James Smith Knihy

Tentokrát Barryho čeká detektivní pátrání po vzoru detektiva Manksniffa! Barry je neprávem obviněn z toho, že vypil kamarádovi limonádu, a bude muset využít všechen svůj důvtip, aby očistil svou pověst. A jako by nestačilo, že se proti němu spikli všichni spolužáci, moc to neklape ani doma, kde Barryho rodiče věnují všechnu svou pozornost jeho mladšímu bráškovi, Desmondovi Trappneymu druhému, uřvanému miminu. Ale to by nebyl Barry, aby si s tím vším neporadil!

Znáte to, když se vzbudíte a jste fakt naštvaní na kamaráda, že se k vám hnusně zachoval? Tak to se stalo Barrymu s jeho nejlepším kamarádem Bumbou. A tak má Barry starosti nejen s Darenem Darenofskim, který ho nenechá ani chvilku z dohledu, ale také s Bumbou,který se proti němu spolčuje s jeho úhlavním nepřítelem. Barry je sám a naprosto bez nálady. Vždyť s Antonem se kamarádit nemůže..

Konečně prázdniny! Barry je ale tentokrát musí strávit na Pirátským táboře, kterej, jak každej ví, je jenom pro mrňousky! To je tak nehuztý! Když se ale ukáže, že nová majitelka tábora ho chce prodat Donaldu Coxovi, který na něm chce postavit luxusní sruby, Barry se rozhodne tábor zachránit. A možná mu v tom pomůže i obří šavlozubá stínka... Jedno je ale jisté: bude to hustý!

Nejlepší kamarád Bumba zlobí. Nechce hrát hry, které ho dřív bavili, a radši si čte knihy s brýlatou Nancy. Barry (nebo Smolíček, jak mu říká maminka) si připadá odstrčený. A to je pozval na víkend do jejich karavanu, co mají zaparkovaný přímo na pláži u moře. Barrymu se nelíbí, že se Bumba i Nancy spolčují, a tak když se u jejich karavanu zničehonic objeví Sharonella, z hodného Smolíčka se stane Sharonellin parťák na pěkné darebačiny. Jen zkuste hádat, co je to smrdiplesk! Pro všechny, kteří mají rádi malého Poseroutku. Malí čtenáři se nebudou moci odtrhnout a budou se smát nahlas (a znechuceně ošklíbat!)

Tarantinova tvorba je typická tím, že je plná odkazů k filmům, knihám, divadelním hrám a hudebním nahrávkám, ke kterým má Tarantino osobní vztah. Je rovněž plná narážek a vtipů souvisejících s populární kulturou. Jim Smith napsal zasvěceného průvodce Tarantinovými filmy, ať už je Tarantino režíroval sám, nebo podle jeho scenáře natočili jiní režiséři. Přináší obrovské množství informací a podrobností.

Barry Trappney je zoufalý. Nejen kvůli jménu. Jeho máma se stala celebritou a v supermarketu je vystavená její lepenková figurína, jak v ruce drží balíček párků. „Moje máma je už tak dost trapná jen tím, že je moje máma, ale teď, když vyhrála tu pitomou soutěž supermarketu Feeko, je to ještě horší!“ Ve škole je to k nevydržení, kamarádi, dokonce i Bumba, se mu za to mu pošklebují. Ale Barry to zvládne, hlavně s vydatnou pomocí brýlaté Nancy a mazlíčka Šnekouše.

Barry Trappney byl ve škole vždycky cool, „hustej borec“, ale jen do té doby, co přišel Darren Darrenofski. Barry má nos jako okurku a rozhodně mezi manekýny nepatří. I když Darren se mu nemá co pošklebovat, zase vypadá jako krokodýl, ale stejně se nálepka břídilství na Barryho přilepí. A Barry dělá všechno pro to, aby si o něm nemysleli, že je trapák a sralbotka nebo poseroutka. Zkrátka šokuje. Jednou přijde do školy s pleteným futrálem na nose, jindy na chůdách, což pan Poťachta ani trochu neocení…

Celá škola ví, že jsem ten nejtraphuztější člověk na světě. Tak si asi umíte představit, jak mě naštvalo, když se jednou ráno objevila ve škole Fay Snogglesová a byla ještě traphuztější než já. 4. pokračování, v němž se znovu představí Barry Trappney a jeho nejhuztější kamarád Bumba a otrava Darren.

