Religion: liv og lære

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

Find the truth. Solve the murder. Never reveal your secret.Twelve years ago, eight friends ran an exclusive group at university: The Murder Masquerade Society. The mysteries they solved may have been grisly, but they were always fictional - until their final Christmas Masquerade, when one of the group disappeared, never to be seen again.Now, the remaining members of the group receive an invitation to a reunion masquerade, to be held in a beautiful and remote country house in Scotland. 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 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. Trapped in his fantasies, he finds himself confronted with uncanny dream apparitions and a pronounced fear of the feminine, the night, and fate. This catalogue explores Kubin's graphic cosmos of the ominous, his nightmares and obsessions and the iconography of evil. ALFRED KUBIN (1877-1959) was an important Austrian draughtsman and graphic artist. 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.

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.

The Heart Surgery of the Potential Minister of the Gospel presents a series of lectures by Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum to Missionaries and would-be missionaries at the School of Knowing and Serving God (SKSG)-The Missionary Training Academy of Christian Missionary Fellowship International, Yaounde, Cameroon.Drawing from his own life experience and spiritual history with God, Professor Fomum, addressing specific co-workers, explained the kind of life and heart God desires and approves in a minister of the Gospel. He emphasized that God is primarily concerned about 'Who' the Gospel Minister is than what he actually does.In The Heart Surgery of the Potential Minister of the Gospel, the author emphasised the fact that the work of the Gospel requires a certain kind of worker-the right kind of worker in order to please and satisfy the Lord of the harvest. It is only work and service from such a heart that can meet God's approval. He taught extensively on the fact that the content and quality of the heart and life of a Minister of the Gospel is a determinant factor of his acceptance, usefulness, and impact in the service of God. Holiness, radical repentance, and the forsaking of all sins are the expedient attributes and qualifications of a competent minister of the gospel.This book is a must-read for every Minister and would-be Minister of the Gospel who desires that the Lord-the great Physician, should work through the Holy Spirit in him/her to perform the needed surgery that would produce a useful vessel whose life and work can find acceptance before God, bring joy to His heart and receive His approval and commendation.

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.

I Katolicismen: En rejse ind i troens hjerte søger biskop Robert Barron at indfange essensen af den katolske tro. Med udgangspunkt i Jesu Kristi liv og lære gennemgår Barron de vigtigste dele ved katolsk tro og kultur - fra sakramenter, tilbedelse og bøn, til Maria, apostlene og helgenerne, til en forklaring af begreber som nåde, frelse, himmel og helvede - med talrige referencer til kunst, litteratur, arkitektur, personlige historier, den hellige skrift, filosofi og historie.Forfatteren skriver: "Jeg vil tage dig med på en guidet udforskning af den katolske verden, men ikke som om det var en guidet tur i et kulturhistorisk museum. Jeg vil føre dig ind i Inkarnationens mysterium i håbet om, at du må blive forvandlet ved dens kraft.” Bogen er blevet til på baggrund af de manuskripter, Barron satte sammen til produktionen af en populær TV-serie Catholicism fra 2011. Han skriver: "De tre år, som jeg brugte på at planlægge, skrive, rejse, filme og redigere den filmserie, udgør en uforglemmelig del af mit liv.” Bogen Katolicismen er et uundværligt bidrag til enhver, der ønsker at udforske den kristne tros dybder. Den er en fantastisk gennemgang af katolsk tro og historie og dens betydning for vores verden af i dag. Bogen er rigt illustreret med farvebilleder.

L'année dernière, j'ai fait un séjour d'un mois dans l'une des grandes puissances du monde. Il est dit que la population de ce pays est constituée à vingt-cinq pour cent de Chrétiens. Oui, la prétention est que, une personne sur quatre est née de nouveau.Il m'a aussi été dit que le taux de divorce montait en flèche. Un ministre de l'Evangile m'a même dit que le taux de divorce parmi les croyants était tout aussi élevé que parmi les non-croyants.Il m'a été dit que des ministres-dirigeants de l'Evangile étaient en train de divorcer d'avec leurs femmes et d'en épouser d'autres tout en continuant à avoir les bénédictions de Dieu sur leurs grands ministères.Ceci m'a fait réfléchir ! Etaient-ils en train d'utiliser une Bible différente de la mienne? Etions-nous dans différentes religions?Je commençai à réfléchir sérieusement sur ce sujet. Je lus et relus les Ecritures.Tu trouveras dans les pages qui suivent le fruit de mon étude.Que Dieu te bénisse pendant que tu lis ce livre.

While the social and cultural history of the early modern military has greatly advanced in the last few decades, the religious dimension of the military life in the Holy Roman Empire between 1500 and 1650 has hardly been explored. The Reformation's brought profound political, social and cultural upheavals, but the religiosity of the men and women who followed the Christian life in the chaos of war still represents a large gap in the historiography. Faith in War shows that confessional antagonisms lost much of their meaning during war and coexistence became a fact of army life. Connecting military and civilian social and cultural history in these ways, Nikolas Funke's case study on this period brings new life to important current historiographical discussions in a military context, including stereotyping, confessionalization, social discipline, deviance, toleration, religious violence, and the culture of death.

"This beautifully written memoir is for anyone who has walked a hard road and wondered how to get to the other side. Stephanie Duncan Smith promises that it's not through grit and force that you will find a way forward, but through leaning in to the promises that hold true when all seems lost. Duncan Smith's personal disorientation began when she lost her first pregnancy on the winter solstice's longest night, just as the world readied to celebrate its most historic birth on Christmas. Then a new yet uncertain pregnancy unfolded in parallel to the global pandemic, until one year nearly to the day of her loss, she gave birth to her daughter whose birthday marked the peak of pandemic death in their city. This clash prompted a desperate search for steadiness, in which the liturgical year became an anchoring force. In Even After Everything, Duncan Smith looks to the church's calendar as a way of finding and reorienting ourselves within the sacred story of Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, and Ordinary Time. The Christian year illuminates a full circle of love, loss, and liminality, holding space for the full spectrum of the human experience. At its heart lives the promise of God-With-Us, inviting us into the spiritual practice of living well by accepting that there is a time for everything, and trusting that in whatever moment we find ourselves, we are never truly alone"--

Discover a rich legacy of audacious women who forged a spirituality that is more inclusive, surprising, and empowering than we ever imagined.“The feminist reading of women mystics I’ve wanted for ages . . . invites us into the hopeful possibility for communal healing that we desperately need right now.”—Sarah Bessey, bestselling author of Field Notes for the Wilderness and Jesus FeministIs there a Christian spirituality that embraces the entire reality of womanhood?The answer, Shannon K. Evans suggests, is an emphatic yes. There is a spirituality that meets us in every part of our lives, developed by the women who came before us. Six mystics—Teresa of Ávila, Margery Kempe, Hildegard of Bingen, Julian of Norwich, Catherine of Siena, and Thérèse of Lisieux—revealed a faith big enough to hold the female experiences of sex and desire, the yearning for bodily autonomy, the challenges of motherhood and identity, as well as life with male authority and—sometimes—violence. These women, self-determining, stubborn, and unapologetically themselves, asked questions in their time that are startlingly prescient today, and fought for women’s experiences to be heard, understood, respected, and recognized as holy.In The Mystics Would Like a Word, readers will discover the story of Christian faith and spirituality as told by these extraordinary and wise women, one that speaks directly to today’s unique experiences, and leads to wholeness, healing, and spiritual vitality.
