I'm Off Then
I'm Off Then has sold more than three million copies in Germany and has been translated into eleven languages. The number of pilgrims along the Camino has increased by 20 percent since the book was published. Hape Kerkeling's spiritual journey has struck a chord. Overweight, overworked, and disenchanted, Kerkeling was an unlikely candidate to make the arduous pilgrimage across the Pyrenees to the Spanish shrine of St. James, a 1,200-year-old journey undertaken by nearly 100,000 people every year. But he decided to get off the couch and do it anyway. Lonely and searching for meaning along the way, he began the journal that turned into this utterly frank, engaging book. Filled with unforgettable characters, historic landscapes, and Kerkeling's self-deprecating humor, I'm Off Then is an inspiring travelogue, a publishing phenomenon, and a spiritual journey unlike any other.
The Santiago Pilgrimage
"Whenever I was asked: 'Why did you go to Santiago?', I had a hard time answering. How could I explain to those who had not done it that the way has the effect - if not the virtue - to make you forget all reasons that led you to become involved in it in the first place." Each year, tens of thousands of backpackers (Christian pilgrims and many others) set out from either their front doorstep or from popular starting points across Europe, to Santiago de Compostela. Most travel by foot, others ride a bicycle, and a few of them travel as did some of their medieval counterparts, on horseback or with a donkey. In addition to those who undertake a religious pilgrimage, the majority are hikers who w...
Religion and Identity in Germany Today
The contributors address a range of issues, including the controversial building of a mosque in Cologne & pressure experienced by German Jews to reconnect with a religion that their forebears cast off sometimes more than a century ago.
Travels with My Donkey
"'A donkey?' blurted my family as one. For a moment it didn't seem they'd ever be able to list all the reasons that made this so entertainingly ludicrous. . . .Yes, I'd never ridden a donkey on a beach or petted one at a city farm, never even pinned a cardboard tail to one's throat after the cake and ice cream....A donkey would be my hairy-coated hair shirt, making my pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela a truer test of the will, a trial." With these words, having no knowledge of Spanish and even less about the care and feeding of donkeys, Tim Moore, Britain's indefatigable traveling Everyman, sets out on a pilgrimage to the cathedral at Santiago de Compostela with a donkey named Shinto as h...
Experiences with Hildegard
Our book "Experiences with Hildegard" is finished! It was created through the joint work of our family and 51 people who contributed their experiences and insights. A book alone can perhaps never do justice to a person. But a book written with the spiritual guidance of Master Dean Li can convey a special energy. Then this spirit can waft between the letters, lines and their contents; a clarity that we, just like Hildegard, seek. This spirit is at the center. Thank you very much, Master Li. Hildegard was once asked about her work in an interview with the Montessori Association: "You are very interested in Chinese medicine. You have already taken part in numerous training and further education...
It doesn't take much to be happy...
Markus Frank describes in his first book the experiences he made on his two Ways of St. James in the years 2018 and 2019. In 2018 he started in Lisbon and went on the central path (Caminho Central) up to Santiago de Compostela. The following year he went from Porto along the coastline upto Redondela (Caminho da Costa), where he returned to the Caminho Central again. He describes essential parts of two different variants of the portuguese Caminho de Santiago. This book is not a travel guide. It's a dedication to the people which fullfill the Caminho with happiness, lightheartedness, freedom and a little bit of adventure.
Reconceptualizing Language Norms in Multilingual Contexts
With cultural and linguistic diversity, migration, and constant change as defining features of contemporary societies, it is increasingly necessary to enhance our capabilities within multilingual environments. Reconceptualizing Language Norms in Multilingual Contexts offers a groundbreaking exploration of language practices and norms in the diverse and dynamic world we inhabit today. It challenges the traditional understanding of language norms as stable and stationary. Instead, it embraces multiculturalism and multilingualism as the norm rather than the exception. Drawing upon a wide range of methodological approaches, this book brings together a collection of position papers, critical refl...

To the Field of Stars
"I am about to share here a story about stars that dance. . . . If the very thought of seeing stars dance piques your curiosity at some deep level of your soul, then pay attention to what follows, for the walk to the Field of Stars, to Santiago de Compostela, is a journey that has the power to change lives forever." -- from the introduction "Pilgrimage" is a strange notion to our modern, practical minds. How many of us have walked to a distant holy place in order to draw nearer to God? Yet the pilgrimage experience is growing these days in various parts of the world. Seeking to take stock of his life, Kevin Codd set out in July 2003 on a pilgrimage that would profoundly change his life. To t...
Finding Myself
Dear Friend, How would you like to come—this August—and stay, completely free, in a lovely seaside house I've rented? Good food and plenty of alcohol will also be provided, gratis. But (you knew there'd be a but) afterwards you must allow me to write up the events of the month in a semi-fictionalised form. (In other words: you promise not to sue.) At the end of the book, you will have three full pages to say exactly what you like. If you think I've distorted things, told outright lies, etc., you can contradict me. I promise not to interfere editorially with your text in any way. Even if it is terribly libellous of me. I am inviting ten other people along, as well. Some of them you know; some of them you don't. I do so hope you can come. Love, Victoria
