Glädje är inte något som ramlar över oss utan resultat av ett medvetet sätt att leva. Glädje är grundtonen i allt kristet liv
Richard Foster
Vägar till glädje betraktas av många som den bästa boken i andlig vägledning i modern tid. Här utforskas vägar som leder längre in i kristen tro och kristet liv. Richard Foster visar att genom de klassiska andliga övningarna kan man nå fram till mer mognad som människa och kristen.
Foster presenterar tre huvudområden som leder till ett mer sant och balanserat liv. Det inre livet handlar om meditation, bön, fasta och studier det som gör att vi själva kan förvandlas. Det yttre livet tar upp enkelhet, avskildhet, ödmjukhet och tjänande sådant som kan göra världen bättre. Det gemensamma livet bekännelse, tillbedjan, ledning och glädje för oss närmare varandra och Gud.
Richard Foster ger exempel på hur andliga övningar kan bli en självklar del av vardagen och visar att glädjen, som ofta är den mest förbisedda andliga övningen, är oumbärlig om vi vill hitta vägen till Kristus.
Vägar till glädje är en praktisk och utmanande bok om det kristna livets rikedom och möjligheter.
Richard Foster är teolog, författare och grundare till Renovaré, en rörelse för andlig förnyelse.

Creative Destruction
Why Companies That Are Built to Last Underperform the Market--And How to Success fully Transform Them
AvSarah Kaplan,Richard Foster
E-bok

Läs direkt efter köp
Turning conventional wisdom on its head, a Senior Partner and an Innovation Specialist from McKinsey & Company debunk the myth that high-octane, built-to-last companies can continue to excel year after year and reveal the dynamic strategies of discontinuity and creative destruction these corporations must adopt in order to maintain excellence and remain competitive.In striking contrast to such bibles of business literature as In Search of Excellence and Built to Last, Richard N. Foster and Sarah Kaplan draw on research they conducted at McKinsey & Company of more than one thousand corporations in fifteen industries over a thirty-six-year period. The industries they examined included old-economy industries such as pulp and paper and chemicals, and new-economy industries like semiconductors and software. Using this enormous fact base, Foster and Kaplan show that even the best-run and most widely admired companies included in their sample are unable to sustain their market-beating levels of performance for more than ten to fifteen years. Foster and Kaplan''s long-term studies of corporate birth, survival, and death in America show that the corporate equivalent of El Dorado, the golden company that continually outperforms the market, has never existed. It is a myth.Corporations operate with management philosophies based on the assumption of continuity; as a result, in the long term, they cannot change or create value at the pace and scale of the markets. Their control processes, the very processes that enable them to survive over the long haul, deaden them to the vital and constant need for change. Proposing a radical new business paradigm, Foster and Kaplan argue that redesigning the corporation to change at the pace and scale of the capital markets rather than merely operate well will require more than simple adjustments. They explain how companies like Johnson and Johnson , Enron, Corning, and GE are overcoming cultural "lock-in" by transforming rather than incrementally improving their companies. They are doing this by creating new businesses, selling off or closing down businesses or divisions whose growth is slowing down, as well as abandoning outdated, ingrown structures and rules and adopting new decision-making processes, control systems, and mental models. Corporations, they argue, must learn to be as dynamic and responsive as the market itself if they are to sustain superior returns and thrive over the long term.In a book that is sure to shake the business world to its foundations, Creative Destruction, like Re-Engineering the Corporation before it, offers a new paradigm that will change the way we think about business.From the Hardcover edition.

LIFE WITH GOD is Richard Foster's first major new work for nearly a decade and is of similar magnitude to his classics: PRAYER, CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE and STREAMS OF LIVING WATER.The starting point of LIFE WITH GOD is that so many of us want to make the Bible the foundation of our way of life, but struggle to make sense of this huge, apparently disjointed book. Why is that Christians try so hard to place the Bible at the centre of their lives, but in reality get very little from it in terms of genuine life-transforming practice?Richard Foster believes that it is because we fail to grasp the overriding coherent message of the Bible - that all of Scripture is unified around the theme of living a vibrant and dynamic life with God. Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of God's plan for seeking out a relationship with us, Foster sees the Bible as 'the loving heart of God made visible and plain.'Readers will discover a whole new way to read Scripture, making it a doorway to a lifestyle we can master, rather than merely knowledge we understand.

No issues touch us more profoundly or universally,' writes Richard Foster. 'No topics cause more controversy. No human realities have greater power to bless or curse. No three things have been more sought after or are more in need of a Christian response.'Money, Sex and Power discerns the biblical principles that enable us to live out a relevant and authentic response to the three greatest temptations of our age.Gerard Kelly writes: 'Foster follows a road few in recent years have travelled, and does so with depth, wit and down-to-earth wisdom. Don't assume for one moment that this book is anti-money, anti-sex or anti-power: the author has a healthy respect and admiration for all three as sacred gifts of a loving creator. What he does urge us to do, though, is to "live rightly" in respect of these key ares, and so to be freed into a life of creative celebration.'

