<div>Unpack the powerful visual symbols artists have used throughout history.&nbsp; &nbsp; From a single flower to a carefully placed skull, works of art across history are filled with symbols that carry powerful meanings. The Symbols of Art reveals how artists use these symbols to communicate ideas without relying on words.&nbsp; &nbsp; Why is there a lily in that religious painting? Why does a still life include an hourglass, a mirror, or a piece of fruit? In some cases, these symbols would have been immediately understood by contemporary viewers but now need decoding for a modern audience. In other instances, symbolism is more deliberately elusive, inviting viewers to look closer and think deeper.&nbsp; &nbsp; This richly illustrated visual reference includes:&nbsp;<ul><li>Over 100 key symbols drawn from art history&nbsp;</li><li>Symbols from the natural world, the manmade world, the supernatural, and colors and shapes&nbsp;</li><li>Famous artworks used as case studies to show symbolism in context&nbsp;</li><li>How meanings change across cultures, movements, and centuries&nbsp;</li><li>An easy-to-navigate, fully indexed structure designed for quick consultation as well as browsing&nbsp;</li></ul> Bringing together examples from across periods, cultures, and artistic movements, art historian Susie Hodge explains how symbolic meanings can shift depending on time, place, and intention, revealing layers of interpretation that radically deepen our understanding of artworks.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Clearly organized and expertly written, The Symbols of Art is both an authoritative reference and an inviting guide for curious readers.&nbsp; &nbsp; Whether you’re visiting a gallery, studying art history, or simply want to see artworks with fresh eyes, this book gives you the tools to decode visual meaning and experience art more deeply.&nbsp;</div>

Decoding the Hidden Meanings of Art

The Symbols of Art

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Strength to Strength, an account of how the modern world sets us up to fail at finding meaning—and a plan for finding what you seek. Meaning in life is getting harder to find—and there’s a reason for that. In The Meaning of Your Life, social scientist and happiness expert Arthur Brooks explains how&nbsp;rapid societal and technological changes have rewired our brains, making them ill-equipped to handle questions of existential reckoning. The resulting emptiness is not imaginary, and it is life-destroying for some, especially for young people.&nbsp; Fortunately, there's hope. With compassion, clarity, and practicality, Brooks tells you exactly what you need to do to move toward meaning. You'll take a test to determine where you are on your meaning journey, learn evidence-based tactics for rewiring your brain for complex and abstract concepts, and discover a vocabulary for your desires. Most importantly, Brooks will show you where to search for the transcendence, vocation, and significance that are your birthright as a human being. “What is the meaning of my life?” is not an unanswerable question, but the road to an answer—or answers—is a long one. The Meaning of Your Life is your guide for the journey.

God’s Design for a Rooted, Resilient, and Fruitful Life

The Faith to Flourish

How a society's capacity for belief forms the foundation of its successDo you struggle to find reasons to feel optimistic about the future? Are you trying to understand the creeping institutional dysfunction we see the world over? In this book, Ryan Avent explores how an unswerving confidence in systems of liberal democracy and free market capitalism-which he terms the "Modern Faith"-has left many Western countries struggling to deal with democratic backsliding and social dysfunction. Those seeking the certainty of another technocratic solution, however, are searching in the wrong place. The true foundation of our prosperity, Avent argues, is not in an ability to reason our way to better policies and institutions but rather lies in the nature and distribution of our beliefs.Drawing from economics, history, philosophy, biology, and much else besides, Avent shows that our capacity for belief is what connects us, guides our behavior moment by moment and year by year, and determines how well we cooperate in the production of social and economic complexity. Far from standing in opposition to science and reason, faith is central to the human endeavor. By understanding the nature of faith and how it forms the fabric of our society, we can better find ways to come together to tackle the global crises of rising authoritarianism and climate change that threaten us all, and find hope within one another.

