As palavras moldam o mundo. Formam vínculos, desvendam mistérios e, quando bem cuidadas, tornam-se lugar de encontro com o Deus que criou o mundo por meio das palavras.Em A verdade oblíqua, o inesquecivel pastor e escritor Eugene H. Peterson denuncia o empobrecimento da linguagem religiosa quando ela se torna tecnica, impessoal ou desconectada do cotidiano. Em contrapartida, ele nos conduz a maneira pela qual Jesus usava as palavras: de maneira indireta, por vezes sinuosa, exigindo dos ouvintes uma imaginaço participativa em meio a conversas vivas e transformadoras.Dividido entre as parabolas e as oraçes de Jesus, este livro revela como a linguagem participa da formaço espiritual, da vida comunitaria e da misso crist. Uma obra essencial para quem deseja recuperar a integridade da fe em um mundo saturado de discursos, mas carente de verdade vivida.

Pelos olhos do jovem Afonso, A viagem proibida recria a atmosfera da Vila Rica, no coraço das Minas Gerais, em um de seus periodos de maior efervescencia.

We Misread the Bible When Women Are Left Out Ignore them, marginalize them, or dismiss them as brief cameosthese have long been common approaches to Christian teaching on the women of the Bible. The result? We miss their significance in the biblical story and, in turn, misunderstand Scripture itself. Scholar Sandra Glahn challenges this pattern, calling readers to recognize how biblical narrative actually works. When we do, we see that women are not incidental to the story but essential to it.In A Womans Place Is in the Story, Glahn models how we can better read stories in their literary context and understand why the original authors included what they did. She reexamines both well-known and neglected passages, such as Tamar and Judah, the Hebrew midwives, Abigail, and the Samaritan woman at the well. Even when they appear briefly, women in Scripture move the plot forward and reveal profound truths about who God is.In this book, youll explore how leaving women out of the biblical story changes the plot and meaning that was intended, how distorting women as they appear in the biblical story affects the way we view women in general, and how misunderstanding how women appear in the story affects the way we view God. Women have always been part of the whole story of God. With A Womans Place Is in the Story, discover how rightly seeing women in the biblical narrative leads to more faithful interpretation and application for the benefit of all Gods people.Its time to tell the whole story.

A Working Mother is a wildly entertaining cautionary tale: while Bettys husband, Adam, broods and drinks (to be matched at times by Betty, just to be sociable) she flirts with their best friend Brendan and tries to avoid the roving hands of her new employer. Theyre all driving Betty crazy. A sharp, darkly humorous novella that explores the life of a working-class woman caught in a destructive relationship and an unforgiving society. Agnes Owens sharp wit, humour and lean prose is beautifully displayed in this tragi-comedy. Published to celebrate Agnes Owens centenary year in 2026.

"And I struggle to find my place in this dark novel. I yearn for passion and despair for that is what makes good literature while Ishwari seeks a life of joy for herself and her son."A powerful novel from the author of Panty about a woman who runs away from home, seeking to free herself from the shackles of society and familial attachments, and instead devote her attentions to writing a novel. When she realises that her five year old son Roo has followed her, Ishwari struggles with her identity as a mother and the responsibilities that brings, versus the guilty knowledge that she cannot want her own child when his existence requires her to suppress her own dreams.Ishwari and Roo wander the streets at night, looking for a place to stay, until an elderly caretaker takes pity on them and offers them an empty room on the terrace of a guest house. Ishwari gets work as a caregiver to the handsome gentleman who lives next door, while Roo, who is lame, spends all day locked up in the room on the roof. Pulsating with raw energy, Abandon gives voice to the perpetual conflict between life and art.

This publication is being released to coincide with the retrospective of the British-Japanese artist Simon Fujiwara at Mudam Luxembourg. It brings together a range of authors who explore Fujiwaras central themes and methods from diverse perspectives. The essays examine the structures underlying his works through the lens of topics such as psychoanalysis, iconography, branding, and marketing. In doing so, they also reflect on the conditions of artistic life and work in an increasingly mediatized world. Fujiwaras work, often described as a "distorted mirror of the 21st century," is both fascinating and unsettling. The publication invites readers to explore a complex, contradictory, and constantly evolving body of work.Simon Fujiwara (b. 1982, London) has developed a wide-ranging body of work that encompasses performance, video, painting, and immersive installations. His work explores constructions of the self in the 21st century, particularly in relation to technology and capitalism. In 2010, he received the Baloise Prize at Art Basel as well as the Frieze Cartier Award.
