Siddhartha

Hermann Hesse, Classics HQ

Beschreibung

Siddhartha is an allegorical novel by Hermann Hesse which deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian boy called Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha. The book was written in German, in a simple, yet powerful and lyrical style. It was first published in 1922, after Hesse had spent some time in India in the 1910s.

The story revolves around a young man who leaves his home and family on a quest for the Truth. Embarking on a journey that takes him from the austerities of renunciation to the profligacy of wealth. That leads him through the range of human experiences from hunger and want, to passion, pleasure, pain, greed, yearning, boredom, love, despair and hope. A journey that leads finally to the river, where he gains peace and eventually wisdom. This is the story of Siddhartha as told by Nobel Laureate Hermann Hesse in his most influential work.

Hermann Hesse:

Hermann Hesse (b. 1877) was a German-born Swiss poet and author, best known for writing the novels 'Steppenwolf', 'Siddhartha', and 'The Glass Bead Game'. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. His themes focus on man's struggle to break away from the rigid structures of civilization and follow his essential and inner spirit. For this, Hesse became a literary cult figure.

What Happened to Catholicism -...

Anonym

It is clear that since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has been plagued with terrible doctrinal and liturgical confusion that has contributed to the worst crisis in the Church since the Arian crisis, and perhaps the worst in history. This incisive book examines the often-overlooked wisdom of Pope St. Pius X on modernism, the synthesis of all heresies, found in his landmark encyclical Pascendi Dominici Gregis. 
Although Pascendi is a momentous document that lays out virtually all the doctrinal errors we now find, it seems as if St. Pius X’s words have been ignored. Kennedy Hall translates the most salient points of this authoritative work into a readable format so that you can identify the grave problems facing us, problems that were illuminated more than one hundred years ago. 
In this thought-provoking audiobook, you will find:Three ways to identify a heretic, according to moral theologiansThe Four Horsemen of the “Philosophical Apocalypse”How modernism is like a serial killer, insidiously destroying minds and heartsWhat the Church really teaches regarding scriptural interpretation and personal beliefsHow catechesis is harmed by contemporary thoughtWhy liturgy must center on God, not on man 
Most Catholics with orthodox faith can sense the prevailing errors but perhaps cannot put into words what they know to be true by sound Catholic intuition. This book will help clarify important concerns, from the relationship between faith and science to the dangers of relativism and subjectivism, so that you can form yourself and your family to withstand this current crisis.

The Sabbath as Rest and Hope for...

Guy Prentiss Waters

A Short Study of the Sabbath from Creation to Consummation
When it comes to the Sabbath, Christians have different ideas on what it means and how to observe it. For many people, it is a day to go to church and have fellowship with other believers. What they often miss, though, is that the Sabbath is intricately tied to rest and worship—both of which ultimately point to the Lord as our creator and redeemer.
In this addition to the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, Guy Prentiss Waters offers an introductory study of the Sabbath from the creation of the world to the consummation of all things when Jesus returns. He shows how the Sabbath is observed through the major themes and genres of the Bible—creation, law, prophets, Jesus, and the apostles—and how that applies to our lives today. Waters teaches us about the Sabbath's full restoration in the new heavens and the new earth and its continual reminder of the covenant that God has made with his people. 

- Written for New Believers and Seasoned Saints Alike: Perfect for laypersons, pastors, college and seminary students, and academics 
- Practical: Examines how the Sabbath is relevant to the church now as well as how it will be restored in the new heavens and the new earth 
- Short Studies in Biblical Theology: Part of a series designed to give readers accessible volumes on God's word

Who Is He that Overcometh the World

Dag Heward-Mills

Why must we overcome the world? Why would I need to overcome the earth? Is the world not just this earth that God created?  
These are the questions we may genuinely have after reading the verse in 1 John 5:5 which asks, “Who is he that has overcome the world?” Although we may not understand it, this scripture is very clear that the world is something to be overcome.  
If the world were simply this earth, there would not be much more to overcome, than to ensure that we do not drown in the river or the ocean, or to ensure that we do not fall off a tall tree. The “world” is more than a place in which we live.  
Celebrated author, prophet and teacher, Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, in this masterpiece, shows us the evil that actually make up the world, and how it creates a strong pressure against every believer. It is this strong pressure that believers must overcome.