How the Nature of Belief Shapes the Fate of Societies

In Good Faith

The way we define success is breaking us. And we're being invited into a health modeled by Jesus.In Emotionally Healthy Success, Peter Scazzero launches a quiet revolution--calling leaders to reject the world's metrics of speed, growth, and applause for Jesus' slower, deeper way. Drawing from hard-won lessons as a pastor and founder of Emotionally Healthy Discipleship, he charts a practical path toward deep transformation--one that reshapes your inner life, your team, and your church for lasting impact.How we define success matters because there are real consequences for getting it wrong. When we measure success by numbers and image, we inevitably invest our best energies in quick returns, short-term fixes, and an anxious search for the next "big thing." In the process, we damage ourselves and those we lead. More importantly, we drift from Jesus' upside-down way--where the first are last, power is found in weakness, and faithfulness counts more than fame.Scazzero invites us into the Jesus revolution of success no one saw coming--a radical reorientation of leadership around his life and teaching. Through four defining reversals, he unveils a new way of leading marked by slowing down, attuning and listening in prayer, embracing limits, and finding God's power in hiddenness rather than charisma or strategy.At the heart of the book lies The Emotionally Healthy Scorecard for Success, a fresh framework drawn from more than thirty years of global ministry. It introduces eight markers for Personal Formation--the inner life of integrity, rest, and surrender--and eight markers for Culture Formation--the outward fruit of emotionally healthy leadership that shapes marriages, teams, and entire congregations. Together, they redefine what fruitfulness and long-term missional impact truly look like in God's kingdom.Finally, Scazzero calls leaders to embrace a Rule of Life strong enough to hold the weight of their calling, recovering the church's ancient monastic DNA for the formation of today's pastors, staff, and volunteers. He then shows how to ruthlessly reset the way we live and lead, putting first things first so that both our personal lives and our communities can flourish.Emotionally Healthy Success is a prophetic yet deeply practical invitation for every kind of leader--from small group leaders to board members to lead pastors--to trade exhaustion for wholeness, image for integrity, and hurried results for fruit that will last for generations.

Measuring What Matters Most to Jesus

Emotionally Healthy Success

Reckless Reihe

Ich habe mich seinem Befehl gebeugt:

Bin seiner elendig perfekten Dominanz verfallen, während er eine eiserne Kette um meine Seele schlingt - das freie Ende fest in seiner Hand. Er thront weiterhin in Palästen aus Gold und Lügen, während ich in den Überresten seiner Spiele und Intrigen ersticke.

Ich bin nicht frei, denn er lässt mich nicht gehen. Ebenso wenig darf ich bleiben, denn er stößt mich fort. Zwischen uns klafft ein Riss, gemeißelt aus Geheimnissen und Verrat. Aus all dem, was er atmet.



Ich besitze dich: 

Habe mich in dich eingebrannt - so tief, dass Narben bleiben werden. Meine Narben.

Du hast dich in meinem Netz verstrickt, College Girl, weil ich es so wollte. Du bist gerannt, weil ich es so wollte. Und du wirst wiederkommen - weil ich es so will. Wage es nie wieder, an meiner kalten, goldenen Seele zu kratzen. Meine Dämonen ins Licht zu schieben. Das überlebt deine süße, devote Psyche nicht.



In einer Welt, in der jedes gelüftete Geheimnis einen Preis fordert, erfährt Alison, woraus die Alpha Apex wirklich geschmiedet sind.

Gefangen zwischen alten Wunden und neuen Intrigen erkennt sie, dass Flucht niemals Freiheit bedeutet - sondern nur eine andere Form der Gefangenschaft.

Umgeben von absurdem Reichtum und dem giftigen Puls des Avaris steht sie vor einer Entscheidung: Sich in süße Naivität zu hüllen - oder die Masken herunterzureißen. Jene dunkle Lüge ins Licht zu zerren, deretwegen sie überhaupt geflohen ist.

Schnell begreift Alison: Es gibt viele Wege hinaus - doch keiner führt sie fort von Adrians Dämonen. Was wird sie legitimieren? Wird die krankhafte Obsession dreier monochromer Seelen, ihre Frauen, für immer in die Nacht verbannen? Und wie viel Schwärze erträgt ein weißes Herz, ehe es selbst ergraut?

Reckless Escape

Find purpose and meaning in your day-to-day life with A Year of Ikigai, a collection of short and simple daily reads, over 365 days, for easy understanding and integration of this Japanese philosophy. Ikigai is not a Venn diagram with a sweet spot in the middle. It's not your bliss, nor is it your one life purpose. It's not a word or concept from Okinawa. It’s not related to longevity. And it doesn’t mean that you never retire. So, what is ikigai? Iki comes from the verb ikiru, which means “to live.” But it is not referring to your life as a whole, as in a lifetime, but rather your “everyday life.” The&nbsp;concept of ikigai aligns and relates to finding meaning in your day-to-day living.&nbsp;&nbsp; In A Year of Ikigai, ikigai expert Nicholas Kemp introduces the Japanese concept of ikigai through 365 days of practical tips, reflections, and real-life examples to help you apply the principles of ikigai in tangible ways to your life, so you can answer the most important question: What gets you up in the morning?
