A Essência de Todas as Religiões
by Dada BhagwanPujya Dadashri reconheceu as limitações dos seres humanos desta época, fornecendo-lhes uma resposta adequada que apelou para o uso de uma nova abordagem que emprega um método científico. Pujya Dadashri esclareceu o mistério por trás de tal confusão. Ele diz que toda conduta e comportamento é resultado de causas de vidas passadas. É um efeito. ’Bhaav’ é um termo que indica a intenção interior profunda, a qual não é facilmente evidente. Esta bhaav é uma causa. Ninguém pode provocar quaisquer alterações no resultado. Se a causa muda, o resultado será alterado. A fim de mudar causas, a pessoa deve fazer mudanças na bhaav. Para alterar essa bhaav, Dadashri nos ensinou as Nove Kalams (Invocações). Pujya Dadashri extraiu a essência de todas as escrituras e as apresentou para nós, sob a forma de Nove Kalams. Essas Nove Kalams são as chaves para provocar uma mudança na bhaav, em um nível fundamental. Nem mesmo o extenso estudo das escrituras trará tais mudanças na bhaav. Milhares de pessoas foram beneficiadas com a m nsagem simples dessas kalams. Ao recitar essas Nove Kalams, ovas causas internas são completamente mudadas e se alcança a paz interior nesta vida. A pessoa pára de ver defeitos nos outros, e seu principal objetivo, torna-se a busca da paz eterna.Para tornar-se preenchido com os poderes especiais que atualmente faltam interiormente, tudo que se tem a fazer é continuar a pedir a força do Deus interior. Os resultados virão naturalmente.
A European Youth Revolt: European Perspectives on Youth Protest and Social Movements in the 1980s (Palgrave Studies in the History of Social Movements)
by Bart van der SteenDuring the early 1980s, large parts of Europe were swept with riots and youth revolts. Radicalised young people occupied buildings and clashed with the police in cities such as Zurich, Berlin and Amsterdam, while in Great Britain and France, 'migrant' youths protested fiercely against their underprivileged position and police brutality. Was there a link between the youth revolts in different European cities, and if so, how were they connected and how did they influence each other? These questions are central in this volume. This book covers case studies from countries in both Eastern and Western Europe and focuses not only on political movements such as squatting, but also on political subcultures such as punk, as well as the interaction between them. In doing so, it is the first historical collection with a transnational and interdisciplinary perspective on youth, youth revolts and social movements in the 1980s.

A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix
by Edwin H. Friedman Margaret M. Treadwell Edward W. BealTen years after his death, Edwin Friedman's insights into leadership are more urgently needed than ever. He was the first to tell us that all organizations have personalities, as families do, and to apply the insights of family therapy to churches and synagogues, rectors and rabbis, politicians and teachers. Failure of Nerve is essential reading for all leaders, be they parents or presidents, corporate executives or educators, religious superiors or coaches, healers or generals, managers or clergy. Friedman's insights about our regressed "seatbelt society," oriented toward safety rather than adventure, help explain the sabotage that leaders constantly face today. Suspicious of the quick fixes and instant solutions that sweep through our culture only to give way to the next fad, he argues for strength and self-differentiation as the marks of true leadership. His formula for success is more maturity, not more data; stamina, not technique; and personal responsibility, not empathy. This book was unfinished at the time of Friedman's death and originally published in a limited edition. This new edition makes his life-changing insights and challenges available to a new generation of readers.

A Faith Embracing All Creatures: Addressing Commonly Asked Questions About Christian Care For Animals
by Tripp York Andy Alexis-BakerWhat is the purpose of animals? Didn't God give humans dominion over other creatures? Didn't Jesus eat lamb? These are the kinds of questions that Christians who advocate compassion toward other animals regularly face. Yet Christians who have a faith-based commitment to care for other animals through what they eat, what they wear, and how they live with other creatures are often unsure how to address these biblically and theologically based challenges. In A Faith Embracing All Creatures, authors from various denominational, national, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds wrestle with the text, theology, and tradition to explain the roots of their desire to live peaceably with their nonhuman kin. Together, they show that there are no easy answers on "what the Bible says about animals." Instead, there are nuances and complexities, which even those asking these questions may be unaware of. Editors Andy Alexis-Baker and Tripp York have gathered a collection of essays that wrestle with these nuances and tensions in Scripture around nonhuman animals. In so doing, they expand the discussion of nonviolence, peacemaking, and reconciliation to include the oft-forgotten other members of God's good creation.

But one question remains: Is a life of faith worth embracing?A Faith for the Generations explains how a Christian campus, a classroom, or even a simple mentoring relationship can flourish and serve in passing on faith to today's emerging adults.The essays included in this monograph cover a variety of topics related to the theme originally addressed at the 2014 Taylor University Higher Education Symposium: ""A Faith for the Generations: How Collegiate Experience Impacts Faith."" After this brief introductory chapter, the monograph—as did the symposium—begins with an interview with Christian Smith, previously noted as a key voice in the current dialogue regarding emerging adult spirituality.

A Faithful Farewell: Living Your Last Chapter with Love
by Marilyn McEntyreWhen the time comes for us to die, how do we say good-bye to our friends, our families, and the lives we have lived? How do we remain faithful -- to God, to ourselves, and to loved ones -- as we face our final journey? As Marilyn McEntyre acknowledges, these questions are especially challenging because we now live longer than previous generations did, and many of us die more slowly. Those who are dying have a lot of things to deal with -- fear, discouragement, boredom, pain, regret. The list is long. In this book McEntyre offers fifty-two short meditations on the very real issues faced by dying people. She addresses a wide and sensitively chosen range of subjects, including such things as anger, losing control, curiosity, doubt, loss of privacy, family conflict, sadness, gratitude, and even spiritual adventure. McEntyre’s insightful reflections -- offering what she calls “a different kind of hope” -- speak to the heart of the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of dying. Brief concluding prayers and lines from cherished hymns further lift up the reader as he or she seeks to faithfully navigate the great transition from this life to the next.
