The Ultimate Happiness Prescription
by Deepak ChopraHappiness is something everyone desires. Yet how to find happiness-or even if we deserve to-remains a mystery. Still more mysterious is the secret to a lasting happiness that cannot be taken away. In The Ultimate Happiness Prescription, bestselling author Deepak Chopra shows us seven keys to uncover the true secrets of joy in the most difficult times.The goal of life is the expansion of happiness, he contends. But in today's demanding world, that goal seems elusive, if not impossibly out of reach. Society reinforces the belief that fulfillment comes from achieving success, wealth, and good relationships. Yet Chopra tells us that the opposite is true: all success in life is the by-product of happiness, not the cause.So what is the cause? The Ultimate Happiness Prescription shares spiritual principles for a life based on a sense of your "true self" lying beyond the ebb and flow of daily living. Simple daily exercises lead to eliminating the root causes of unhappiness and letting a deeper level of bliss unfold. After all avenues to happiness have been explored and exhausted, only one path is left: the journey to enlightenment. In The Ultimate Happiness Prescription, the daunting and exotic challenge of finding enlightenment becomes accessible step by step. We are taken on an inspiring journey to the true self, the only place untouched by trouble and misfortune. On the way we learn the secrets for living mindfully and with effortless spontaneity. Now happiness is no longer hostage to external events but an experience we carry with us always. As Chopra inspiringly concludes, "Everything we fear in the world and want to change can be transformed through happiness, the simplest desire we have, and also the most profound."From the Hardcover edition.

The Ultimate Intention
by Devern F. FromkeScores of pastors and leaders testify: "THIS CHANGED MY LIFE AND MINISTRY."The author considers these critical questions:In the beginning, before God created Adam (mankind), what was His original purpose and plan for him?What could have happened in the Garden of Eden if Adam had not sinned and God's redemptive plan had not become necessary?We know that when God created Adam he received natural life, but how did God plan for Adam to receive Divine (uncreated life)? What is the difference between God's creating and begetting work?It is evident that God has given the Cross a central place in His redemptive working; what is the difference between the work of the Cross and the way of the Cross?Since God, in the fullness of time, will put on display His Divine masterpiece before all the universe, how can we fully cooperate with him if we do not understand His Ultimate Intention?

When Jason Stevens found out he had to jump through hoops to maybe get an unnamed inheritance from his billionaire grandfather, he was not amused.

Ready to tackle the duties of running a multi-billion dollar trust, he is once again derailed, this time by his pugnacious family. Not content with their cattle ranches and oil fields, his aunts, uncles, and even his parents are determined to see every last dime entrusted to their own self-serving pockets.With none of the reluctance he initially showed for the Gift, he eagerly accepts the challenge and pushes himself to prove not only to his family and the court but also to the world, that with determination and the simple tenets of the Gift, anyone can lead The Ultimate Life.

The Ultimate Medicine: Dialogues with a Realized Master
by Robert Powell Sri Nisargadatta MaharajThe Ultimate Medicine is not for those who like their spirituality watered down, but for serious students searching for awareness. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj (1897-1981) lived and taught in a small apartment in the slums of Bombay. A realized master of the Tantric Nath lineage, he supported himself and his family by selling cheap goods in a small booth on the streets outside his tenement for many years. His life exemplified the concept of absolute nonduality of being. In this volume, Maharaj shares the highest truth of nonduality in his own unique way. His teaching style is abrupt, provocative, and immensely profound, cutting to the core and wasting little effort on inessentials. His terse but potent sayings are known for their ability to trigger shifts in consciousness, just by hearing or reading them."The point is that man freed from his fetters is morality personified. Such a man therefore does not need any moralistic injunctions in order to live righteously. Free a man from his bondage and thereafter everything else will take care of itself. On the other hand, man in his unredeemed state cannot possibly live morally, no matter what moral teaching he is given. It is an intrinsic impossibility, for his very foundation is immorality. That is, he lives a lie, a basic contradiction: functioning in all his relationships as the separate entity he believes himself to be, whereas in reality no such separation exists. His every action therefore does violence to other 'selves' and other 'creatures,' which are only manifestations of the unitary consciousness. So Society had to invent some restraints in order to protect itself from its own worst excesses and thereby maintain some kind of status quo. The resulting arbitrary rules, which vary with place and time and therefore are purely relative, it calls 'morality,' and by upholding this man-invented 'idea' as the highest good-oftentimes sanctioned by religious 'revelation' and scriptures-society has provided man with one more excuse to disregard the quest for liberation or relegate it to a fairly low priority in his scheme of things."

