El suicidio de las madres es una profunda y perturbadora novela que explora la desesperación y la lucha interna de un hombre al borde de la autodestrucción. La historia sigue a Juan, un hombre desgarrado por el dolor y marcado por las cicatrices de un pasado atormentado. Despues de años de maltrato, traicion y abandono, Juan llega a la conclusion de que la unica forma de escapar de su sufrimiento es a traves de la muerte. Cansado de vivir una vida llena de injusticias, decide saltar desde la ventana de su septimo piso, pensando que el impacto de la caida pondra fin a su dolor.Sin embargo, mientras se encuentra en el borde de la ventana, una revelacion lo detiene: recuerda las enseñanzas de un profesor de filosofia sobre la verdadera felicidad, aquella que solo llega con la ausencia total de dolor. Para Juan, la unica manera de encontrar esa paz es a traves de la muerte, pero, antes de hacer el salto final, algo cambia en su mente. Piensa que, si el ha sufrido tanto, hay otros que lo han hecho mas, y estos otros son los responsables de su dolor. Por eso, antes de acabar con su vida, decide hacer algo mas: liberarlos de su tormento, convencido de que, al hacerlo, les regalara la felicidad que el nunca pudo encontrar.Asi, con la excusa de hacer felices a los que mas le han lastimado, Juan decide llevar a cabo un oscuro plan: matar a tres personas que, segun el, viven atrapadas en un sufrimiento tan grande como el suyo. La primera es Amanda Rosario, su amante, que lo traiciono y lo contagio de una enfermedad devastadora; la segunda es su padre, cuya ausencia fue una condena silenciosa; y la tercera es su propia madre, la mujer que lo maltrato durante su infancia y cuya crueldad lo marco para siempre.A traves de este acto final de liberacion, Juan cree que alcanzara la felicidad y el estado de paz absoluta que tanto ansia. Pero, mientras se adentra en este camino, se enfrenta a la ambiguedad moral de sus decisiones y a las preguntas sobre la naturaleza del sufrimiento y la felicidad. El suicidio de las madres es una reflexion cruda sobre el sufrimiento, la culpa y la desesperacion. A medida que se acerca a la muerte, Juan se enfrenta a la paradoja de intentar liberar a otros cuando no sabe como liberarse a si mismo.

Seeing Sabbath as the Gospels Call to Resist, Reimagine, and Reclaim The worlds relentless push for "more and better" reflects a value system that is individualistic and economically exploitative, leaving Christians and the church itself exhausted. Amid this weariness, Sabbath emerges as not merely a day of rest, but a powerful, countercultural invitation to push back.In Sabbath Gospel, G. P. Wagenfuhr and Amy J. Erickson invite us to consider Sabbath as much more than a cessation from work. Sabbath is a grand exodus from tiring economic regimes and the empty promise of self-actualization. By expanding our vision of Sabbath beyond the Creation story, we vacate the idol of the world and take our place in the household of God, the church, where Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. In this robust biblical theology, scholars, theologians, and pastors find a fresh approach to Sabbath that moves us beyond empty practices and renews our language about the gospel.What youll find in Sabbath Gospel: A transformative view of Sabbath as communal resistance against the exploitative value systems of the world Interdisciplinary insights into the Biblical theology of Sabbath A call to live out Sabbath anew in Gods reconciled community Sabbath Gospel challenges readers to rethink Sabbath, moving beyond individualistic notions of rest. Sabbath is not just about stepping back from work for personal rejuvenation but about stepping into Gods householda reconciled community where rest is shared, burdens are lifted, and the gospel is renewed in our lives. Reimagine your view of Sabbath with Sabbath Gospel.
