A Saint from Texas - White Edmund White - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) - Plusbog.dk

______________ 'An epic novel' - Telegraph 'A worldly wise delight' - Observer 'Another brilliant accomplishment from one of the country s most indispensable writers' - Texas Observer ______________ From legendary writer Edmund White, a bold and sweeping new novel that traces the extraordinary fates of twin sisters, one destined for Parisian nobility and the other for Catholic sainthood Yvette and Yvonne Crawford are twin sisters, born on a humble patch of East Texas prairie but bound for far grander fates. Just as an untold fortune of oil lies beneath their daddy s land, both girls harbour their own secrets and dreams ones that will carry them far from Texas and from each other. As the decades unfold, Yvonne will ascend the highest ranks of Parisian society as Yvette gives herself to a lifetime of worship and service in the streets of Jeric , Colombia. And yet, even as they remake themselves in their radically different lives, the twins find that the bonds of family and the past are unbreakable. Spanning the 1950s to the recent past, Edmund White s marvellous novel serves up an immensely pleasurable epic of two Texas women as their lives traverse varied worlds: the swaggering opulence of the Dallas nouveau riche, the airless pretention of the Paris gratin and the strict piety of a Colombian convent. ______________ 'Like a waltz that goes out of control, this is a wild, dizzying, joyful romp ... I loved it' - Ann Beattie 'White s deeply satisfying character study demonstrates his profound abilities' - Publishers Weekly 'One of the three or four most virtuosic living writers of sentences in the English language' - Dave Eggers '... sacred as well as secular, and always sensuously alive' - Joyce Carol Oates

Science in Medieval Islam - Howard R. Turner - Bog - University of Texas Press - Plusbog.dk

Science in Medieval Islam - Howard R. Turner - Bog - University of Texas Press - Plusbog.dk

During the Golden Age of Islam (seventh through seventeenth centuries A.D.), Muslim philosophers and poets, artists and scientists, princes and laborers created a unique culture that has influenced societies on every continent. This book offers a fully illustrated, highly accessible introduction to an important aspect of that culture—the scientific achievements of medieval Islam. Howard Turner opens with a historical overview of the spread of Islamic civilization from the Arabian peninsula eastward to India and westward across northern Africa into Spain. He describes how a passion for knowledge led the Muslims during their centuries of empire-building to assimilate and expand the scientific knowledge of older cultures, including those of Greece, India, and China. He explores medieval Islamic accomplishments in cosmology, mathematics, astronomy, astrology, geography, medicine, natural sciences, alchemy, and optics. He also indicates the ways in which Muslim scientific achievement influenced the advance of science in the Western world from the Renaissance to the modern era. This survey of historic Muslim scientific achievements offers students and general readers a window into one of the world''s great cultures, one which is experiencing a remarkable resurgence as a religious, political, and social force in our own time.

Narrenes Fest - James Lee Burke - Bog - Hovedland - Plusbog.dk

Narrenes Fest - James Lee Burke - Bog - Hovedland - Plusbog.dk

Lovens lange arm er aldrig lang nok i den lille sydvestlige grænseby i Texas, hvor Hackberry Holland er sat til at sørge for lov og orden. USA og ikke mindst Texas synes at være på sammenbruddets rand. Det samme kan siges om Hackberry Holland, der stadig er i sorg over tabet af sin elskede hustru. Han har rodet sig ud i en farefuld romance med sin vicesheriff, Pam Tibbs. Hackberry Holland fungerer som ondskabens magnet i ørkenens grænseland, måske i forsøget på at holde sine egne dæmoner i skak. Da den alkoholiserede eksbokser Danny Boy Lorca bliver vidne til, at en mand tortureres til døde og efterfølgende melder det, fører Hackberry Hollands efterforskning ham til Anton Ling, en mystisk kinesisk kvinde, som de lokale kalder La Magdalena, og som er kendt for at skjule illegale indvandrere. Ling benægter at have kendskab til både offer og gerningsmænd, men noget i hendes bestemte opførsel og aristokratiske skønhed tvinger Hackberry til igen og igen at vende tilbage til hende. Hackberry Hollands eksistentielle kamp imod lokale banditter og deres bagmænd er et led i en større kamp: udvekslingen af narko for våben, ødelæggelsen af de amerikanske storbyer og fastholdelsen af reaktionære banditregimer i latinamerika er grundpillerne i den krig, de kalder samfundet. Det er temaet i James Lee Burkes storslåede Narrenes Fest.

