Sandcastle Kings
by Rich WilkersonThe world seems to have figured out the formula for manufacturing material success, but when it comes to finding true, lasting happiness, we are as lost as ever. We yearn for more, or less, or something that's just different from what we have right now.Deep down, we know there must be satisfaction for our longing. We just don't know where to find it. In Sandcastle Kings, Rich Wilkerson uses four powerful stories from the seventh chapter of Luke to explain why spiritual fulfillment cannot be found in ourselves, in other people, in material things, or even in religion. By studying the stories of the centurion's faith, the resurrection of the widow's son, Jesus' message about John the Baptist, and the anointing by the woman with the alabaster jar, you will be able to face your doubts and insecurities and overcome your anxiety, discontentment, and depression. Wilkerson wants you to understand that the only answer for your spiritual bankruptcy is Jesus and that until you turn to him you will never experience the lasting peace and joy you so desperately crave.

But rheumatic fever changed all that, and instead of running home, Lainie is determined to find a job at Fort Robinson in Nebraska's sandhills. Tom Hamilton had dreams, too. Dreams of preparing the horses at Fort Robinson for duty on the warfront. Instead, he is assigned to train war dogs and their handlers, meaning that each day he must face the fear he's had of dogs since he was bitten as a child. Lainie and Tom wonder why God seems to have denied them their dreams. But is it possible new dreams will bring them more joy than they ever imagined?

Sandy Koufax
by Jane LeavyIn an era when too many heroes have been toppled from too many pedestals, Sandy Koufax stands apart and alone, a legend who declined his own celebrity. As a pitcher, he was sublime, the ace of baseball lore. As a human being, he aspired to be the one thing his talent and his fame wouldn't allow: a regular guy. A Brooklyn kid, he was the product of the sedate and modest fifties who came to define and dominate baseball in the sixties. In Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy, former award-winning Washington Post sportswriter Jane Leavy delivers an uncommon baseball book, vividly re-creating the Koufax era, when presidents were believed and pitchers aspired to go the distance.He was only a teenager when Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley proclaimed him "the Great Jewish Hope" of the franchise. But it wasn't until long after the team had abandoned Brooklyn that the man became the myth. Old-fashioned in his willingness to play when he was injured and in his acute sense of responsibility to his team, Koutax answered to an authority higher than manager Walter Alston. When he refused to pitch the opening game of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, he inadvertently made himself a religious icon and an irrevocably public figure. A year later, he was gone -- done with baseball at age thirty. No other sports hero had retired so young, so well, or so completely.Despite Sandy Koufax's best efforts to protect his privacy, his legend has grown larger ever since. Part biography, part cultural history, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy gets as close to that legend as he will allow. Through meticulous reporting and interviews with five hundred of his friends, teammates, and opponents, Leavy penetrates the mythology to discover a man more than worthy of myth.

Sangharsh Tala: संघर्ष टाळा
by Dada Bhagwanदैनंदिन जीवनात संघर्षाचे निराकरण करण्याची गरज सर्वांना समजते. आपण संघर्षामुळे आपले सर्वकाही बिघडवून टाकतो. हे योग्य नाही. रस्त्यावर लोक वाहतुकीच्या नियमांचे काटेकोरपणे पालन करतात. लोक मनमानी करत नाहीत कारण तसे केल्याने टक्कर होऊन मरून जातील. टकरेमध्ये जोखीम आहे. त्याचप्रमाणे व्यावहारिक जीवनात संघर्ष टाळायचे आहेत. असे केल्याने जीवन क्लेशरहित होईल व मोक्ष प्राप्ती होईल. जीवनात ही क्लेशाचे कारण म्हणजे जीवनाच्या नियमांची अपूर्ण समज हे होय. जीवनाचे नियम समजण्याबाबतीत आपल्यात मूलभूत कमतरता आहे. ज्या व्यक्ति कडून आपण हे नियम समजून घेतो, त्या व्यक्तीस हया नियमांची ह्यांची सखोल समज असायला हवी. ह्या पुस्तकाद्वारे तुम्हाला समजेल की संघर्ष का होतो. संघर्षाचे काय काय प्रकार आहेत, आणि संघर्ष कसा टाळावा की ज्यामुळे जीवन क्लेशरहित होईल. ह्या पुस्तकाचा उद्देश म्हणजे तुमचे जीवन शांति आणि उल्हासाने भरणे हा आहे, तसेच मोक्ष मार्गावर तुमचे पाऊल मजबूत करणे हा आहे.

Sangre de Emanuel
by Ted DekkerÉsta es una historia apta para todos; pero no todos son aptos para esta historia.Un oscuro relato de tiempos pasados; una historia de amor y profunda seducción; una historia de terrible añoranza y valiente sacrificio. Tanto entonces como ahora, el mal inicia su cortejo bajo un manto de luz, y así el corazón abraza aquello de lo que debería huir y olvida que alguna vez tuvo un amor verdadero. Con un beso, el mal devasta cuerpo, alma y mente. Pero aún hay esperanzas, porque el corazón no conoce fronteras. El amor demostrará que es más fuerte que la lujuria, el sacrificio superará a la seducción, y correrá sangre, porque el corazón siempre se encuentra con violentos adversarios en sus batallas. Si estás desesperado por beber de esta fuente de vida, entra.

