Prečo toľko ľudí verí v zázraky? Čo o nás prezrádzajú? Čo máme robiť so zážitkami, ktoré nevieme vysvetliť? Autor uvádza presvedčivé, niekedy priam úchvatné dôkazy o tom, že tieto udalosti majú reálny základ – bez ohľadu na to, čo sme si o nich doteraz mysleli. Zároveň predstavuje premyslenú odpoveď na knihy tzv. nových ateistov, ktorí vášnivo trvali nielen na tom, že zázraky a nadprirodzené javy sú nemožné, ale aj na tom, že viera v nej je vyslovene škodlivá. Eric Metaxas, ktorého spravodajská televízia ABC News nazvala "duchaplný posol viery", spracoval tému rozvážne a so širokým záberom – od serióznej diskusie o zlučiteľnosti viery a vedy až po ohromujúce, no dobre zdokumentované príbehy o skutočných zázrakoch, ktoré sa prihodili ľuďom, ktorých pozná. Kniha Zázraky je založená na rozprávaniach ľudí. Podmanivým spôsobom tvrdí, že zázraky sú nielen možné, ale stávajú sa oveľa častejšie, než si väčšina z nás predstavuje.

26. Juli 1833. Das britische Parlament beschliesst die Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Für William Wilberforce geht - drei Tage vor seinem Tod - ein Traum in Erfüllung, für den er sein ganzes Leben gekämpft hat. Trotz Krieg, Morddrohungen und Selbstzweifel hatte er nie aufgegeben. Doch warum setzte ein Politiker wie er seine Karriere aufs Spiel?

One of the most important theologians of the twentieth century illuminates the relationship between ourselves and the teachings of Jesus in this classic text on ethics, humanism, and civic duty. What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace." "Cheap grace," Bonhoeffer wrote, "is the grace we bestow on ourselves...grace without discipleship....Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the girl which must be asked for, the door at which a man must know....It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life." The Cost of Discipleship is a compelling statement of the demands of sacrifice and ethical consistency from a man whose life and thought were exemplary articulations of a new type of leadership inspired by the Gospel, and imbued with the spirit of Christian humanism and a creative sense of civic duty.