Many of us hold beliefs about God that shape our lives, such as "God wants me to try harder" or "God punishes me when I'm bad." While some of these thoughts may be true, many are not.

How (Not) to Be Secular is what Jamie Smith calls "your hitchhiker's guide to the present" -- it is both a reading guide to Charles Taylor's monumental work A Secular Age and philosophical guidance on how we might learn to live in our times. Taylor's landmark book A Secular Age (2007) provides a monumental, incisive analysis of what it means to live in the post-Christian present -- a pluralist world of competing beliefs and growing unbelief. Jamie Smith's book is a compact field guide to Taylor's insightful study of the secular, making that very significant but daunting work accessible to a wide array of readers. Even more, though, Smith's How (Not) to Be Secular is a practical philosophical guidebook, a kind of how-to manual on how to live in our secular age. It ultimately offers us an adventure in self-understanding and maps out a way to get our bearings in today's secular culture, no matter who "we" are -- whether believers or skeptics, devout or doubting, self-assured or puzzled and confused. This is a book for any thinking person to chew on.

Tief erschüttert und voller Trauer gerät sein Glaube an einen liebenden Gott ins Wanken. Ausgebrannt zieht sich Tim in ein Kloster zurück. Dort wird ihm ein „geistlicher Begleiter“ zur Seite gestellt: der unkonventionelle Bruder Taylor. Eines Nachts hat Tim einen außergewöhnlichen Traum. Er begegnet im Himmel den Menschen, die seinen Glauben und sein Leben geprägt haben – und den dreien, die ihm so sehr fehlen. Eine heilsame Reise beginnt ... Ein bewegender Roman, der in Stil und Botschaft ähnlich ermutigend wie der Weltbestseller „Die Hütte“ von William P. Young ist. Mit einem Nachwort von Dallas Willard.

Beim Christsein geht es nicht in erster Linie darum, wie wir in den Himmel kommen, sondern darum, wie wir den Himmel in unseren Alltag holen können. Die Frage ist nicht: Was muss ich aufgeben, um Jesus zu folgen? Die Frage ist: Was verpasse ich, wenn ich ihm nicht folge? Die Antwort: das echte und sinnerfüllte Leben. Smith ersetzt weit verbreitete Unwahrheiten, die unser Leben bestimmen, durch kraftvolle Verheißungen Jesu aus der Bergpredigt. Mit praktischen Übungen und Denkanstößen werden diese Verheißungen auf unser Leben und unsere Zeit übertragen. Begeben Sie sich auf eine Reise zum wahren Glauben. Lassen Sie die Versprechen Jesu Ihr Leben verändern. Und erleben Sie das Leben in Fülle, das Gott Ihnen verheißen hat.

Kniha, ktorú máte v rukách, je prvou v sérii Kristov učeň, a spolu s ďalšími dvoma tvorí pomôcku k duchovnému rozvoju a podobnosti Kristovi. Cieľom tejto prvej knihy je pomôcť ľuďom objaviť Boha, ktorého nám zjavil Ježiš. Každá kapitola tiež obsahuje cvičenie pre dušu. Cvičenia nám pomôžu vštepiť pravdivé naratívum, ten meta-príbeh, ktorý o Bohu priniesol Ježiš, hlbšie do našej mysle, tela i duše. Poslaním týchto cvičení nie je urobiť vás nábožnejšími alebo urobiť dojem na Boha. Sú nato, aby vám pomohli vidieť a chápať svet tak, ako ho videl a chápal Ježiš. Na konci každej kapitoly sú otázky, ktoré sa dajú použiť pre individuálne zamyslenie alebo skupinovú interakciu a diskusiu. Zamilujte sa do úžasného Boha, ktorého pozná Ježiš.