What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me? - David (univ Of Texas At Austin) Platt - Bog - Tyndale House Publishers - Plusbog.dk

What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me? - David (univ Of Texas At Austin) Platt - Bog - Tyndale House Publishers - Plusbog.dk

You may think you are a Christian—but are you sure? Jesus’ call to follow him is more than an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life and find new life and ultimate joy in him. In David Platt’s book Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live he asks the question, “What did Jesus really mean when he said, ‘Follow me’?” What if we really listened to Jesus’ words and heard what he is saying? When people truly engage with Jesus’ personal invitation to follow him, everything changes, for he is worthy of all our trust and affections. What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me? builds on the message of Follow Me to motivate readers to experience our grand purpose: to exalt the glory of God by spreading Christ’s gospel—to make disciples who are making disciples. This booklet is a great resource to share with others to discuss crucial faith questions in a personal and grace-filled manner and engage others to be disciple-makers in obedience to Jesus. Ideal for small groups or personal and mass evangelism, this pamphlet covers: - The issue of sin - The role of the church in a Christian’s transformation - The importance of spreading the gospel and making new disciples David Platt, author of Radical and Counter Culture , helps you examine your life according to the biblical standard and discover what it truly means to live for Christ.

Midnight On Strange Street - K. E. Ormsbee - Bog - Disney Book Publishing Inc. - Plusbog.dk

A tight-knit group of friends discovers their powers... AVERY MILLER is looking for a fresh start, away from all the bomb sirens and talk of war in Los Angeles. She expects to find a haven in Callaway, Texas, where the cool new substance "glow" was first discovered. What she doesn''t count on is making friends with glowboard skaters Dani, Bastian, and Lola, AKA the Sardines? DANI HIRSCH, captain of the Sardines, knows for a fact they''re the best glowboarding team in Texas -- if only they could prove it. Nothing will distract Dani from leading the team to victory at this summer''s big race. Not even food explosions in the school cafeteria, or a mysterious midnight message, or the appearance of secretive government workers in Callaway? BASTIAN GIL is sick of the bullies who tease him for being a Sardine, for being different. Sure, he and his twin sister Lola can share thoughts. That''s just twin telepathy, though -- nothing too weird, right? But when Bastian finds he can do even stranger things, he starts to wonder if maybe he really is different from the other kids at school? LOLA GIL wants life to go back to normal, to a time before big glowboard races and government investigations. But the more the Sardines discover about themselves -- like how they can share thoughts and move objects with their minds -- the more Lola begins to fear there was never anything normal about her. In fact, she and the Sardines might be dangerous ? When the Sardines receive an ominous, otherworldly message, they must decide if they''ll use their newfound powers to stop an impending disaster -- one that could have more to do with the war, their bullies, and glowboarding than they can possibly imagine.

Skriftemålet - Wilfrid Stinissen David Vincent Nielsen - Bog - Katolsk forlag - Plusbog.dk

Skriftemålet - Wilfrid Stinissen David Vincent Nielsen - Bog - Katolsk forlag - Plusbog.dk

Længslen efter forsoning og åndelig vækstligger dybt i mennesket. Denne bog viser hen til det kristne svar på disse længsler: forsoningens sakramente (skriftemålet) og åndelig vækst gennem regelmæssig samvittighedsransagelse. Forsoningens sakramente er Guds udstrakte hånd, men vi skal gribe den for at kunne modtage Hans hjælp. Det er ofte sværere, end man tror, og skriftemålet hører da også til dem af Kirkens gode tilbud, der ikke værdsættes efter fortjeneste. Det kan have flere grunde, som broder Wilfrid Stinissen OCD i sit bidrag til denne bog også kommer ind på, men det er ikke desto mindre synd og skam. Skriftemålet trænger til at blive genopdaget. En af grundene til, at skriftemålet ikke rigtig værdsættes, er måske, at vi har vænnet os af med at pleje det åndelige liv, vænnet os af med at se åndelig vækst som en opgave for enhver af os. Her lever vi for tiden i en overgangstid, for personlig, åndelig vækst er på ny blevet et tema i offentligheden. Kirken råder på dette punkt over en stor rigdom af spirituelle traditioner, der kan hjælpe og støtte sand åndelig vækst. En af de vigtigste og mest effektive af disse traditioner går tilbage til Sankt Ignatius af Loyola, og det er den, broder David Vincent Nielsen OCD øser af i sit bidrag om samvittighedsransagelse og åndelig vækst. Bogen afsluttes med to skriftespejle og ritualet for skriftemål.

