Andrew Boyd Bücher

Es gibt einiges, worüber man sich aufregen kann. Wohin mit dem Ärger? Wählen ist out, Demonstrieren sowieso. Übrig bleibt 'Slacktivism', der bequeme Protest per Mausklick und Online-Petition. Doch politische und gesellschaftliche Teilhabe kann sich auch anders anfühlen: Lebendiger. Nachbarschaftlicher. Wirkungsvoller. Und wir reden dabei nicht vom Autos anzünden. Wie eine asiatische Kampftechnik wandelt Beautiful Trouble unsere Empörung um in Energie für 'schöne Schwierigkeiten' – für gewaltlose, aber wirksame Aktionen gegen das, was uns nicht passt. Die legendären Yes Men und andere Profis des kreativen Protests haben darin aufgeschrieben, wie sich kühle Strategie und fröhlicher Aktivismus effektvoll kombinieren lassen. Ein schlauer Werkzeugkasten, gefüllt mit Taktiken, Grundprinzipien und Inspiration.

Dieses Buch bietet hilfreiche Ratschläge für alle, die sich in Lebenskrisen befinden und nach Orientierung suchen. Es thematisiert das Gefühl der Einsamkeit und den Umgang mit inneren Konflikten und gibt praktische Tipps, um nach Rückschlägen wieder auf den richtigen Weg zu finden.

In the warzone that Nigeria has become, Archbishop Ben Kwashi has survived three assassination attempts. A brutal assault on his wife, Gloria, drove him to his knees - to forgive and find the strength to press on. Islamist militants have Nigeria in their sights. These are the terrorists who kidnapped hundreds of Christian schoolgirls - who have vowed to turn Africa's most populous nation into a hard-line Islamic state. Their plan is to drive the Christian minority from the north by kidnapping, bombing and attacking churches. Plateau State is on the frontline. But holding that line against Boko Haram, and standing firm for the Gospel, is Ben Kwashi, the Anglican Archbishop of Jos. In Jos, churches have been turned into fortresses and Archbishop Ben now conducts more funerals than weddings and baptisms put together. Yet his faith grows ever more vibrant. He has adopted scores of orphans who live in his home, including many who are HIV positive. And the challenge of his message - to live for the Gospel even in the face of terror - has never been so timely.

A dark, twisted, existential manifesto posing as a book of daily inspiration. Revolutionizing the best-selling genre, this thinking man's parody hijacks the format of daily affirmations but offers a different message: only in paradox, truth; only in darkness, light; only in affliction, affirmation. These "daily afflictions" offer readers inspiration, practical advice, and food for thought, as they navigate the jungle of existential terror that begins anew each day. We follow the fictional Brother Void on a spiritual journey, both profound and hilarious, into self, family, love, career, death―and, ultimately, Enlightenment. We learn to "listen to our inner critic," appreciate "the nurturing power of dysfunctional families," "love the wrong person," "succeed at failure," "embrace our inner corpse," and, finally, withstand the "agony of being connected to everything in the Universe." Part spiritual autobiography, part ironic meditation, this tragicomic guide to life's sublime predicaments will elevate and educate the spirit. The truth will set you free, Brother Void reminds us, but first it will hurt like hell.
