Few contemporary writers ask the questions about faith, morality, and God that Christian Wiman does, and even fewer—perhaps none—do so with his urgency and eloquence. Wiman, an award-winning poet and the author of My Bright Abyss, lays the motion of his mind on the page in this genre-defying work, an indivisible blend of poetry, criticism, theology, and searing memoir. As Marilynne Robinson wrote, "[Wiman's] poetry and his scholarship have a purifying urgency that is rare in this world . . . [It] enables him to say new things in timeless language, so that the reader's surprise and assent are one and the same." Zero at the Bone begins with Wiman's preoccupation with despair, and through fifty brief pieces, he unravels its seductive appeal. The book is studded with the poetry and prose of writers who inhabit Wiman's thoughts, and the voices of Wallace Stevens, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and others join his own. At its heart and Wiman's, however, are his family—his young children (who ask their own invaluable questions, like "Why are you a poet? I mean why?"), his wife, and those he grew up with in West Texas. Wiman is the rare thinker who takes on the mantle of our greatest mystics and does so with an honest, profound, and contemporary sensibility. Zero at the Bone is a revelation.Ver libro

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if your disability was not seen as a condition… but as a consequence? In this searing and sacred testimony, Jorge Madera — a disabled, bilingual author writing from his wheelchair — confronts the silent judgment that surrounds disability in religious, social, and family systems. Told in bold, poetic, and uncompromising chapters, Crippled by Karma — or by People? is not a theology book. It is lived pain. It is a scar turned into scripture. It is a fire that refused to go out, even after silence tried to extinguish it. From nuns who judged instead of healing, to prophets who mistook pain for punishment, to families who spiritualized their abandonment — this audiobook dares to say what most are afraid to admit: Disability is not karma. It is not divine accounting. And those who preach otherwise are not speaking for God. Whether you have been judged, discarded, or called a warning, this book is for you. Written from the wheelchair. Still burning in truth. Still not asking for permission. Narrated in the voice of Adam, through artificial intelligence, to ensure accessibility and faithful delivery.Ver libro
