Sabes Que Te Estás Transformando Cuando...
by Marcela Gutiérrez Bravo Dr Rosie KuhnLa transformación es un gran negocio en estos días. Está en todas partes. Se encuentra en las universidades y en las corporaciones; en los libros de autoayuda, en las iglesias y organizaciones comunitarias. Pero ¿qué es y cómo sabes que te ha sucedido? La mayoría de las personas creen que transformar su vida será algo sin esfuerzo. El dinero de pronto fluirá, las carreras se volverán satisfactorias y vivirán felices para siempre con su dulce amor de sus sueños. La verdad es que ese es el mejor escenario. Es el viejo "Porque todo lo que un hombre (mujer) siembre, eso cosechará." Apuesta al tiempo y obtendrás las recompensas. ¡Fin de la historia! La transformación no es todo lo bueno que debiera ser. Dijo esto como experta en el campo del entrenamiento transformacional y de liderazgo. Y, aliento a todos mis clientes y entrenadores a pensar cuidadosamente antes de embarcarse en este viaje de transformación. No es fácil de andar y definitivamente no es para mariquitas o débiles de corazón. Para transformarse, uno tiene que cultivar la consciencia de lo que eligen hacer y pensar, de manera que puedan elegir de modo diferente - solamente en servicio de lo que dicen y quieren. Uno tiene que cambiar sus intenciones, sus percepciones y orientación y, en muchos casos, cambiar sus compromisos. Se requiere un infernal de trabajo, y en mi experiencia, lo que la mayoría de la gente no quiere es trabajar tan duro. Sé que no quería trabajar tan duro; Aún sigo sin quererlo. Sin embargo, me quedé enganchada en este proceso de transformación al momento que me embarco para otra aventura de vida. El título de uno de mis libros, The Unholy Path of a Reluctant Adventurer, (El camino profano de un aventurero reacio) lo dice todo. Al mismo tiempo, Sé que cada uno de nosotros tiene la capacidad de ser la máxima expresión de nuestra naturaleza esencial y única. Por ello estoy tan apasionada con mi trabajo

Sabotage: How Insecurity Destroys Everything
by Trinity JordanWithout proper respect for ourselves, we don’t really live connected with God and others the way God has designed. During fourteen years of pastoral ministry Trinity Jordan has walked with a lot of people through their struggles. What he has noticed is that THIS is really about THAT in their lives. The THAT is almost always rooted in insecurity. Our unlove, lack of confidence, and acceptance of ourselves have alienated us from God and others. When Jesus says the greatest commandment is to love God and love others as we love ourselves--the key in that verse is us loving ourselves. Insecurity sabotages the abundant life God has for us here on earth. Sabotage deals with the root issues behind our insecurities, including comparing ourselves with others, lies we tell ourselves, discontent, and more. Addressing these issues will result in healthy relationships across the board--coworkers, church members, spouses, children, strangers, friends, family, and GOD.

