Beschreibung

In "Short Studies on Great Subjects," James Anthony Froude presents a series of essays that delve into a variety of significant themes, including history, philosophy, and morality. Richly infused with Froude's characteristic prose, the work demonstrates a mastery of rhetorical devices and a knack for narrative elegance. Each essay reflects his deep engagement with the intellectual currents of the Victorian era, engaging with the tensions between empirical observation and moral reflection. Through critical analyses of figures such as Martin Luther and William Shakespeare, Froude anchors his discussions in a historical context while simultaneously inviting modern readers to reflect on the underlying human conditions that transcend time. James Anthony Froude (1818-1894) was not only a prominent historian but also a social critic and biographer whose breadth of knowledge informs his writings. Educated at Oxford, his experiences as a journalist and editor shaped his worldview, leading him to explore topics that resonate deeply with societal concerns. Froude's keen insights into human nature and his critical engagement with contemporary thought reveal a man deeply invested in the moral and intellectual advancement of society. "Short Studies on Great Subjects" is a compelling invitation for readers who seek to engage with the complexities of human thought and history. Froude's penetrating analysis encourages reflection on fundamental issues that, while rooted in the past, continue to shape our present and future. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, morality, and historical analysis.

    NOW A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!Read by the author.When was the last time you awakened to a swirl of anxious, out-of-control thoughts?Perhaps you were overwhelmed with the weight of worry, the fear of failing, or the grip of guilt. The way we think directly impacts our joy and peace. In Tame Your Thoughts, Max Lucado provides three biblical and practical tools to renew your mind and transform your life. 
    Our thoughts have consequences. Most people would agree that positive thoughts generate positive actions. Negative thoughts activate negative behavior. But do we understand that we can manage our lives by managing our thoughts? Not only does neuroscience back this concept, but the idea is also embedded throughout Scripture. "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Rom.12:2 esv). Tame your thoughts and transform your life! 
    In Tame Your Thoughts, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado explores three key thought management tools and then applies them to the most common thought problems: anxiety, guilt, rejection, and others. God loves us too much to let us lead a life marked by poor thinking. He made our brains; he can retrain our brains. God has not left us alone in this battle of the mind.Stuck in your head? Hounded by regrets? Weighed down by worry? Change is possible! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. You will learn to:Take thoughts captiveTest each message against the truth of ScriptureInterrupt poisonous thought threadsThink and act like Jesus If God can resurrect the dead, can he not resurrect hope? Defy depression? Clarify confusion? Silence shame? Destroy doubt? Banish bitterness?Take God at his word. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7 nkjv, emphasis added). With God as their helper, you will discover a new way of thinking and a better way of living. A new person will begin to emerge.We can tame each thought, friends. 
    Figures, reflection questions, and a scripture database can be found in the audiobook companion PDF download.

    Ash + Salt - From Survival to...

    Sarah Grace is a sexual assault survivor. On 17 July 2019, she fell asleep like any other night. A burglar broke into her apartment and attacked her as she slept. What followed was a fight for her life. That violent assault blew apart her world, reducing everything in it to ashes.
    From that battle, Sarah has waged many more. She had to fight her way through post-traumatic stress, the social stigma around sexual assault and an archaic court system in her bid to ensure her attacker couldn't do the same to another woman. Some adversities were predictable – nightmares, panic attacks and the devastating loss of self. Others were surprising – toxic social reactions, friends withdrawing and a nightmarish trial that unearthed how heavily the criminal justice system is loaded against victims.
    Ash + Salt is a raw and powerful account of healing and thriving after sexual assault. Armed with courage and brazen candour, Sarah takes you through her own story to reveal the experience of a survivor. She offers the tools to survive the assault, its aftermath and the trial, and charts the path back to recovery. Because while ash marks the place of devastation, it is also the fertile soil from which new life can grow.
    This is a book for everyone – not just survivors, but their families, friends and colleagues too. Sexual assault affects us all, regardless of background or gender. It is one woman's personal testimony, but it is also a call to arms. The time to speak up is now.
