Témoignage d’un ermite

La richesse de chaque intervalle de prière est inépuisable, mais elle est plus palpable quand elle dure plusieurs jours, dans la solitude du silence et jouissant de la présence de Dieu. À ce moment-là, le Seigneur se révèle d'une manière claire et profonde qui imprègne peu à peu tous les aspects de notre vie. Le Frère Stéphane de Emmaus nous rapproche de l'expérience de son cheminement spirituel, à travers des dialogues, des descriptions et des souvenirs. Il tente de nous rapprocher de la rencontre mystique avec le Christ sur un chemin actuel très similaire à celui des pères du désert.

Manifiesta tu abundancia y usa el poder de tus pensamientos para lograr lo que quieres. La vida tan ajetreada que tenemos nos impide muchas veces valorar las pequeñas cosas que nos hacen felices. Somos expertos en quejarnos, culpar y juzgar a los demás, pero ¿por qué no mirar con bondad al de al lado? ¿Por qué no tener un poco de fe en el ser humano y en el encanto de la naturaleza? ¿Por qué no aceptar que tú eres un milagro, que somos un milagro y que a diario vivimos el milagro de ser y sentir? En este libro, tan lleno de luz como de experiencias de vida, Verónica del Castillo nos invita a reflexionar sobre el poder de los milagros que marcan nuestra vida, desde el hecho de nacer y conectarnos con alguna esencia divina o poder superior, hasta la capacidad de enfrentar, asumir o vencer las enfermedades, los accidentes mortales y el derrumbe emocional, expresado a través de depresiones, angustias, ausencia de una luz en el camino. Tú eres un milagro repasa momentos dolorosos en los que ante la situación más grave y trágica la persona mantuvo la fe para sanar heridas físicas y emocionales, y logró el alivio. Verónica del Castillo te invita, con historias emotivas y frases luminosas, a entender la esencia de los milagros, a comprobar que lo mágico, divino y esperanzador también está en nosotros y puede, para bien, cambiar nuestra vida.

Türen nach Tanger

Wenn der Vater der Familie Benzimra stirbt, hinterlässt er einen Willen, wo er seine Familie informiert, über einen unehelichen Sohn, den er mit einer muslimischen Frau in Marokko gezeugt. Um das Erbe zu erhalten, wird die Familie angewiesen, um alles möglich zu tun, diesen Sohn zu finden. Sie machen auf den Weg nach Tetouan, Marokko, aus Orten weit wie Jesrusalem, Madrid, New York und Paris. Sie sind auf der Suche nach ihren verlorenen Bruder, eine Reise, die wird ihnen Auge in Auge mit ihren marokkanischen Wurzeln ind mit ihrem Judentum bringen, eine Reise, die ihnen zwingen wird, um ihre Identität zu denken. Nach dieser Erfahrung, werden sie nicht mehr gleich sein. Der Roman zeigt die Sephardim - Aschkenasim Konflikte, die in der israelischen Gesellschaft bestehen sowie die Beziehungen und Spannungen zwischen der arabischen Welt und Europa, und zwischen Naher Osten und westlichen Kulturen. Dies ist eine Welt der Komplexitäten und Nuancen, die oft in die Versionen, die die Medien Ihnen zeigen, verwischt sind. Dies ist ein Roman über die wenig bekannte Welt der Juden in Nordmarokko, voller Intrigen, Humor und Erotik. Aber es gibt auch die Möglichkeit einer Heimkehr. Veröffentlicht von Destino in Spanien im Jahr 2008 auf Spanisch, Arabisch und Hebräisch, und nun übersetzt wurde auf Portugiesisch, Französisch und Italienisch, Türen nach Tanger ist anerkannt als eine literarische Schatz geschätzt sowohl von der Kritik, der akademischen Welt und dem Publikum. "TÜREN NACH TANGER ist nicht in erste Linie eine Kritik an der Marginalisierung der Sephardim in Israel, sondern eine Auseinandersetzung der marokkanischen Komponente der sephardischen Identität. Die Benzimra Wallfahrt nach Tanger, ist jedoch nicht darauf hindeutet, dass diese marokkanischen Komponente, die Essenz der sephardischen Identität ist. Benarroch folgt Khatibi zweisprachigen Paradigma, das darauf hindeutet, dass die Identität in der Kreuzung von Sprachen ausgedrückt ist.

U Turn to God: Destiny of the Soul

Is it God’s will for us to just accept death as a given and ask no further questions? Are we to be left dangling in the dark about these things; left to subsist in the ever-present fear of such unannounced uncertainty – to take death as it comes without so much as batting an eyelid? Or could the opposite be true? Could God’s intent actually be for the whole human family to acknowledge death in its proper light – for us all to arrive at a point where we fully understand that which we need to, and are completely satisfied not to speculate any further as to what lays beyond it? For surely this is the line in the sand every soul needs to come to; a defining point past which there is no reason to step – a time, a place, a state of mind, a spiritual standpoint at which we stop striving and finally find rest in the arms of God’s providence.

