Rendezvous with a Monk
by Jayant MukherjeeWhat is the meaning of our life? What is the relevance of Swami Vivekananda and his teaching's in today’s fast-paced world? Are religion and spirituality the same? When Deepak and Dipali arrive in Dehradun to meet their childhood friend Jayant, they bring with them a monk. His addition in the mix ensures a rather unusual route of conversation on spirituality. Stories that are both thought-provoking and interesting emerge from the perspective of ancient Indian ethos rather than philosophy or theism. When Jayant reveals that he is, in fact, currently writing a book on Swami Vivekananda, the discussion turns deeper with relevant questions on the meaning (of life), vision, work, organization, leader as mentor, and reality. The protagonists navigate their way through the tributaries of humanism, philosophy, religion, and management and try to find answers to questions that Vivekananda himself grappled with. Written in an easy conversational manner, you will be extolled on not taking anything at face value but to choose your own path of truth. This book leaves you with a feeling of optimism and self-belief.
Renegade Grief: A Guide to the Wild Ride of Life after Loss
by Carla FernandezFrom grief quests to altar-making, to dinner parties to Dungeons & Dragons, Renegade Grief is a profound and vulnerable exploration of care practices and rituals that empower grievers in a culture that expects us to simply &“give it time.&”So, you&’ve lost someone. At first, there is an outpour of support and phone calls and care packages. But after the services are done and the phone stops ringing, there is a quiet in the air and an expectation to get on with your life as previously planned. The problem is that death has a way of making all plans go out the window. Renegade Grief offers the support in this next stage of grieving—when you feel isolated in your loss and are figuring out how to navigate it.Shaped by her own experience with the death of her father and her time cofounding The Dinner Party, a leading peer-support organization for people who&’ve experienced a major loss, Carla Fernandez pushes back on the death-denying culture we live in. For too long, grief has been treated as something pitiable, simply sad, to be gotten over as soon as possible. But after fifteen years of being in a community with fellow grievers, Carla has witnessed a different side of the story. Grieving a significant loss is hardcore, hardly something to be swept under the rug, but an experience to be held with respect, a creative spirit, and with friends. Through inspiring stories of real grievers, patterns from across history, and fresh science, Renegade Grief enlivens you with the permission and possibility to explore your grief in your own unique way and reminds you that you&’re not alone in doing it. Renegade Grief is an indispensable resource for people at any stage of the grieving process and with Carla&’s candid and compassionate guidance, you learn that life after loss isn&’t about the futile attempt of arriving at some other side. Rather, it&’s about building your community, adjusting to change, and finding the way for your grief to become a pathway into your own version of a soulful life.

by Miguel NúñezComo creyentes, queremos vivir lo que creemos, pero ¿qué se nos hace tan difícil lograrlo? En Renueva tu mente, el pastor Miguel Núñez nos da el secreto de vivir en medio de la voluntad de Dios y gozar de la plenitud de vida de la cual Cristo nos habló.¿Por qué existe la dicotomía entre lo que el cristiano profesa cuando está en la iglesia y la manera cómo vive el resto de la semana? Porque en realidad, no es lo que profesamos lo que determina cómo vivimos, sino es la manera en que pensamos lo que determina la manera en que vivimos. La pregunta que surge de inmediato es: «¿Cómo lo hago?», «¿Cómo cambiar lo que pienso y vivir lo que creo?». En Renueva tu mente, el pastor Miguel Núñez explica cómo es posible renovar tu mente y lograr una perspectiva bíblica del mundo y de la vida.Renueva tu mente empieza con conceptos fundamentales de la importancia de tener una propia cosmovisión y entendimiento básico de la apologética o cómo defender tu fe.La segunda sección del libro nos presenta preguntas fundamentales que todo creyente debe saber responder:¿De dónde vengo?¿Para qué estoy aquí?¿Quién soy?¿Qué es bueno y qué es malo?¿Creó Dios el mal?¿Para dónde voy?El libro concluye con aplicaciones fundamentales de cómo vivir para tener el máximo impacto en el mundo.El pastor Miguel Núñez te invita a leer con atención este libro, pero al mismo tiempo, quiere desafiarte a que te dejes examinar por las verdades bíblicas que leerás.

The question that immediately arises is &“How do I do it?&”, &“How do I change what I think and live what I believe?&” In Renew Your Mind, Pastor Miguel Núñez explains how it is possible to renew your mind and gain a biblical perspective on the world and life.Renew Your Mind begins with fundamental concepts of the importance of having your own basic worldview and understanding of apologetics or how to defend your faith.The second section of the book presents us with fundamental questions that every believer must know how to answer:Where do I come from?What am I here for?Who am I?What is good and what is bad?Did God create evil?Where am I going?

Resenting God: Escape the Downward Spiral of Blame
by John I. SnyderIn our current social climate of growing distrust and escalation of hatred and personal losses, resentment and anger are on the rise. Resenting God offers the time-tested exit route from the lethal clutches of bitterness into a life of joyful faith and hope in a loving and gracious God. It exposes how resentment and disillusionment, leading inevitably to other destructive emotions, is a great deluder and is itself often based upon a great delusion—resentment against the Creator himself. We are blamers, and we blame God for life’s most painful and depressing experiences. We’ve all been there or are there. It can strike any person, anytime, anywhere. If we let down our guard and begin to give in to it, we’ll be pulled into a powerful downward spiral that we can’t escape by our own strength. We find ourselves asking: How can I forgive when the pain is so great? Does forgiving mean I have to forget the past? What if I choose not to forgive? Snyder discusses the causes and consequences of resentment, and the cures for resentment against God. Ultimately, the way out comes in knowing who God is and realizing that far from abandoning us in our hard times, he is the one who rescues us.
Resentment's Virtue: Jean Amery and the Refusal to Forgive
by Thomas BrudholmMost current talk of forgiveness and reconciliation in the aftermath of collective violence proceeds from an assumption that forgiveness is always superior to resentment and refusal to forgive. Victims who demonstrate a willingness to forgive are often celebrated as virtuous moral models, while those who refuse to forgive are frequently seen as suffering from a pathology. Resentment is viewed as a negative state, held by victims who are not "ready" or "capable" of forgiving and healing. Resentment's Virtue offers a new, more nuanced view. Building on the writings of Holocaust survivor Jean Améry and the work of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Thomas Brudholm argues that the preservation of resentment can be the reflex of a moral protest that might be as permissible, humane or honorable as the willingness to forgive. Taking into account the experiences of victims, the findings of truth commissions, and studies of mass atrocities, Brudholm seeks to enrich the philosophical understanding of resentment.
