The Classic Exploration of Christian Community

After his martyrdom at the hands of the Gestapo in 1945, Dietrich Bonhoeffer continued his witness in the hearts of Christians around the world. His Letters and Papers from Prison became a prized testimony to Christian faith and courage, read by thousands. Now in Life Together we have Pastor Bonhoeffer's experience of Christian community. This story of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years reads like one of Paul's letters. It gives practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.

Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease

From the physician behind the wildly popular website NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die reveals the groundbreaking scientific evidence behind the only diet that can prevent and reverse many of the causes of disease-related death. The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-renowned nutrition expert, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of premature death in America — heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson's, high blood pressure, and more — and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives. The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The fifteen leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn't have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger's advice, all of it backed up by strong scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer. History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet whenever you can. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug-and without the side effects. Fighting off liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (the number 1 killer in the United States)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to prevent the disease but often stop it in its tracks. In addition to showing what to eat to help treat the top fifteen causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen — a checklist of the twelve foods we should consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor's orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

A Guide for the Curious

"Two centuries after his death, our fascination with the brief life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the greatest musical genius in history, has never been greater." "A man of immense contradictions, Mozart astonishes with the number and variety of his compositions: forty-one symphonies, twenty-seven piano concertos, twenty-five string quartets, seventeen operas, and more. Virtually every major piece he wrote in the last ten years of his life is still in the active repertoire; virtually every piece he created in the last five is a towering masterpiece. He is the most frequently performed composer in concert halls worldwide, and the recent bicentennial observances of his death as well as Hollywood's adaptations of his musical creations have made them familiar to millions." "What to Listen for in Mozart is the essential introduction to the world's most beloved composer and to the pleasures of classical music, written in a witty, exuberant, and engrossing style. Robert Harris leads readers on an exploration of Mozart's music and his extraordinary life, examining his achievements within the context of the aristocratic society in the late 1700s hovering on the brink of revolution." "Mr. Harris concentrates especially on seven of Mozart's greatest works and briefly analyzes another fifty of Mozart's compositions in a final chapter. He effortlessly guides readers to an appreciation of Mozart's distinctive style, identifying the clues to his genius, and noting the dazzling innovations that give Mozart's works their universal and enduring appeal."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