Almost Gone - Mackenzie Baldwin - Bog - Howard Books - Plusbog.dk

Almost Gone - Mackenzie Baldwin - Bog - Howard Books - Plusbog.dk

The harrowing true story of a high-school senior, her parents, her secret online relationship with a handsome, manipulative stranger, and her well-laid plan to leave home and country to marry a man in Kosovo she thought she loved. The Baldwins were a strong, tight-knit family living in Texas. When their seventeen-year-old daughter, Mackenzie, met Aadam in an online chat room, she fell for his good looks, his charm, and his respectful conversation. He lived in Kosovo, and they began talking regularly. The more attached Mackenzie became to Aadam, the more detached she became from her family. Mackenzie’s parents, John and Stephanie Baldwin, had no clue there was a man behind their daughter’s sudden change in personality, her surprising interest in Islam, and her withdrawal from friends and family. When Mackenzie’s attachment to Aadam increased and they became “engaged,” Mackenzie started making plans to fly secretly to Kosovo and marry Aadam. But twenty-five days before Mackenzie was scheduled to leave the country, three friends in whom Mackenzie had confided told Mackenzie’s father. Through the help of their pastor, John Baldwin contacted the FBI and asked for help. The FBI did not believe Aadam was involved with ISIS or that he was trying to radicalize her, but they were concerned about Aadam’s intentions, as that part of Kosovo was known for sex-trafficking and money scams. With just 72 hours left before Mackenzie’s planned departure, three FBI agents confronted her and urged her to stay. Told from the viewpoint of both father and daughter, Almost Gone allows us to walk with this family through Mackenzie’s network of lies and deceit and John and Stephanie’s escalating bewilderment and alarm. More than a cautionary tale, this is the story of unconditional parental love and unwavering faith, and how God helped a family save their daughter from a relationship that jeopardized not only her happiness, but also her safety.

The Light Is Winning - Zach J. Hoag - Bog - Zondervan - Plusbog.dk

The Light Is Winning - Zach J. Hoag - Bog - Zondervan - Plusbog.dk

If anyone had good reason to join the league of the “Nones,” the “Dones,” and the deconstructionists, it would be Zach Hoag. After growing up and out of the compound walls of a Texas cult, and becoming a failed church planter in one of the most post-Christian cities in America, Zach was faced with both a crisis and a choice. He loved Jesus, yet questioned: If the church is such a broken system, is it really worth belonging to anymore? The viral upswing of the “spiritual but not religious” trend has cast religion as going rapidly out of style. Yet even in his own desert of deconstruction, Zach couldn’t shake his desire for a spiritual home. His search ultimately led him to look behind the statistics, where Zach found an astonishing undercurrent subversively at work. The truth, as Zach discovered, is that we are in a cultural moment of apocalypse. Not an end-of-the-world apocalypse, but in the very literal sense of the word which translates simply, “a revealing.” Perhaps the downtrend of Christian faith in America is just the kind of Great Revealing we need to show us who we really are as American Christians, who Jesus really is in our midst, and how we can step into the flourishing faith he has always intended for us. For anyone who is anxious about the future of the church and their place in it, The Light Is Winning rallies to an unexpected, unshakeable hope: Could it be that we’ve made religion out to be the culprit when in fact, religion is just what we need to revive us? Could it be that our struggle for relevance must come to a necessary end, so that we can get to the real? After all, isn’t this the essence of the story of God: death paves the way for a resurrected, deeply rooted, flourishing faith. Such faith can be yours. The Light Is Winning will show you how.
