América no es libre: Lo que su gobierno no quiere que sepan
by Mike DonovanAmérica no es libre representa un llamado ferviente a los americanos que aman la libertad a fin de recuperar nuestras libertades constitucionales y escapar de lo que él define como «nuestra relación abusiva con el gobierno». El innovador trabajo de Mike Donovan a favor de las libertades personales lo ha convertido en un objeto de fascinación tanto para la derecha como la izquierda.En este revelador libro, Mike Donovan, CEO de Nexus Services, planta cara a las élites políticas de ambos partidos, que ejercen el poder en nuestro país, no solo a nivel federal, sino de todos los estados, condados, ciudades y pueblos. América no es libre representa un llamado ferviente a los americanos que aman la libertad a fin de recuperar nuestras libertades constitucionales y escapar de lo que él define como «nuestra relación abusiva con el gobierno». Donovan detalla cómo esta «trituración integral de la Carta de Derechos» comenzó mucho antes de la presente crisis de la COVID-19 y las manifestaciones y violencia desatadas tras el asesinato de George Floyd. América no es libre nos muestra que las fuerzas de nuestros gobiernos locales, estatales y federal aprovecharon estos eventos, pero llevaban décadas atropellando sistemáticamente nuestros derechos. Mike nos recuerda que es Dios quien concede estos derechos, y que la Constitución, la Carta de Derechos y la Decimocuarta Enmienda los garantizan. Mike pastorea actualmente la Primera Iglesia Cristiana Universalista de Harrisonburg, Virginia, pero no se parece en nada al típico clérigo tranquilo y campestre: es un guerrero feroz con el espíritu de Dios y la piel gruesa de un legislador que ha dedicado su vida a proteger la libertad, preservar los derechos individuales, servir a los necesitados y ministrar a los olvidados de nuestra fallida sociedad. De hecho, varios aspectos de su pasado y presente lo convierten en un blanco fácil para juzgarlo desde todas direcciones. Pero Mike Donovan no esconde nada, sino que abraza abiertamente los errores de su pasado y dedica su presente a crear un futuro que ayuda a los demás a superar los infortunios de su pasado. Nacido en una familia pobre en el condado de Page, Virginia, a temprana edad fue condenado por emitir cheques sin fondos, lo que le acarreó múltiples delitos graves por los que pasó siete meses en la cárcel del condado. El tiempo encerrado, lejos de hundirlo, lo convirtió en el hombre que es hoy: un hombre de ley y un hombre de Dios que cree de todo corazón y con toda el alma en la posibilidad de redención y el poder de resarcirse de los errores del pasado. También terminó esa experiencia sabiendo que necesitaba marcar la diferencia para otras personas que se encontraban donde él había estado. Obras son amores y no buenas razones, por eso Mike Donovan sigue los pasos del Jesús que dijo: «Estuve en la cárcel y me visitasteis … En cuanto lo hicisteis a estos, a mí lo hicisteis». América no es libre muestra cómo hacer todo eso por América y por nuestros hijos. El libro finaliza con una promesa de preservar la libertad americana a modo de compromiso para que los lectores declaren que solo votarán a los legisladores que estén dispuestos a proteger los derechos y libertades garantizados por la Carta de Derechos y la Decimocuarta Enmienda.

Amulets in Magical Practice (Elements in Magic)
by Jay JohnstonThis Element takes as its remit the production and use of amulets. The focus will be on amulets with no, or minimal, textual content like those comprising found stone, semi-precious gem and/or animal body parts. That is a material form that is unaccompanied by directive textual inscription. The analysis considers this materiality to understand its context of use including ritual and metaphysical operations. Through discussion of selected case studies from British, Celtic, and Scandinavian cultures, it demonstrates the associative range of meaning that enabled the attribution of power/agency to the amuletic object Uniquely, it will consider this material culture from an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing together insights from the disciplines of cultural studies, religious studies, 'folk' studies, archaeology and Scandinavian studies. It develops the concept of 'trans-aniconism' to encapsulates an amulet's temporal relations and develops the proposition of 'landscape amulets.'

Amsterdam's Sephardic Merchants and the Atlantic Sugar Trade in the Seventeenth Century
by Yda SchreuderThis book surveys the role of Amsterdam’s Sephardic merchants in the westward expansion of sugar production and trade in the seventeenth-century Atlantic. It offers an historical-geographic perspective, linking Amsterdam as an emerging staple market to a network of merchants of the “Portuguese Nation,” conducting trade from the Iberian Peninsula and Brazil. Examining the “Myth of the Dutch,” the “Sephardic Moment,” and the impact of the British Navigation Acts, Yda Schreuder focuses attention on Barbados and Jamaica and demonstrates how Amsterdam remained Europe’s primary sugar refining center through most of the seventeenth century and how Sephardic merchants played a significant role in sustaining the sugar trade.
Amplio y profundo: Edificando iglesias de las que todos quisieran ser parte
by Andy StanleySi tu equipo está más preocupado por las personas que ALCANZA, que por las que CONSERVA, Amplio y profundo será para ustedes un recurso que consultarán una y otra vez. Con una sinceridad y una transparencia sorprendentes, Andy Stanley explica cómo una de las iglesias más grandes de los Estados Unidos comenzó con un divorcio famoso y la división de una iglesia.

Conoce las metas y el funcionamiento de North Point Community Church, en Alpharetta, Georgia.

El autor presenta en detalle el modelo de formación espiritual de North Point: los cinco Catalizadores de la Fe. Los líderes responsables de programar los cultos sentirán gran interés en lo que él llama «los tres ingredientes esenciales para crear un ambiente irresistible». Entendiendo como nadie por experiencia propia la situación de las iglesias que quieran hacer la transición hacia un modelo más aproximado al suyo, Andy Stanley explica en detalle la manera de realizar esta transición. Más que un libro, Amplio y profundo es un atractivo manual de fácil y agradable lectura nacido de la experiencia y la labor en equipo guiada por el Espíritu Santo, que pondrá a pensar y actuar a todo pastor o líder de ministerio que necesite un nuevo enfoque de las Escrituras y de la vida de las iglesias para hacer la parte que le corresponde en la Gran Comisión de Cristo.

Amplify Your Message: Spreading the Gospel and Growing Your Church Through Radio
by Marcus BrownAnd (Jesus) said to them, 'Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to the whole creation.' Mark 16:15 (ESV) The need for proclaiming the Good News to the world has never been greater. Recent statistics reveal that 63% of Americans go to church less than once a month, and almost half of that group never set foot inside a church. That puts us in a dilemma. If those in need of the message of salvation through Jesus Christ aren’t coming to our churches, how do we reach them? How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? Romans 10:14-15 (ESV) Salem Media Group has an answer: Radio. Nielsen Media Research—the world’s leader in media data—has found “traditional AM/FM terrestrial radio still retains its undiminished appeal for listeners; 91% of Americans, aged 12 and older, listen to this form of radio.” When radio is amplified with new technology, its reach is powerful. When matched with biblical preaching and teaching, God’s Kingdom expands. Not only are the lost led to salvation, they are drawn to your church, putting them where they need to be to become disciples. This book details how a local Salem Media radio platform can partner with your church to fulfill the Great Commission and grow your ministry. From the “why” to the “how,” we give you everything you need to prayerfully consider this opportunity to pierce the darkness in your community with the Light of the World.
