Inspiriere deinen Tag!
by Beatrice Pires-Stadler Ulrike MariaEs gibt heutzutage im Internet Tausende von Affirmationen, die alle wahr und gut klingen und sicherlich einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung darstellen. Sie bedeuten jedoch nichts, wenn sie nur gelesen und nicht aktiv angewendet werden. Dein Leben wird sich nicht verändern, es sei denn, du wendest diese neuen und verbesserten Gedanken täglich an. Meine Arbeit befasst sich mit der Veränderung meiner und deiner Denkmuster in einer einfachen Schritt-für-Schritt-Vorgehensweise. Sie befasst sich auch mit höheren, universalen Konzepten, indem sie das individuelle und universelle Bewusstsein verbindet; wir realisieren, dass wir alle eins sind. Dies ist ein sehr unterschiedlicher und praktischer Ansatz, der von jedermann mit dem aufrichtigen Wunsch, sein Leben und seine Umwelt zu verbessern, umgesetzt werden kann. Es geht um Anwendung und nicht um Wahrheitsansprüche. Egal wie oft du die Affirmationen wiederholst, sie werden sich nur manifestieren, wenn du sie auch befolgst. Du denkst vielleicht, dass du die universellen Gesetze verstehst und ein Gespür für einige der Ideen der vierten Dimension hast - ... und was dann? Glaubwürdigkeit und Verstehen kommt aus der Erfahrung. Ich beweise mir, und ja, du beweist dir, dass die Gesetze funktionieren und wie sie funktionieren. Es braucht Engagement, um die Wahrheit zu finden. "Suchet, so werdet ihr finden" - es braucht eine starke Sehnsucht, um das Lebenswerk zu verstehen. Es braucht eine Liebe zum Lernen, Lehren und Neugier. Wir sind alle Schüler und Lehrer. Wir lernen voneinander. Wir sehen im anderen, was wir bewundern oder was wir verachten, je nachdem, was wir lernen müssen. Es ist zwingend notwendig, diese Wahrheit zu erkennen und dieses wertvolle Instrument der Selbstverbesserung zu verwenden.
Inspiring Forgiveness: Poems, Quotations, and True Stories to Help with Forgiving Yourself and Others
by Barbara BonnerAn encouraging guide for the angry or heartbroken soul, in the form of uplifting stories and quotations.Sometimes forgiveness can feel unfathomable, unreachable, or even just plain wrong. Inspiring Forgiveness throws wide open the doors of possibility within the human heart with the wise words of philosophers, writers, poets, and great thinkers from across centuries and continents. Each offering can serve as guideposts along the path to bringing greater forgiveness into our lives. This book also tells the stories of real-world people—from the Dalai Lama to Congressman John Lewis and more—whose lives were changed forever by forgiveness, including for themselves. Just bearing witness to these experiences can itself be transformative. One wise teacher quoted in this book, Pema Chödrön, offers a simple practice for cultivating forgiveness: &“First we acknowledge what we feel—shame, revenge, embarrassment, remorse. Then we forgive ourselves for being human. Each moment is an opportunity to make a fresh start.&” This book is a collection of those moments. Inspiring Forgiveness consists of twelve true stories of people who have endured great pain at the hands of others and have found a way to open themselves to forgiveness in its many forms. Each story is followed by extraordinary poems that speak to forgiveness as well as a collection of over 100 inspiring quotations. &“What a wonderful illumination of the power of forgiveness Barbara Bonner has given us. The book&’s unique gathering of personal stories, poems, and quotations shows that forgiveness is not a momentary feeling but an attitude toward life, a practice of deep self-healing, and a path to freedom. Inspiring Forgiveness is aptly titled, for it does more than tell us about forgiveness, it inspires us to live it.&” —John Brehm, editor of The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy

Institutes of the Christian Religion
by Jean Calvin Henry Beveridge John CalvinA colossal milestone of Christian thought―at an irresistible price! Here in a convenient one-volume edition is John Calvin’s magnum opus. Written as an introduction to the Christian life, the Institutes remains the best articulation of Reformation principles and is a marvelous introduction to biblical Christianity. Newly re-typeset for clarity, this volume translated by Henry Beveridge offers a more affordable edition of one of the last millennium’s must-have works. This book will appeal to libraries, seminarians, pastors, and laypeople. <p><p>Institutes of the Christian Religion by John Calvin is an introduction to the Bible and a vindication of Reformation principles by one of the Reformation’s finest scholars. At the age of twenty-six, Calvin published several revisions of his Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work in Christian theology that altered the course of Western history and that is still read by theological students today. It was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541, with the definitive editions appearing in 1559 (Latin) and in 1560 (French). The book was written as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some learning already and covered a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone. It vigorously attacked the teachings of those Calvin considered unorthodox, particularly Roman Catholicism, to which Calvin says he had been “strongly devoted” before his conversion to Protestantism. The overarching theme of the book―and Calvin’s greatest theological legacy―is the idea of God’s total sovereignty, particularly in salvation and election. <p><p>John Calvin (1509–1564), a French theologian and reformer, was persecuted as a Protestant. As a result, he traveled from place to place. In 1534 at Angouleme he began the work of systematizing Protestant thought in his Institutes of the Christian Religion, one of the most influential theological works of all time.
