Cómo liderar en un mundo de distracción: Cuatro hábitos sencillos para disminuir el ruido
by Clay Scroggins"Líder, tu mayor obstáculo y la mejor oportunidad de crecer son uno y el mismo: usar hábitos poderosos para reducir el ruido y aprovechar la honestidad emocional". En este libro luego de su éxito de ventas Cómo liderar cuando no está a cargo, el pastor Clay Scroggins ayuda a los líderes a dar el siguiente paso en el crecimiento del liderazgo mediante el desarrollo de la conciencia emocional. Estamos rodeados de "ruido blanco", dice Scroggins, una herramienta para enmascarar el alma que nos impide escuchar las voces que realmente necesitamos escuchar. Y mientras que muchos líderes han aprendido cómo desconectar las distracciones que les impiden ser productivos, permanecen sordos a los deseos y emociones internas que se agitan debajo de la superficie. La salud emocional implica poder identificar y comprender nuestras emociones, y requiere algunas prácticas contraculturales. En cuanto a las disciplinas espirituales de ayuno, meditación, observancia del sábado, oración y hospitalidad, Scroggins ayuda a los líderes a crear un espacio para la evaluación emocional y la exploración. A través de las prácticas descritas en este libro, los líderes desenmascararán las emociones desagradables robándoles su fortaleza, y aprenderán a prestar mucha atención a los deseos internos. El resultado es que los líderes, tanto de negocios, iglesia y ministerio estarán facultados para reemplazar el caos en sus vidas cada vez más ocupadas con una competencia emocional y una conciencia que conducen a una vida más tranquila, menos estresada y más satisfactoria que nunca.

Compassionate Counterterrorism: The Power of Inclusion In Fighting Fundamentalism
by Leena Al OlaimyFrom purchasing pay-per-view pornography to smoking pot, many so-called Muslim terrorists prove by their actions that they aren't motivated by devotion to religion, Leena Al Olaimy argues. So why do they really turn to violence, and what does that tell us about the most effective way to combat terrorism? Al Olaimy sets the stage by providing a quick, thoughtful grounding in the birth of Islam in a barbaric Game of Thrones–like seventh-century Arabia, the evolution of fundamentalist thought, and the political failures of the postcolonial period. She shows that terrorists are motivated by economic exclusion, lack of opportunity, social marginalization, and political discrimination. This is why using force to counter terrorism is ineffective—it exacerbates the symptoms without treating the cause. Moreover, data shows that military interventions led to the demise of only 12 percent of religious terrorist groups.Combining compelling data with anecdotal evidence, Al Olaimy sheds light on unorthodox and counterintuitive strategies to address social woes that groups like ISIS exploit. For example, she describes how Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, has decreased terrorism while paradoxically becoming more overtly religious. Or how Mechelen, the city with Belgium's largest Muslim population, adopted integration policies so effective that not one of its 20,000 Muslims left to join ISIS. Using religion, neuroscience, farming, and even love, this book offers many inspiring examples and—for once—an optimistic outlook on how we can not just fight but prevent terrorism.