Sachiko: A Novel (Weatherhead Books on Asia)
by Shūsaku EndōIn novels such as Silence, Endō Shūsaku examined the persecution of Japanese Christians in different historical eras. Sachiko, set in Nagasaki in the painful years between 1930 and 1945, is the story of two young people trying to find love during yet another period in which Japanese Christians were accused of disloyalty to their country.In the 1930s, two young Japanese Christians, Sachiko and Shūhei, are free to play with American children in their neighborhood. But life becomes increasingly difficult for them and other Christians after Japan launches wars of aggression. Meanwhile, a Polish Franciscan priest and former missionary in Nagasaki, Father Maximillian Kolbe, is arrested after returning to his homeland. Endō alternates scenes between Nagasaki—where the growing love between Sachiko and Shūhei is imperiled by mounting persecution—and Auschwitz, where the priest has been sent. Shūhei’s dilemma deepens when he faces conscription into the Japanese military, conflicting with the Christian belief that killing is a sin. With the A-bomb attack on Nagasaki looming in the distance, Endō depicts ordinary people trying to live lives of faith in a wartime situation that renders daily life increasingly unbearable. Endō’s compassion for his characters, reflecting their struggles to find and share love for others, makes Sachiko one of his most moving novels.
Sacral Kingship Between Disenchantment and Re-enchantment: The French and English Monarchies 1587-1688 (Studies in British and Imperial History #2)
by Ronald G. AschFrance and England are often seen as monarchies standing at opposite ends of the spectrum of seventeenth-century European political culture. On the one hand the Bourbon monarchy took the high road to absolutism, while on the other the Stuarts never quite recovered from the diminution of their royal authority following the regicide of Charles I in 1649. However, both monarchies shared a common medieval heritage of sacral kingship, and their histories remained deeply entangled throughout the century. This study focuses on the interaction between ideas of monarchy and images of power in the two countries between the execution of Mary Queen of Scots and the Glorious Revolution. It demonstrates that even in periods when politics were seemingly secularized, as in France at the end of the Wars of Religion, and in latter seventeenth- century England, the appeal to religious images and values still lent legitimacy to royal authority by emphasizing the sacral aura or providential role which church and religion conferred on monarchs.
The Sacrality of the Secular: Postmodern Philosophy of Religion
by Bradley B. OnishiThrough a bold and historically rooted vision for the future of philosophy of religion, The Sacrality of the Secular maps new and compelling possibilities for a nonsecularist secularity. In recent decades, philosophers in the continental tradition have taken a notable interest in the return of religion, a departure from the supposed hegemony of the secular age that began with the Enlightenment. At the same time, anthropologists and sociologists have begun to reject the once-dominant secularization thesis, which both prescribed and described the demise of religion in modern societies.In The Sacrality of the Secular, Bradley B. Onishi reconsiders the role of religion at a time when secularity is more tenuous than it might seem. He demonstrates that philosophy’s entanglement with religion led, perhaps counterintuitively, to vibrant reconceptions of the secular well before the unraveling of the secularization thesis or the turn to religion. Through rich readings of Heidegger, Bataille, Weber, and others, Onishi rethinks what philosophy can contribute to our understanding of religion and the wider social and cultural world.
The Sacralization of Space and Behavior in the Early Modern World: Studies and Sources (St Andrews Studies in Reformation History)
by Jennifer Mara DeSilvaIn the Early Modern period - as both reformed and Catholic churches strove to articulate orthodox belief and conduct through texts, sermons, rituals, and images - communities grappled frequently with the connection between sacred space and behavior. The Sacralization of Space and Behavior in the Early Modern World explores individual and community involvement in the approbation, reconfiguration and regulation of sacred spaces and the behavior (both animal and human) within them. The individual’s understanding of sacred space, and consequently the behavior appropriate within it, depended on local need, group dynamics, and the dissemination of normative expectations. While these expectations were defined in a growing body of confessionalizing literature, locally and internationally traditional clerical authorities found their decisions contested, circumvented, or elaborated in order to make room for other stakeholders’ activities and needs. To clearly reveal the efforts of early modern groups to negotiate authority and the transformation of behavior with sacred space, this collection presents examples that allow the deconstruction of these tensions and the exploration of the resulting campaigns within sacred space. Based on new archival research the eleven chapters in this collection examine diverse aspects of the campaigns to transform Christian behavior within a variety of types of sacred space and through a spectrum of media. These essays give voice to the arguments, exhortations, and accusations that surrounded the activities taking place in early modern sacred space and reveal much about how people made sense of these transformations.
The Sacralization of Time: Contemporary Affinities between Crisis and Fascism (Radical Theologies and Philosophies)
by João Nunes de AlmeidaIn this book, João Nunes de Almeida rethinks the relationship between crisis and fascism in today’s liberal democratic societies. Arguing that fascism has adapted to a post-modern idea of endless crisis, Almeida challenges one of the strongest liberal myths in western politics, namely that fascism and liberal democracy have different roots. Fascism, in Almeida’s view, is at the center of the very production of social relations in western capitalist societies, and is the result of the very desire to be saved from crisis underlying liberal democracy. It draws on stormy examples from Portugal’s contemporary history, with a particular focus on its fascist past and revolution, to explore affinities between crisis and fascism in other spatial and historical contexts. João Nunes de Almeida concludes that refusing to be saved from crisis becomes the refusal of any form of fascism in a more global context.
The Sacrament: A Novel
by Olaf OlafssonThe haunting, vivid story of a nun whose past returns to her in unexpected ways, all while investigating a mysterious death and a series of harrowing abuse claimsA young nun is sent by the Vatican to investigate allegations of misconduct at a Catholic school in Iceland. During her time there, on a gray winter’s day, a young student at the school watches the school’s headmaster, Father August Franz, fall to his death from the church tower.Two decades later, the child—now a grown man, haunted by the past—calls the nun back to the scene of the crime. Seeking peace and calm in her twilight years at a convent in France, she has no choice to make a trip to Iceland again, a trip that brings her former visit, as well as her years as a young woman in Paris, powerfully and sometimes painfully to life. In Paris, she met an Icelandic girl who she has not seen since, but whose acquaintance changed her life, a relationship she relives all while reckoning with the mystery of August Franz’s death and the abuses of power that may have brought it on.In The Sacrament, critically acclaimed novelist Olaf Olafsson looks deeply at the complexity of our past lives and selves; the faulty nature of memory; and the indelible mark left by the joys and traumas of youth. Affecting and beautifully observed, The Sacrament is both propulsively told and poignantly written—tinged with the tragedy of life’s regrets but also moved by the possibilities of redemption, a new work from a novelist who consistently surprises and challenges.

Sacrament of Lies
by Elizabeth DewberryWhen Grayson Guillory's mother died, she helped her father get rid of the empty vodka and pill bottles next to the body. <P><P>It wouldn't do for the governor of Louisiana to have a wife who committed suicide after years of mental illness--especially just as he's contemplating the presidency. Grayson's husband--her father's speechwriter--helps him keep the story quiet, and the family doctor makes sure the cause of death will be listed as a heart attack. <P>But Grayson has a problem. When she thought she was helping her father cover up a suicide, she might actually have been covering up a murder. Because Grayson's mother left a videotape hidden among her personal effects in which she claims her life is in danger. Of course, Grayson's mother did suffer from paranoid delusions. And maybe Grayson does too: manic depression is a highly hereditary illness. But just because she's paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get her...
The Sacrament of Penance and Religious Life in Golden Age Spain
by Patrick J. O'BanionThe Sacrament of Penance and Religious Life in Golden Age Spain explores the practice of sacramental confession in Spain between roughly 1500 and 1700. One of the most significant points of contact between the laity and ecclesiastical hierarchy, confession lay at the heart of attempts to bring religious reformation to bear upon the lives of early modern Spaniards. Rigid episcopal legislation, royal decrees, and a barrage of prescriptive literature lead many scholars to construct the sacrament fundamentally as an instrument of social control foisted upon powerless laypeople. Drawing upon a wide range of early printed and archival materials, this book considers confession as both a top-down and a bottom-up phenomenon. Rather than relying solely upon prescriptive and didactic literature, it considers evidence that describes how the people of early modern Spain experienced confession, offering a rich portrayal of a critical and remarkably popular component of early modern religiosity.