Institutes of the Christian Religion: 1536 Edition
by John CalvinJohn Calvin was just twenty-seven years old when the first edition of his Institutes was published in Basel in 1536. Building on the work of Erasmus and Luther, Calvin wrote with brilliance and passion of the many ways the church and its theology had been "deformed," and he presented a case for restoring the church and theology to its pristine purity. Calvin's "little book" -- as he affectionately called it -- grew in size through the rest of his life; eventually, this early, shorter version evolved into what is now known as the Institutes, the 1559 edition, which Calvin considered the authoritative form of his thought for posterity. Noted Calvin scholar Ford Lewis Battles translated the 1536 Institutes in 1975, after completing his masterful translation of the 1559 Institutes. This revised edition of Battles' translation is now being published in recognition of the four- hundred-fiftieth anniversary of the original publication of the 1536 Institutes. <P><P> Intended both for readers who wish to gain a better understanding of this earliest expression of Calvin's theology and for scholars who may wish to pursue further research, this edition contains extensive notes and references. The book's four appendices include a new translation of Calvin's Preface to Olivétan's Bible (1535); the five indices include an index of biblical references and a comparative table of the 1536 and 1559 Institutes. The numerous citations in the endnotes from the writings of Calvin's predecessors and contemporaries illuminate the significance of the text in its historical context.

Institutional Origins of Islamist Political Mobilization
by Quinn MechamMuslim countries experience wide variation in levels of Islamist political mobilization, including such political activities as protest, voting, and violence. Institutional Origins of Islamist Political Mobilization provides a theory of the institutional origins of Islamist politics, focusing on the development of religious common knowledge, religious entrepreneurship, and coordinating focal points as critical to the success of Islamist activism. Examining Islamist politics in more than 50 countries over four decades, the book illustrates that Islamist political activism varies a great deal, appearing in specific types of institutional contexts. Detailed case studies of Turkey, Algeria, and Senegal demonstrate how diverse contexts yield different types of Islamist politics across the Muslim world.
Institutionalizing Rights and Religion
by Leora Batnitzky Hanoch DaganModern statesmen and political theorists have long struggled to design institutions that will simultaneously respect individual freedom of religion, nurture religion's capacity to be a force for civic good and human rights, and tame religion's illiberal tendencies. Moving past the usual focus on personal free expression of religion, this illuminating book - written by renowned scholars of law and religion from the United States, England, and Israel - considers how the institutional design of both religions and political regimes influences the relationship between religious practice and activity and human rights. The authors examine how the organization of religious communities affects human rights, and investigate the scope of a just state's authority with respect to organized religion in the name of human rights. They explore the institutional challenges posed by, and possible responses to, the fraught relationship between religion and rights in the world today.
Institutions of Political Islam in Bangladesh: Histories, Agendas, and Strategies
by Shafi Md MostofaThis book examines the socio-political histories, religio-political agendas and politico-militant (and for some, non-violent) strategies of institutions of political Islam in Bangladesh. Focusing on Jammat-e-Islami, Hefazet-e-Islam, Jammatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh (JMB), Ansar al Islam, Neo-Jammatul Mujahedeen Bangladesh (Neo-JMB), Tablighi Jamaat, and Islami Andolon Bangladesh, it shows how these groups are key actors in the securitization of the postcolonial socio-cultural, economic, and political histories (and future) of Bangladesh.The volume illustrates the complex ways in which every day lived experiences of peoples of Bangladesh, and securitized political and cultural pathways of state governance have shaped and impacted the histories and activities of these groups, and the strategies and agendas of these groups to gain political and socio-religious legitimacy within (and sometimes, beyond) the secularized cultural landscapes of Bangladesh. Moreover, the book argues that even though these Islamist groups bear the same agenda of transforming Bangladesh into an Islamic state, their strategies are different and unique. It also discusses the connections of some of these groups to other transnational institutions of political Islam and extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (IS).This book will be a major intervention in the field of politics, religion, and South Asian studies.