U Turn to Jesus

The unavoidable question!Life can be lived two ways.One way is to walk WITH God.The other way is to walk WITHOUT Him.Which way do YOU walk?‘U turn to Jesus’ is the nuts and bolts story of Bull, an ordinary bloke completely oblivious to both the question and the consequences of the choice.True BELONGING is all about being reconnected. It is an inborn need in all of us.Struggling to find a way out of his malaise and lost, like so many of us on the road to nowhere, this is a step by step account of how Bull came to recognise and understand that without changing direction, he would never find true belonging.Why?Because, put simply, without stopping and turning around, he would never know the ONE HE TRULY BELONGED TO.

U Turn to Our Father: A Change of Heart

Anxiety – a toxic fire which burns in the belly and fills the head with billowing plumes of stress. Never before has dread smeared itself across the minds of so many, and never before have so many yearned to be set free from its stench. U Turn to our Father draws upon the inerrancy of Scripture to show us all that to be constantly striving for a trouble-free mind through the blood, sweat, and tears of our own efforts, is in truth an act of futility. Our Father’s plan is not for us to struggle in vain to change our inner lives, but for both our inner and outer lives to be changed through the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the supernatural, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit. The primary place this change takes effect is within the heart – not the physical heart, but the spiritual heart. For out of it spring the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23 Bathed by the Holy Spirit, it is the spiritual heart which upholds the soul – nourishing, nurturing, sustaining, and supporting all aspects of our wellbeing. U Turn to our Father – a change of heart. Not just a possibility, but a guaranteed promise from the Giver of Life. Twelve short chapters await your eyes and ears. Only by reading them will you understand why you were meant to.

U Turn to the Holy Spirit: No More Fear

The last thing you offer a person dying from spiritual dehydration is a list of complicated directions to some mythical watering hole in another part of the world. A longwinded book of fiction this is not. The wellspring you seek is nearer than you think. If you’re gasping, dive in!

U-Turn: Restoring America to the Strength of its Roots

Restoring America to the Strength of its Roots The United States became a unique, prosperous, and admired nation because of its faith in God and the willingness of the people to abide by God’s standards and principles. Over time, however, the people’s urge to glorify self rather than God has seriously eroded the strength and potential of the nation. U-Turn examines current cultural trends and historical patterns to reveal that America cannot sustain its strength if it remains on its current path. Combining current research with the authors’ trademark insight and analysis, the book gives readers a unique view of the moral and spiritual condition of Americans and provides specific insights into how we can turn our nation around by focusing on: · The restoration of the family · The restoration of the Christian Church · The future activity of our government

U-Turn: What if You Woke Up One Morning and Realized You Were Living the Wrong Life?

Every day, in almost every field, someone perceives themselves to be on the wrong side of a psychic divide. The "second brain" in their gut tells them their life must change. Bruce Grierson draws on over 300 hundred stories of u-turners, including famous cases like Gandhi and Gauguin, as well as a host of other gripping tales of people who have risked everything to answer life's wake-up call: people who change political parties and careers, people who give up their jobs as doctors to become poets, men who become women, professional athletes who quit to spend more time with their families, mothers who quit their families to pursue careers, people who suddenly become revolutionaries for a cause they didn't care about the day before. Grierson examines the u-turn from all angles--philosophical, scientific, literary and psychological--beginning with premise that the wake-up call is the secular equivalent of the religious epiphany, the moment when a person is "born again." When does the wake-up call happen? Often in mid-life, but not always. Is it a good thing? Yes and no. Who does it happen to? Potentially any of us, under the right circumstance. Is America ready for a mass u-turn? Maybe. In chapters that address everything from the neuroscience behind epiphanies (the eureka moment) to the possibility of "forcing" a u-turn, Grierson describes and elucidates this powerful, mysterious phenomenon, and in doing so illuminates our continual struggles with life choices and identity.

U.S. War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation (Religion And Violence Ser.)

The military-industrial complex in the United States has grown exponentially in recent decades, yet the realities of war remain invisible to most Americans. The U.S has created a culture in which sacrificial rhetoric is the norm when dealing in war. This culture has been enabled because popular American Christian understandings of redemption rely so heavily on the sacrificial. 'U.S War-Culture, Sacrifice and Salvation' explores how the concept of Christian redemption has been manipulated to create a mentality of "necessary sacrifice". The study reveals the links between Christian notions of salvation and sacrifice and the aims of the military-industrial complex.

UFO Religions

But what motivates the fantastical and sometimes sinister beliefs of UFO worshippers?

