Too Busy Not to Pray
by Bill HybelsFor over two decades Too Busy Not to Pray has stood as a classic on prayer, helping Christians all over the world slow down to draw near to God.During those years, the world certainly hasn't slowed down. If anything, the pace, intensity and number of distractions have only increased. Brokenness and pain seem to have increased as well, with news of civil war, poverty, broken families and sex-trafficking touching us daily. The urgent need for prayer is clear, but busyness still keeps many of us from finding time to pray.Two truths haven't changed in all these years: God is the same powerful, just, holy God he's always been; and true prayer—prayer that changes us and allows us to participate in God's work in the world—can't happen on the fly. So Bill Hybels once again offers us his practical, time-tested ideas on slowing down to pray. Revised throughout and including a new introduction and new chapter on prayer and compassion for the world, this twentieth-anniversary edition of Too Busy Not to Pray calls both young and old to make prayer a priority, and broadens our vision for what our eternal, powerful God does when his people slow down to pray.

Green Mountain Opium Eaters: A History of Early Addiction in Vermont
by Gary G. ShattuckThe green mountains, lush valleys and riotous fall colors of idyllic nineteenth-century Vermont masked a sinister underbelly. By 1900, the state was in the throes of a widespread opium epidemic that saw more than 3.3 million doses of the drug being distributed to inhabitants each and every month. Decades of infighting within the medical profession, complicit doctors and druggists, unrestricted access to opium and bogus patent medicines all contributed to the problem. Those conflicts were compounded by a hands-off legislature focused on prohibiting the consumption of alcohol. Historian Gary G. Shattuck traces this unusual aspect of Vermont’s past.

Il passerotto nello specchio
by Iperbole10 Rita CAPT KUNAL NARAYAN UNIYAL Laurence MitryUn deliberato atto di disobbedienza, e l'uomo è entrato per sempre in guerra col suo più grande avversario, il suo ego. Più cede all'ego, più paga col suo sé divino. Il suo materialismo, la forsennata ricerca del potere e l'indifferenza, lo alienano, lo isolano. Schiavo del suo ego, l'uomo si compiace nel suo falso orgoglio, nella sua vanagloria, nella sua falsa sicumèra. La ricerca non ha mai fine. La sete non è mai placata. Lo spirito sempre tormentato. Il cuore perennemente in tempesta. Oscure nubi sovrastano la saggezza ma la creazione umana ha sete di motivazioni. Per questo, il Signore misericordioso ha tracciato il suo gran disegno. Noi tutti, possediamo un regno interiore. Nel momento in cui iniziamo il nostro viaggio interiore, il buio inizia a diradarsi fino a divenire un'alba di infinita saggezza. Ogni vacuo vocìo si placa la calma si schiude. La gioia del cuore, quella vera, conduce alla pace, all'armonia, all'equilibrio.
