EL SECRETO PARA LA VICTORIA EN LA GUERRA ESPIRITUAL Y PARA CAMINAR EN EL PODER DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO El libro La llave secreta al cielo de Thomas Brooks es un manifiesto crucial sobre la oración privada, donde se indaga en su significado, necesidad y los múltiples beneficios que aporta a la vida del creyente. Brooks realiza un análisis exhaustivo de la oración íntima, abordando no solo aspectos prácticos sino revelando también su importancia fundamental como sostén de la vida cristiana, que es a la vez centrada en Dios y fructífera.>"Es difícil tener demasiados libros sobre la oración, aunque, por desgracia, a menudo es más fácil leer libros sobre la oración que ponerse a rezar. Todos necesitamos incitarnos a orar y este libro nos ayuda a ello. Como indica el título con su subtítulo, trata principalmente de la oración privada o personal, pero aunque éste sea su enfoque hay mucho que es aplicable a la oración en general. Brooks destaca por sus frases concisas y memorables, y una de ellas me pareció especialmente llamativa. Al final del libro habla de la oposición de Satanás a la oración secreta, y da razones para ello: "en parte porque la oración secreta es tan musical y deliciosa para Dios". ¿A quién se le habría ocurrido utilizar la palabra "musical"? Este puritano ciertamente debía amar la música para escribir de esa manera, y qué imagen evoca. La oración secreta es como una hermosa canción o melodía que entra por el oído de Dios; ¡qué incentivo para orar!"Paul E. Brown THOMAS BROOKS (1608-1680), es uno de los más conocidos puritanos ingleses, curso estudios en la Universidad de Cambridge donde destaco por su erudición y profunda piedad. Es autor de muchos libros entre los que se destacan Remedios preciosos contra las asechanzas del diablo, El cristiano enmudecido bajo la vara de Dios, entre muchos otros.

Depuis une vingtaine d'années, la communication politique a connu parallèlement une montée en puissance de la conflictualité et l'apparition de séquences interactionnelles de plus en plus violentes. On a vu se multiplier lors des débats les propos acerbes, les phrases assassines et les formulations au vitriol destinées à décrédibiliser l'adversaire, à lui faire perdre toute valeur aux yeux du grand public: des formes de citation, de répétition, de détournement et d'appropriation de la parole politique de l'adversaire pour nuire à son image publique et à sa légitimité, battre en brèche ses arguments ou les retourner contre leur auteur non sans brio parfois. Provoquant parfois le sourire, agaçant d'autres fois, ces propos ne laissent jamais indifférents les observateurs aguerris de la vie politique. Ces fulgurances langagières qui font tout le sel des campagnes électorales consti- tuent le coeur de ce nouvel ouvrage d'Alexandre Eyries.

Dans ce nouvel ouvrage, j'aspire à montrer que toutes les activités humaines - a fortiori celles qui relèvent de la mise en récit du politique, du recours à des opérations symboliques ou de l'écosystème médiatique dans son ensemble - possèdent un soubassement anthropologique fort dans la mesure où elles constituent à la fois un interprétant de la société dans laquelle elles sont développées et un éclairage à l'aune duquel les pratiques humaines prennent à la fois forme et sens. De nos jours l'intrication de la politique et des médias est telle que, dans cet écheveau complexe, on peine à retrouver les caractères distinctifs de l'un et l'autre champ. Cette imbrication forte permet de renforcer encore la dimension médiatico-politique de la communication politique qui n'existe que dans sa chambre d'écho et d'ego à la fois médiatique et socionumérique. Les médias (mainstream et médias sociaux) sont des dispositifs sociaux possédant une opérativité socio-symbolique forte qui performe la politque et l'espace public fusse-t-il numérique.

Death in Etobicoke is an eclectic collection of humorous stories, which are clearly valued by intelligent readers with a keen sense of humour. That sounds like you, doesn't it?In this book, journalist and best-selling author Scott Colby focused on two themes: The first is how the tasty and tantalizing desires in life bring us the promise of great pleasure but can ultimately lead us to an untimely demise. But Colby reveals this in a very entertaining and hilarious way, of course. The beating heart of both the desire and destruction is the strangely alluring goth goddess, Lucy Fehr, whom our hero, Scott Colby, cannot resist. How many times must Colby fall for her enchanting, yet lethal, charms? Spoiler alert! Three, to be exact.The second theme is that a healthy perspective to life is often earned by facing our fears and pushing through misery. Everything is going to be all right. Unless, of course, Lucy Fehr suddenly appears!Please note that Death in Etobicoke was originally published in 2019 as Tales from the North Shore.

One foot in both worlds, welcome in neither. Fathered by the most hated man in the shifter world, Griffin is considered a half-breed and is welcome by neither the shifters nor one-forms. When he's captured by the Alliance, he has the choice of remaining loyal to blood, despite loathing everything they represent, or helping the shifters and earning the chance of a life. All of his plans change when the animal his family suppressed for decades decides it's time to take over and there is no going back to how Griffin was. Blaise is a mutt in her community. A mixed breed shifter marked by a darker skin pigmentation for all to plainly see. Having a family and happily ever after has never been part of her plans, and she made sure it could never happen. She survived her cruel childhood and is content with her adult life. The only thing she lives for is her job. As part of the Alliance's Special Operations team, she spends her time on the road enforcing laws for her kind and bringing justice to those who break them. Her every moment for the last year has been bringing an end to the terrors her kind have faced at the hands of a human organization-anything and everything she can do to stop them, she will. When she is sent to watch over someone the Alliance captured, her life takes an unplanned turn. This man is nothing like she thought he'd be. It becomes a struggle to keep him alive and out of the hands of those that will do anything to get him back, but she's determined to keep him safe. In Jacqueline Paige's Animal Senses Series, hearts and tempers collide with wild passions and animal instincts. Animal shifters live among normal humans (one-forms) and have since the dawn of time. They blend in without any cause for notice until a crime organization finds out and starts hunting them to sell off across the globe. The shifter alliance is formed to protect all their kind. Their teams are working endlessly to rescue all of theirs from lives of servitude and shutting down any involvement in the underground organization.
