Anxious Hearts评论

Prolific screenwriter and genre novelist Richard Matheson has long maintained an interest in all matters relating to parapsychology, telepathy, ESP and other paranormal activity. His brief and elegantly printed new volume amounts to a lightly fictionalized history as well as quick, evocative episodes of paranormal activity from Greek antiquity all the way through renowned American psychic Edgar Cayce.Most of the episodes in this book depict the famous seers, mediums and performers of the nineteenth-century, whose feats Matheson clearly admires. Margaret and Kate Fox, aged ten and seven, in 1848 convinced their parents and many other Americans that they were in touch with ghosts in a haunted house. (Matheson notes that the adult Margaret recanted, explaining how she herself produced the ghosts' mysterious rapping noises: he believes the recantation fake, arranged by the sisters' enemies.)

At the beginning of the twentieth century, famed theologian Abraham Kuyper toured the Mediterranean world and encountered Islam for the first wkkk.net travelogue, part cultural critique, On Islam presents a European imperialist seeing firsthand the damage colonialism had caused and the value of a religion he had never truly understood. Here, Kuyper's doctrine of common grace shines as he displays a nuanced and respectful understanding of the Muslim world. Though an ardent Calvinist, Kuyper still knew that God's grace is expressed to unbelievers. Kuyper saw Islam as a culture and religion with much to offer the West, but also as a threat to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here he expresses a balanced view of early twentieth-century Islam that demands attention from the majority world today as well. Essays by prominent scholars bookend the volume, showing the relevance of these teachings in our time.

(A 90-page True Crime Short with photographs) On April 1, 1984, Marvin Gaye--one of the world's most beloved singers--was gunned down by his own father. A generation later, fans still puzzle over how it could be that a man who crooned about peace, love, and understanding could possibly meet with such a violent end--and from his own flesh and blood. Yet the history of popular music is written in blood.

This is a first-hand journal about the Goldings' travels through Egypt, soon after winning the Nobel Prize, living on a motor cruiser on the Nile. Nothing went quite as planned, but William Golding's vivid and honest account of what actually happened, and of what he saw and felt about ancient Egypt and the exasperations of the living present, will delight his innumerable admirers and everyone who visits Egypt. "e;One of the funniest anti-travel books I have ever read"e;. (Daily Telegraph). "e;No previous book brings you so close to Golding the man. It bulges with abstruse knowledge ...and is often screamingly funny…Hugely enjoyable"e;. (The Times).

修炼内心强大的自己，首先要让心灵达到一定的高度，即人们需要以一颗虚静清明的心去认真思考人生，正如儒家经典《大学》说：“定而后能静，静而后能安，安而后能虑，虑而后能得。”也正如王阳明所劝诫的：放松你的心，使你充盈的“天理”立刻就会出现在眼前。

在毛泽东喜欢阅读的古典文学名著中，《封神演义》占有特殊位置。他读《封神演义》虽不及《三国演义》和《红楼梦》那样，当作政治、军事书来读，也不像对《西游记》、《水浒传》那样，对书中故事时常运用，随手拈来譬解事物，解释道理。从目前看到的史料中，毛泽东谈起《封神演义》的时候不算多，但是，毛泽东却熟读这部书，对书中故事有自己的分析，并且用他这种分析，讲述重要道理。
