Café con Salmos: Volumen 1 (Café con Salmos #1)
by Danilo H. GomesTodos los Días son Días de Tomar un Buen Café Con Salmos Vivimos en un mundo caótico. La desorganización y el conflicto son elementos visibles en todos lados. No sé si lo que voy a escribir más adelante les sirve de consuelo, pero la realidad es que el mundo es así desde ese fatídico día en que Adán comió el fruto prohibido. Partiendo de esta verdad es más fácil de entender porque tantas personas son consoladas al leer las Escrituras Sagradas. Este maravilloso libro - la Biblia - fue escrito por hombres completamente inspirados por Dios, pero que experimentan un sinnúmero de problemas de esa vida terrena. Se trata de un manual de la vida escrito por pecadores y para pecadores, pero inspirado por el Espíritu Santo. Es por ese motivo que tenemos, por ejemplo, un libro tan fascinante como los Salmos. Esta obra maestra trae capítulos que retratan desde el dolor más profundo del alma hasta la alegría plena de la salvación. El Señor permitió que los salmistas expresaran en palabras todo el dolor que el alma humana es capaz de soportar y, a la vez, la esperanza que solo tienen quienes conocen al Creador del universo. Son páginas y más páginas llenas de sentimiento, fe, humillación, reflexión, alabanza y amor a Dios. Es justamente basado en ese libro bíblico poético que la obra Café Con Salmos fue proyectada. En las siguientes páginas encontrarás 30 capítulos representando los 30 días de un mes. Cada capítulo contiene un versículo para meditación, una reflexión escrita por el autor y una oración. Utilice cada capítulo como una reflexión devocional para su edificación espiritual. Deje que el Espíritu Santo lo (a) guíe por reflexiones mucho más profundas de las que los próximos párrafos serán capaces de despertar. Recuerda: la Palabra del Señor jamás vuelve vacía. Lo mismo pasa a mi palabra: yo [el Señor] la envío, y ella siempre produce frutos. Ella hará lo

HE WAS THEIR DEADLIEST KILLER The late Roth Tiberius Cain, legendary CIA hit man, is gone, but not forgotten.

NOW HE IS THEIR GREATEST NIGHTMARE Grotesquely transformed, Cain has become the ultimate predator: a killing machine with the soul of a devil. And the only force that can stop him is a trio of flawed people: a soldier who lost his family and his soul to a terrorist&’s bullets, a priest who has lost his faith to the power of sin, and the beautiful scientist who created Cain and then lost control of him. Now, in a ten-day countdown to Armageddon, all they have left to lose is the survival of the human race.

Cain v. Abel: A Jewish Courtroom Drama
by Rabbi Dan OrnsteinEnter the packed courtroom and take your seat as a juror on the Cain v. Abel trial. Soon, the prosecution and defense attorneys (angels from Jewish legend) will call Cain, Abel, Sin, Adam, Eve, and God to the witness stand to present their perspectives on the world&’s first murder. Great Jewish commentators throughout the ages will also offer contradictory testimony on Cain&’s emotional, societal, and spiritual influences. As jurors, when we mete out Cain&’s punishment, must we factor in his family history, psychological makeup, and the human impulse to sin? In this highly eclectic and gripping compilation of insights by Jewish commentators on the Cain and Abel story, courtroom scenes are juxtaposed with the author&’s commentary, advancing novel insights and introspection. As each of us grapples with Cain&’s actions, we confront our own darkest traits. If Cain is a symbol for all humanity, what can we do to avoid becoming like him? Furthering this conversation, Rabbi Dan Ornstein includes a discussion and activity guide to promote open dialogue about human brokenness and healing, personal impulses, and societal responsibility.
Cain's Redemption: A Story of Hope and Transformation in America's Bloodiest Prison
by Dennis ShereFormerly known as America's bloodiest prison, the 18,000 acres that comprise Louisiana's Angola State Penitentiary are now home to 5,000 inmates, a full range of seasonal crops, a 9-hole golf course, yearly rodeos, a Bible seminary, a museum, and much more. All of this came into being at the behest of Warden Burl Cain, who is now the longest-standing warden in the history of Angola prison. Under his leadership, the inmate population of 5,000 has gone from regular knife fights to Bible studies. Cain is a strong believer in the ability of the gospel to turn the most incorrigible of sinners into productive, moral citizens. Because eight out of ten prisoners are serving life sentences without parole at Angola, Cain has taken upon himself the task of making the lives of these prisoners productive and educational. Through a partnership with New Orleans Baptist Seminary, prisoners have the opportunity to get a bible degree and even be transferred to other prisons as a missionary. The Angola phenomenon has been covered by such media outlets as: Time Magazine, Christianity Today, and in the award-winning film documentary, The Farm: Angola, USA. Author Dennis Shere combines his background in journalism and law to bring readers this account of redemption and life change in the most unlikely of places: a maximum security prison.