Con tu consejo. De Cristo en adelante
by Enrique Torres&“Dios me ha dado 4 roles ministeriales en estos años muy claros y marcados: evangelista, ministrar a hombres, pastor y consejero. Fui bendecido al ser formado en un compañerismo en donde me consolidaron la importancia de predicar la Palabra desde el púlpito, pero veía en mi formación y realidad del ministerio un déficit en el aconsejar con la Palabra abajo del púlpito, en hablar la verdad en amor y acompañar a una persona durante su proceso y servirle en ver y experimentar lo que Dios tenía para ellos. Es por eso que cuando Luis Méndez me invitó a que le acompañara a una conferencia de Steve Viars, de repente le puso nombre y apellido a cosas que en mi alma sabía que necesitaba, para servir a Dios. Años después Deepak Reju con la humilde gracia que le caracteriza me desafiaría a empezar a escribir recursos de hispanos, para hispanos. Dios me bendijo con hombres (pastores y consejeros) que han estimulado esto que hoy tienes en tus manos y con quienes estoy profundamente agradecido.Y es que la realidad es que todos somos consejeros, la única pregunta a resolver es si eres bíblico o no. El primero permanecerá y dará fruto, el otro se lo llevará el viento y terminará en la ruina&”.
The Concept of Culture: A History and Reappraisal
by Martyn HammersleyWhile the term ‘culture’ has come to be very widely used in both popular and academic discourse, it has a variety of meanings, and the differences among these have not been given sufficient attention. This book explores these meanings, and identifies some of the problems associated with them, as well as examining the role that values should play in cultural analysis. The development of four, very different, conceptions of culture is traced from the nineteenth century onwards: a notion of aesthetic cultivation associated with Matthew Arnold; the evolutionary view of culture characteristic of nineteenth-century anthropology; the idea of diverse cultures characteristic of twentieth and twenty-first century anthropology; and a conception of culture as a process of situated meaning-making – found today across anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. These conceptions of culture are interrogated, and a reformulation of the concept is sketched. This book will be of interest to students and scholars across a variety of fields, including anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and education.
The Conceptualization of Guardianship in Iranian Intellectual History: Reading Ibn ʿArabī’s Theory of Wilāya in the Shīʿa World (Palgrave Series in Islamic Theology, Law, and History)
by Leila ChamankhahThis book is a study of the concept of wilāya and its developments among Shīʿī scholars from the eighteenth to twentieth century. Leila Chamankhah addresses a number of issues by delving into the conceptualizations of wilāya through the examination and interpretation of key texts. She focuses on the influence of ibn ʿArabī’s mysticism, with regard to the conception of wilāya, on his Shīʿa successors and expositors in later centuries. She also discusses the development and transformation of the conception of wilāya over two hundred years, from the esoteric school of Shaykhīsm to the politicization of wilāya in the theory of wilāyat al-faqīh.
A Concise History of Ancient Israel: From the Beginnings Through the Hellenistic Era (Critical Studies in the Hebrew Bible #11)
by Bernd U. SchipperThe history of biblical Israel, as it is told in the Hebrew Bible, differs substantially from the history of ancient Israel as it can be reconstructed using ancient Near Eastern texts and archaeological evidence. In A Concise History of Ancient Israel, Bernd U. Schipper uses this evidence to present a critical revision of the history of Israel and Judah from the late second millennium BCE to the beginning of the Roman period. Considering archaeological material as well as biblical and extrabiblical texts, Schipper argues that the history of "Israel" in the preexilic period took place mostly in the hinterland of the Levant and should be understood in the context of the Neo-Assyrian expansion. He demonstrates that events in the exilic and postexilic periods also played out differently than they are recounted in the biblical books of Ezra and Nehemiah. In contrast to previous scholarship, which focused heavily on Israel’s origins and the monarchic period, Schipper’s history gives equal attention to the Persian and early Hellenistic periods, providing confirmation that a wide variety of forms of YHWH religion existed in the Persian period and persisted into the Hellenistic age.Original and innovative, this brief history provides a new outline of the historical development of ancient Israel that will appeal to students, scholars, and lay readers who desire a concise overview.

Confessions
by Augustine"Williams's masterful translation satisfies (at last!) a long-standing need. There are lots of good translations of Augustine's great work, but until now we have been forced to choose between those that strive to replicate in English something of the majesty and beauty of Augustine's Latin style and those that opt instead to convey the careful precision of his philosophical terminology and argumentation. Finally, Williams has succeeded in capturing both sides of Augustine’s mind in a richly evocative, impeccably reliable, elegantly readable presentation of one of the most impressive achievements in Western thought—Augustine's Confessions." —Scott MacDonald, Professor of Philosophy and Norma K. Regan Professor in Christian Studies, Cornell University

Confessions of a Fumbling Believer

Confessions of a Happily Married Man: Finding God in the Messiness of Marriage
by Joshua L. RogersDiscover God in the messiness of your marriage, as popular marriage and family columnist Joshua Rogers offers spouses hope with real-life stories from his own marriage and helps you see how God is at work in the ordinary and extraordinary of your relationship.Confessions of a Happily Married Man is a husband's painfully honest account of his first ten years of marriage. It offers a window into the perspective of a man who went from "hello" to "I do" in nine months and then figured out how hard marriage could be. When Joshua Rogers thought back on the marriage books he had read or sermons about marriage he had heard, it occurred to him that he could only remember one thing about them: the stories. That's why this book is anchored by stories that other couples will relate to and can easily learn from. The stories are cringe-worthy, humorous, inspiring, heart-breaking, and full of wisdom--but the author isn't telling the reader what to do with that wisdom. He's letting the reader learn along with him as he's gradually becoming more self-aware, increasingly grateful for his wife, and surprised to discover what God is doing in the middle of it all.

Confucianism's Prospects: A Reassessment (SUNY series in Chinese Philosophy and Culture)
by Shaun O'DwyerIn Confucianism's Prospects, Shaun O'Dwyer offers a rare critical engagement with English language scholarship on Confucianism. Against the background of historical and sociological research into the rapid modernization of East Asian societies, O'Dwyer reviews several key Confucian ethical ideas and proposals for East Asian alternatives to liberal democracy that have emerged from this scholarship. He also puts the following question to Confucian scholars: what prospects do those ideas and proposals have in East Asian societies in which liberal democracy and pluralism are well established, and individualization and declining fertility are impacting deeply upon family life? In making his case, O'Dwyer draws upon the neglected work of Japanese philosophers and intellectuals who were witnesses to Japan's pioneering East Asian modernization, and protagonists in the rise and disastrous wartime fall of its own modernized Confucianism. He contests a sometimes Sinocentric and ahistorical conception of East Asian societies as "Confucian societies," while also recognizing that Confucian traditions can contribute importantly to global philosophical dialogue, and to civic and religious life.
