by Betty J. EadieEl 19 de noviembre de 1973, como consecuencia de una histerectomía, Betty J. Eadie -31 años de edad, madre de siete hijos- falleció. Primero, se sintió flotar; después, atravesó un largo túnel y, al final de éste, la luz: una luz sobrenatural que la envolvía como si estuviera sumergida en medio de un líquido de extraordinaria textura. Veinte años después, Betty escribió su relato de aquella experiencia. El 19 de noviembre de 1973, como consecuencia de una histerectomía, Betty J. Eadie -31 años de edad, madre de siete hijos- falleció. Primero, se sintió flotar; después, atravesó un largo túnel y, al final de éste, la luz: una luz sobrenatural que la envolvía como si estuviera sumergida en medio de un líquido de extraordinaria textura. Betty tuvo la sensación de haber llegado finalmente a su hogar, un hogar en el que las únicas leyes serían el amor, la placidez, la exaltación absoluta de los sentidos y las potencias espirituales. En aquella morada de gloria Betty vivió momentos -indeterminados temporalmente- de la más completa y serena felicidad antes de regresar a su propio cuerpo, ya dado clínicamente por muerto, a la frialdad del hospital y al cariño, en otra dimensión, de su familia. Veinte años después, Betty escribió su relato de aquella experiencia. He visto la luz no ha sido sólo desde su aparición un éxito editorial sin precedentes; sobre todo, ha sido aceptado como testimonio válido por especialistas en el tema de la vida después de la muerte, como el doctor Melvin Morse, quien no ha dudado en calificarlo de auténtico "manual" de las experiencias de este tipo. Escrito con sencillez, pletórico de esperanza y alegría, He visto la luz es un manifiesto espiritual del que, seguramente, todos los lectores estarán en condiciones de sacar provecho. "He visto la luz contiene un gran secreto. Es un secreto que ya conocemos. Algo que los grandes profetas y líderes espirituales han intentado decirnos durante miles de años. Betty J. Eadie lo conoció en su trance de muerte. Este secreto tiene el poder de cambiar nuestras vidas." Del prólogo del doctor Melvin Morse

He Walks with Me: Enjoying the Abiding Presence of God
by Warren W. WiersbeDo you find yourself living in regret and fear more than in today's reality? God calls us to serve Him in the current moment rather than worry about the past or the future.In He Walks with Me, Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe explores the I AM statements of God--from His burning-bush conversation with Moses, to His powerful reassurances to the Israelites, to Jesus's startling claims to be the Light of the World, the Good Shepherd, and the True Vine. The more we understand the truths behind these words, the more free we are to enjoy God's presence right now. As Dr. Wiersbe writes, "My past may discourage me and my future may frighten me, but the life I now live today can be enriching and encouraging because Christ lives in me."

Head and Heart: Valour and Self-Sacrifice in the Art of India
by Mary StormAn extensive study of self-sacrificial images in Indian art, this book examines concepts such as head-offering, human sacrifice, blood, suicide, valour, self-immolation, and self-giving in the context of religion and politics to explore why these images were produced and how they became paradigms of heroism.
Head and Heart: American Christianities
by Garry WillsAn examination of Christianity's place in American life across the broad sweep of this country's history, from the Puritans to the presidential administration of George W. Bush. The struggle within American Christianity, Garry Wills argues, now and throughout our country's history, is between the head and the heart: between reason and emotion, Enlightenment and Evangelism. Why has this been so? How has the tension between the two poles played out, and with what consequences, over the past 400 years? How "Christian" is America, after all? Garry Wills brings a lifetime's worth of thought about these questions to bear on a magnificent historical reckoning that offers much needed perspective on some of the most contentious issues of our time. A religious revolution occurred in America in the 18th century, one that saw the emergence of an Enlightenment religious culture whose hallmarks were tolerance for other faiths and a belief that religion was a matter best divorced from political institutions--the proverbial "separation of church and state." Wills shows us just how incredibly radical a departure this separation was: there was simply no precedent for it. To put this leap in perspective, Wills provides a grounding in the pre-Enlightenment religion that preceded it, beginning with the early Puritans. He then provides a thrillingly clear unpacking of the steps, particularly Madison's and Jefferson's, by which church-state separation was enshrined in the Constitution, and reveals the great irony of the efforts of today's Religious Right to blur the lines between the two. In fact, it is precisely that separation that has allowed religion in America to flourish since the disestablishment of religion created a free market, as it were, and competition for souls led to the profusion of denominations across the length and breadth of the land. As Wills examines the key movements and personalities that have transformed America's religious landscape, we see again and again the same pattern emerge: a cooling of popular religious fervor followed by a grassroots explosion in evangelical activity, generally at a time of great social transformation and anxiety. But such forces inevitably go too far, provoking a backlash as is happening right now with the forces of Creationism and the anti-abortion fundamentalists. Garry Wills closes with a penetrating dissection of the Religious Right's current machinations and the threat they pose to the enlightened religion that has proved to be such a fertile and enduring force throughout American history. But in the end, Wills's abiding message is to be vigilant against the triumph of emotions over reason, but to know that the tension between the two is in fact necessary, inevitable, and unending.
Head, Eyes, Flesh, and Blood: Giving Away the Body in Indian Buddhist Literature
by Reiko OhnumaHead, Eyes, Flesh, and Blood is the first comprehensive study of a central narrative theme in premodern South Asian Buddhist literature: the Buddha's bodily self-sacrifice during his previous lives as a bodhisattva. Conducting close readings of stories from Sanskrit, Pali, Chinese, and Tibetan literature written between the third century B.C.E. and the late medieval period, Reiko Ohnuma argues that this theme has had a major impact on the development of Buddhist philosophy and culture. Whether he takes the form of king, prince, ascetic, elephant, hare, serpent, or god, the bodhisattva repeatedly gives his body or parts of his flesh to others. He leaps into fires, drowns himself in the ocean, rips out his tusks, gouges out his eyes, and lets mosquitoes drink from his blood, always out of selflessness and compassion and to achieve the highest state of Buddhahood. Ohnuma places these stories into a discrete subgenre of South Asian Buddhist literature and approaches them like case studies, analyzing their plots, characterizations, and rhetoric. She then relates the theme of the Buddha's bodily self-sacrifice to major conceptual discourses in the history of Buddhism and South Asian religions, such as the categories of the gift, the body (both ordinary and extraordinary), kingship, sacrifice, ritual offering, and death. Head, Eyes, Flesh, and Blood reveals a very sophisticated and influential perception of the body in South Asian Buddhist literature and highlights the way in which these stories have provided an important cultural resource for Buddhists. Combined with her rich and careful translations of classic texts, Ohnuma introduces a whole new understanding of a vital concept in Buddhists studies.

