Hvad tror vi egentlig på i den danske folkekirke? Kirkens bekendelsesskrifter giver svaret. Et af de vigtigste er Lutherslille Katekismus.

Enkelt og med paralleller til hverdagen giver Troens lommebog en kort og letforståeligindføring i de fleste sider af den kristne tro.Troens lommebog kom første gang i 1994. I denne nye udgave er teksten ført up to date og udvidet med bl.a. nogle småforklaringer til ord og begreber.

Muhammad er Islams profet, han er central i en verdensreligion og i den debat, der præger vores samtid. Han er også verdenskultur: Muhammad (o. 570-632) har formet historien, men den har også formet ham. Ligesom Jesus har profeten en lang fortolkningshistorie, og de historiske udviklinger har gjort ham til den, han er i dag. Professor i islamiske studier Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen indleder sin bog med en fremstilling af, hvad der vides om den historiske Muhammad, centreret omkring de centrale begivenheder i hans liv og karriere, og derpå tages læseren med gennem en fortælling om Muhammad fra tiden efter hans død til i dag. I en række kronologiske og tematiske kapitler skriver Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen en nuanceret, levende og vidtfavnende historie frem om profeten og den måde, enhver tid har set sine idealer og ideer legemliggjort i Muhammad.

I Barnets Bibel gendigter Kim Fupz Aakeson 60 af de allervigtigste bibelhistorier fra Det Gamle og Det Nye Testamente og giver os dermed en børnebibel, som både børn og voksne kan nyde. For Fupz skriver som en drøm, og Biblen er fuld af fantastiske historier, som vi alle fortjener at høre. Biblen handler om mange ting. Der er historier om brødre, der ikke kan komme overens. Der er historier om konger, der er bange for deres trone. Der er historier, der handler om krig, om magre køer, om trompeter, der vælter mure, om et land, der flyder med mælk og honning. Men først og sidst handler Biblen nok om kærlighed. Barnets Bibel er en samling af de 60 vigtigste bibelhistorier, gennemillustreret af Signe Kjær og smukt pakket ind i en gavebog til alle aldre. Fra ca. 4 år.

Nu kommer afslutningen på Francine Rivers medrivende familiesaga om forholdet mellem mødre og døtre. Det er en fascinerende saga, der i to bind indgående følger fire generationer af kvinder gennem det særdeles omskiftende 20. århundrede.I første bind 'En Moders Håb' fulgte man den unge pige Marta og hendes datter Hildemara gennem den første halvdel af århundredet med alle deres drømme, håb og indbyrdes konflikter. Dette bind begynder hvor det første bind sluttede, og følger Hildemaras datter, Carolyn, og hendes vanskeligheder med at finde accept. Ligesom i første bind skifter fokus i løbet af bogen, og Carolyns datter May Flower Dawn bliver hovedpersonen for slutningen af sagaen hvor 4 generationers ophobede konflikter finder deres forløsning.Amerikas sociale og politiske historie danner en spændende baggrund for personernes udvikling, og man kommer på tæt hold af Vietnam-krigen, hippietiden og sidst, men ikke mindst krigen mod terror efter 11. september. Men bogen er meget mere end et interessant tidsbillede, den udforsker også indgående de konflikter og misforståelser, der kan opstå mellem personer, der egentlig elsker hinanden højt, men som på grund af forskellige omstændigheder aldrig får talt sammen, og den forløsning, der kan komme, når det endelig lykkes at få talt ud. Bag det hele ligger personernes kristne tro og deres kampe for at leve et kristent liv midt i en sekulariseret verden. Bogen skildrer levende hvordan Gud aldrig slipper sine, men møder dem, også i den dybeste nød, med sin betingelsesløse kærlighed der rækker ud efter mennesker selv når kirken svigter.

Hun har kun tilbage at udtrykke sin desperation overfor sin Himmelske Far, hendes eneste ven. Men via uforudsigelige veje bringer Gud nu forandringer ind i hendes liv - den unge universitets studerende, som tror han har alle svarene og det barnebarn, som Leota aldrig havde turdet håbe på at møde.Kan så megen ulykke, forårsaget af mange års familie hemmeligheder, nå at blive vendt før hendes tid er forbi?

Troende eller ateist? Fronterne står stejlt over for hinanden, men er det nødvendigt? Nej, siger forfatteren til Tro og tvivl. Der er nemlig meget, der forener troende og ikke-troende, kristne og ateister. Bogen ser på nogle af de ting, der netop kan forene, og på den fælles verden, kristne og ateister kan tage udgangspunkt i. Tro og tvivl indeholder desuden tre længere interviews:Med en troende: sognepræst, ph.d. og forfatter Pia SøltoftMed en frafalden i troen: filosof og forfatter Peter TudvadMed en erklæret ateist: forfatteren Karl Ove Knausgård.

"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fright..."What if St. Nicholas was really a young, mad trickster and you had the one thing he wanted? What if the only person who agreed to protect you from him had a past of letting those he's meant to protect die? What if you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and you gained the ability to see a whole other world tucked into the cracks of your own?Helen Bell is a student with a past she'd rather not remember and a high school social life that doesn't exist. Almost everyone she passes either forgets she's there or doesn't notice her in the first place. She survives her life in the shadows by focusing on her studies. Until the day everything changes. When a strange encounter leaves Helen able to see a species of invisible people existing among us, naturally she assumes she's going delusional or is getting ill from the cold Canadian weather. But when a young, handsome Winter guardian appears to aid her in a crisis, and a train horn starts blasting over the city in a search to hunt her down, she finds herself in the middle of a war where nothing is quite as it seems, and what's "right" isn't always right. "No matter what happens," her Winter guardian warns as creatures all down the street begin to shriek and freeze in place, "Don't move a muscle..." Zane Cohen is a young, retired Patrolman. Even though he craves mischief and would rather play tricks on snow rabbits than get dragged back into the guardian life, he finds he can't help himself when he meets Helen Bell. She's not suitable to play the games of the Rime Folk. If she's not careful, she's going to get herself killed. And he shouldn't care, but... But a long time ago, he believed in an ancient "Truth". This same Truth begins calling Helen's name across the snow, forcing her to make the ultimate decision to either run back to her empty life, or do the unthinkable-to face off with the Snow Queen in The Quarrel of Sword and Bone; a match that takes place in a Winter arena before one thousand witnesses and will likely mean certain death. So, the retired Patrolman becomes not so retired after all. A Soul as Cold as Frost is Jennifer Kropf's debut novel, ideal for fans of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S.

"In this new holiday-themed novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Mistletoe Promise and The Walk, a man receives the best Christmas present he could ask for: the chance to re-write the past. Jason Chercher is not doing well in love or life. Just two weeks after his wife leaves him he receives a phone call that his estranged mother has passed away, days before Christmas--leaving her home and all her belongings to him. Frankly, he would like to see everything just burned. But curiosity about his past and anxiety about his future fuels him to make the drive from Salt Lake City to her home in Medford, Oregon. Maybe cleaning out her house will be slightly less depressing than spending the holidays, alone, watching re-runs of Christmas classics. While going through her things he comes upon her diary and the record of his childhood. He learns that his mother suffered from severe depression and during that difficult time he was taken care of by a young, unwed mother who was living with his family. The only clue he has to the woman's identity is her name: Noel, which is an eerily fitting discovery on Christmas Eve. As Jason reads the diary he begins to uncover the source of his pain in relationships and understand that what he believed to be the truth of his past was actually a lie. That's when he begins a journey to find Noel, wondering if she might hold the truth he needs to bring him peace and love"--
