Compendio de reflexiones sobre las profecías biblicas, la segunda venida de Cristo y los eventos que aconteceran en los tiemps del fin

Un día, como otras veces, abrí mi Biblia al azar, para recibir algún mensaje de Dios, es una costumbre bien conocida entre los cristianos. Leí el último capítulo de Lucas y puse mi atención en el versículo 44 y me pregunté ¿Qué es lo que está escrito en los Salmos acerca de Cristo? Los Salmos son cánticos, alabanzas, la historia cantada de un pueblo, un pueblo hostigado y perseguido por siglos. Me di a la tarea de leer con cuidado todas las expresiones de los 150 Salmos que se encuentran en la Biblia. Encontré un tesoro. Descubrí profecías relacionadas con Cristo en casi todos los Salmos. Fue una experiencia inolvidable, con pasión y frenesí me di a la tarea de poner en un libro todas esas profecías que hablan de nuestro Salvador y Dios, de su origen, su niñéz, su entrada al mundo, sus milagros, enseñanzas, su sacrificio y sufrimientos, además su triunfo y coronación como futuro Rey en Jerusalén y su dominio sobre todas las cosas.

Superb general account.' Times Literary Supplement The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.

Robert Wuthnow finds that those who are most involved in acts of compassion are no less individualistic than anyone else--and that those who are the most intensely individualistic are no less involved in caring for others.

The Political Spirituality of Cesar Chavez: Crossing Religious Borders maps and challenges many of the mythologies that surround the late iconic labor leader. Focusing on Chavez's own writings, León argues that La Causa can be fruitfully understood as a quasi-religious movement based on Chavez’s charismatic leadership, which he modeled after Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi. Chavez recognized that spiritual prophecy, or political spirituality, was the key to disrupting centuries-old dehumanizing narratives that conflated religion with race. Chavez’s body became emblematic for Chicano identity and enfleshed a living revolution. While there is much debate and truth-seeking around how he is remembered, through investigating the leader’s construction of his own public memory, the author probes the meaning of the discrepancies. By refocusing Chavez's life and beliefs into three broad movements—mythology, prophecy, and religion—León brings us a moral and spiritual agent to match the political leader.

In its heyday, the United Farm Workers was an embodiment of its slogan “Yes, we can”—in the form “¡Sí, Se Puede!”—winning many labor victories, securing collective bargaining rights for farm workers, and becoming a major voice for the Latino community. Today, it is a mere shadow of its former self. Trampling Out the Vintage is the authoritative and award-winning account of the rise and fall of the United Farm Workers and its most famous and controversial leader, Cesar Chavez. Based interviews conducted over many years—with farm workers, organizers, and the opponents and friends of the UFW—the book tells a story of collective action and empowerment rich in evocative detail and stirring human interest. Beginning with the influence of the ideas of Saul Alinsky and Catholic Social Action at the union’s founding, through the UFW’s thrilling triumphs in the California fields, the drama concludes with the debilitating internal struggles that effectively crippled the union. A vivid rendering of farm work and the world of the farm worker, Trampling Out the Vintage is a dramatic reappraisal of the political trajectory of Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers and an essential re-evaluation of their most tumultuous years. Winner of the 2012 Hillman Prize in Book Journalism.
