Forfatteren tar for seg kunstarven fra mayafolket. De skapte arkitektur, skulpturer, malerier og smykker. Mye har fortsatt mystikkens slør over seg, særlig profetiene og de nøyaktige beregningene av stjernenes og planetenes bevegelser som astronom-prestene foretok. Boken tar også for seg skriftspråket, årelatingssermoniene, soldyrking og ballspillet som sto sentralt i mayaenes åndelige verden. Har litteraturliste og stikkordregister.

«Christopher Jamison demonstrerer på briljant vis hvordan poesi og litteratur, om så av St. Teresa av Avila eller Marilynne Robinson, åpner for oss et nådens språk, som forvandler hvordan vi lytter og snakker, leser og skriver.» Timothy Radcliffe OP Christopher Jamison er vel kjent i England gjennom radio og TV - i sær TV-serien «The Monastery» på BBC (Jamison er benediktinermunk) - samt sine bøker, som er utgitt på norsk av Efrem forlag. «Ditt hellige rom» var en oppfølger til den nevnte TV-serien, og senere kom «Lykke - klostervisdom for et godt liv». Jamison viser nå igjen sin evne til å formidle åndelig innsikt på en tilgjengelig måte. Denne gang om nåde - grace. Det engelske grace har et bredt betydningsspekter som rommer idéen om det elegante, det yndige, det sømmelige og det velvillige, så vel som den spesifikt teologiske idéen om Guds nåde og barmhjertighet. «Å finne nådens språk · Gjenoppdagelse av det transcendente» fokuserer på opplevelsene av nåde, som kjærlighet og glede, skjønnhet og godhet, og som vi sliter med å snakke om i dagens svært så business-aktige kultur, selv i kirkens indre liv. «Nådens språk er universelt; alle kan lære å snakke det, enten de har en klart uttrykt religiøs tro eller ikke», skriver Jamison; hvordan gjenoppretter vi tillit? Hvordan kan vi lytte godt? Hva er den rette måten å lese tidens tegn på? Og hvordan kan vi revitalisere nådens språk i vår tid?

A CANADIAN POETRY BOOK OF THE YEAR, THE NATIONAL POST WINNER OF THE PAT LOWTHER MEMORIAL AWARD "Alexandra Oliver has many arrows in her quiver--all of them sharpened to a fine point. This is an excellent and entertaining collection."--TIMOTHY STEELE In Meeting the Tormentors in Safeway, Alexandra Oliver zooms in on the inertias, anxieties, comedies, cruelties, and epiphanies of domestic life: They all had names like Jennifer or Lynne or Katherine; they all had bone-blonde hair, that wet, flat cut with bangs. They pulled your chair from underneath you, shoved their small fists in your face. Too soon, you knew it would begin, those minkish teeth like shrapnel in the air, the Bacchic taunts, the Herculean dare, their soccer cleats against your porcine shin, that laugh, which sounded like a hundred birds escaping from a gunshot through the reeds-- and now you have to face it all again: the joyful freckled faces lost for words in supermarkets, as those red hands squeeze your own. It's been so long! They say. Amen.Oliver's poems, which she describes as "text-based home movies," unveil a cinematic vision of suburbia at once comical and poignant: framed to renew our curiosity in the mundane and pressing rhyme and metre to their utmost, Meeting the Tormentors in Safeway is a five-star performance from Canada's new formalist sensation. "Alexandra Oliver is in full command of a saber wit and impeccable ear. Lucky the reader along for the ride."--JEANNE MARIE BEAUMONT "Brilliantly contemporary poems in traditional forms, the work of a stunning new voice."--CHARLES MARTIN Alexandra Oliver was born in Vancouver, Canada and divides her time between Toronto and Glasgow, Scotland. Her most recent book is Meeting the Tormentors in Safeway (Biblioasis). She currently teaches in the Stonecoast MFA Program at the University of Southern Maine.

'Orthodoxy claims to be universal . . .'Since its first publication fifty years ago, Timothy Ware's book has become established throughout the English-speaking world as the standard introduction to the Orthodox Church. Orthodoxy continues to be a subject of enormous interest among western Christians, and the author believes that an understanding of its standpoint is necessary before the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches can be reunited. In this revised and updated edition he explains the Orthodox views on such widely ranging matters as Ecumenical Councils, Sacraments, Free Will, Purgatory, the Papacy and the relation between the different Orthodox Churches.

