Un extraordinario relato basado en la vida de Albert Michael Websbourgh y en la experiencia que cambió radicalmente su conducta. Pocos años atrás, en una prisión de Inglaterra, Albert Michael Wensbourgh, un recluso muy violento, se convirtió repentinamente en un hombre de extrema bondad. ¿Qué sucedió para que se operara tal cambio de personalidad? Interrogado, Wensbourgh contó que un ángel era el artificie de tal transformación, y cuando los psiquiatras y especialistas lo estudiaron no pudieron hallar ningún tipo de desequilibro en su mente. El caso suscitó la curiosidad de muchos periodistas, pero fue la joven escritora española María Vallejo-Nágera quien tuvo la oportunidad de entrevistar a Wensbourgh y trabajar con él en la confección de este libro.
En este volumen, Andrónico y su familia siguen comentando el libro de los Hechos, concretamente los actuales capítulos 13-18, donde se cuentan tres viajes de Pablo: una misión en la zona sur y central de la actual Turquía, una ida a Jerusalén para resolver las tensiones surgidas entre esa comunidad y la de Antioquía de Siria, y otro viaje misionero, que, tras la visión del macedonio, lo lleva a diversas ciudades griegas, desde Filipos hasta Corinto. Pero Andrónico aprovecha la lectura de los Hechos para que su familia conozca algunas cartas de Pablo, bien íntegramente (Gálatas y 1 Tesalonicenses), o en algunas de sus partes (1 Corintios, Romanos). Para la inmensa mayoría de los católicos actuales, que de las cartas de Pablo sólo sabe que existen, que se leen en la misa, y que no hay quien las entienda, el contacto con estos textos puede suponer una grande y agradable sorpresa.ÍndiceIntroducción PARTE I La búsqueda 1.

«Tot em separa dun monjo catòlic. Jo no crec en Déu i ell, probablement, no creu en linconscient. Per ell, la veritat és divina, sha manifestat als humans i fins i tot sha encarnat en un home. Per mi, la veritat és humana, ens resulta amagada i no ens arriba si no és a través dallò que no sabem. La paraula li arriba de fora; a mi, de dins. Ell ha buscat viure més enllà de la condició humana amb el celibat, la pobresa, una comunitat dhomes, la vida religiosa. La meva vida i el meu treball, al contrari, estan immergits en la diferència dels sexes i de les generacions, en la societat del meu temps i la recerca científica.» A través del diàleg filosòfic, Marie Balmary expressa la seva visió de les relacions entre religió i psicoanàlisi, a la recerca no tant del que guareix sinó del que salva. És un diàleg on el verb creure es conjuga sense complements. Un intercanvi on un Déu que demana sacrificis un ogre devorador dànimes és confrontat a un Déu de la paraula que apel·la lésser humà a expressar un jo profund i un nosaltres significatiu. Una conversa que oscil·la entre lagnosticisme i la creença, entre el judaisme i el cristianisme, entre lexperiència interreligiosa i el manteniment de les identitats.
It was on my 17th birthday that I first heard – or felt – God’s voice. In those days, we seemed to have a happy extended family in Anathoth and I was welcome in it. Times are different now… From a family of priests in the peaceful reign of good King Josiah, came a young man, Jeremiah, bringing words from God to his people. It was no message for the fainthearted, either. It was a message of Terror on Every Side! A young king and a young prophet. What could they do together for the people of Israel? Could the disaster be averted? Jeremiah was a prophet of God for over 40 years, warning of judgement on the nation of Judah and all the nations around. Few would listen at all, and fewer still would take him seriously. Jeremiah lived to see the prophecies of destruction come true. No-one would believe his words until it was too late – and then there was Terror on Every Side! Terror on Every Side! The Life of Jeremiah: Volume 1 – Early Days (Volume 1 of 5). Body text size: 9.5pt Written by Mark Morgan (Bible Tales Online). The words of God came to Jeremiah as a fire, burning within him, and with them, his lifetime mission – a prophet to the nations. Walk with Jeremiah as he begins his life's work. Share his unfolding difficulties: opposition from family, friends and the leaders of the nation. Join him in his struggle to understand God's ways and the value of obedience. Meet King Josiah, one of the greatest kings of Judah and watch as he begins to work with Jeremiah to invigorate and reform the worship of God. Subsequent volumes: Volume 2 – As Good As It Gets Volume 3 – Darkness Falling Volume 4 – The Darkness Deepens Volume 5 – No Remedy Mark Morgan (Bible Tales Online)
Racism is not a skin problem, it is a SIN problem. Bishop Webb preaches that violence begets violence, but unity with the brethren will always invite the Holy Spirit in. Recognizing that you can be angry and sin not, Dr. Webb believes that righteous anger turns ordinary people into heroes who shape the course of history. He invites us to be part of the solution, and urges those hurt by racism not to let the adversity destroy their character, but instead let it define their character. Consistency is powerful, and Dr. Webb opens our eyes to the consistent opportunities to stand firm in our conviction that if God is no respecter of persons, we should follow His example and embrace our differences with Christ-like love.
