A Cry for Justice: Overcome Anger, Reject Bitterness, and Trust in Jesus Who Will Fight For You

The forgotten face of Jesus as judge and advocate The daughter of American missionaries, Shelley Hundley was born in Colombia, and grew up on the campus of a seminary that trained leaders to serve in what was one of the most violent nations in the world. After suffering abuse at the hands of a minister in the community, she turns from God, angry and confused that He could allow this to happen. In A Cry for Justice, Hundley uses her story as a backdrop to show how she found healing from the pain, guilt, and shame of the abuse she endured as a child and how she came to know Jesus in a new way: as a righteous judge who fights for His people and takes upon Himself the burden of our injustices and pain. The story of Shelley Hundley’s journey from bitter atheist to wholehearted lover of God is unique. Yet what she learned on this journey is relevant to every person who has ever been hurt and has silently wondered, “Who will fight for me? Who can make the wrong things right?” Discover how Jesus would change your world today.

A Culpa é de Quem Sofre

by Dada Bhagwan

Gnani Purush Dadashri nos deu uma solução simples que é útil em todas as modalidades. Esta solução vem sob a forma de declaração: “A culpa é de quem sofre.” Quem está com o erro? É o ladrão ou é aquele que foi roubado? É culpa do ladrão ou de quem foi roubado? Quem está sofrendo entre os dois? A culpa é de quem sofre. O ladrão vai sofrer quando ele for capturado e punido, mas hoje aquele que está sofrendo é o culpado; ele está sendo punido por seu erro. Hoje ele está sofrendo por erros que cometeu em sua vida passada, então a quem ele pode culpar? A partir desta perspectiva, a outra pessoa é naturalmente livre de culpa. A ciência espiritual, por trás deste inestimável sutra de Dadashri, é descoberta neste pequeno livro. A aplicação desta verdade irá resolver todo o quebra-cabeças da vida diária.

A Culture of Happiness: How to Scale Up Happiness from People to Organizations

by Tho Ha Vinh

Practical principles for creating conditions for happiness at scale from the program director of the Gross National Happiness Center of Bhutan, the only country in the world to measure progress by the happiness of its citizens.Despite countless happiness programs focused on individual well-being, are we any happier, really? Is it in fact possible to be fully happy within a miserably dysfunctional society built to keep structures of inequity in place? Possible, perhaps, but not easy. While the pursuit of happiness is a much-celebrated ideal, how can countries and communities design the right environments for people to lead happy lives? Personal programs for happiness that include mindfulness, empathy, and gratitude are a good start, but without structural changes, they can only go so far. Taking the case of the country of Bhutan as an example, the nation's first Gross National Happiness program director Tho Ha Vinh explains how the principles of happiness can and must apply to people, families, and communities at scale to produce the conditions for a truly satisfying life. More and more people feel that we live in a time of transition and that our very survival on this planet depends on renewing the way we live together in society. Gross National Happiness is an innovative development paradigm that puts the interconnected happiness of all people and the well-being of all life forms at the center of progress. Based on real-life experiences, this book shows a multitude of practical methods for strategic thinkers and change makers to apply the framework of Gross National Happiness to bring about positive change in schools, businesses, and communities.