From the author: "For the last two years, I've interviewed nearly two hundred world-class performers for my podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. The guests range from super celebs (Jamie Foxx, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.) and athletes (icons of powerlifting, gymnastics, surfing, etc.) to legendary Special Operations commanders and black-market biochemists. For most of my guests, it's the first time they've agreed to a two-to-three-hour interview, and the show is on the cusp of passing 100 million downloads. "This book contains the distilled tools, tactics, and 'inside baseball' you won't find anywhere else. It also includes new tips from past guests, and life lessons from new 'guests' you haven't met. "What makes the show different is a relentless focus on actionable details. This is reflected in the questions. For example: What do these people do in the first sixty minutes of each morning? What do their workout routines look like, and why? What books have they gifted most to other people? What are the biggest wastes of time for novices in their field? What supplements do they take on a daily basis? "I don't view myself as an interviewer. I view myself as an experimenter. If I can't test something and replicate results in the messy reality of everyday life, I'm not interested. "Everything within these pages has been vetted, explored, and applied to my own life in some fashion. I've used dozens of the tactics and philosophies in high-stakes negotiations, high-risk environments, or large business dealings. The lessons have made me millions of dollars and saved me years of wasted effort and frustration. "I created this book, my ultimate notebook of high-leverage tools, for myself. It's changed my life, and I hope the same for you."

Det politiske klimaet i USA og Europa er i endring og i 2017 står vi overfor trusler som minner om totalitære tendenser som i ulike tapninger preget Europa i forrige århundre. Det er grunn til uro, bekrefter historikeren Timothy Snyder. Få kjenner det 20. århundres overskridelser bedre enn ham. Historien gjentar seg ikke, men den kan vise vei. Derfor har han skrevet en guide i 20 kapitler om hva vi skal passe på, og hva vi kan gjøre. I det tjuende århundre kollapset europeiske demokratier i fascisme, nazisme og kommunisme. Dette var bevegelser der lederne av de politiske partiene hevdet at de var gitt makten av folket og skulle være folkets stemme. De skulle beskytte folket mot trusler, gjerne av global art, de så bort fra fakta og lot halvsanne myter påvirke beslutninger. Europeisk historie viser oss at samfunn kan bryte sammen, demokratier kan falle, etikken kollapse og helt vanlige folk kan bli satt i uvirkelige situasjoner. Timothy Snyder presenterer 20 ting vi kan lære av det 20. århundre. Boken er basert på en liste han skrev etter presidentvalget i USA, som raskt ble spredt på sosiale medier. Dette er en viktig bok ikke bare for amerikanere, men for oss alle, nå som populistiske og autoritære tendenser er blitt tydeligere både i USA og i Europa. Snyder er professor i historie, og har spesialisert seg på Det tredje riket og Holocaust: «Dagens amerikanere er ikke smartere enn europeerne, deres demokratier ble overgitt til fascisme, nazisme og kommunisme i det 20. århundre. En av USAs fordeler er at de kanskje kan lære av andres erfaringer. Akkurat nå ville være et godt tidspunkt å gjøre det.»

How to improve your game and discover your true potential by increasing your concentration, willpower and confidence Described by Billie Jean King as her 'tennis bible', Timothy Gallwey's multi-million bestseller, including a new introduction from acclaimed sports psychologist Geoff Beattie, has been a phenomenon for players of all abilities since it was first published in 1972. Instead of concentrating on how to improve your technique, it starts from the understanding that 'every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game'. The former is played against opponents on the court, but the latter is a battle within ourselves as we try and overcome self-doubt and anxiety. It is often won or lost before a ball has been hit. Gallwey's revolutionary approach, built on a foundation of Zen thinking and humanistic psychology, will teach you how to develop your concentration, work on your gamesmanship and help you break bad habits. You will also learn how to trust yourself on the court and how to maintain clarity of mind throughout the match, giving you a clear psychological advantage over your opponent. Whether you are an amateur or a pro, The Inner Game of Tennis is essential reading for overcoming the self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses of concentration that can keep a player from winning. It is guaranteed to change the way you play tennis forever.