Head Game
by Tim DownsSomeone wants you dead. But he doesn't want to kill you . . . He wants you to do it for him. He watches your every move. He studies you like a mouse in a maze. He knows everything about you--every dream, hunger, weakness, and strength. What you long for and what you fear most. What you live for, and what you cannot live without. He plans to take those things away from you one at a time, invisibly manipulating the events of your life until there is nothing left to live for. Then he wants you to take the final step. Or is it all in your head? Is he just a figment of your irrational fear, a face you've given to your terrible misfortune? Everything you love is slipping away. You want to fight back but who, or what, do you fight against? Let the head game begin.
Head, Heart & Hands: Bringing Together Christian Thought, Passion and Action
by Dennis P. HollingerAs Christians, we are to love God with all of our being--heart, mind, soul and strength. But many of us tend to overemphasize one aspect or another, and as a result, our faith becomes imbalanced. Some of us have an intellectual faith but lack compassion or spiritual discipline. Others of us have a vibrant, heartfelt relationship with God but lack commitment to truth or doctrine. And many of us overlook translating our faith into service and ministry. In this book ethicist Dennis P. Hollinger presents a holistic, integrative vision for reuniting Christian thought, passion and action. He shows how individuals, churches and movements throughout history have focused on either the head, or the heart or the hands--often to the exclusion of other expressions. But by linking our intellect, emotions and actions, Hollinger points us toward a whole faith for the whole person, where each dimension feeds, nurtures and sustains the others.

Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground: A Survival Guide for Creatives, Visionaries, and Dreamers
by Ryan RomeoCo-founder of the Outcry Worship Tour, Ryan Romeo, empowers you to live well in the present as you dream well about the future in this practical guide to doing the impossible.When it comes to pursuing our dreams, Ryan Romeo is convinced of two things. First, God knows where you come from. He knows about your past. He knows about the seemingly impossible situation you may find yourself in. And yet, he is even more committed to seeing your dream come to life than you are.The other thing Ryan has learned is this: Your daily habits bring about the reality of your calling. What you do today matters even when it doesn't feel like it. Especially when it doesn't feel like it. How you treat your current job, your current boss, and those around you matters. How you serve your leader's vision or your church's vision? That matters too. So as you pursue your calling, don't forget to keep your head in the clouds. Never let the worries, the fears, the "what-ifs?" in your heart dampen God's unique call on your life. At the same time, you need to keep your feet on the ground - to stay engaged and connected right where you are, so you don't miss out on the foundation God wants to build.How do you do that? That's what Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground is all about. Looking at examples from his own life and from others who have followed big dreams, Ryan shares three practical and powerful ways to:Lay the groundwork that will strengthen the dreamer (you!) for the task ahead.Overthrow the dream killers that try to sideline you.Take the first steps!It's time to become a steward of your dream. Are you ready? Stand firm. And then look up.

Head Scratchers: When the Words of Jesus Don't Make Sense
