Mans leef in ’n wêreld waar die rolle van manlikheid so verander het dat dit met
tye vir hulle moeilik is om te weet wie hulle werklik is en wat van hulle verwag
word. Die eise wat ’n gewone dag aan mans stel kan soms selfs die mees ervare
individu laat twyfel aan sy bevoegdhede. Die boek skep ’n bewustheid by mense,
en nie net mans nie, van die alledaagse en mees algemene lewensuitdagings
waarvoor mans te staan kom, en probeer hulle toerus met relevante inligting wat
hulle sal help om meer doeltreffende, emosioneel gelukkige en vervulde lewens te
lei. Die boek word verdeel in verhoudings- en lewensfase-uitdagings, verslawing,
gemoedsprobleme en traumatiese ervarings.
A unique and validating look at the tension you feel between
disillusionment and a desire for truth, Searching for Enough helps
you see your doubt not as an emotion to fear but as an invitation
to be followed. Do you ever find yourself thinking, "I'm not
enough, and I'm never going to be. And I know I'm not supposed to
say this, but God's not enough for me either." Whether or not we
attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith
is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live.
We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next
experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal
we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for
Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to
introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas:
history's most notorious skeptic. Like Thomas, we are caught
between two unsatisfying stories: We want to believe in God but
can't reconcile his presence with our circumstances and internal
struggles. But what if there's a better story than shame? What if
there's redemption so complete that there's nothing left to hide?
What if there is a God who can heal your resentments, fears, and
loneliness in such a profound way that you feel whole? From a place
of spiritual companionship and deep authenticity, Tyler shows us
that it is not an empty tomb that will change our lives, but the
presence of the living God. Whether you are a distant skeptic, an
involved doubter, or a busy but bored Christian, Searching for
Enough invites you to find enough in a God who offers the only
promises that never disappoint.

Letters to Marc About Jesus is a beautiful collection of Henri Nouwen's very intimate and very enlightening writings to Marc, his nineteen-year-old nephew, who struggles to find his true path in a world of confusion and apathy. Written with Nouwen's characteristic grace and wisdom, these letters bear witness to his conviction that anyone can find lasting spiritual fulfillment if they simply take the time to maintain a daily awareness of Jesus in every aspect of life. Powerful and profound, Letters to Marc About Jesus is Nouwen at his best--teacher, guide, and mentor--and will provide the direction and inspiration necessary for any believer to change his or her life.

overview and where needed, some in depth information and guidance

Religious rivalries have been at the root of many human conflicts
throughout history. Representatives of nine world religions offer
insights into the teachings of nonviolence within their tradition,
how practice has often fallen short of the ideals, and how they can
overcome the contagion of hatred through a return to traditional
teachings on nonviolence. Included are a new Foreword and Preface,
a new Introduction by Daniel Smith-Christopher, two new chapters on
Islam and the indigenous religion of the Maori, and a new Epilogue.
In addition, study questions have been added to each chapter.

In 1969, the writer and her husband set off for what is intended to
be a short holiday in Ibiza and end up taking the so-called hippie
route to Katmandu in Nepal. It is the true account, written first
as a journal and then daily, by a woman who takes this journey
without preparation, planning or travel agent and before the
instant communication of mobiles, tablets and email. In this fresh
and engrossing account of a journey taken nearly 50 years ago from
Europe to Asia, Carol Carlton vividly describes a world which has
changed dramatically in the decades since; as she travels, an inner
journey emerges as the landscape, people and the journey itself
have their effect upon the writer. This book is a must-read for
readers who are interested in travel and also for those who see
life as an adventure, not only through what we do, but how we view
the world, who we are and who we become. What emerges from this
wonderfully described travel account is an approach to the unknown
in the widest sense through life's journey. While their wanderings
lead them into many kinds of hardships and dangers, it seems as if
their spirit of open-heartedness itself keeps them safe from the
unexpected risks that present themselves. At the same time, it
reveals how this spirit of innocent curiosity allows people from
many countries, religions and ways of life to reveal their
innermost convictions and feelings to her. Nowhere is this more
poignant than in Syria.