UFO...Contact from the Pleiades (45th Anniversary Edition): Volumes I & II

In this forty-fifth anniversary edition, a humble, one-armed Swiss farmer named Billy Meier documents his date with destiny with hundreds of photos, videos, and written conversations with extraterrestrial visitors from the Pleiades star cluster. UFO…Contact from the Pleiades offers the inside story of one of the most remarkable and convincing extraterrestrial encounters ever reported.For the first time—forty-five years after their original publication—the two photo-journal volumes of UFO…Contact from the Pleiades are combined in one book for a modern audience, with a new foreword written by Shirley MacLaine, a prologue written by Mexican UFOlogist Jamie Maussan, and a new introduction and preface written by Brit Elders. This photo-journal presents the unique contact case of a Swiss farmer, Billy Meier, who claims to have met with the Pleiadians hundreds of times, compiling many layers of evidence including notes on their conversations, hundreds of photographs, movie footage, audio recordings of the craft, landing tracks of the spaceships, dozens of witnesses, and even metal samples of the craft itself. The quality and amount of evidence was convincing, making this unlike any case previously seen. UFO…Contact from the Pleiades takes the reader back to a time before home computers, digital photography, and easily accessible photo enhancement programs. Yet the evidence—analyzed in laboratories around the world—could not be easily dismissed, and supported the claims of the contactee, Billy Meier. The breathtaking images, profound words of the Pleiadians, and the extensive investigation that spanned seven years are as relevant today as they were forty-five years ago.

UFO: End-Time Delusion

The author of Prophecy 2000 shares his 39 years of research into the diabolical source of "flying saucers." Today our secularized society is so eager for quick, amazing answers. Will new hope arrive on these "chariots of the gods?" Psychics are channeling such exciting insights from alleged cosmic beings, detailing the "true" nature of God and alternate roads to salvation. Supermarket tabloids proclaim oddball messages from space. New Agers are captivated by the promise of alien cosmic enlightenment and higher intelligence from beyond the stars. So, what is really out there? Why are movies filled with wise aliens, Eastern mysticism, and New Age humanism such hits? Are we being set up for a new , false, extraterrestrial hope? Yet another alternative to the only true way - Jesus Christ?

UFOs in der Bibel: UFOs in der Bibel

Uralte Wahrheiten, die seit Tausenden von Jahren vor aller Augen verborgen sind. Im Jahr 1968 brach Erich von Däniken eine Tür auf, durch die Millionen von Neugierigen mit Verwunderung und möglicherweise auch etwas Fassungslosigkeit geschaut haben. Jetzt, auf den Schultern dieses Riesen stehend, wird die Tür von Ken Goudsward in dieser erstaunlichen neuen Untersuchung der Heiligen Schrift weit aufgestoßen, wobei er eine beispiellose hebräische Exegese nutzt, um nicht weniger als 30 außerirdische Begegnungen auf den Seiten des meistverkauften Buches aller Zeiten zu enthüllen. In einer Zeit des Scheidewegs zwischen Enthüllung und Verschwörung war die Bibel noch nie so relevant wie heute.

UFOs, Ghosts, And A Rising God: Debunking The Resurrection Of Jesus

At the dawn of the 21st century, interest in the origins of Christianity is as strong as ever. However, discussion tends to be dominated by Evangelicals who assume that the Bible is a historically accurate record, and those who would turn Jesus into a New Age guru. There is also a frequent insistence that the questions surrounding the origins of Christianity are beyond rational analysis. In UFOs, Ghosts, and a Rising God, Chris Hallquist examines what investigations of similar upstart cults have revealed, and then applies these revelations to the origins of the world's largest religion.

UN PORCELLINO D'INDIA PER COLAZIONE

Epilogo A volte mi guardo intorno e tutto quello che vedo è un bisogno enorme; tanti bambini che non vanno a scuola, malati e sofferenti, tante morti, incidenti e tragedie. La mia mente e il mio cuore non possono sopportare tutto. Non posso aiutarli tutti. Quello che posso fare è davvero poco. Ma posso fare la differenza per qualcuno, trovare uno sponsor al prossimo bambino, costruire una casa per la prossima famiglia, curare un’ulcera al prossimo paziente. Posso fare la differenza per loro. Per tutti non posso. Tutti noi possiamo aiutare le persone che attraversano il nostro cammino. E ogni persona la cui vita abbiamo il privilegio di toccare è un prezioso figlio di Dio. Anche se abbiamo solo un bicchiere d'acqua da dargli, Gesù sa che lo stiamo facendo per lui. Quindi continuiamo a farlo. Non dimentichiamolo. Non stanchiamoci di farlo. Continuiamo a venire per Lui che ci dona l'amore e la forza per andare avanti, per continuare ad amare, per continuare ad aiutare. Non so cosa troverò nella prossima curva. Non so cosa il domani mi porterà. Viviamo giorno dopo giorno, fidandoci di Dio per soddisfare le nostre esigenze mentre proseguiamo lungo il cammino. Ma so che sarà sempre con noi. Sono così grata per essere stata tanto fortunata. Ma so che i poveri sono sempre con noi. Mentre Dio mi concede la forza, continuerò a servirli come meglio posso. Unisciti a me per servirlo.
