Souvent, l'architecture d'une vie est composée de passions invisibles, qui ne se diront jamais, que personne ne devinera, inaccessibles parfois même à celui qui les éprouve. Avec délicatesse, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt dévoile les secrets de plusieurs âmes. Une femme entretenue et gâtée par deux hommes qu'elle ne connaît pas. Un héros qui se tue à la mort de son chien. Une mère généreuse qui se met à haïr un enfant. Un couple dont le bonheur repose sur un meurtre. Un mari qui rappelle constamment sa nouvelle femme au respect de l'époux précédent.

A Theology of Dying: Preparing for the Next Life Now is not a book about hospice procedures or end-of-life planning. It is a spiritual exploration of what it means to learn how to die before we die—so that death, when it comes, does not arrive as a stranger. Drawing on Scripture, pastoral ministry, prison outreach, hospice experience, and a lifetime of lived faith, Geoffrey Schmitt invites readers into the quiet, courageous work of surrender that shapes a faithful life. Each chapter explores a different form of “spiritual dying”: the death of ego, the release of control, the letting ...

Interprété par l'auteur, accompagné par quelques extraits tintinnabulants du Casse-Noisette et le bal des souris de Tchaïkovski, ce conte a la fraîcheur insolente de l'enfance et raconte la relation particulière tissée entre une vieille dame et un jeune garçon, la puissance de la méditation et l'incroyable force de vie d'Oscar.

Le petit Wolfgang adore son père, Léopold Mozart, son guide, son modèle, son dieu vivant. Mais vient le temps où l'enfant prodige s'élève plus haut que le maître, et l'admiration se mue en dédain. L'un rompt, s'émancipe, grisé de passions nouvelles ; l'autre souffre, se résigne, cède sa place, contraint d'inventer des liens différents. Un drame silencieux qui, peut-être bien, s'immisce dans toute relation entre père et fils.

When God Is Silent is written for those who have prayed faithfully and found no answer—those for whom God’s absence feels more frightening than suffering itself. Rather than explaining silence away, this book explores how darkness, waiting, and unanswered prayer can become places of encounter rather than abandonment. Drawing from Scripture—Job’s unanswered questions, the unresolved lament of Psalm 88, Jesus’ silence in the wilderness, the cry from the cross, and the long waiting of Holy Saturday—this study traces a quiet, faithful path through the places where explanations fail....

From peace with God to peace in the world, each chapter unfolds like a pilgrimage — teaching us how to live as Christ’s representatives in every circumstance, how to stand firm under pressure, and how to let the fruit of peace transform our ...

À vingt-huit ans, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt entreprend une randonnée dans le grand sud algérien. Au cours de l'expédition, il perd de vue ses compagnons et s'égare dans l'immensité du Hoggar. Sans eau ni vivres durant la nuit glaciale du désert, il n'éprouve nulle peur mais sent au contraire se soulever en lui une force brûlante. Poussière d'étoiles dans l'infini, le philosophe rationaliste voit s'ébranler toutes ses certitudes. Un sentiment de paix, de bonheur, d'éternité l'envahit. Ce feu, pourquoi ne pas le nommer Dieu ?

What does the Bible say about physical strength, discipline, and caring for the body? In Strong for the Journey: Stewarding the Body for the Pilgrim Path, Geoffrey Schmitt explores the often-overlooked relationship between faith and physical life.

The Bible frequently uses the language of athletes and pilgrims—running a race, fighting the good fight, walking the road of faith. These images remind us that discipleship involves endurance, ...
