Even if there is a realm beyond mortality, would finding it improve our lives on earth? What use is Spirit to a troubled world? Do prayer and meditation work?As a young man in search of love and a purpose to live for, the author could not fit within the world he found. Longing to be useful but unwilling to conform, he went out to South America. It wasnt so easy. Alone on a mountainside one day, an inner voice said, To make whole, be whole. This was a turning point. He realised that, before being able to help others, he first had to work on himself. Once back in England, he found a method of meditation.Love of nature led him to become one of the first organic farmers but, when asked what he really wanted in life, he answered God. Hed been schooled in the Christian faith but was not at this time attracted to the Church. Meditation proved an ideal accompaniment as further adventures took him to Africa and, in particular, the desert.Later, at a low ebb in the USA, he met Jesus, which brought his practice of meditation and Christianity together. At the age of 51, he re-entered university to study Russian prior to visiting his mothers homeland for the first time in 1991. This led to several years living in Russia, where he realised the similarity between his own practice and traditional Orthodox prayer of the heart.The book is based on notes of the authors unfolding spiritual experience, which taught him that the wholeness he sought is actually - Spirit. How is it attained? With many encouraging examples he shows how, with patient perseverance, the grip of the ego with all the restrictive unhappiness it brings, can be released. Being then more open to the influence of Grace, we may come to discover the Kingdom of God - our original, spiritual and perfect home.Dear John,I hope you wont mind my addressing you by your Christian name but having read your book twice as well as highlighting many paragraphs to study, I feel you are a dear friend.

Far from being the immutable Rock of Ages He is often assumed to be, the God of Christian history and tradition has had many different and often conflicting faces. Rock of Ages? opens with the emergence of the Biblical God from the pantheon of deities in bronze age Canaan, and culminates in the radical images of God that were appearing at the end of the twentieth-century, providing a historical overview of the different and sometimes conflicting ways in which He has been understood. By examining the ideas of key writers down the ages, whose ecclesiastical or intellectual power has allowed their insights to become embedded in the mainstream traditions of the Christian churches, Butler seeks to answer one central question: Why is it that people across the ages have claimed to have seen so many different and sometimes contradictory faces of the Christian God? Or more specifically: If there is one true God, and if He is known to those who believe in him through the revelation of Himself in history, why hasnt a consistent and unified understanding of Him emerged in the witness and testimony of those who claim to have seen his face? In the best of scholarly traditions, Butler presents his work as a clear account of his own quest for an answer; but although suggesting possibilities, he leaves others to come to their own judgements using the evidence available. Written in a clear and attractive style, this is a book for anyone without any prior knowledge of history, theology or philosophy, be they atheists, Christians looking to explore their faith, students or simply anyone interested in the history of religion.

Jugaba con el, se acurrucaba junto a el, y decidio que Mzee seria su mejor amigo y su nueva mama.Inspirado en una historia real acaecida tras el tsunami de 2004. La escritora Marion Dane Bauer y el ilustrador John Butler han creado esta conmovedora obra sobre la curacion, la adopcion y el renacimiento, con esplendidas ilustraciones y montones de amor.Owen fue rescatado por el Kenya Wildlife Service y los pescadores del lugar despues de que el hipopotamo y su familia fueran arrastrados por el rio Sabaki y devuelto a la playa por la ola del tsunami. Owen tenia menos de un año -los hipopotamos viven con sus madres hasta los cuatro años- y nadie pudo encontrar a su madre. Asi que, le llevaron al Haller Park, una reserva natural a las afueras de Mombasa. El pequeño hipopotamo huerfano eligio a Mzee, una tortuga macho de 130 años, para que fuera su nueva mama; y a Mzee parecio no importarle lo mas minimo.
