Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Main themes: love, woman as its object and its source, emigration as a cultural experience, the philosophy of spiritual ascent, compassion for the animals, for the world. (One of main characters of the novel is Stacey, the cat adapted by heroine who then perished, but she came in critical time to save it.) Genesis and memorable events of the second half of the twentieth century, beginning of the twenty-first.Brief annotation: to an extent, Five Steps to Resurrection can be considered an alternative to Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marques, in which a man and a woman, destined for each other, finally unite in advanced age. The narration, done in the voice of the female protagonist, maintains an ironic and skeptical distance, offering a bitter smile at times. In contrast to Marques, the author of Five Steps focuses not on physiological details but rather on visual descriptions (whether aesthetical or anti-aesthetical) as well as on subconscious processes. This novel, as the author's earlier novel White Horse, is written in a wreath form: each chapter begins with the last line of the preceding chapter, and the conclusion goes back to the foreword. The author's interest in the philosophical teaching Everest, and the work of its spiritual leader, D. Arundel, is apparent.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We are in danger of losing our identities as unique beings created in the image of God. Our culture, not wanting to answer to a higher authority, tries to expel God from the planet but in the process strips off the very image that makes us human. If we officiate at the death of God, we will also be forced to preside over the funeral of man. The good news is that despite the loud voices declaring that we are just evolved animals, the vast majority of us behave as if we are special. Since the characteristics that make humans unique are found nowhere else on the planet, we are compelled to look to the heavens. We have a choice; we can find significance running with the pack or in becoming children of God. We can howl at the moon or offer prayers to our Father, but either way we will end up worshiping our maker. Dr. Strandness explores what it means to be created in the image of God by examining those qualities that are universally recognized as unique to humankind. He makes the case that these characteristics have a heavenly origin and can only be adequately explained by a Biblical understanding of humans as Gods image-bearers.…
