Denne bog præsenterer dig for en revolutionerende ny måde at elske på. For når det kommer til sex, vil de fleste af os gerne have mere. Det store spørgsmål er bare: mere af hvad? David Deidas svar til de af jer, der dybde ønsker mere dybde i jeres sexliv, og som går rundt med en følelse af, at sex burde bestå af mere end bare kortvarig fysisk tilfredsstillelse, er, at tiden er inde til at udforske ens unikke spirituelle seksualitet. Bogen er lavet ud fra målet om, at kærligheden forstørres og bliver til noget hinsides det, to mennesker deler. At sex bliver en total forsvinden ind i kærlighedens fylde, noget, der går ud over den tilfredsstillelse, det giver, når to kroppe gnubber sig mod hinanden, og man nærer følelser for hinanden. Hvert kapitel indledes med en kort erotisk tekst, der belyser en særlig stemning af elskov, og efterfølges af direkte instruktioner, der taler klart og ligefremt til den drivkraft, de to køn hver især besidder, og som er et resultat af, at den feminine del af os længes efter en dybere kærlighed, og den maskuline del kæmper for større frihed. David Deida bringer 30 års erfaring og arbejde med tusindvis af par i spil for at illustrere de veje, vi – som mænd og kvinder – med sindsro kan begive os hen ad i vores bestræbelser på at nå frem til en mere utæmmet lidenskab, samhørighed og spirituel vækst, der rækker ud over nuet og os selv.DAVID DEIDA er internationalt anerkendt som en af de mest indsigtsfulde og provokerende spirituelle lærere i vor tid. Hans mål er at revolutionere den måde, mænd og kvinder vokser spirituelt og seksuelt på. Hans bøger bliver blandt andet betragtet som nogle af de mest originale og autentiske bidrag til personlig og spirituel vækst. Den maskuline mand og Min elskede af ham er allerede udkommet på dansk.

Gud på anklagebænken er en mesterlig samling af essays og breve, der her får en renæssance. De har hver især deres indfaldsvinkel til den kristne tro. Intet af det er forældet – tværtimod synes teksterne at være om muligt endnu mere aktuelle i dag.C.S. Lewis havde en sjælden evne til at formidle kristendommens sandhed enkelt og klart. Teksterne, der er skrevet over en 20årig periode, er samlet af Lewis' sekretær Walter Hooper, der også har skrevet en fin introduktion til bogen. ”Det antikke menneske nærmede sig Gud, som en anklaget nærmer sig sin dommer. Det moderne menneske har vendt forholdet på hovedet: Han er dommeren, og Gud sidder på anklagebænken. Og han er ikke en urimelig dommer. Hvis Gud kan komme med en god forklaring på, hvorfor han tillader krig, fattigdom og sygdom, er hans menneskelige dommer parat til at lytte.“C.S. Lewis i Gud på anklagebænken

Centered around a reflective narrative recounting the experiences of a participatory action research project into leading online small groups for adults in the Church of Sweden Diocese of Stockholm during 2021 and 2022, the dissertation argues for the need to reconceptualize and reemphasize teaching as an important aspect in Christian religious education. Employing creative non-fiction methods, the dissertation aims to broaden the scope of the initial Online Small Groups project, by inviting readers to join into a "learning journey." The narrative account is complemented with more traditional forms of analysis that connect experiences from online small groups in the Church of Sweden to similar research from Anglo-Saxon countries, noting especially how notions of community diverge due to different ecclesiological understandings. Insights are then synthesized into eight teaching strategies aimed at communicating actionable knowledge to small group leaders, before noting how the study complements research on Christian religious education and, particularly, the current debate about learning and teaching in the Church of Sweden.

Have you wrestled with the complexity of classroom teaching? Have you often wondered what might be impeding your performance in the classroom? Parker J. Palmer's exploration into teaching and the problems that teachers encounter offers practical theories that address the questions one has or perhaps might not have thought to ask. This book is about Parker J. Palmer's theories of education interwoven with his spiritual vision of education. Undergirding the spiritual aspect of his vision is his theory about the significance of the teacher's authentic self. Within the narrative is the personal story of one teacher's daunting experiences as she ventured into the field of teaching after a career in the corporate world. Meeting Palmer while in graduate school, and closely studying his work, served to modify her perspective about teaching for the better. This ultimately changed her as a teacher in ways that could not have occurred had she not had this encounter. This book aims to inform as well as to help transform the experience of teaching for both teacher and student.

Reclaiming Men's Spirituality is a study that investigates men's spirituality by exploring three research questions: Can a form of spirituality about men be identified and described, how can this spirituality be examined, and what is it that needs to be reclaimed? To answer these questions and at the same time remain committed to the importance of lived experience, this study opted to investigate the lives of men by attending to ten spiritual histories. The study is situated in Malta, and the ten spiritual histories provide access to various features, expressions, and contours that relate closely to men's being. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with ten spiritual directors who have men as spiritual directees. Their contribution clarifies the structure of men's spirituality, the effort required when directing male spiritual directees and the impact generated in the lives of men thanks to spiritual direction. To provide a frame of reference for the examination of all the gathered data, John of the Cross's spiritual framework has been chosen as the mystical instrument against which men's spiritualities are studied, leading to richer insights into the operations, motives, goals, and problems of such spiritualities.

When they arrive they are each assigned a new identity themed around the Twelve Days of Christmas - they become Lady Partridge or Mr Gold; Lord Leapworth or Doctor Swan. The game begins, and it feels just like old times.Until the next morning, when Lady Partridge is found hanging from a pear tree.It quickly becomes clear that in this game, the murder will be all too real, and the story is bringing long-hidden secrets to the surface. If they hope to win the game and survive the festive season then they will need to face the truth about their history together, who they have become - and what really happened on that fateful night twelve years before.

The ALBERTINA modern exhibition presents Alfred Kubin's view of the world of evil, the predominant theme of his life and work. The aesthetics of evil prove to be the antithesis of a tranquil idyll for him, one of the most outstanding drawing artists of the twentieth century.

This catalogue explores Kubin's graphic cosmos of the ominous, his nightmares and obsessions and the iconography of evil.

In 1898, after a traumatic childhood in Zell am See and a series of mental crises, he began his artistic training in Munich. Kubin worked through his nightmares and obsessions in a large number of fantastic drawings.

Moreover, it presents queer-friendly impulses for pastoral care sermons, queer "re-readings" of biblical texts, prayers and rituals. The book shares exciting and touching stories from a pastoral-theological world that is usually still completely ignored. It combines professional pastoral care work with the question of how it can be offered to queer people in an appropriate and respectful way.

"You shouldn't feel like that" is a statement that demonstrates ignorance and unkindness, whether intentional or not. It invalidates the expression of the person revealing his or her inherent feelings and exploits that person's vulnerability. Research shows that this can result in mental health disorders, divorce, suicide, and even mass murders.Everyone has emotional experiences, and all the significant events of life include them; however, the causes and the consequences of emotions are among the least understood and underappreciated aspects of the human experience. Emotional integrity boldly intends to change that.This book presents conclusively that the disciplines of theology, social science, and medical science support the concept of emotional integrity and that the health and well-being of our society depends upon the understanding and acceptance of and adherence to this concept.This will not be an overnight transformation. Centuries of misunderstandings and decades of assertions based on them will need to be challenged until a broad enough base of theologians, educators, and mental health practitioners understand the concept of emotional integrity, accept it, and persuasively promote it. If they are successful, it is very likely that husbands and wives, parents and children, bosses and workers, friends and neighbors will experience healthy and fulfilled personal relationships.