Cain, Abel, and the Politics of God: An Agambenian reading of Genesis 4:1-16 (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Biblical Criticism)
by Julián Andrés González HolguínThe Genesis story of Cain’s murder of Abel is often told as a simplistic contrast between the innocence of Abel and the evil of Cain. This book subverts that reading of the Biblical text by utilising Giorgio Agamben’s concepts of homo sacer, the state of exception and the idea of sovereignty to re-examine this well-known tale of fratricide and bring to the fore its political implications. <P><P>Drawing from political theory, philosophy, and psychoanalysis, this book creates a theoretical framework from which to do two things: firstly, to describe and analyse the history of interpretation of Genesis 4:1-16, and secondly to propose an alternative reading of the Biblical text that incorporates other texts inside and outside of the Biblical canon. This intertextual analysis will highlight the motives of violence, law, divine rule, and the rejected as they emerge in different contexts and will evaluate them in an Agambenian framework. <P><P>The unique approach of this book makes it vital reading for any academic with interests in Biblical Studies and Theology and their interactions with politics and ethics.
Caitanya Vaisnava Philosophy: Tradition, Reason and Devotion
by Ravi M. GuptaIn the sixteenth century, the saint and scholar Sri Caitanya set in motion a wave of devotion to Krishna that began in eastern India and has now found its way around the world. Caitanya taught that the highest aim of life is to develop selfless love for God Krishna, the blue-hued cowherd boy who spoke the Bhagavad Gita. Although only a handful of poetry is attributed to Caitanya, his devotional theology was expounded and systematized by his followers in a vast array of poetical, philosophical, and ritual literature. This book provides a thematic study of Caitanya Vaishnava philosophy, introducing key thinkers and ideas in the early tradition, using Sanskrit and Bengali sources that have seldom been studied in English. The book addresses major areas of the tradition, including epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, ethics, and history, and every chapter includes relevant readings from primary sources.

Cal: A Novel (Akal Literaria Ser. #Vol. 30)
by Bernard MacLaverty"Bernard MacLaverty’s powerful novel is a love story as affecting and tragic as you could want." —USA TodayWhen it was first published, Bernard MacLaverty’s masterpiece was hailed by Michael Gorra in the New York Times Book Review as "a marvel of technical perfection…a most moving novel whose emotional impact is grounded in a complete avoidance of sentimentality…[It] will become the Passage to India of the Troubles.” For Cal, a Northern Irish teenager who, against his will, is involved in the terrible war between Catholics and Protestants, some of the choices are devastatingly simple: he can work in the slaughterhouse that nauseates him or join the dole line; he can brood on his past or plan a future with the beautiful, widowed Marcella for whose grief he shares more than a little responsibility.

Calendar: Christ's Time for the Church
by Laurence Hull StookeyA probing but clearly written book, Calendar will find an appreciative audience beyond academia and clergy to the laity of the church: choirs and their directors, worship planners, adult study groups, and others who want to understand better the church's times of preparation and celebration. Calendar centers largely on theological meaning and parish practice in relation to liturgical time. Deliberately, almost no attention is given to detailed historical development, much of which is exceedingly complex in its origins and technical in its detail. An appendix entitled "Forgetting What You Were Always Taught (Or, This Book in a Nutshell)" aptly describes the radical reordering that Stookey believes occurs when our understanding of time and the story of Jesus takes its bearings from the Incarnation. So, just as the Christian week begins with Sunday, the day of Resurrection, Stookey follows the Christian year beginning with the season of Easter, and only then Lent; Christmas, then Advent. Illuminating discussions of Ordinary and Extraordinary Time, and the Sanctoral Cycle follow.
