Lei e una bella donna con una vita molto complicata, lui un famoso e affascinante attore di drama coreani: che sincontrino e possano innamorarsi pare impossibile, troppe le differenze, anche senza considerare la distanza che li separa, eppure e proprio cio che accade. Da un commento di incoraggiamento su un social network, i due iniziano un fitto scambio di messaggi, fatto di confidenze e provocazioni, e ben presto, quella che sembrava solo unamicizia leggera si trasforma in una relazione. Il rapporto, pero, e tormentato: lei e dolce, seria e responsabile, sempre pronta a tendergli una mano; lui, dallumore altalenante, e spesso assente ed estremamente focalizzato su di se e sulla propria carriera. Si avvicinano e si allontanano, tendendo il loro legame allestremo, perdendosi e ritrovandosi continuamente, in un gioco di coincidenze che non sembra frutto del solo caso.Tiziana Cinque, nata a Rocca Imperiale, piccolo borgo calabrese, da molti anni vive a Soliera in provincia di Modena. Dopo aver conseguito la maturita scientifica e aver frequentato la facolta di scienze biologiche, decide di ridare spazio alla sua passione per la scrittura con la sua prima opera, Uno scherzo del destino.

Heaven: Why It Matters Here and Now Have we forgotten heaven? Bestselling author and pastor Brian Zahnd invites us to remember heaven, to experience and embrace the divine mystery of the spiritual realm in this lifetime. This slow and steady progression of a deeper Christian faith that draws us nearer to Goda "pilgrimage of the soul"fosters in us a love for both the heavenly and the earthly.For too long, the conversation about heaven has been caught between two extremes. On one hand, there is the shallow "escapist" theology that reduces salvation to a reservation for the afterlife, unconcerned with Gods good earth or issues of justice in the world.On the other hand, many of us have overcorrected, hyperfocusing on the here and now and losing sight of the spiritual reality beyonda fatal mistake if our Christianity is to have a compelling message in the twenty-first century. Our faith must once again speak confidently and humbly about the reality of the spiritual worldthe reality of unseen existences.In Unseen Existences, youll find a fresh way of looking at heaven that pushes back against extremes, a vision for life as a pilgrimage to our true home in heaven and union with God, and encouragement to persevere through the injustices of this world with hope. Unseen Existences will help you renew your faith, expand your perspective, and re-embrace the divine mystery of heaven. Though life can be uncertain and unjust, our pilgrimage is preparing us for the world to come, where we will see Christ face-to-face. With the company of our Helper, Advocate, and Comforter, we press on, trusting he will lead us home.

Palestina es un microcosmos del mundo: miserable, furiosa, tensa y fragmentada. En llamas. Obstinada. Digna. Mientras el estado colonial de Israel continúa infligiendo una violencia devastadora, las verdades esenciales se ocultan de forma deliberada: se mima a los perpetradores, mientras que a las victimas se las culpa y se las lleva a juicio. El mundo sigue siendo testigo a traves de las pantallas; miembros rotos, hogares y futuros destrozados impregnan los sueños. ¿Por que deben los palestinos demostrar su humanidad? ¿Cuales son las implicaciones de una tarea tan exasperante como imposible?Con una prosa intrepida y precision lirica, el-Kurd rechaza que su vida se consuma entre interrogatorios. Disecciona la humanizacion de los marginados como una tactica profundamente erronea, revelando la logica desconcertante que la sustenta: el deseo de convertir a los seres humanos en seres humanos.En lugar de pedir a los oprimidos que se comporten como victimas perfectas, el autor de este libro pide a amigos y enemigos que miren a los palestinos a los ojos, renunciando tanto a la deferencia como a la condena.La solidaridad con Palestina requiere reconocerla como causa universal. Sin embargo, la lente con que miramos a los palestinos revela como nos vemos unos a otros; como vemos todo lo demas.

1298: Alexander of Wells watches William Wallaces army across the field at Falkirk. Hours later, he is dead, cut down by the Scots.1381: Hated collector of the Poll Tax, Robert Hales, is dragged from the Tower of London and executed, his head paraded through the streets before being placed on a spike on London Bridge.1490s: John Kendal sends coded letters to Perkin Warbecks supporters and hires an astrologer to murder Henry VII.These men were not scheming lords: they were Knights Hospitaller. Commonly known as warrior monks, they were a religious and military order that fought to defend the Holy Land, supposedly above war and petty politics. But in Europe they became entangled in local government, taking up positions as royal commanders, administrators and politicians. They led armies, attended Parliaments, and joined court intrigues and civil wars.While the Knights Templar have long captured the public imagination, the Hospitallers were just as influential, yet their story has been left largely untold until now. From the English invasion of Ireland through to Henry VIIIs Dissolution of the Monasteries and beyond, the Hospitallers story in Britain and Ireland sees the brethren drawn into civil wars, violent feuds, duels, assassinations and witchcraft.Employing the latest research, Warrior Monks reveals the fascinating account of medieval Britain through the eyes of the Knights Hospitaller: a powerful order that made kings, toppled regimes and shaped history.

Examines the barbarians from Europe and beyond who harassed, eroded and eventually caused the disintegration of the Roman Empire. It includes the Huns, Mongolian horsemen who swept into Europe to form a short-lived empire from the Urals to the Rhine; the Visigoths, or western Goths, who sacked Rome in 410 and ruled Spain from Toledo until the Moorish conquest in 711; the Ostrogoths, or eastern Goths, who ruled Italy from 493 until the Emperor Justinian drove them out in 534; the Franks, a group of Germanic tribes who came to rule France under the Merovingians; and the Vandals, fierce Arian Christians who invaded Gaul and Spain around 400 and sacked Rome in 455. As the authors show, some, such as the Vandals in North Africa, had shortlived periods of supremacy and relatively insignificant effect on the areas they settled; others, such as the Franks, adapted to Roman ways to create the strong foundations of medieval and later nations. Throughout the text, the authors reconstruct the volatile world of pitched battle and invasion.

When it comes to developing a deep, trusting relationship with God, efficiency and productivity are not the answer. Its far better to "waste" time with him, to just enjoy being with him. After all, thats how any friendship grows.But making room for God in the midst of our fast-paced lives is not an easy task. Just as time with our best friends can get squeezed out by the rush of activities, so can time with God. Even "wasting time" with God means making a commitment and setting priorities--whether its something we enjoy or not.Beginning with the supposition that God desires friendship with us, Klaus Issler encourages us to consider seven character traits and to develop their companion disciplines: friendship, humility, faith, commitment, communication, apprenticeship and partnership. Here is a full-orbed model of Christian spirituality that will be of lasting value.
