That Incredible Christian: How Heaven's Children Live on Earth
by A. W. TozerFrom the Introduction:"Someone said that while Dr. A. W. Tozer always sought to introduce sinners to their Savior, he longed to help saints to see the greatness of God and to experience the life of victory and joy through surrender and faith. This theme—recognizing God for who He is, giving Him the worship and honor due Him—was particularly dominant in Dr. Tozer's late writings. To know God requires first of all a right relationship to Him. It requires time, and this we must give. It requires also faith and knowledge, and this God gives us as we humbly seek Him. And because we cannot know God apart from the illuminating Holy Spirit, we must welcome Him, allowing Him to indwell and possess us.The reader will find each chapter in this book complete in itself, and one may speak to him more than another. There is, however, progression, and the greater profit will come from at least one consecutive reading. The chapters were selected to instruct the heart that seeks to "follow on to know the Lord." Such a life may not be always easy, but at last it will be all that really matters.— Anita M. Bailey, former managing editor, the Alliance Witness

Think on These Things
by Jiddu Krishnamurti‘The material contained in this volume was originally presented in the form of talks to students, teachers and parents in India, but its keen penetration and lucid simplicity will be deeply meaningful to thoughtful people everywhere, of all ages, and in every walk of life. Krishnamurti examines with characteristic objectivity and insight the expressions of what we are pleased to call our culture, our education, religion, politics and tradition; and he throws much light on such basic emotions as ambition, greed and envy, the desire for security and the lust for power – all of which he shows to be deteriorating factors in human society.’From the Editor’s Note‘Krishnamurti’s observations and explorations of modern man’s estate are penetrating and profound, yet given with a disarming simplicity and directness. To listen to him or to read his thoughts is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness.’Anne Marrow Lindbergh
Victorious Living: 364 Daily Devotions
by E. Stanley JonesE. Stanley Jones wrote Victorious Living in 1936 to respond to inquirers who had come to him morally and spiritually defeated. They were inwardly beaten, thus outwardly ineffective. The book responds with individual and social emphases, and goes step by step, as if on a ladder, to work through the pressing questions of the inner life and how it extends outward: How do we achieve a life evidencing the peace that passes understanding, even in ourselves, let alone passing it on? What makes the difference between ordinary living and extraordinary, victorious living? How can we build a new inner strength that shines through in our outward character and relationships? Our own efforts to rise above are ineffective but by applying the power of God's Word we can close the gap between our reality and our beliefs. Each daily reading offers essential truths and eternal principles: keys to victorious living in the circumstances we encounter every day! Now this vibrant work is making a long deserved comeback, with a new foreword by Leonard Sweet.
WISEgenerosity: A Guide for Purposeful and Practical Living and Giving
by Christopher GabrielThe question was, &“What am I supposed to do in life?&” The answer: &“Be generous.&”Think about the most successful people you know—those with wealth, power, and status. Are they happy? Are they enlightened? Are they fulfilled? Maybe . . . and maybe not. Sometimes, the glitz of a social media façade hides a lonely, unfilled, and unrewarding life. Chances are, the happiest, most grateful, and most graceful people you know are the ones who have prioritized more than simple &“success.&” Instead, these are the women and men who have chosen a different path—an others-first perspective that prioritizes giving over self-gratification and self-promotion. And not just generosity—WISEgenerosity. In this landmark work, Chris Gabriel presents the guidebook on generosity for the modern age. Forgoing outdated and superficial assumptions about vague, undirected, merely &“feel-good&” giving, Chris brings laser focus to generosity that is W.I.S.E.: Well-grounded Inspired Satisfying Effective Filled with practical instruction, uplifting stories, challenging self-examination exercises, and detailed models, WISEgenerosity cuts through the confusion surrounding why to give, how to give, what to give, when to give, and where to give. Then, it takes you by the hand and walks you down a thoughtful, proven path to a purposeful and productive life—your best life—with generosity that is meaningful and effective for both the giver and the receiver. This is WISEgenerosity.

A Grief Observed (Faber Paperbacks Ser.)
by C. S. LewisWritten after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the "mad midnight moment," A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: "Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself." This is a beautiful and unflinchingly homest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

