Understanding God grabs your mind and your spirit and does not let go. It's the result of lifetimes dedicated to the search to understand God, but it is not a work of religion or philosophy.

It is written in clear, sparse language that both nourishes and challenges your thinking about your relationship with the eternal, and how that relationship shapes your everyday decisions. Listeners are plentiful; thinkers are rare.

"Njals Saga" dateres til sidste fjerdedel af 1200-tallet. Sagaen, som er den længste islændingesaga, er berømmet for sin kunstneriske komposition og sine uforglemmelige scener. Den handler blandt meget andet om det ubrydelige venskab mellem Gunnar og Njal og deres hævngerrige koner, og den viser hvordan en konflikt, der starter mellem enkelte individer til sidst ender med at udfordre hele retssystemet og bringe samfundet på randen af borgerkrig.

I "Den Hemmelige Fodboldspiller 2? kommer vi atter bag kulisserne i Premier League. Den anonyme fodboldspiller har nemlig endnu engang besluttet at tage bladet fra munden og fortaelle opsigtsvaekkende afsløringer om karrieren som professionel fodboldspiller.

Noget de to bøger dog har tilfaelles er, at alt efter sigende skulle vaere ganske sandt - hvilket bestemt ikke gør historierne om slåskampe, piger, penge og personlige nedture mindre tankevaekkende eller interessante.

Nu se poate sa nu te întrebi, din cînd în cînd, cum se face ca cei virtuosi au necazuri, în vreme ce pacatosii o duc bine. si, în definitiv, cum se împaca portretul unui Dumnezeu bun, iubitor, milostiv, cu existenta ubicua a raului în lume.

Si ca, pîna sa ai un raspuns, te poti bucura de o capodopera a poeziei vechi-testamentare.
