The secreto de la vida cristiana
by Watchman NeeEl deseo apasionado de todo cristiano verdadero es ser como Jesucristo. Sin duda, esa santa ambición es inspirada por el Espíritu Santo, porque la eterna voluntad de Dios es que todos aquellos que son llamados por él sean conformados a la imagen de su amado Hijo. Sin embargo, cuan irónico resulta el que muchos cristianos parecen sufrir una gran frustración, ya que no logran alcanzar esa meta. ¿Lo ha planeado Dios así, o es que nosotros hemos fracasado en conocer y apropiarnos de la provisión de Dios? Gracias a Dios, él nunca llama sin proveer lo necesario. Por tanto, es nuestra responsabilidad entrar en el secreto de la vida cristiana. La verdad es siempre sencilla en su naturaleza. Todo el secreto de la vida cristiana nos ha sido dado en dos frases sencillas: en Cristo y Cristo en nosotros. En este libro el hermano Watchman Nee, presenta el secreto de la vida cristiana en tres partes, a saber: en Cristo, Cristo en nosotros, y algunas aplicaciones. Se trata de mensajes que fueron predicados mayormente entre 1934 y 1938, en varias ciudades de China. Son directos, ilustrativos y fáciles de entender. Este libro puede ser considerado como un volumen complementario del ya clásico, La vida cristiana normal.

THE SOLOMON SEDUCTION: What You Can Learn from the Wisest Fool in the Bible
by Mark AtteberryHave you found yourself in circumstances you never envisioned, tangled up with people you never approved of, and doing things you never imagined?It seems impossible that the valedictorian of the entire human race would ruin his life by making dumb choices, but Solomon did. Solomon was better equipped to see through Satan's deceptions than any man who has ever lived, other than Jesus. But in the end, he became just as blind to them as everyone else. Pay attention to the news and you'll see that it's not just the numbskulls that fall into Satan's traps. It's also the best and brightest of America's fathers, husbands, and sons. Many smart guys who love God end up being ashamed and humiliated by Satan's seductions. With humor, grace, and a pastor's heart, Mark Atteberry seeks to offer practical suggestions on how to avoid a similar fate. His prayer for readers is to experience a wake-up call to move forward and determined on an upward path.

the word on the street
by Rob LaceyFor those who’ve never read the Bible and for those who’ve read it too much. Lacey’s “dangerously real” retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories, poems, and images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase-come-running-commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as emails; Revelation as seen through a virtual reality headset. Out with stale religious terms, here’s a “Bible” which talks today’s language—gritty, earthy, and witty. Enough starting at Genesis with good intentions and getting lost in Leviticus-Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwarding through the “slow-moving” bits with pace, passion, and energy to make the Bible a page turner. Lacey’s tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff Bible stories are made of. This life-experience injects Lacey’s take on Scripture with authenticity and authority—resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. Purist alert: This is not THE Bible (capital B)… but it might just get you reaching for one.
Thea Bowman: In My Own Words
by Thea Bowman Maurice J. NuttSister Thea Bowman spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ as only an African American born in 1937 in Yazoo City, Mississippi, could.

