Uncharted: The Journey Through Uncertainty To Infinite Possibility
by Colette Baron-ReidWhere are we going? How will we get there? In a world of uncertainty, most of us don’t really know. Our challenge is to sail into uncharted waters —away from the familiar ways that don’t work anymore —to discover ourselves and the infinite potential for our lives. It’s in these as-yet-undiscovered places within us that we come to recognize what we can be and what we can co-create with Spirit.If we try to create guided only by the old, familiar map of our lives, what we create won’t be authentic to who we are becoming; we’ll just be doing the same thing over and over. As intuitive counselor and "spiritual cartographer" Colette Baron-Reid explains, we need a different kind of map —not one that tells us where we’ve been, but one we fill in as each new experience changes us into who we need to be to live our destiny. This new map is a map of the soul.In Uncharted, you’ll learn to draw your own map of the soul as Colette guides you on an inward journey through five interconnected realms. First you’ll get oriented in the Realm of Spirit, your "home" that connects the other four. Then you will do the work of self-evolution and co-creation in the Realms of Mind, Light, Energy, and Form.In the Realm of Mind, you experience your consciousness intermingled with that of all Consciousness. In the Realm of Light, you illuminate the darkness and experience transformation as you reclaim lost parts of yourself. In the Realm of Energy, you consciously direct the forces influencing you. In the Realm of Form, you see the results of your self-evolution manifested in the material world. At every step, you learn to harness your personal power and turn fear into possibility as you venture into the undiscovered places where magic happens.

Uncharted Leadership: 20 Case Studies to Help Ministry Leaders Adapt to Uncertainty
by Angie WardMinistry is complicated, and every leadership challenge is unique. How can you lead effectively when there isn't a clear path forward?Real life ministry is complicated--far more complicated than is typically captured in leadership books. There are moving parts and people who require adept, agile, adaptive leadership. Unlike technical challenges with a clear or known solution, adaptive challenges are complex and dynamic, requiring creative leaderships. Adaptive leadership is art, not science. It is an exercise in wisdom, not just knowledge. It requires leaders to ascertain the issues, values, and stakes unique to a given situation, to consider the potential courses of action, and decide which courses are best.The case study method is a proven and effective tool to help leaders chart their course by learning from complex, real-life situations. Leaders learn to integrate multiple leadership strategies and concepts by reading and reflecting on multiple case studies, helping them clarify their own unique context, values, challenges, opportunities, and potential actions. Like real ministry, case studies are complex. There is not always an easy solution, or even a fast understanding of the real problem(s). The case studies in Uncharted Leadership promote learning at the deepest level: helping leaders move beyond simple answers to deep individual and organizational understanding and transformation.Uncharted Leadership applies the case study method to ministry leadership. Through a series of relevant, real-life case studies in ministry leadership, Angie Ward brings the classroom to the reader, using thought-provoking questions, commentary, and recommended resources to expand the leader's empathy, understanding, awareness, and skill.
Unchosen: The Hidden Lives of Hasidic Rebels
by Hella WinstonWhen Hella Winston began talking with Hasidic Jews for her doctoral dissertation in sociology, she was excited to be meeting members of the highly insular Satmar sect. While several Jewish journalists and scholars have produced largely admiring books describing the Lubavitch way of life and that group's outreach efforts to unaffiliated Jews, very little has been written about the many other Hasidic sects in the United States. Unlike Lubavitchers, members of these other groups are raised to avoid all unnecessary contact with outside society, including contact with other Jews. Winston's access was all but unprecedented. As a nonobservant Jew with little prior exposure to the Hasidic world, she never could have guessed what would happen next--that she would be introduced, slowly and covertly, to Hasidim from Satmar and other sects who were deeply unhappy with their highly restrictive way of life and sometimes desperately struggling to leave their communities. First there was Yossi, a young man who, though deeply attached to the Hasidic culture in which he was raised, longed for a life with fewer restrictions and more tolerance. Yossi's efforts at making such a life, however, were being severely hampered by his fourth grade English and math skills, his profound ignorance of the ways of the outside world, and the looming threat that pursuing his desires would almost certainly lead to rejection by his family and friends. Then she met Dini, a young wife and mother whose decision to deviate even slightly from Hasidic standards of modesty led to threatening phone calls from anonymous men, warning her that she needed to watch the way she was dressing if she wanted to remain a part of the community. Someone else introduced Winston to Steinmetz, a closet bibliophile worked in a small Judaica store in his community and spent his days off anxiously evading discovery in the library of the Conservative Jewish Theological Seminary, whose shelves contain non-Hasidic books he is forbidden to read but nonetheless devours, often several at a sitting. There were others still who had actually made the wrenching decision to leave their communities altogether. Already called a "must read" by Hasidic blogger "Shtreimel," Unchosen tells the fascinating stories of these and other rebel Hasidim, serious questioners who long for greater personal and intellectual freedom than their communities allow. In so doing, Unchosen forces us to reexamine the history of these communities and asks us to consider what we choose not to see when we romanticize them.
Unchristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity... and Why it Matters

