"The Way To Love contains the final flowering of Anthony de Mello's thought, and in it he grapples with the ultimate question of love. In thirty-one meditations, he implores his readers with his usual pithiness to break through illusion, the great obstacle to love. "Love springs from awareness," de Mello insists, saying that it is only when we see others as they are that we can begin to really love. But not only must we seek to see others with clarity, we must examine ourselves without misconception. The task, however, is not easy. "The most painful act," de Mello says, "is the act of seeing. But in that act of seeing that love is born." Anthony De Mello was the director of the Sadhana Institute of Pastoral Counseling in Poona, India, and authored several books. "The Way To Love is his last.

Jørgen Johansen inviterer læseren med på pilgrimsfærd i sporene på den berømte helgen, digter, prædikant, dyreven og miljøforkæmper Frans af Assisi (1181-1226).Rejsen begynder i Assisi, middelalderens blomstrende handelsby, hvor Frans af Assisi blev født ind i en købmandsfamilie, hvis penge og forbindelser gjorde det muligt for ham at rejse i store dele af Italien.Med Johansen som kyndigguide til epokens kultur, kunst og historie følger vi Frans’ rejser i Umbrien, men også til Venedig i nord og til Rom i syd. Områder, som Johansen beskriver så levende, at lyde, stemning og dufte kommer helt tæt på. Samtidig betyder Johansens store viden og kulturhistoriske overblik, at Frans’ egen epoke føles nærværende.PÅ FRANS AF ASSISIS VEJE fortæller den fascinerende historie om købmandsarvingen, der gav alt væk til de fattige, omgikkes spedalske, stiftede en munkeorden med fattigdom og ydmyghed som idealer og levede sit liv i pagt og harmoni med dyre- og planteverdenen. Arven efter Frans forvaltes i nutidens Assisi, som er blevet et centrum for spiritualitet og bæredygtig omgang med naturen.Bogen er rigt illustreret og gennemgår de største hovedværker i kunstnernes behandlinger af Frans af Assisi – fra middelalderen over renæssancen til moderne tid.PÅ FRANS AF ASSISIS VEJE er på én gang den ideelle ledsager til Italiensrejsen og i sig selv en Italiensrejse, som man kan nyde og varmes ved under de nordligere himmelstrøg.Om forfatterenJørgen Johansen, født 1941, er forfatter og journalist.

Krigerens Bog er ment som en invitation til at lukke troen, håbet og kærligheden ind i dit liv og få adgang til din kraft.Når vi såres, trækker kroppen sig sammen i forsvar - det samme sker, når vi såres i livet.Ofte forskanser vi os, lukker hjertet og sjælen hårdt sammen i overbevisningen om, at det lukkede og sammentrukne beskytter os. Men lukker vi for modet til at elske og lade os elske, lukker vi samtidig af for en del af livskraften.Vil du have adgangen til din fulde kraft, må du turde elske. Du må tillade en åbning i barrikaderne, stille dig frem for livet og sige: "her er jeg!". Måske bæver du i angst for afvisning, mens du gør det, fordi du ikke kender konsekvenserne. Alligevel må du finde modet til at give slip på frygten og hengive dig til livet og kærligheden.Kun gennem mindst én gang i livet at elske og lade dig elske, selv om du før har fået dit hjerte knust, får du adgang til din fulde kraft. For krigeren er kærlighed et valg. Uanset hvad du har med dig, hvor grufulde oplevelse og traumatiske hændelser der ligger i din fortid, uanset hvor lidt du har troen på, at det er muligt for dig at leve i og med kærlighed, er kærligheden stadig et valg.

A comprehensive guide to the understanding and practicing Buddhist meditationThe very idea that the teachings can be mastered will arouse controversy within Buddhist circles. Even so, Ingram insists that enlightenment is an attainable goal, once our fanciful notions of it are stripped away, and we have learned to use meditation as a method for examining reality rather than an opportunity to wallow in self-absorbed mind-noise.Ingram sets out concisely the difference between concentration-based and insight (vipassana) meditation; he provides example practices; and most importantly he presents detailed maps of the states of mind we are likely to encounter, and the stages we must negotiate as we move through clearly-defined cycles of insight.Its easy to feel overawed, at first, by Ingram's assurance and ease in the higher levels of consciousness, but consistently he writes as a down-to-earth and compassionate guide, and to the practitioner willing to commit themselves this is a glittering gift of a book.In this new edition of the bestselling book, the author rearranges, revises and expands upon the original material, as well as adding new sections that bring further clarity to his ideas.

You are what you love. But you might not love what you think.In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the "imagination station" that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship. Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book's content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith's popular presentations on the ideas in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up rearticulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers and includes new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work. He also suggests individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life.

Viktor Frankl is known to millions as the author of Man's Search for Meaning, his harrowing Holocaust memoir.

Here, he expands upon his groundbreaking ideas and searches for answers about life, death, faith and suffering. Believing that there is much more to our existence than meets the eye, he says: 'No one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel.'In Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning, Frankl explores our sometimes unconscious desire for inspiration or revelation. He explains how we can create meaning for ourselves and, ultimately, he reveals how life has more to offer us than we could ever imagine.