El último testamento
by James Frey¿Qué harías si descubrieras que el Mesías viviera hoy? Que viviera en Nueva York. Que se acostara con hombres y dejara embarazadas a las mujeres. Que ayudara a morir a los moribundos, que sanara a los enfermos. Que desafiara al gobierno y que condenara lo sagrado. ¿Qué harías si lo conocieras? ¿Y si cambiara tu vida? ¿Creerías? ¿Sí?James Frey es un escritor que juega con la verdad.

Sus libros habitan en esa ambigua línea que existe entre la realidad y la ficción, y ahora ha escrito su mejor obra hasta el momento, la más provocadora: El último testamento. El objetivo de Frey no es volver a contar la historia de Cristo sino crear una nueva mitología que tenga algo importante que decir en este mundo de armas nucleares, manipulación genética e internet. El último testamento te cambiará. Te hará daño. Te hará abrir los ojos al mundo en que vivimos. Hemos esperado dos mil años la llegada del Mesías. Estuvo aquí y este libro es la historia de su vida.

Los últimos tiempos: Una escatología para personas laicas
by George Eldon LaddEn Los últimos tiempos, George Eldon Ladd ofrece una discusión seria sobre la escatología escrita para el laico, basando su doctrina de las últimas cosas en la convicción de que "nuestra última palabra... se encuentra en la reinterpretación del Nuevo Testamento a través de la profecía del Antiguo Testamento".Las profecías bíblicas sobre el fin de los tiempos han sido tema de una gran cantidad de libros. Sin embargo, muchos de ellos son relatos popularizados que contienen poca erudición bíblica razonada. Aun así, los estudios serios disponibles son a menudo muy difíciles de entender para el lector promedio. En Los últimos tiempos, George Eldon Ladd se ha empeñado en rectificar esta situación con una discusión seria sobre la escatología escrita para el lector cotidiano.Se han ofrecido dos interpretaciones de la relación entre las profecías del Antiguo y Nuevo Testamento. Una perspectiva ve programas separados para Israel y la Iglesia cristiana, mientras que la otra reconoce la revelación progresiva y la unidad de los Testamentos.El profesor Ladd mantiene la última postura, basando su doctrina de las últimas cosas en la convicción de que «nuestra última palabra... se encuentra en la reinterpretación del Nuevo Testamento a través de la profecía del Antiguo Testamento». Solo cuando las profecías se ven a la luz de la revelación de Dios por medio de Cristo, podemos comprender claramente a lo que se refieren en relación al fin de los tiempos.The Last ThingsIn The Last Things, George Eldon Ladd offers a serious discussion of eschatology written for the layperson, basing his doctrine of the last things on the conviction that &“our final word . . . is to be found in the New Testament reinterpretation of Old Testament prophecy.&”Scriptural prophecies about the end times have been the subject of a great number of books. Many of them, however, are popularized accounts containing little thoughtful biblical scholarship. Yet the serious studies available are often too difficult for the average reader to understand. In The Last Things, George Eldon Ladd has endeavored to rectify this situation with a serious discussion of eschatology written for the everyday reader. Two radically different interpretations of the relationship between the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments have been offered. One view sees separate programs for Israel and the Christian church, while the other recognizes progressive revelation and a unity of the Testaments. Professor Ladd holds the latter position, basing his doctrine of the last things on the conviction that &“our final word . . . is to be found in the New Testament reinterpretation of Old Testament prophecy.&” Only as the prophecies are seen in the light of God's revelation through Christ can we clearly comprehend what they mean in relation to the end times.