La uncíon de David: Inspírese y desarrolle un corazón conforme al de Dios
by Rey Matos¡Un hombre conforme al corazón de Dios! Desde que leí esta expresión de Dios para describir a David, quedé cautivado. De modo que me dediqué a estudiar las Escrituras para conocer su personalidad, su temperamento, sus razonamientos, su forma de adorar, su modo de enfrentar las injusticias de la vida, sus debilidades y sus pecados, así como la manera en que los enfrentó. Tras años de estudio, hoy comparto lo aprendido de mi análisis; pero, más que todo, lo que he tratado de imitar de su ejemplo. Eso me llevó a la conclusión de que todo el que quiera tener un corazón conforme al de Dios debe seguir a este modelo de hombre, hijo, hermano, amigo, adorador, líder y estadista. Es fascinante ver cómo se abren los cielos sobre aquellos que desarrollan la fe para creer que Dios bendecirá y prosperará a aquel cuyo corazón se parezca al de Jesucristo. Si lee este libro para aprender la historia del mejor rey de Israel, solo obtendrá conocimiento; pero si lo hace para seguir las huellas de ese gran hombre, su vida se transformará e impactará a los que le rodeen. Muchas personas de esta generación anhelan ser grandes «influencers», que los recuerden por su fama y su fortuna; sin embargo, a los que quieran dejar un verdadero legado y unas huellas que otros quieran seguir, les invito a leer La unción de David.

La unción de Jocabed / The Jochabed Anointing: Descubra los 15 misterios de su destino
by Ryan LeStrangeNuestra insignificancia no es una maldición, sino la herramienta que Dios usa para llevarnos al destino que Él nos tiene preparado. Dios usó a Moisés como un poderoso libertador. Pero fue Jocabed, la madre de Moisés, la que lo protegió, lo llevó en su vientre e intercedió por él. El destino de toda una nación estaba dentro de una madre, una persona desconocida y aparentemente insignificante.La unción de Jocabed nos revela quince misterios que señalan cómo Dios nos levanta para que de nosotros nazcan grandes cosas. Ryan LeStrange nos enseña: A poner en práctica los principios y el poder de la unción Jocabed en nuestro andar espiritualA seguir nuestro llamadoA confiar en Dios para que nazca algo grande a través de nosotros Así como Dios usó a Jocabed, Él puede usarlo a usted. Él usa lo más débil que hay en el mundo para confundir a lo que es poderoso (1 Corintios 1:27). Él puede usarlo a usted y a su debilidad como una plataforma para manifestar su gloria. God used Moses as a powerful deliverer. But it was Moses&’ mother, Jochebed, who protected, labored, and interceded for him. The destiny of a nation was inside a mother—a person who was unknown and seemingly insignificant. The Jochebed Anointing unearths fifteen mysteries that reveal how God is raising us up to birth great things. Ryan LeStrange teaches us how to: Apply the principles and power of the Jochebed anointing to our spiritual walkPursue our own unique callingTrust God to birth something great in us In the same way God used Jochebed, He can use us. God uses the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty (1 Cor. 1:27).

Dios equipará a esas mujeres con fuego, celo y poder con el fin de que proclamen el nombre de Jesucristo a todo el que busca la redención. Dios está despertando un movimiento de oración que libere el poder del reino. Entonces veremos justicia, paz y gozo en la tierra, por el mover del Espíritu Santo. Como una Ana de este tiempo, orarás eficazmente y clamarás con oraciones fervientes que transformarán a esta generación.

Uncle
by Julia MarkusIrv Bender knew the meaning of devotion-he had sacrificed his own chance for a college education so that his beloved brother Babe could go. But it is Irv, not Babe, who will become the family achiever. As half-owner of a summer camp in the Poconos, he earns more than enough to become his brother's keeper...and a discreetly benevolent "uncle" to his partner, Mandy Mershheimer, the novelist; his talented, attractive niece, Suzanne; and his protégé and assistant, Larry Driscoll. But it is the nature of benevolence to breed resentments. And it is the nature of good intentions to frequently yield unforeseen pain.
