by Joanna WeaverWith nearly a million copies sold, Joanna Weaver's popular book shows women how to blend intimacy with Jesus and service for Him. An invitation for every woman who feels she isn't godly enough...isn't loving enough...isn't doing enough. The life of a woman today isn't really all that different from that of Mary and Martha in the New Testament.

Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life-and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany. Tenderly he invites you to choose "the better part"-a joyful life of "living-room" intimacy with him that flows naturally into "kitchen service" for him. How can you make that choice? With her fresh approach to the familiar Bible story and its creative, practical strategies, Joanna shows how all of us -Marys and Marthas alike- can draw closer to our Lord, deepening our devotion, strengthening our service, and doing both with less stress and greater joy.

Hay mucho más sobre El secreto: Un examen al libro de gran éxito de Rhonda Byrne, El secreto
by Ed GungorLa ley de la atracción sostiene que uno puede gozar de buena salud, riquezas o cualquier relación deseada si se entrena a la mente a producir pensamientos continuos que la atraigan a su vida. Aunque hay algo de cierto en el hecho de que tendemos a convertirnos en lo que pensamos (el apóstol Pablo nos enseñó eso), la representación que hace la filosofía de la nueva era de mostrar al "individuo como Dios" es una posición peligrosa de sostener.En este libro que acompaña al revuelo causado en los medios de comunicación, Ed Gungor trata de establecer una representación más completa y precisa del poder de la mente explicando el papel obvio que desempeña Dios en la ecuación. Este libro no está escrito para atacar a publicaciones recientes sino para corregir su consejo equivocado y a la vez dirigirse a la gran necesidad que está causando que millones de personas estén explorando sus páginas.
