Written for You
Author: Miguel De La Cruz
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1098077237
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
God, life, and questions. For many more questions than answers. Please read this book, for there is one prose poem written for you. Written for You is a book with prose poems recited by Pastor Sam Iglesias, then a Bible verse followed by his homily. They are linked together for continuity; this allows the reflection of the word of God and how it will enable you to understand the Lord's grace. The Lord has not changed and what was is still today. Find God, in his words, in the Holy Bible. Your starting point of building your faith and trust. Written for You is written in the hope that it may affect you profoundly, so it may show you that the word of our Lord is relevant in your life; continue to learn and teach the word, serve the Lord. Allow yourself to be a teacher, allow the Holy Spirit to be present. Jesus said, “Wherever you may go in the world, tell all of the good news.” Pastor Sam gives you the good news, for the Lord commands him, as it is commanded for you to share the good news with all. Written for You is only a key; it can open the door, but you must choose from the two alternatives, the world or the word. We must pray for the grace, valor, and wisdom. When we surrender and submit to his authority, then the true purpose of who you are will be revealed and allow you to see the light, so you may worship the Lord in his splendor and do his will.

The Hagakure
Author: Yamamoto Tsunetomo
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595253628
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Warrior ethics have been studied in famous books and popular movies such as Shogun and The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. The Hagakure was originally written in the early 1700s over a seven year period. Dictated by Yamamoto Tsunetomo to an assistant, the book was never meant to be published, but after Tsunetomo's death the assistant published it to honor his master. Inside this ancient text are all the deep and mysterious ways of the Samurai. Page after page of topics unfold, ranging from the best way to face death to not looking foolish in a rainstorm. The Hagakure is chock full of Zen-like wisdom and maxims, and presents a revealing look at history's greatest warrior society, Japan in the age of the Samurai. Many use The Hagakure today as a guidebook on ethics, while others are awestruck by this glimpse at the Samurai's way of thinking.
