Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Book of Job is preserved faithfully but entirely secularized and grounded in contemporary American life: - Joseph Mara (Job) is a 53-year-old orthopedic surgeon in New Jersey, a blameless man who has built everything through integrity and hard work.- The first disaster is a federal fraud investigation into his medical practice's billing, he is innocent, but it dismantles his professional life and reputation.- The second disaster is his wife Gloria's breast cancer diagnosis, arriving in the depths of the first crisis.- The comforters (Job's three friends + Elihu) appear as: a well-meaning but systematizing best friend who implies Joseph bears some culpability; a church friend who insists the suffering is 'a season of refinement'; a business partner who asks him to step aside; and an old mentor who, unlike the others, simply sits with him without explaining anything.- There are no divine scenes - no God in a whirlwind, no adversary. What replaces the theological machinery is the interior life of a man working through suffering with the tools of stoicism, scripture, love, and hard-won clarity.- The restoration is not a magical reversal but an organic rebuilding, his name is cleared, Gloria goes into remission, and he emerges with something the original Job arguably also found not the return of what was lost, but a fuller version of himself and, unexpectedly, a pro bono clinic he never would have built otherwise.The central theme - the impermanence of all conditions, runs through every chapter: nothing stays, not the suffering and not the ease. That principle is not offered as consolation but as the deepest truth available to a man who cannot control outcomes but can remain, stubbornly and fully, himself.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the autumn of 1968, on the rain-slicked steps of Sproul Hall, Joshua Renner and Miriam Aldous find each other in the middle of a generation trying to remake the world. What neither of them expects is that their own love will become the deepest remaking of all.Across more than fifty years, spanning a war that nearly takes Joshua from her, a Tibetan lama's mountainside retreat, a shared awakening neither of them saw coming, and a farmhouse kitchen table that quietly opens its door to a wildfire, a pandemic, and anyone who simply needs a place to sit, Joshua and Miriam build a marriage that becomes something larger than either of them: a life spent giving away, again and again, the very thing that changed them.Grounded in real history and drawing on Gnostic and Buddhist wisdom traditions, Syzygy is a sweeping, tender novel about what it actually looks like when two ordinary people take enlightenment seriously, not as a single transcendent moment but as five decades of showing up, staying present, and loving anyone who walks through the door.Give. Live. Love. Three words, one marriage, and a lifetime spent finding out how far they can reach.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Thirteen Reckonings of Sophie Marchetti is a novel about theft dressed up as generosity, about the particular danger of being told you are extraordinary by someone who needs you to believe it, and about the slow, unglamorous work of counting your way back to the surface one true sentence at a time. Its shape owes a quiet debt to the Pistis Sophia, the old Gnostic account of a fallen aeon who repents her way home through a series of numbered reckonings of her own. Sophie's version has no gods in it, only a bar, a notebook, and the people who never once needed her to be extraordinary to love her.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'i carry your heart with me(i carry it in' was written by E.E. Cummings and published in 1952. This novel imagines a fictional world in which the poem exists three decades earlier, in a spirit of literary license - and in the belief that some truths arrive before their formal declaration, living in us unnamed until the right words come along to tell us what we already knew.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - History remembers him. It erased her. This novel puts them back together.Yeshua and Miriam of Magdala were never simply teacher and disciple - they were husband and wife, partners in a ministry the world wasn't ready to accept. When the crucifixion doesn't end his life the way his enemies intend, it still ends the life they built. Pregnant and marked, Miriam flees by sea to the far shore of Gaul, where she raises their daughter Sarah in hiding and becomes the teacher history chose to forget. Yeshua, healed but changed, travels east - through Kashmir's debate halls and monasteries - carrying his grief and his mother toward a grave under a foreign name.Drawing on the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Philip, and the long tradition placing Yeshua's later life in India and Kashmir, this is the story of two people who never stopped being married even after they could never be together again - and what Miriam's own teaching might have been, if the world had ever thought to write it down.An epilogue set in the present day closes a circle these two never got to close themselves.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A restless young newspaperman sent to write five hundred words about the ragged, contrary old man living under a trestle bridge instead spends two years being quietly, patiently dismantled by him, and is handed, before the old man dies, six plain rules for living that took an entire hard lifetime to earn.Jeffery Beach is a novelist whose work moves between literary fiction and spiritual allegory, often transposing old wisdom traditions into distinctly American settings and characters. His previous novels include The Elysian Fields, a Vonnegut-style ensemble set in a senior apartment complex, and The Long Truce, a science fiction novel drawing on the Peloponnesian Wars. His memoir, Opening Your Wisdom Heart, chronicles his own long path toward the kind of plain-spoken, hard-won clarity Elias Vann embodies in The Six Nails. He continues to write, edit, and self-publish from wherever the current work happens to need him most.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Opening Your Wisdom Heart is a spiritual memoir by Jeffery Beach that braids five decades of personal practice, spanning Daoist qigong, Tibetan Buddhism, Ch'an, and Western mysticism, into a single sustained argument: that the world's contemplative traditions are not competing paths but nine dialects of one discovery. The narrative opens with the author's chance introduction to a qigong master in 1980s San Francisco Chinatown and follows him through formal Buddhist Refuge under a senior Drikung Kagyü lama, into Ch'an and Pyrrhonist thought, and finally into conversation with Christian and Sufi mystics, arriving, in a late chapter titled 'Nine Names for One Thing,' at the book's organizing thesis.…