Theater des Konsums: Vorstudien für eine Soziologie der Verbraucherbühnen (Konsumsoziologie und Massenkultur)
by Kai-Uwe HellmannDiese Aufsatzsammlung beschäftigt sich vornehmlich mit der Frage, unter welchen Bedingungen die Erfahrung gemacht wird, dass typische Verbraucherrollen, ob Käufer-, Kunden- oder Konsumentenrolle, in kommerziell organisierten Kauf- oder Konsumsituationen unangefochten ausgespielt werden können und den Interaktionsverlauf strukturell wie prozessual wesentlich bestimmen. Denn keineswegs überall, wo Kauf- oder Verbrauchsakte empirisch stattfinden, definieren diese die jeweilige Situation auch in Gänze, so dass nahezu sämtliche Aufmerksamkeit durch die damit verbundenen, kommerziell orientierten Erlebnisse und Handlungen physisch, psychisch und sozial okkupiert wird, bei weitgehender Neutralisierung aller sonstigen Rollenverpflichtungen. Immerhin müssen sich Verbraucherrollen angesichts einer funktional differenzierten Gesellschaft, in der das ständige Management einer Vielzahl von Publikumsrollen unausweichlich ist, die knapp bemessene Aufmerksamkeitsspanne mit zahlreichen weiteren Publikumsrollen teilen. Im Kern geht es bei diesem Konzept darum, kommerziell organisierte Settings zu identifizieren, die wie Gerichte, Kirchen, Klöster, Krankenhäuser, Schulen, Sportstadien usw., bei denen die jeweiligen Inklusionseffekte eine temporäre Transformation der Personen in Folge der Übernahme entsprechender Publikumsrollen auslösen können – nicht zu vergessen temporäre Transformationseffekte im Zuge der aktiven Partizipation an Zeugenvernehmungen, Gottesdiensten, Fastenritualen, Krankenbehandlungen, Unterrichtseinheiten, Sportwettbewerben usw. – funktional Äquivalentes bei der Ausübung von Verbraucherrollen bewerkstelligen. Als prototypisch für solche kommerziell organisierten Settings, hier verkürzt als ‚Verbraucherbühnen‘ bezeichnet, werden in der Konsum- und Serviceforschung übrigens die Freizeitparks der Walt Disney Company behandelt. Dabei erfordert die Erforschung solcher Verbraucherbühnen eine Kombination von Rollen-, Organisations- und Interaktionsanalysen, zudem eine kultur- und mediensoziologische Perspektive, wie sie für das Studium von Verbraucherleitbildern empfehlenswert erscheint. Denn wie schon die soziologische Rollentheorie festgestellt hatte, orientieren sich Rollenspiele immer an gewissen Images, Rationalitätsfiktionen, Stereotypen, d. h. Normen des Rollenverhaltens, die Richtung und Reichweite typischen Rollenverhaltens vorschreiben und anleiten.

Theater in a Crowded Fire: Ritual and Spirituality at Burning Man
by Lee GilmoreEvery summer, thousands gather from around the world in the blistering heat of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for the seven-day celebration of art, community, and fire known as Burning Man. Culminating in the spectacular incineration of a wooden effigy, this festival is grand-scale theater for self-expression, personal transformation, eclectic spirituality, communal bonding, and cultural renewal.

Accompanied by a DVD, which provides panoramic views of events, individuals, artworks, and, of course, the climactic final night, the book delves into the varieties of spirituality, ritual, and performance conducted within the festival space.
The Theater of God's Glory: Calvin, Creation, and the Liturgical Arts
by W. David TaylorA theological framework for the liturgical arts rooted in John Calvin Both detractors and supporters of John Calvin have deemed him an enemy of the physical body, a pessimist toward creation, and a negative influence on the liturgical arts. But, says W. David O. Taylor, that only tells half of the story. Taylor examines Calvin's trinitarian theology as it intersects his doctrine of the physical creation in order to argue for a positive theological account of the liturgical arts. He does so believing that Calvin's theology can serve, perhaps surprisingly, as a rich resource for understanding the theological purposes of the arts in corporate worship. Drawing on Calvin's Institutes, biblical commentaries, sermons, catechisms, treatises, and worship orders, this book represents one of the most thorough investigations available of John Calvin's theology of the physical creation—and the promising possibilities it opens up for the formative role of the arts in worship.

