Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - One Night explores the events surrounding the violent fall of the communist regime in Romania in December of 1989 as seen through the wide eyes of its young lead character. Smart, bright eyed, later hurt and damaged Andrea Tudor is a fluid mirror of the events she witnesses. An old Romanian popular ballad - the Legend of Master Manole - is the philosophical foundation for the events: Manole is the symbol of letting go of one's love for a bigger cause. Andrea comes of age trying to understand the deeper meaning of this mysterious ballad as her own fate seems connected to it. The characters are therefore deeply embossed in the country's immediate and even remote history. To some extent a sense of cultural hopelessness restricts their perceived possibilities.In exploring how people do not follow their hearts and are frequently afraid to trust one another, the book talks about real love and loss. And yet in the very surprising end, it comes together as full of hope as well.Seen through the eyes of brain injured Andrea, the plot is divided between reality and fantasy. The past is to her just as alive as the present.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - I really like the premise of this book. I've often described the church I lead, Seacoast Church, as the slowest growing mega church in America. We opened with 340 people the first Sunday and didn't reach that number again in average attendance for five years.I remember hearing about church plants that immediately rocketed into the stratosphere and immediately becoming discouraged at our lack of progress. 'What was wrong with us ' I questioned my call, our strategy, and on many occasions wanted to give up and do something else.I wish Matt Keller would have written this book back then. I like this guy. He's one of us.not flashy or all that hip. Just determined and committed to doing the little things right. He encourages us that just because we don't connect with the long bomb right away, God still has a plan for us.I'm reminded of Galatians 6:9 - 'Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.'That is Matt's story, it is my story, and it could be yours also. Keep running it up-the-middle and who knows, God just might use your church to do things in your city that will surprise everyone.maybe even you.Greg SurrattSeacoast ChurchCharleston, SC.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'A career in music . is a calling with such a strong pull; you'd think a tide was sucking you under.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The fool on the hill, the prison-keeper in the central spindle, and other iterations of cosmocentrism. Each of us is a universe, and each distinct set of id perception rules and abides within the very center. Daily and lifetime events swirl about us. Sometimes we dispassionately observe, sometimes we interact, and sometimes we are acted upon, whether we are willing participants or not. Billions of universes come into existence and wink out of the random void like some great humanistic exercise in quantum physics. Within these pages lie the occasionally offbeat threads of perception and musing of one, single, universe. Sitting within the observation booth of my body (which itself is not always sitting, thank goodness, but lately tends towards rust and entropy), and trapped within its limits: I think, therefore I write poetry. .More or less. We live within boundaries (not sold in stores; sizes may vary). There exist the often inconvenient limits of governing physical law and, further, a total lack of freedom within the 4th dimension. Many other boundaries are carefully crafted and self-imposed to enclose the known and the safe. Any universe is a holistic and limited construct. 'Limitlessness' exists as potential, but we can't process the information: Super-agoraphobia, implanted in the primal psyche. So the walls come up. All of these facets, in sum, amount to prison aplenty to occupy a lifetime of thought and emotion. However, what truly makes a universe distinctly ours when so many others inhabit it, and so many immutable laws govern it, is that it is seen through our perceptions, and evaluated on a basis of perpetual personal appraisal. And thus, as an issue of perspective, are we each a warden of The Panoptikon.
