The Spirit of Catholicism
by Dr Karl Adam Dom Justin McCannThis is the 1929 English translation of the original German text first published in 1924 and authored by one of the world’s most distinguished Christian philosophers, Dr. Karl Adam.This book is a brilliant and evocative study of the fundamental concepts of the Catholic Faith, from its tenets, its historical development and the role of the Church in world society.For many on the outside, Catholicism, according to Dr. Adam, represents a daunting and somewhat foreign confused mass of conflicting forces that has somehow survived the tests of time. Catholicism is simultaneously new yet quite old; holy yet corrupt; hierarchical yet personal; dogmatic yet utilitarian, and so on.How can someone outside the Church get a good grasp on the essence of Catholicism when it is so vast and seemingly complex? Those attempting to grasp the very heart and spirit of Catholicism should read Karl Adam’s book, which is a most elegant and concise exploration of the faith and an attempt to address these ambiguities.What are the fundamental attributes of the Catholic Church? What is the source from which it has drawn vigor and life through its two thousand years of life on earth? What are the secret sources of its incredible vitality in the world today? The author answers these and many other questions about the nature and structure of the Church. He examines the essential nature of the Catholic Church from the basic premise that it was expressly founded by Christ, traces its historical development and analyzes its actual functioning through the ages.
Dream Healer
by AdamHope is a dire need in our present world of turmoil threatened with war, fear, terrorism, and economic downturn. Adam transmits this hope. He is exceptional for his 16 years of age and wise beyond his years and has a special gift for healing. This book portrays the truth on the ultimate healing with love. Everyone, with no exceptions needs to read this book. Each person can learn a great deal from his honest messages. Adam's growth and approach are methodically portrayed and interestingly includes some scientific correlation's and analogies. I have the distinct privilege of being one of Adam's mentors, teachers and friends, so I have closely followed his development with extreme interest. Adam's life has a remarkable balance because not only has Adam become a very talented healer, but also an "A" student in his regular studies in school, and a top ranking athlete in many sports. As well, his family is most loving and supportive. Therefore, the energy that he emanates in his healing is untroubled, pure and fresh.
The Path of the DreamHealer
by AdamAdam is a young and incredibly gifted distant-energy healer. He first discovered his ability to heal people at the age of fourteen. Now he is one of the world "s most in-demand energy healers. In The Path of the DreamHealer, Adam shares the miraculous story of how he discovered his ability to heal injuries and illness. He explains that we are all interconnected, and with a focused intention to heal and the power of energy we all have the ability to heal ourselves. Adam demystifies scientific concepts and explains how all knowledge in the universe exists in the form of energy that can be accessed for healing through intuition and intentions. He discusses the more personal and metaphysical aspects of this oneness and interconnectedness as it relates to your health. What role do your beliefs and emotions play? How does universal energy manifest itself in consciousness, reincarnation, karma, and past lives?

Do Over: Make Today the First Day of Your New Career
by Jon AcuffFrom the New York Times-bestselling author of Quitter and Start comes the definitive guide to getting your dream job.When you don't like your job, Sunday isn't really a weekend day. It's just pre-Monday. But what if you could call a Do Over and actually look forward to Monday?Starting on the first day you got paid to scoop ice cream or restock shelves, you’ve had the chance to develop the four elements all great careers have in common: relationships, skills, character, and hustle. You already have each of those, to one degree or another. Now it’s time to amplify them and apply them in a new way, so you can call a Do Over on your career, at any age. You’ll need a Do Over because you’ll eventually face at least one of these major transitions: • You’ll hit a Career Ceiling and get stuck, requiring sharp skills to free yourself. • You’ll experience a Career Bump and unexpectedly lose your job, requiring strong relationships to survive. • You’ll make a Career Jump to a new role, requiring solid character to push through uncertainty and chaos. • You’ll get a surprise Career Opportunity, requiring dedicated hustle to take advantage of it. Jon Acuff’s unique approach will give you the resources to reinvent your work, get unstuck, and get the job you’ve always wanted!
Finish: Give Yourself the Gift of Done
by Jon AcuffYear after year, readers pulled me aside at events and said, “I’ve never had a problem starting. I’ve started a million things, but I never finish them. Why can’t I finish?According to studies, 92 percent of New Year’s resolutions fail. You’ve practically got a better shot at getting into Juilliard to become a ballerina than you do at finishing your goals. For years, I thought my problem was that I didn’t try hard enough. So I started getting up earlier. I drank enough energy drinks to kill a horse. I hired a life coach and ate more superfoods. Nothing worked, although I did develop a pretty nice eyelid tremor from all the caffeine. It was like my eye was waving at you, very, very quickly. Then, while leading a thirty-day online course to help people work on their goals, I learned something surprising: The most effective exercises were not those that pushed people to work harder. The ones that got people to the finish line did just the opposite— they took the pressure off. Why? Because the sneakiest obstacle to meeting your goals is not laziness, but perfectionism. We’re our own worst critics, and if it looks like we’re not going to do something right, we prefer not to do it at all. That’s why we’re most likely to quit on day two, “the day after perfect”—when our results almost always underperform our aspirations. The strategies in this book are counterintuitive and might feel like cheating. But they’re based on studies conducted by a university researcher with hundreds of participants. You might not guess that having more fun, eliminating your secret rules, and choosing something to bomb intentionally works. But the data says otherwise. People who have fun are 43 percent more successful! Imagine if your diet, guitar playing, or small business was 43 percent more successful just by following a few simple principles. If you’re tired of being a chronic starter and want to become a consistent finisher, you have two options: You can continue to beat yourself up and try harder, since this time that will work. Or you can give yourself the gift of done.
¡Termina!: Descubre la clave para lograr tus objetivos
by Jon AcuffSi cada que empiezas algo nuevo, por una u otra razón, siempre lo dejas a la mitad, este libro es para ti. Durante años, pensé que mi problema era que no me esforzaba lo suficiente. Entonces comencé a levantarme más temprano, tomé las suficientes bebidas energéticas para matar a un caballo, contraté a un life coach y comí más superalimentos. Nada funcionó. ¿Por qué? Porque el obstáculo más furtivo para alcanzar nuestras metas no es la pereza, sino el perfeccionismo. Somos nuestros peores críticos, y si parece que no vamos a hacer algo bien, preferimos no hacerlo. Las estrategias en este libro pueden parecer una trampa, pero se basan en estudios realizados por un investigador universitario con cientos de participantes y casos probados. Imagina que tu dieta, tocar la guitarra o tu pequeña empresa tuvieran 43% más de posibilidad de éxito sólo por seguir unos simples principios. Si estás cansado de intentar terminar tus proyectos y quieres tener constancia en tu vida, tienes dos opciones: puedes seguir dándote golpes y esforzándote más, "ya que esta vez funcionará", o puedes darte el regalo de terminarlos: con este libro sabrás cómo hacerlo.
