Myths of the Asanas: The Stories at the Heart of the Yoga Tradition
by Alanna Kaivalya Arjuna van der KooijThe ancient lore behind yoga poses: “Transports us to a world where gods and goddesses, saints, and enlightened animals serve as our teachers.” —MC YogiPractitioners around the world reap the physical benefits of yoga, assuming poses frequently called by their Sanskrit names. While many know that hanumanasana is named for the deity Hanuman, few know why. But behind each asana and its corresponding movements is an ancient story about a god, sage, or sacred animal, much like Aesop’s fables or European folktales. Myths of the Asanas is the first book to collect and retell these ancient stories. The myths behind yoga’s spiritual tradition have the power to help students of all levels realize their full potential. Meditating on the tolerance of trees while standing in tree pose can help one become more tolerant. Learning how the disfigured sage Astavakra came to be the teacher of a king can liberate us from anxieties about our external appearance and our self-imposed limitations. Marveling at Hanuman’s devotion to Ram can serve as a source of spiritual strength and determination. With more than sixty beautiful illustrations to frame the stories, Myths of the Asanas will add a new dimension to your practice and study of yoga.“Truly enhances our yogic lessons. Some of the nuances of ethics, posture, breath, and meditation can only be touched through metaphor and mythology and we thank them for taking us on this journey.” —Rodney Yee, author of Moving Toward Balance

Los Nadie
by Ale del Castillo Moisés CastilloDesde su libro Amar a madrazos, los autores se han convertido en un referente importante para hablar sobre los problemas de los adolescentes. Historias de violencia cotidiana: niños que molestan y golpean a otros niños, madres que violentan a sus hijos, novios que "enganchan" a sus novias y las prostituyen. Historias de ignorancia y renuncia de una sociedad que abandona a los más indefensos. Los Nadie es un trabajo periodístico fundamental que retrata un México pobre en oportunidades para ellos, los jóvenes. "Esta vez el tándem de los Castillo regresa con un libro que traspasa las fronteras de la violencia de género para abordar, sin amarillismo ni excesos -con un cuidado casi quirúrgico y un respeto ejemplar por los personajes que uno echa de menos en algunos diarios, revistas y televisoras-, el problema de la violencia que ocurre dentro de un cuerpo, una vida joven abandonada o aislada en una casa, ensilencio; un salón de clases donde los niños y los adolescentes pierden la inocencia, aprenden a comportarse con la maldad de un tirano, y comienzan a formarse como padres golpeadores o madres y esposas abusivas y proclives a humillar y ser humilladas; unos hijos que crecerán y tal vez serán de esos esposos o compañeros maltratadores, o esos jefes sin escrúpulos habituados a ordenar con los gritos, las humillaciones y los tratos violentos aprendidos en la familia, en la escuela, con los amigos, en esos espacios que uno supone que sirven para construir sueños y vidas, no para destruirlas." WILBERT TORRE Con el profesionalismo que los caracteriza, Ale del Castillo y Moisés Castillo no sólo recrean las historias, sino que intercalan las voces de los expertos para generar un espacio de reflexión en el que cada uno de nosotros se pueda comprometer para hacer de éste un mejor país.

Naked Faith: The Mystical Theology Of Phoebe Palmer (Princeton Theological Monographs)
by Elaine A. HeathNow and then through the history of the church a great light appears, a prophet who calls the church back to its missional vocation. These reformers are lovers of God, mystics whose lives are utterly given to the divine vision. Yet as Jesus noted, a prophet is often without honor among her own people. In the case of Phoebe Palmer (1807-1874), honor was lost posthumously, for within a few decades after her death her name all but disappeared. Palmer's sanctification theology was separated from its apophatic spiritual moorings, even as her memory was lost. Throughout most of the twentieth century her name was virtually unknown among Methodists. To this day the Mother of the Holiness Movement still awaits her place of recognition as a Christian mystic equal to Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, or Therese of Lisieux. This book locates Palmer's life and thought within the great Christian mystical traditions, identifying her importance within Methodism and the church universal. It also presents a Wesleyan theological framework for understanding and valuing Christian mysticism, while connecting it with the larger mystical traditions in Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox communions. While Palmer was a powerful revivalist in her own day, in many ways she could be the patron saint for contemporary Methodists who are drawn to the new monasticism and who long for the renewal of the church. Saint Phoebe is precisely the one who can help Methodists envision new forms of Christian community, mission, and witness in a postmodern world.

The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful, and (HIV) Positive
by Marvelyn Brown Courtney E. MartinThe surprisingly hopeful story of how a straight, nonpromiscuous, everyday girl contracted HIV and how she manages to stay upbeat, inspired, and more positive about life than ever beforeAt nineteen years of age, Marvelyn Brown was lying in a stark white hospital bed at Tennessee Christian Medical Center, feeling hopeless. A former top track and basketball athlete, she was in the best shape of her life, but she was battling a sudden illness in the intensive care unit. Doctors had no idea what was going on. It never occurred to Brown that she might be HIV positive.Having unprotected sex with her Prince Charming had set into swift motion a set of circumstances that not only landed her in the fight of her life, but also alienated her from her community. Rather than give up, however, Brown found a reason to fight and a reason to live. The Naked Truth is an inspirational memoir that shares how an everyday teen refused to give up on herself, even as others would forsake her. More, it's a cautionary tale that every parent, guidance counselor, and young adult should read.