Theatre and Residual Culture: J.M. Synge and Pre-Christian Ireland
by Christopher CollinsThis book considers the cultural residue from pre-Christian Ireland in Synge’s plays and performances. By dramatising a residual culture in front of a predominantly modern and political Irish Catholic middle class audience, the book argues that Synge attempted to offer an alternative understanding of what it meant to be “modern” at the beginning of the twentieth century. The book draws extensively on Synge’s archive to demonstrate how pre-Christian residual culture informed not just how he wrote and staged pre-Christian beliefs, but also how he thought about an older, almost forgotten culture that Catholic Ireland desperately wanted to forget. Each of Synge’s plays is considered in an individual chapter, and they identify how Synge’s dramaturgy was informed by pre-Christian beliefs of animism, pantheism, folklore, superstition and magical ritual.
THEE PSYCHICK BIBLE
by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge Jason Louv Carl AbrahamssonThee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the 1980s, popularizing tattooing, body piercing, "acid house" raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations. Its leader was Genesis P-Orridge, co-founder of Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle, the band that created the industrial music genre.The limited signed cloth edition of Thee Psychick Bible quickly sold out, creating demand for any edition of this 544-page book, which will be available in a handsome smyth-sewn paperback edition with flaps and ribbon. According to author Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, "this is the most profound new manual on practical magick, taking it from its Crowleyan empowerment of the Individual to a next level of realization to evolve our species."
The End of Time – The Final Conflict
by Peter C. HorrellThe Book of Revelation describes coming events. St John, the writer, sees an open door and is invited to come up to learn what must take place in the future. Some of these prophetic events are already in motion and slowly building up for Armageddon. These prophecies are dire warnings to all the inhabitants of Earth. St John is giving us a vivid and frightening picture of earth-shattering events, leading up to the end of time. The world's clock is ticking away. Time is running out fast. Having turned its back on God and on His Son, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of mankind, humankind is responsible for its own destruction. It is bringing God's retribution. Jesus summed up the state of humans when He said: "Out of man's heart come evil thoughts, immorality, theft, murder, adultery, unbridled greed, malice, fraud, indecency, envy, slander, arrogance and foolishness." (Matt. 15:19). No one can deny that what lies hidden in the heart of humans is observable, not only to God, but also to the rest of humankind. God's patience is running out (Gen: 6:3). His judgement is inevitable.
Theft of a Tree: A Tale by the Court Poet of the Vijayanagara Empire (Murty Classical Library of India #32)
by Nandi TimmanaThe first English translation of a thousand-year-old story of Krishna and his wife Satyabhama, retold by the most famous court poet of the Vijayanagara Empire.Legend has it that the sixteenth-century Telugu poet Nandi Timmana composed Theft of a Tree, or Pārijātāpaharaṇamu, to help the wife of Krishnadevaraya, king of the south Indian Vijayanagara Empire, win back her husband’s affections. Timmana based his work on a popular millennium-old Krishna tale.Theft of a Tree recounts how Krishna stole the wish-granting pārijāta tree from the garden of Indra, king of the gods. Krishna takes the tree to please his favorite wife, Satyabhama, who is upset when he gifts his chief queen a single divine flower. After battling Indra, he plants the pārijāta for Satyabhama—but she must perform a rite temporarily relinquishing it and her husband to enjoy endless happiness.This is the first English translation of the poem, which prefigures the modern Telugu novel with its unprecedented narrative unity.
The Theft of America’s Soul: Blowing the Lid Off the Lies That Are Destroying Our Country
by Phil RobertsonIt’s time to take back what the devil has stolen and put God back into our culture.Phil Robertson, patriarch of A&E’s Duck Dynasty and one of the most recognized voices of conservative Christianity in America, believes that little by little, generation by generation, America has allowed the lines of morality, decency, and virtue to be erased. Our values have disappeared as we began to believe lies—such as that God is dead, truth is relative, and unity is impossible—that have brought discord, division and protest. But Phil also believes that things can change.Writing with captivating storytelling and unflinching honesty, Phil shows how to make America a God-honoring nation once more: by dropping the ten central lies that rule our day and taking up the ten truths that will bring peace of mind, harmony, and prosperity back to our country. The Theft of America’s Soul is a prophetic wake-up call for all who desire to see our nation thrive. And it is also an invitation to experience the life-giving, peace-filling, wholly-transforming love of God.

The Hairbrush and the Shoe: A True Ghost Story
by Jeanne D. StantonWhen a workman is pushed and hissed at by something invisible on the stairs of her family’s 150-year-old townhouse, Jeanne Stanton must confront the possibility that a ghost inhabits. She proceeds in the way any former Harvard Business School case writer would: she embarks upon a rigorous search for proof of the ghost’s existence and identity, exploring the literature and lore of ghosts; the practices of mediums, psychics, and “ghost busters;” and the various attempts that have been made over the decades to verify ghostly sounds and sights through scientific methods. After visits to a psychic provide insights but not proof, Stanton enters the equally mysterious realms of physics and neurology, hoping science has answers. Notables encountered during her research efforts include Henry James, Arthur Conan Doyle, Oliver Sacks, and Sigmund Freud, the latter a colleague of her home’s original owner. Wry and witty, Stanton takes time out to laugh at her own futile attempts at ghost detection—spending a sleepless night in an allegedly haunted bedroom, creeping along the edges of rooms in search of cold spots—along the way. Determined to get to the bottom of the ghost business, Stanton wavers between skepticism and belief, searching for definitive evidence—and almost failing to find it. Almost.
