Good Enough : 40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection (9781846047374)

***THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** We begin to feel less alone, more loved and less judged when good is . . . enough. In this collection of 40ish short spiritual devotionals, Good Enough reveals the small things we can do to inch toward a deeper, richer, truer kind of faith. Through blessings, prayers and human truths, learn to live with imperfection in a culture of self-help that promotes endless progress, and discover a companion for when you want to stop feeling guilty that you're not living your best life now. Hailed by Glennon Doyle as 'the Christian Joan Didion', in these gorgeously written reflections Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie proffer fresh imagination for how truth, beauty, and meaning can be discovered amidst the chaos of life. Their words celebrate kindness, honesty and interdependence in a culture that rewards ruthless individualism and blind optimism. Ultimately, in these pages we can rest in the encouragement to strive for what is possible today...

Antropologia en vez de metafisica/ Anthropology instead of Metaphysics (9788497841764)

Alumno de Heidegger, colega de Habermas y polemista de ambos, la obra de Ernst Tugendhat y sus obras pertenecen al reino de la singularidad filosófica. Abierto siempre al diálogo con los otros y consigo mismo (hasta desmentirse o negarse si es preciso), esta colección de textos es una especie de tour de force intelectual con Egocentricidad y mística, la última obra de Ernst Tugendhat publicada en castellano (Gedisa, 2004). A excepción del primer capítulo, todos los textos que conforman Antropología en vez de metafísica proceden de diversas conferencias impartidas por el autor en los últimos años. De ahí que el autor haya querido conservar en todo momento la vivacidad expositiva del discurso oral. Tugendhat ha seguido el hilo de las ideas que le ocuparon en Egocentricidad y mística, intentando pensar de forma más sistemática la perspectiva antropológica acerca del libre albedrío, la honestidad intelectual o la integración de una ética de la compasión y la mística en una moral universal...

Angels of Divine Light : The Remarkable Memoir of One of Today's Leading Angelic Healers and Spiritual Therapists (9781476775722)

Profoundly moving, wise, and ultimately redemptive, an inspiring personal memoir of hope and forgiveness, and an unforgettable testament to the healing power of Angels. Growing up in the suburbs of Dublin, Aidan Storey was the youngest of seven, a much-loved, happy child who enjoyed family life. But there was one difference between Aidan and his friends: When everyone left, Angels visited Aidan. Unafraid of the beautiful, luminous spirits that watched over him, it wasn't until much later that Aidan realized not everyone could see what he could--and not everyone shared his exceptional gift for healing. In this remarkable memoir, Aidan vividly recalls how the presence of Angels sustained him through years of great turmoil when his happy, carefree world turned into one of misery and torment. As he recalls the sexual and mental abuse he suffered at the hands of two teachers in his Christian Brothers primary school and the isolation which followed, Aidan tells how the Angels helped him ...

The Emotionally Healthy Church : A Strategy for Discipleship That Actually Changes Lives (9781491598054)

This revised and expanded edition of Scazzero's award-winning book not only takes the original six principles for cultivating spiritual and emotional health in your church further and deeper, but he also adds a seventh principle to show you as a church leader how to slow down to lead with integrity.

Things looked good--but beneath the surface, circumstances were more than just brewing. They were about to boil over, forcing Peter Scazzero to confront needs in his church and himself that went deeper than he'd ever imagined. What he learned about the vital link between emotional health, relational depth, and spiritual maturity can shed new light on painful problems in your own chu...

The Fear of French Negroes : Transcolonial Collaboration in the Revolutionary Americas (9780520271128)

"The Fear of French Negroes" is an interdisciplinary study that explores how people of African descent responded to the collapse and reconsolidation of colonial life in the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1845). Using visual culture, popular music and dance, periodical literature, historical memoirs, and state papers, Sara E. Johnson examines the migration of people, ideas, and practices across imperial boundaries. Building on previous scholarship on black internationalism, she traces expressions of both aesthetic and experiential transcolonial black politics across the Caribbean world, including Hispaniola, Louisiana and the Gulf South, Jamaica, and Cuba. Johnson examines the lives and work of figures as diverse as armed black soldiers and privateers, female performers, and newspaper editors to argue for the existence of "competing inter-Americanisms" as she uncovers the struggle for unity amidst the realities of class, territorial, and linguistic diversi...