La Sanidad Divina Aun Es El Pan De Los Hijos
by Dr Gilbert Adimora DIEGO F. CRUZ G.Uno de los temas que la gente debate y que ha debatido por cientos de años es si la sanidad divina aun se da. Muchas personas se ríen y hablan con cinismo acerca de cualquier reclamo de sanidad divina, dicen que es manipulación por parte de gente astuta que dice ser “un siervo de Dios”. La sanidad divina aun ocurre y soy testigo viviente de que Dios sana a mucha gente de enfermedades que se han diagnosticado como incurables. Quizá por problemas de logística usted no pueda asistir a una cruzada de sanidad organizada por algún hombre de Dios. Aun si logra llegar, quizá no reciba sanidad por razones que solo el Sanador conoce. Pero su Palabra siempre está disponible (Romanos 10:8). Dios ha hecho de su Palabra uno de los mayores, si no el mayor, de los instrumentos para que la sanidad esté a nuestra disposición en todo momento, en todo lugar. Sin embargo, la ignorancia y el desconocimiento han provocado la muerte de algunos cuando no debían morir. Quizá “el diablo, como león rugiente, anda alrededor buscando a quien devorar” (I Pedro 5:8), pero la Palabra de Dios es más que suficiente para cada situación. Conforme avance a través de esta compilación, lo que Dios le pide es que ejercite fe en el poder de Su Palabra y recibirá su sanidad.

by Joyce MeyerLa maestra de la Biblia de renombre internacional, Joyce Meyer, recurre a su propia historia de abusos para mostrarles a las mujeres cómo el amor redentor de Cristo sana las heridas emocionales y le imparte gozo a la vida.¿Puede una mujer que haya sido profundamente herida por las circunstancias de la vida ser sanada, en cuerpo y alma? Si ha sido herida por un hombre al que amaba y en quien confiaba, ¿puede amar y confiar nuevamente? Siendo una mujer que soportó años de abuso, abandono y traición por los más cercanos a ella, Joyce Meyer puede responder con un rotundo: "¡Sí!".La positividad de Meyer proviene de la experiencia de su propia jornada, y de ver a tantas mujeres que no creen que pueden superar por completo su dolor, sin siquiera saber por dónde empezar, a que encuentren la guía que necesitan en la sabiduría transformadora de la Biblia.El éxito de ventas de Meyer, Belleza en lugar de cenizas, cuenta su propia historia de sanidad. Ahora, con el paso del tiempo, SANIDAD PARA EL ALMA DE UNA MUJER profundiza en la historia de Joyce y muestra el camino a la sanidad a todas las mujeres. Cada capítulo la guía a través de cualquier obstáculo que pueda estar reteniéndola para encontrar su verdadero destino como la amada de Dios. Además, contiene una sección especial de un diario que le ayudará a encontrar la libertad de sus luchas más profundas. Dios puede sanar todo dolor, y anhela hacerlo en usted. Deje que SANIDAD PARA EL ALMA DE UNA MUJER sea el primer paso hacia el futuro maravilloso y feliz que Dios tiene para usted.

The Sanity We Are Born With: A Buddhist Approach to Psychology
by Daniel Goleman Chogyam TrungpaMore and more mental health professionals are discovering the rich tradition of Buddhist psychology and integrating its insights into their work with clients. Buddhist tradition teaches that all of us are born with what Chögyam Trungpa terms "basic sanity," or inherent goodness, health, and clear perception. Helping ourselves and others to connect with this intrinsic ground of sanity and health is the subject of this collection of teachings, which the author gave to Western psychologists, psychotherapists, and students of Buddhist meditation over a number of years. The Sanity We Are Born With describes how anyone can strengthen their mental health, and it also addresses the specific problems and needs of people in profound psychological distress. Additionally, the author speaks to the concerns of psychotherapists and any health care professionals who work with their patients' states of mind. The collection includes teachings on: * Buddhist concepts of mind, ego, and intelligence, and how these ideas can be employed in working on oneself and with others * meditation as a way of training the mind and cultivating mindfulness * nurturing our intrinsic health and basic sanity * guidance for psychotherapists and health professionals "Chögyam Trungpa (1940-1987)--meditation master, teacher, and artist--founded Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, the first Buddhist-inspired university in North America; the Shambhala Training program; and an international association of meditation centers known as Shambhala International. He is the author of numerous books including Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism, and The Myth of Freedom. ""Chögyam Trungpa was the first Buddhist master to present Buddhism in a psychological language that spoke directly to the Western mind. This highly recommended volume, which brings together his penetrating views on Buddhist and Western psychology, will be of great interest to psychotherapists, students of Dharma, and anyone who is concerned with the relationship between the native sun of awakened wisdom within us and the psychological clouds that obscure its light."--John Welwood, author of Towards a Psychology of Awakening
