DÉ y se le darÁ: ¿Dar quÉ?
by DRA PENSACOLA H JEFFERSONDios es el PRIMER Dador. El primer regalo asombroso que le dio a la humanidad fue la VIDA ESPIRITUAL. “… .Dios formó al hombre del polvo de la tierra (CUERPO), y sopló en su nariz EL ALIENTO DE VIDA (ESPÍRITU); y el hombre se convirtió en alma viviente (ALMA)… ”(Génesis 2: 7 KJV). "... El Espíritu de Dios ME HIZO, Y EL ALIENTO del Todopoderoso" ME DA "VIDA ..." (Job 33: 4 NASB). "... Él mismo DA a todos VIDA, ALIENTO y todas las cosas ..." (Hechos 17 : 25 NASB). “… Te mando en la presencia de Dios, quien DA VIDA a todas las cosas…” (1 Timoteo 6:13 NASB). “… En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios. Él estaba en el principio con Dios. Todas las cosas llegaron a existir a través de Él, y sin Él nada llegó a existir que haya llegado a existir. EN ÉL HABÍA VIDA, y LA LUZ era la LUZ (gloria) de hombres ... (Juan 1: 1-4 NASB). El Hijo (Jesús) es el resplandor de la GLORIA de Dios ... " (Hebreos 1: 3 RV). "... el resplandor de Dios es como la LUZ del sol ..." (Habacuc 3: 4.NASB). "... El [Espíritu] invisible ... desde la creación del mundo es ... CLARAMENTE VISTO ..." (Romanos 1 : 20 KJV). LA VIDA, ya sea natural o espiritual, distingue a los VIVIENTES física y espiritualmente de los MUERTOS. La conclusión es que Dios es, en última instancia, el DADOR de vida y es el ÚNICO que puede DAR vida a cualquier cosa o persona.

How to Keep an Open Mind: An Ancient Guide to Thinking Like a Skeptic (Ancient Wisdom for Modern Readers)
by Sextus EmpiricusHow ancient skepticism can help you attain tranquility by learning to suspend judgmentAlong with Stoicism and Epicureanism, Skepticism is one of the three major schools of ancient Greek philosophy that claim to offer a way of living as well as thinking. How to Keep an Open Mind provides an unmatched introduction to skepticism by presenting a fresh, modern translation of key passages from the writings of Sextus Empiricus, the only Greek skeptic whose works have survived.While content in daily life to go along with things as they appear to be, Sextus advocated—and provided a set of techniques to achieve—a radical suspension of judgment about the way things really are, believing that such nonjudging can be useful for challenging the unfounded dogmatism of others and may help one achieve a state of calm and tranquility. In an introduction, Richard Bett makes the case that the most important lesson we can draw from Sextus’s brand of skepticism today may be an ability to see what can be said on the other side of any issue, leading to a greater open-mindedness.Complete with the original Greek on facing pages, How to Keep an Open Mind offers a compelling antidote to the closed-minded dogmatism of today’s polarized world.
Grow Up!: Life Isn't Safe, but It's Good
by Everett PiperThe &“snowflake&” generation has graduated, and they are taking root across our nation. The &“snowflake&” rebellion and its juvenile temper tantrums are far from over.

A simple glance at the daily news reveals we now stand on the cliff of a cultural crisis where vitriol has replaced virtue, identity politics trump principle, character no longer matters, and elected leaders act more like spoiled children than mature adults. In Grow Up, the nearly two-decades-long president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University and the national bestselling author of Not a Day Care, Dr. Everett Piper, presents common-sense solutions to the lunacy Americans face on the news, in the classroom, and from the mouths of elected officials in a powerful reminder that in the end, civilization relies on adults.

Fit for Purpose: Your Guide to Better Health, Wellbeing and Living a Meaningful Life
by Richard PileAs a society we have never had so much advantage and yet been so disadvantaged by this very same society which we have built for ourselves, by ignoring our basic needs when it comes to sleep, nutrition, movement, relaxation, relationships and purpose in life. We face a rising tide of physical health problems, such as obesity and diabetes, and mental health issues such as loneliness and depression. Our medical model is a broken, disease-based one which is not fit to meet our needs, particularly when it comes to preventing health and wellbeing problems. Just as secular society is often guilty of dualism when it comes to wellbeing, focusing on the physical but ignoring the spiritual, the faith community may make the same mistake in reverse, focusing on the spiritual whilst ignoring the physical. We need to combine all these different aspects to enjoy true wellbeing and a satisfying life.The book explores what it means to be fit for purpose in life: physically, mentally and spiritually. It describes the problems we face, both individually and as communities, and succinctly summarizes the evidence for the key factors that determine our wellbeing. It lays down a challenge to avoid treating physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing as separate. Using knowledge and experience of the worlds of medicine, behavioral change and Christian faith, Dr. Pile presents real life case studies and provides practical recommendations for making changes whether for ourselves, our faith community or wider society.

Unblocked: A Revolutionary Approach to Tapping into Your Chakra Empowerment Energy to Reclaim Your Passion, Joy, and Confidence
by Margaret Lynch Raniere David RaniereIf you've ever felt like you're stuck, unfulfilled, or that you've been consistently "playing small"-and yet there's something inside you that knows you're meant to do, feel, and be something more -then Unblocked was written for you. Leading empowerment coach, Margaret Lynch Raniere, has distilled years of experience and client success into a proven approach to help you overcome the blocks that stifle your potential. By leveraging the ancient chakra system and evidence-based Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also known as tapping, she's created a groundbreaking healing system to help you reclaim your inner power and transform your life.This book includes unique Healing Experiences that will guide you through actively unblocking the lower chakras (root, sacral, solar plexus, and heart). These "empowerment chakras" are the source of our power-and when they're blocked by long-buried pain and fear, we remain limited by self-doubt, procrastination, and a perpetual need to prove our worth. When those blocks are cleared, we finally stop "proving"-and start being-our most powerful, passionate, authentic selves. One by one, you'll free the "empowerment energy" contained in the chakras and unleash your innate superpowers. . . to be fearless and vulnerable, confident and real, strong and compassionate without needing to be "perfect."In addition, Harvard-trained psychoanalyst, Dr. David Raniere, highlights the psychology behind these transformative experiences, including practical tips on how to integrate them and elevate your level of feeling, speaking, and acting in your day-to-day life.Just imagine what you could accomplish if you embraced a new way of being in the world and consistently acted with confidence, courage, and a deep belief in yourself and your value.
