Vegan Meal Prep for Beginners: Nutrition Guide with Delicious Recipes and Healthy Diet Plan for Beginners. Low Carb Meal Prep to Weight Loss Naturally , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 229min
More and more people are aware of the health benefits of plant-based foods and are cutting meat and fish off their diet plan. In many restaurants, vegetarian dishes are now also on the menu: Veganism has long since become socially acceptable. The situation is different with veganism and pure vegetarianism. The complete renunciation of all products of animal origin is often equated with enjoyment-hostile asceticism and malnutrition. By deliberate selection, one can find almost all nutrients in sufficient abundance in the plant kingdom, and many of the important vitamins, minerals, or secondary plant substances are especially abundant in plants.So, a sufficient supply of almost all essential food ingredients is also possible with a vegan diet! And the fact that you should worry about what comes on the plate, of course, applies not only to vegans but also for mixed food.With a little imagination, the menu can become even more eclectic, delicious, and interesting than at mixed-meal times. It's always worth trying out because vegan nutrition is fun and by no means just "threadbare grain food"!This book will provide you all the information you need regarding a vegan diet and how you can enjoy a healthy life.

C. S. Lewis: Encountering God Through Fiction, Hörbuch, Digital, 384min
This course is a remarkable exploration of the most popular and arguably most influential Christian writer of the 20th century. An atheist for the beginning of his adulthood, CS Lewis later converted to Christianity and went on to become one of the most powerful Christian writers of his time, writing such quintessential apologetic works as Mere Christianity. Today, he is cherished by Christians and non-Christians throughout the world. In this 15-lecture audio course, you will explore Lewis' fiction, discovering many of his most beloved works anew by examining them through a theological lens. By looking at such themes as the central doctrines of creation, the fall, the vices and the virtues, asceticism, and deification, you will come to a deeper understanding of Lewis' fiction. First, you will begin with an explanation of these doctrines, discovering how they are illustrated in such works as The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, Pilgrim's Regress, and The Space Trilogy. Then, you will look at Lewis' most popular novels, The Chronicles of Narnia. You will explore each book individually, concentrating on the theological teachings within each of them. Transfiguration is the central point of the Christian life, but how can this developing transfiguration be expressed? Lewis powerfully illustrated this Christian idea in his fiction, with his genius for poetic images and dramatic narrative, which have resonated with readers of all ages across the decades. Discover the enduring power of Lewis' fiction today. Language: English. Narrator: David W. Fagerberg. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/nykm/000098/bk_nykm_000098_sample.mp3.

John: The New Testament 23-24-25, Hörbuch, Digital, 21min
The book of 1st John is a General Epistle (Apostolic Letter). It is written by the Disciple/Apostle John around 85-95 A.D. probably from Ephesus. The key personalities are the Apostles Peter and Paul. Its purpose was to warn about the increasing threat of false teachings and to reassure Christians of their faith and love in Jesus Christ. It was written to combat false teachings that had to do with the denial that Jesus had a genuine human body (1:1). This Gnostic view of matter as being evil led to two responses, asceticism or licentiousness. He very clearly writes to give the true tests of a true Christian. These tests also contradicted the Gnostic licentious approach to Christianity. He gives several means to measure the reality of one's conversion experience. Christopher Glyn became a Christian at the age of 21, giving up a promising theatrical career in the U.K. to engage in full time missionary work. In the 35 years since then, he has have been very active in the field of Christian radio, primarily on the Asia and African continents. "For years it has been my dream to record an audio version of the Holy Bible, combining my training as an actor with my love for God's Word. I am happy now to have the opportunity to do so. I started the very long process of recording the Bible 3 years ago and by the summer of 2011, the entire Bible was finished. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher Glyn.

Ways of Prayer: A Desert Father's Wisdom, Hörbuch, Digital, 332min
Join Thomas Merton in exploring one of the most influential figures in the history of spirituality. Born in the fourth century, Saint John Cassian (AD 360-435) lived when tensions between the traditional and innovative peaked. A monk and theologian, Cassian made the Christian tradition relevant for the needs of his day in his spiritual works. Indeed, his spirituality remains essential today; he influenced Saints Benedict and Ignatius of Loyola, and his works continue to be read worldwide. Now you have the opportunity to discover the vitality of Cassian's philosophy of prayer with Thomas Merton in these remastered recordings of his lectures. A teacher par excellence, Merton breathes new life into ancient texts as he passes tradition onto novices. Merton's lectures are not didactic presentations about Cassian's teachings but rather an application of them for the modern world. Cassian integrated Eastern monasticism into Western thought, and his conferences provide the principles of monastic life: unceasing prayer, charity, and asceticism. Especially compelling are his teachings about prayer and virtue and his examination of the "prayer of fire" as the goal of contemplation. Merton guides you through these topics and more in his captivating conferences. You will discover why the mysticism of John Cassian is cherished in the monastic tradition and the wider Christian community alike. These conferences will inspire you as you explore your own spiritual life. Photograph of Thomas Merton by Sibylle Akers.

Stoic Philosophy: Ancient Wisdom for Self-Control, Perseverance, and Tranquility of Mind , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 93min
If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. (Marcus Aurelius, Meditations) If you're into self-help and personal development, you've most likely come across the terms stoicism and stoic philosophy a lot these days. Unlike a fancy-sounding pop psychology trend or personal development quick fix, stoicism is a powerful ancient Greek philosophy concept. It was first introduced by Greek philosopher Zeno of Citium (as far back as 300 BC) as a modification of cynicism which talks about self-control, restraint, and fortitude for combating destructive/harmful emotions. Stoicism in principle doesn't call for completely demolishing emotions, but restructuring them through asceticism (abstinence from pleasures of the world) which eventually leads the individual to attain clearer judgment, a strong sense of inner calmness and liberation from suffering/misery. The ultimate goal of stoicism is freeing your life from suffering. That is what is book is all about. In book one of this two-part series you will learn all things regarding stoicism, including: Philosophy of the mind Pneuma and scala naturae Stoicism and the soul Stoic logic and the mind Stoicism vs. Epicureanism Stoicism and cynicism The history of stoicism The essential ethics of stoicism How you can apply stoic philosophy to your life And much more! "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself." (Meditations) ungekürzt.

Earth-honoring Faith: Religious Ethics in a New Key , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1156min
Thoughtful observers agree that the planetary crisis we now face - climate change; species extinction; the destruction of entire ecosystems; the urgent need for a more just economic-political order - is pushing human civilization to a radical turning point: change or perish. But precisely how to change remains an open question. In Earth-honoring Faith, Larry Rasmussen answers that question with a dramatically new way of thinking about human society, ethics, and the ongoing health of our planet. Rejecting the modern assumption that morality applies to human society alone, Rasmussen insists that we must derive a spiritual and ecological ethic that accounts for the well-being of all creation, as well as the primal elements upon which it depends: earth, air, fire, water, and sunlight. He argues that good science, necessary as it is, will not be enough to inspire fundamental change. We must draw on religious resources as well to make the difficult transition from an industrial-technological age obsessed with consumption to an ecological age that restores wise stewardship of all life. Earth-honoring Faith advocates an alliance of spirituality and ecology, in which the material requirements for planetary life are reconciled with deep traditions of spirituality across religions, traditions that include mysticism, sacramentalism, prophetic practices, asceticism, and the cultivation of wisdom. It is these shared spiritual practices that can produce a chorus of world faiths to counter the consumerism, utilitarianism, alienation, oppression, and folly that have pushed us to the brink. Written with passionate commitment and deep insight, Earth-honoring Faith reminds us that we must live in the present with the knowledge that the eyes of future generations will look back at us.
