Book Description
It is Christmas day, and Max Cámara has a hangover. He’s due in his hometown of Albacete for lunch with his grandfather Hilario, but instead he’s called out to a local nightclub where things have gone horribly wrong. There, it’s still very much the morning after the night before. Cámara must untangle a tragic truth from a cast of extraordinary nativity characters, fresh from a performance the likes of which he’s never come across before. 'A series that just gets better and better. Each Max Cámara novel is a treat to savour' Mark Billingham 'conveys a wonderful sense of Spain... [Webster] does for the country what Michael Dibdin did for Italy' Geoffrey Wansell, Daily Mail 'All great cities need a fictional cop, and now Valencia has one of the very best in Jason Webster's dope smoking Chief Inspector Max Cámara. Step into his world of the corrida, corruption, and clouds of saffron and you'll be hooked. But if he offers you a roll-up...' Quintin Jardine

Book Description
Aniversario 27 de la investigación bioenergemal ['espiritual']. Patriarcas, profetas, Buda, Jesús, María, José y socios, lamas y Mahoma se disculpan con sus seguidores por el milenario engaño que han promovido. Todas las figuras religiosas se promueven parasitando sueños, provocando en el soñante escenas e imágenes favorables o desfavorables según a ellas les convenga. Sin este recurso, ellas no hubieran podido publicitarse. Dudas como éstas del Concilio Vaticano II quizá propiciaron el biocolapso ['fallecimiento'] de Juan XXIII. No obstante, este libro no es sobre las religiones, sino acerca de quiénes las figuras religiosas, y muchas personas más, fueron y son. ¡Información excepcional!

Book Description
The development of my poetry has been and is the development of an encounter with an idea about God, the great Spanish poet and Nobel Prize winner Juan Ramón Jiménez wrote several years before his death. An early twentieth-century pioneer in the use of free verse, Jiménez has always expressed himself through mystery and profundity. The author presents a fervent landscape of primordial imagery in an attempt to restore mystical poetry to its rightful place in literature and art. For anyone not familiar with the writings of this modern master, these austere and radiant poems, translated by the poet and scholar Antonio de Nicolás and presented alongside the original Spanish, will demonstrate why Jiménez is considered one of the masters of twentieth-century poetry. To what may this writing be compared? Whitman's 'Song of Myself' comes to mind, but it is not with any intention of taking away from Whitman's achievement that I declare a preference for the poetry of Juan Ramón Jiménez ...

Book Description
"Madre Ana's relaciones thus provide insight into the nature and extent of female monastic culture at the turn of the seventeenth century. They also demonstrate the ways in which cloistered women could exercise authorial control of their narratives even in the face of obedience to male authority."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Profound Poets encourages individuals reading to remain cognizant that our children are not only the church of today but also of tomorrow. Children worship and praise the same God we do as our Lord is actively present in all our lives. Our children's hearts are also geared toward honoring Him. As parents, guardians, and family members, understanding that the Christian Discipleship process begins at home, we must empower and encourage our children, God's children, to seek our Lords face, connect with His heart and pursue His guidance. Children's ideas are very relevant and we must remind them that they can accomplish anything in Christ who strengthens them (Philippians 4:13). Luke 18:16 states, "But Jesus called the children to him and said, `Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" (NIV). The Children of the Christian Mission of Panama are using the power of God's words to share spiritual knowledge expressing their love for God! This book encourages children to use their God-given gifts, talents and ideas to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel. As you read this book, invite the Lord into your heart. Ask Him to minister to you in a very special way. Consider the ways of the children...Can we benefit from their expertise and examples? Always remember, God can use a child to accomplish His will and purpose in your life. Jesus did... "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates" (Deuteronomy 6:6-9, NIV).

Book Description
La mayor&í a de nosotros somos personas corrientes que tenemos d&í as buenos y d&í as malos. Nuestras vidas son radicalmente ordinarias y poco emocionantes. Eso significa que son la clase de vidas que a Dios le fascinan. Mientras que el mundo alaba la belleza, el poder y la riqueza, Dios oculta su gloria en lo simple, lo trivial, lo insensato, y act&ú a en personas, cosas y lugares sin ning&ú n esplendor.En nuestra é poca de adoraci&ó n a los influentes y de presunci&ó n virtual, esta es una forma novedosa, incluso transformadora, de entender a Dios y nuestro lugar en su creaci&ó n. Nos insta a apreciar una vida de sencillez, a amar a aquellos a los que el mundo ignora, a trabajar por la gloria de Dios antes que la nuestra. Y demuestra que Dios siempre ha sido el Se&ñ or de la cruz: un Salvador que esconde su gracia en lugares sin encanto ni gloria.Tu Dios es demasiado glorioso les recuerda a los lectores que, si bien una vida tranquila puede parecerle insulsa al mundo, Dios tiende a usar a las personas comunes y corrientes para llevar a cabo su labor m&á s importante.Al final de cada cap&í tulo, Chad Bird invita al lector a profundizar en la b&ú squeda de la vida fiel y ordinaria con preguntas de estudio para uso tanto personal como grupal.
