    The Immortal Game: A History of Chess
    • A fresh, engaging look at how 32 carved pieces on a Chess board forever changed our understanding of war, art, science, and the human brain. Chess is the most enduring and universal game in history. Here, bestselling author David Shenk chronicles its intriguing saga, from ancient Persia to medieval Europe to the dens of Benjamin Franklin and Norman Schwarzkopf. Along the way, he examines a single legendary game that took place in London in 1851 between two masters of the time, and relays his own attempts to become as skilled as his Polish ancestor Samuel Rosenthal, a nineteenth-century champion. With its blend of cultural history and Shenk’s lively personal narrative, The Immortal Game is a compelling guide for novices and aficionados alike.

    • The book delves into the spiritual and cultural missions of Islam and Christianity, highlighting the profound connections and distinctions between key figures and texts, such as Isaac and Ishmael, Jesus and Muhammad, and the Bible and the Qur'an. Shenk also contrasts significant religious practices, including the Eucharist and the Hajj, while examining the importance of Jerusalem and Medina in both faiths. Through this exploration, the author aims to foster a deeper understanding of these two communities.

      Journeys of the Muslim Nation and the Christian Church
    • Christen und Muslime stellen gemeinsam mehr als die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung dar. Täglich berichten Medien über gewaltsame Konflikte zwischen ihnen. Wie können Christen in dieser turbulenten Welt Botschafter von Jesus Christus und seinem Frieden sein? Wie können sie freundschaftliche Beziehungen mit Muslimen aufbauen? David W. Shenk bezeugt, dass Christen ihrem eigenen Glauben zutiefst treu bleiben und zugleich echte Beziehungen zu Muslimen entwickeln können. Auf der Basis seiner lebenslangen Erfahrung und tiefen Kenntnis liefert dieses Buch eine Fülle von wertvollen Anregungen. Spannend und unterhaltsam erzählt Shenk von positiven Überraschungen und spektakulären Erfolgen, aber auch von tragischen Fehlern und Missverständnissen. Fragen am Ende jedes Kapitels dienen dazu, die Inhalte in Kleingruppen oder selbstständig weiter zu vertiefen.
