Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World Study Guide: Finding Intimacy with God in the Busyness of Life
by Joanna WeaverThey were two of Jesus's closest friends. Each had something to offer Him. But one offered "the better part." In Joanna Weaver's signature book, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World, she explores how each of us has some "Mary" and some "Martha" within. The "Mary" in us wants to leave the dishes and sit at Jesus's feet, while the "Martha" in us wants to attend to the multiple tasks around us. How do we blend intimacy with Jesus and service for Him in the midst of our busy, hectic lives? In this ten-session DVD companion participant's guide, Joanna reminds us that Jesus extends to us the same invitation He gave these sisters of Bethany: Come to Me. As we discover the best of both the "Mary" and the "Martha" parts of our lives, we will deepen our devotion to God and learn to delight in sitting at His feet. Designed for individuals and groups.

by Joanna WeaverWith nearly a million copies sold, Joanna Weaver's popular book shows women how to blend intimacy with Jesus and service for Him. An invitation for every woman who feels she isn't godly enough...isn't loving enough...isn't doing enough.

Then comes Jesus, right into the midst of your busy Mary/Martha life-and he extends the same invitation he issued long ago to the two sisters of Bethany.

I have been involved in body work for many years and have had hundreds of body work sessions internationally. What makes Wayne's sessions so profound is the depth he takes me to and the magic that gets evoked for weeks after my sessions.

The core relationship between the soul and the practitioner is the maturing process. When that happens; the healing that follows is immortal. The place we hold for lomilomi is far reaching, so many practitioners have far moved past the certificates on their wall and into their own expression. In that expression is the non-franchised, authentic relationship between soul and person, carrying the healing that is known as lomilomi. And Wayne and Patti's effort in this book speaks to all lineages in a single voice."—Harry Uhane Jim, Kahuna, healer, teacher, and author of Wise Secrets of Aloha"Many are the techniques for revitalizing and relaxing the body temple, but there is only one that delivers the results of Wayne's Lomilomi techniques.

Hay mucho más sobre El secreto: Un examen al libro de gran éxito de Rhonda Byrne, El secreto
by Ed GungorLa ley de la atracción sostiene que uno puede gozar de buena salud, riquezas o cualquier relación deseada si se entrena a la mente a producir pensamientos continuos que la atraigan a su vida. Aunque hay algo de cierto en el hecho de que tendemos a convertirnos en lo que pensamos (el apóstol Pablo nos enseñó eso), la representación que hace la filosofía de la nueva era de mostrar al "individuo como Dios" es una posición peligrosa de sostener.En este libro que acompaña al revuelo causado en los medios de comunicación, Ed Gungor trata de establecer una representación más completa y precisa del poder de la mente explicando el papel obvio que desempeña Dios en la ecuación. Este libro no está escrito para atacar a publicaciones recientes sino para corregir su consejo equivocado y a la vez dirigirse a la gran necesidad que está causando que millones de personas estén explorando sus páginas.
Hayim Nahman Bialik: Poet of Hebrew (Jewish Lives)
by Prof. Avner HoltzmanA moving inquiry into the dramatic life, epic success, and ultimate tragedy of the great Hebrew poet By the time he was twenty-eight, Hayim Nahman Bialik was already considered the National Hebrew Poet.

When he died unexpectedly in 1934, the outpouring of grief was unprecedented, confirming him as a father figure for the Zionist movement in Palestine, and around the world. Using extensive research and elegant readings of Bialik's poems, Avner Holtzman investigates the poet's dramatic life, complex personality, beloved verse, and continued popularity. This clear-eyed and thorough biography explores how Bialik overcame intense personal struggles to become a charismatic literary leader at the core of modern Hebrew culture.
