70e anniversaire de son intronisation, le Dalaï-lama livre son autobiographie spirituelle empreinte de réalisme sur les enjeux actuels. Un trait d'union entre le passé et le présent. Aussi naturellement qu'il relate ses souvenirs d'enfance, il narre les anecdotes de ses vies antérieures et évoque ses treize prédécesseurs, à un moment où il réfléchit à sa succession. Il revient également sur sa charge de chef spirituel et de porte-parole du Tibet, en commentant l'impact de ce rôle sur la scène internationale. À l'heure de la civilisation planétaire et de l'histoire globale, il appelle à une révolution éthique et spirituelle, engageant chacun à assumer sa part de responsabilité universelle afin de préserver l'avenir des générations futures. 2009.Autobiography of a Yogi

pampered life with his affluent parents in a tranquil Czechoslovakian town. The rise of fascism and Nazi Germany causes his protected existence to collapse, alongside the illusion of secular Jewish assimilation in 1930s Europe. Using their last reserves of wealth and influence to escape extermination, the Rosenbergs go underground to avoid the Gestapo. Eventually exposed, captured, and taken to Buchenwald, the largest concentration camp in Germany, Alexander and his father collaborate to survive one day at a time. A chaotic chain of events puts young Alexander at the heart of a massive armament sabotage scheme. When his father is gravely injured and disappears after an air bombing, it is up to industrious Alexander to create leverage and use wartime machinations and raw talent to save his father's life. This universal, true story of inner strength, resourcefulness and optimism was documented and written by Alexander's grandson, Oren Schneider. It is dedicated to brave people everywhere who choose not to give upLovers in auschwitz: A true story

Holocaust survivors who fell in love in Auschwitz, only to be separated upon liberation and lead remarkable lives apart following the war—and then find each other again more than 70 years later. Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia were captivated by each other from the moment they first exchanged glances across the work floor. It was the beginning of a love story that could have happened anywhere. Except for one difference: this romance was unfolding in history's most notorious death camp, between two young prisoners whose budding intimacy risked dooming them if they were caught. Incredibly, David and Zippi survived for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Under the protection of their fellow inmates, their romance grew and deepened, even as their brushes with death mounted and David's luck in particular seemed close to running out. As the war's end finally approached and the time came for them to leave the camp, David and Zippi made plans to meet again. But neither of them could imagine how long their reunion would take or how many lives they would live in the interim. They had no inkling, either, of the betrayals that would await them along the way. But David did suspect that Zippi harbored a secret—one that could explain the mystery of his survival all those years ago. An unbelievable tale of romance, sacrifice, loss, and resilience, Lovers in Auschwitz is a saga of two young people who found themselves trapped inside a waking nightmare of the Nazis' creation, yet who nevertheless discovered a love that sustained them through history's darkest hourNine lives and counting: A bounty hunter's journey to faith, hope, and redemption
Par Duane Chapman. 2024
In his riveting follow-up to two?New York Times?bestsellers, bounty hunter and reality television star Duane "Dog" Chapman reveals the story…
of how God redeemed his life and gave him renewed purpose—and along the way recounts the adventures and exploits that have made him a legend. After everything he had been through including escaping a Mexican prison, surviving the brutal world of bounty hunting with over 10,000 captures, and the ups and downs of being a TV star, Dog was unprepared for the despair he found himself in after his wife's death—and surprised by the miraculous events that would follow. "Everybody experiences loss," says Dog. "But the loss I felt after Beth's passing was especially hard because I was believing for a miracle. When the miracle didn't happen as I expected, I wrestled with the Lord. Little did I know He wasn't done with me yet." In one of his darkest moments, Dog found himself on a new journey of healing and redemption. Not only did he come to see God's hand in his life—from the prayers of a faithful mother when he was a child, to the way God guided his steps and protected him throughout his dangerous career—but he also found love and renewed purpose through a divine appointment. Now Dog has launched a ministry with his wife Francie, whom he married in 2021, and speaks and preaches all over the country with the purpose of introducing others to Jesus, using their miraculous story as proof that God is alive and working in the world.? Readers will be encouraged and inspired by Dog's stories of hope and healing even in the face of grief, loss, and brokenness; gain the behind-the-scenes insights into the real life of the world's most successful bounty hunter; and see the power of faith and prayer to change lives and reveal each person's unique, God-given purpose. For lifelong fans and those meeting Dog for the first time,?Nine Lives and Counting?is a powerful memoir that reveals a whole new side of a bounty hunter who is living proof that God loves each of his children, has a good purpose and plan for them, and will never stop tracking them down until they come homeThe Jesuit guide to (almost) everything: a spirituality for real life
Par James Martin. 2010
The Roman Catholic religious order - the Society of Jesus, a.k.a. "The Jesuits" - was founded in the 16th century…
by Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Famous for their practical spirituality and ardent commitment to education, the Jesuits have a reputation as smart people of faith who change lives for the better and make a difference in the world. The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything translates the 500-year-old insights of Saint Ignatius (often called "Ignatian spirituality") for a modern audience, using stories and examples from Martin's 20 years as a Jesuit and from the lives of the great Jesuit saints and spiritual masters.Only a wife!: Arnhem Land, 1945-1952

these words on the roadside sign of his Gosford parish church. He also posted them on Facebook. Within minutes a social media revolution was underway - the post was shared thousands of times - and this passionate advocate for social justice arrived on the public stage. Today he has close to 65,000 followers on social media, many of whom are agnostic. He uses his platform to raise questions about our ethical framework, and to highlight injustice. Calling Peter Dutton, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, a 'Sodomite' attracted anger from the community and also from within the Anglican Church, something Father Rod is used to. Conscience of our nation or disruptor? For a man of peace, Father Rod never backs away from a fight. He has even chained himself to the Prime Minister's gates to highlight the plight of asylum seekers on Manus Island. Then again, this adoptee and former butcher was never likely to be wholly conventional.Breaking the death habit: the science of everlasting life

for the world's most challenging issues.

More than a simple life story, this is a book about individual and community, public and private, spiritual and material, equality and liberty--and, most of all, about faith and its power to sustain in the face of the world's big issues.