The Magic in Your Mind
by U. S. AndersenA perennial self-help favorite, updated to speak powerfully to contemporary readers and with a foreword by Eckhart Tolle Before there was The Law of Attraction or The Secret, there was The Magic in Your Mind by U. S. Andersen. Eckhart Tolle recognized the brilliance of this self-empowerment classic and here presents it anew as the latest volume in his imprint. In clear, crisp, invigorating language, Andersen offers a liberating message for anyone seeking to improve and understand their life. He shows how to: • free your “Secret Self” and experience self-mastery • use mental visualization • understand the concept of “mind over matter” • fully employ your power of choice • overcome opposition with tools such as the innate sixth sense Andersen outlines a “mental magic” that makes it possible to attain goals in any field — one made evident by his own many successes in a variety of enterprises. “Here,” he promises, “you will learn the secret way in which your mind is tied to the source of all power; you will learn how you are capable of becoming anything and doing anything you can visualize.” An essential addition to any spirituality/self-help bookshelf or night table, The Magic in Your Mind invites you to experience your innate creative mental power that’s just waiting to be unleashed. “Open randomly to any page, start reading, and you most likely won’t want to put it down. As with all spiritual classics, this will be the case even if you have already read the book several times.” — from the foreword by Eckhart Tolle, bestselling author of The Power of Now
Sobre la muerte y los moribundos: Una lección de vida para médicos, enfermeras y familias
by Elisabeth Kübler-RossAprende a identificar y comprender tus sentimientos y transformar las actitudes para aliviar el sufrimiento psicológico. Negar la muerte como hecho individual o social (con mecanismos del tipo «ya me preocuparé cuando sea necesario») tiene una importante consecuencia: la falta de preparación psicológica cuando se presenta el trance; especialmente en el paciente, pero también en los allegados o el equipo que lo atiende. Sobre la muerte y los moribundos cubre esta carencia. A través de la identificación y comprensión de los sentimientos -ira, negación, aceptación...- de los moribundos, esta obra muestra cómo controlar dichas emociones y cómo transformar las actitudes para aliviar el sufrimiento psicológico. Por ello, este libro es no solo indispensable para profesionales de la sanidad y psicólogos, sino también para todas las personas que deseen abordar su futuro con responsabilidad.
Strength in the Storm
by Eknath EaswaranStress and anxiety affect many of us as we struggle with work pressures, money worries, strained relationships, and the nagging sense that life may be running out of our control. But in the midst of chaos we can find balance, peace, and even wisdom, Easwaran says, if we learn to steady our minds. It's a simple idea, but one that runs deep - a truly calm mind can weather any storm.A highly respected teacher of meditation, Eknath Easwaran offers a wealth of insights, real-life stories and practical suggestions to help us try something more successful next time we're facing our stressors. He explains how to use a mantram (or mantra) to quiet the mind. He describes how to slow down and stay in the present, improve creativity and concentration, shed anxieties and resentments, strengthen our relationships, and stay kind and strong when faced with conflicts, supporting those around us.We learn to calm the mind through practice - there's no magic about it. We can't control what life throws at us, but we can learn to access the courage, patience, and compassion that we need to ride the waves of life minute-by-minute, day-by-day.
Take Your Time
by Eknath EaswaranOver-scheduled, always tired, struggling with the pull of the online world - that's how many of us feel right now. Training a frazzled mind to embrace calm isn't easy. For over forty years, Easwaran dedicated himself to teaching meditation and the wisdom of slowing down. When the mind is unhurried, it is calm, kind, ready for anything, aware of what really matters amidst the clamor of a busy day. The secret is to learn to live in the present, to train our minds to work steadily and with one-pointed attention, however many tasks confront us. Through stories and parables, backed up by practical advice, Easwaran gives us gentle illustrations of a wiser way to live. As we read, we find ourselves in situations where we may get impatient or upset - standing in line, dealing with difficult colleagues, shopping with children with agendas of their own - but as Easwaran relates each event, we see it from the perspective of an unhurried mind. And we see small ways to change how we respond, opening the door to rich, loving relationships, creative and productive work, and a quiet sense of joy that can permeate our lives.

Necesita líderes apasionados, que cultiven las relaciones, dispuestos a ser mentores y a que otros sean sus mentores, a dejar un legado próspero y viviente para las futuras generaciones. ¿Es posible? Absolutamente, y puede comenzar con usted.Únase a la internacionalmente aclamada líder Darlene Zschech en un viaje al corazón del arte de ser un mentor, y vea cómo el liderazgo intergeneracional impacta radicalmente el reino de maneras que usted nunca podría lograr solo.
Lo que aprendí viviendo
by Eleanor RooseveltLas espléndidas páginas de Lo que aprendí viviendo no pretenden ser unas memorias al uso. Tampoco un manual de autoayuda. En ellas se reúnen las palabras de una mujer sabia que caminó despacio, pisó fuerte y llegó lejos, sonriendo. «Nadie me hará sentir inferior sin mi consentimiento.» Bastan estas palabras de Eleanor Roosevelt para darse cuenta de que detrás de su sonrisa afable había un espíritu fuerte y combativo, dispuesto siempre a aprender algo nuevo y a luchar por una causa justa. Cuando escribió Lo que aprendí viviendo corrían los años sesenta; Eleanor ya se había retirado de la vida pública y vivía rodeada de hijos, nietos y amigos. Quedaban lejos sus años como primera dama de la Casa Blanca, pero aún le sobraba energía para contar sus experiencias. No le costó confesar que había sido una chica tímida, a menudo ignorante de los temas que se comentaban en las conferencias y banquetes a los que acudía con su marido, pero sus ganas de saber y el propósito de no quedarse atrás le ayudaron a seguir adelante. Con el pasar del tiempo también descubrió que nadie se convierte en heroína de la noche a la mañana: hay que andar paso a paso y echar una pizca de humor a la vida para descubrir que un problema no es tal si lo tomamos como un reto, que nuestro tiempo es valioso y hay que disfrutarlo, y que podemos encontrar un espacio propio aunque estemos rodeadas de funcionarios, cenando con John Fitzgerald Kennedy o charlando con Frank Sinatra.
