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.

Despite their differences in age and temperament, the two form a deep friendship, but when Goldmund rejects the monastic life and runs away to seek experience of the wider world, their bond is tested, in this plangent, limpid masterpiece, rich with the rhythms of medieval life.Goldmund pursues a sensual, picaresque existence, and Narcissus remains cloistered and controlled, but events and inclination bring them together again and again.

I didnt see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life. Steve JobsBegin Again tells the largely unexplored story of the dozen years Steve Jobs spent building NeXt in the aftermath of his firing from Apple, the company he founded, in 1985. This period would see Jobs at his most creative, vulnerable and intense. It would redefine him as a designer and a leader, ultimately leading to the later resurgence and dominance of Apple following his triumphant return. Yet this crucial period remains woefully under-covered. Award-winning writers Geoffrey Cain and Jimmy Soni change that.Utilising a trove of new material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXTs meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Begin Again is the definitive history of the most remarkable period in the life of Steve Jobs.