“Scrupulously researched . . . An eloquent fan, Foster brings insight into Page’s recent revival as a sex symbol.” —Entertainment Weekly TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITIONUPDATED BY THE AUTHOR WITH A NEW EPILOGUE She has been called the most photographed model in history. From her modest beginnings in Nashville to her legacy as a cult figure, here is the true story of America’s iconic pinup queen, legendary Playboy centerfold Bettie Page—including her stormy marriages, her trial for attempted murder, and her decade-long isolation in a California mental institution. During the 1950s, Bettie set hearts ablaze with her killer curves and girl-next-door smile. Yet at the height of her popularity, with a promising acting career before her, she walked away. For more than thirty years, Bettie stayed hidden from the public eye, though she lived on in her fans’ memories, much like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. Journalist Richard Foster became the first reporter to contact Page during her long absence, and the first to tell her full story. Using interviews with those who knew her, and filled with uncommon knowledge and insights, The Real Bettie Page reveals both the fun flirt and fashion-forward counter-culture icon whose style continues to inspire today, as well as the intriguing and complex, flesh-and-blood woman behind her smiling photos. Includes classic and rare color and black-and-white photos

Norman Mailer - American Writers 73 was first published in 1968. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.This pamphlet series has been hailed by critics, teachers, and librarians as an ideals means of introducing both students and general readers to American writers of all periods. Choice has commented: "For the small library this series offers at small cost introductions by reputable critics o dozens of significant authors, and the larger the library the greater the number of undergraduate students looking for a place to start on some writer." The New York Times Book Review has called the pamphlets "extraordinarily good," pointing out that "they are just long enough (forty-eight pages) to permit a real survey of an author's work and short enough to attract the casual reader, the anxiety-ridden student, and the professor desperate for the straight word on an unfamiliar writer."

Six American Novelists of the Nineteenth Century was first published in 1968.This volume, based on material from the University of Minnesota Pamphlets on American Writers, provides concise critical introductions to six nineteenth-century American novelists of major importance. The novelists discussed and the contributing authors are "James Fenimore Cooper" by Robert E. Spiller, "Nathaniel Hawthorne" by Hyatt H. Waggoner, "Herman Melville" by Leon Howard, "Mark Twain" by Lewis Leary, "William D. Howells" by William M. Gibson, and "Henry James" by Leon Edel. Biographical information about the writers is included with the critical discussions of their work. A selected bibliography for each novelists lists his works and critical and biographical writing about him.In his introduction to the volume Professor Foster offers a perspective view of the genius of nineteenth century American literature, a literature of innovative vision which he calls unique in its time. "Only one other national literature of the nineteenth century was so marked by intensity, idiosyncrasy, and the spirit of discovery as America's - that of Russia," Professor Foster writes. "If their typical postures in relation to 'Europe' were different, American and Russian writers of the nineteenth century nevertheless had in common something far more significant: the uniquely dramatic subject matter, bequeathed them by history, of a nation's self-discovery and self-creation. This was epic material; and fiction, especially the novel, was the aptest means of imaginatively encompassing it."

Nathan Foster has lived with the spiritual disciplines all his life, but has had to find his own unique path. As he sought - sometimes rebelliously - to develop habits that would enable him to live more like Jesus, he encountered problems both personal and universal. Gradually he discovered creative new ways to practice disciplines such as fasting, meditation and simplicity, to live as Jesus lived. With a foreword from Nathan's father Richard, who provides a fresh introduction to each of the disciplines, The Making of an Ordinary Saint invites us to be formed into the likeness of Christ's character.

First of all I am a born again christian. Calledinto evangelism by God. My name is RichardFoster and I am a retired businessman andevangelist. I have pastored over the courseof my life and I feel that God has given me amission. My questioning mind has inspiredmany original programs and teachings aswell as the inspiration for this book. As aretired businessman I have had to make manydecisions and choices over the years in mybusiness. I can now look back with hindsightand ask myself all those, what ifs as theywould pertain to my life today. That is reallythe core of our story.Its about the choices we make and how those choices affect us immediatelyand all along our life journey.The Loneliest Shepherd deal with choices and how making bad choicescan effect just about every aspect of your life. At the birth of Jesus Iwondered who it was among the shepherds that had to stay behind andwatch the sheep. I wondered how that might effect that persons life, whathis life might turn out to be like and where he might end up.While the story is purely fi ctional, I have taken true accounts from the Bibleand created a what if story around them to help put into perspective justhow criticle making the right choices really are.My prayer is that this encounter with David will cause you think moredeeply about life than you ever have before.
