa s pohŕdaním odvrátil od senátorov, nepočúval prosby kňazov a odmietol aj drahocenné poklady, svoju matku vrúcne objal a povedal: „Matka, ty si zachránila Rím/' Keď svojmu vojsku, namiesto víťazstva a veľkej koristi, dal povel na ústup, jeden z vojakov ho v návale zlosti prepichol kopijou. Hrdina padol, ale rímsky ľud bol zachránený.
Místo na nový začátek
Román Místo na nový začátek vypráví dojemný příběh Lilac McCarthyové, která se po tragické ztrátě snaží znovu najít pevnou půdu pod nohama. Veškerou svou energii upíná k rodinné farmě Cherry Hill, jež pro ni není jen zdrojem obživy, ale především posledním poutem k minulosti, kterou nechce ztratit. Každodenní starosti, péče o sad i přípravy tradičního festivalu jí dávají smysl i řád – a zároveň jí pomáhají držet bolest na uzdě.
Když se však do jejího života nečekaně vrací Bo Radisson, kdysi blízký přítel, první láska a zároveň dávný protivník, Lilacin pečlivě vystavěný svět se začne otřásat v základech. Bo přijíždí s vlastními plány a představami o budoucnosti, které se střetávají s Lilacinou touhou uchovat vše tak, jak bylo.

Lilac se ocitá na rozcestí: má se držet jistot, které jí dávají pocit bezpečí, nebo riskovat a otevřít své srdce změně? Dokáže odpustit – nejen druhým, ale i sama sobě? A je možné znovu uvěřit lásce, která kdysi ztroskotala?

On the brink of losing her position as a maid and with no prospects to go on, the offer of a place at Rooksgrave Manor?a house of ill and unusual repute?sounds like a perfect fit for a young woman with Esther's inclinations. Even better, the invitation comes by the hand of the handsome Dr. Underwood, a delicate gentleman with a ferocious alter ego who knows exactly what he wants from Esther.
Upon arrival, the men and the daily decadence of the manor feel too good to be true for a girl of Esther's station. There are rules to be followed, expectations to meet, and Esther is afraid she might be too wicked even for a place like Rooksgrave.
Temptations lurk around every shadowy corner and Esther has never been a girl able to resist. But the risk of disappointing her new gentlemen isn't all that's threatening Esther's new position. Rooksgrave Manor's protections for its unusual patrons are failing, the wards are crumbling, and Esther's new and exquisitely pleasurable life may all come tumbling down.

A Life in Lyrics
Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest showmen of the twentieth century. With his unparalleled voice and searing on-stage energy, he was a great pretender, a killer queen and a champion of the world.
But behind the glamour lived a musician and lyricist talented beyond measure, and the creative force behind one of the most culturally significant and musically diverse bands the world has ever seen.
When Freddie passed away in 1991, he left to his former fiancée and dearest friend Mary Austin not only his house and possessions but also a creative archive spanning almost two decades. From his earliest works before Queen was formed, right through to the end of his solo career, his notebooks and doodlings contain previously unpublished material including alternate lyrics and abandoned verses for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and multiple drafts of ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, as well as entire songs that were never recorded.
Accompanied by stories, memories, and anecdotes from his lifelong companion, and illustrated with photographs from Freddie’s personal collection, many of which have never been published before, A Life in Lyrics is the definitive creative record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
