Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by Richard RohrIn the first half of life, we establish our identity--climbing, achieving, and performing. But as we grow older and begin to embark on a further journey, one that involves challenges, mistakes, loss of control, broader horizons, and necessary suffering that shocks us out of our prior comfort zone, we need to see ourselves in a different and more life-giving way. In Falling Upward, Father Richard Rohr offers a new paradigm for understanding one of the most profound of life's mysteries: how our failings can be the foundation for our ongoing spiritual growth.
Falling Upward, Revised and Updated: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life
by Richard RohrAn update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard Rohr In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation. Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of life Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering" Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.

False Images, Deadly Promises: Smoking and the Media
by Ann MalaspinaThough it's illegal to advertise tobacco products on television and Big Tobacco no longer sponsors major sporting events, it doesn't mean that cigarettes have been relegated to the back pages of little-read magazines.

The False White Gospel: Rejecting Christian Nationalism, Reclaiming True Faith, and Refounding Democracy
by Jim WallisNOW A NEW YORK TIMES AND A USA TODAY BESTSELLER"Everyone who claims to be 'Christian' or else claims to be upset by 'Christianity' needs to read this book, especially politicians using people's supposed faith for their own ends." —Margaret E. Atwood"Jim Wallis calls the nation to grow up and he calls us all to fight the love battle to save the soul of America." —From the Foreword by Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. A major new work by the New York Times bestselling author, arguing that the answer to bad religion is true faith that will help refound democracy It is time says Jim Wallis, to call out genuine faith—specifically the “Christian” in White Christian Nationalism—inviting all who can be persuaded to reject and help dismantle a false gospel that propagates white supremacy and autocracy. We need–to raise up the faith of all of us, and help those who are oblivious, stuck, and captive to the ideology and idolatry of White Christian Nationalism that is leading us to such great danger. Wallis turns our attention to six iconic texts at the heart of what genuine biblical faith means and what Jesus, in the gospels, has called us to do. It is time to ask anew: do we believe these teachings or not?This book isn’t only for Christians but for all faith traditions, and even those with no faith at all. When we see a civic promotion of fear, hate, and violence for the trajectory of our politics, we need a civic faith of love, healing, and hope to defeat it. And that must involve all of us–religious or not. Learning to practice a politics of neighbor love will be central to the future of democracy in America. And more than ever, the words of Jesus ring, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Fama, Fortuna y Ambición: ¿Cuál es el verdadero significado del éxito? (Life Essentials #Volumen)
by OshoFama, Fortuna y ambición es una obra en la que Osho medita, entre otros temas, sobre el dinero y el poder, dejando claro que no son negativos mientras esta abundancia material no sustituya a la espiritual o la haga a un lado, y que no es necesario desear con intensidad para obtener las cosas materiales o espirituales, pues se presentarán precisamente cuando menos las estemos esperando y después del esfuerzo personal necesario para lograrlo. La sociedad engendra la idea de la ambición, de ser poderoso, de ser rico. Es una sociedad completamente equivocada. Produce personas insanas, psicológicamente enfermas. Y cuando han alcanzado la meta que la sociedad y el sistema educativo les ha impuesto, se encuentran en un punto muerto. La carretera se acaba; más allá no hay nada. Así, o se convierten en falsas personas religiosas o saltan a la locura o al suicidio y se destruyen.

Familia adicta: Un padre y un hijo cuentan cómo es salir del infierno
by Mauro FedericoEsta es la historia de una adicción que pedía a gritos ser escuchada pero que nadie oyó. En estas páginas honestas y descarnadas, un padre narra cómo fue el proceso para dejar atrás la culpa y hacerse responsable; y el hijo, adicto, cómo fue el suyo desde que tocó fondo hasta que hizo su última rehabilitación. Este es un libro escrito a cuatro manos por un padre y un hijo. La historia es la misma, contada desde el lugar protagónico de ambos. Juntos cuentan cómo se reencontraron y aprendieron a vincularse. Cómo, a cuatro manos también, y con la inestimable ayuda de amigos y profesionales, reunieron los pedazos de una familia rota y volvieron a mirarse a los ojos con afecto y compasión. Mauro Federico es periodista de radio y televisión, y sus investigaciones sobre el narcotráfico fueron tema destacado en los medios. Mientras él se adentraba en ese mundo feroz y oscuro en busca de información, su hijo Ariel también lo hacía, pero desde el lado del dolor y la desprotección. Estas son páginas imprescindibles para comprender que no se sale solo de la dependencia de las drogas, y que si no hay familia dispuesta a superarlo, no hay adicto que se pueda recuperar.

The Familiar Stranger: (Re)Introducing the Holy Spirit to Those in Search of an Experiential Spirituality
by Tyler StatonChristians today are hungry for authentic spiritual experiences, yet all too often they don't have the knowledge of or relationship with the Holy Spirit that is the key to a fully alive spirituality. In The Familiar Stranger, pastor and author Tyler Staton draws on Scripture, tradition, and spiritual practices to help you step into a genuine relationship with the Holy Spirit.For a generation searching desperately for an experiential spirituality, there's good news: the Holy Spirit's indwelling presence to empower and transform is freely available. Unfortunately, confusion and unfamiliarity surround the Person of the Holy Spirit, leading too many Christians either to sideline him or misunderstand what he means for their spiritual lives.In The Familiar Stranger, Staton reintroduces this oft-neglected Person of the Trinity, tracing the story of the Holy Spirit as it unfolds throughout the Bible, and inviting believers to close the gap between what Scripture reveals about the Holy Spirit and their lived experience. Along the way, readers willdig into key biblical images and metaphors that reveal the Holy Spirit's nature, roles, and personality;learn about common misperceptions that keep believers and churches from experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit's power and presence;discover how the Spirit brings discernment and access to miraculous power to partner with God in the work he's doing in the world;reckon with the indispensable role of spiritual experience for walking with God; andunderstand how both Word and Spirit (too often separated in some church traditions) work together to draw people into a vibrant, intimate knowledge of God. The Familiar Stranger will challenge, inform, and encourage believers from every background to become more deeply acquainted with the Person and work of the Holy Spirit--and experience his transformative, life-giving power in their lives.

Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders Piece by Piece: A Practical Guide for Parents
by James Lock Aileen Whyte Brittany Matheson Nandini DattaThe book illustrates how parents who are participating in family-based treatment (FBT) for their child's eating disorder (ED) may enhance their chances of achieving optimal outcomes for their child by more successfully navigating the challenges that often impede progress in treatment and recovery.The stance of the book is transdiagnostic, so that the information provided spans all ED diagnoses including anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and atypical ED presentations as well as conditions that fall outside current diagnostic criteria. This book aims to help parents identify how they can make the most out of FBT therapy no matter which ED symptoms their child experiences. Case vignettes across the diagnostic and clinical spectrum are used liberally throughout the book, not only to illustrate examples of some of the specific challenges families face, but to help parents normalize the emotions they may feel around their experience of trying to help their child and around their experience of participating in the FBT intervention itself. A respectful and supportive tone makes this resource accessible and jargon-free for parents, and provides useful information and approaches for psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and allied health practitioners who deliver FBT to young people and families.
