Rediscover Community in a Disconnected World Jesus said his followers would be known for their love, not their loneliness. Yet over half of Americansand American churchgoerssay that they lack companionship or that no one knows them well. We live increasingly disconnected lives, and our mental and spiritual health suffer as a result.In The Way Back to One Another, Jeff Galley and Phil Smith provide a remedy based on studying Scripture, learning from the global church, and observing best practices in thousands of small groups. The New Testaments exhortations to love one another are not merely individual commands but instructions for experiencing deep relationships and community, one to another, to each other, and each to all. Loving one another today will require a countercultural return to practices that are increasingly devalued and disregarded: depending on, committing to, talking with, knowing, and welcoming one another.In The Way Back to One Another, youll learn: Loneliness is a subtle yet pervasive issue that affects our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being, and even as Christ-followers, were not immune. God designed us for deep, meaningful relationships to help us become who he intends us to be. There is hope to cultivate the deeper connections we long for and to be ambassadors of those relationships for others, even in a culture of isolation. Fulfilling life is found in interdependence and realizing that our relationship with God is deeply connected to our relationships with others. Overcoming loneliness requires intentional, countercultural changes in how we live. Galley and Smith cast a vision for how we were created to live, outline practical shifts to combat loneliness, and offer life design suggestionssmall yet meaningful changes we can make to escape aloneness, build relationships, and create community to experience the depth of connection God intends for us. With The Way Back to One Another, discover how you and your church can break away from soul-killing isolation and become catalysts of life-giving relationships and community.

Un ensayo incisivo sobre el fin de las certezas, el cambio de élites y los dilemas del poder en el siglo XXI. El mundo que conocíamos ha dejado de existir. El orden nacido tras la Guerra Fría se deshace mientras emergen nuevas formas de poder, nuevas legitimidades y viejos fantasmas que creiamos superados. Las sociedades avanzan, pero lo hacen con una inquietud creciente y sin un horizonte claro.En Viaje a un Nuevo Mundo, Enric Juliana y Esteban Hernandez exploran este tiempo de transicion a traves de una conversacion lucida y exigente que va mas alla del diagnostico habitual. El libro aborda cuestiones centrales del debate contemporaneo el retorno de los imperios, la crisis del proyecto europeo, el ascenso de liderazgos autoritarios, la transformacion de Estados Unidos y la posicion de España en el nuevo escenario global desde una mirada inedita, atenta a las conexiones, las causas profundas y las consecuencias de largo alcance. No se limita a describir los cambios en curso, sino que indaga en los impulsos que los sostienen como el deseo de orden, la pulsion de venganza o la desconfianza hacia el futuro.Juliana y Hernandez combinan experiencia, conocimiento historico y capacidad interpretativa para ofrecer una lectura solida del presente. El resultado es un ensayo dialogado de gran claridad y ambicion, que huye del eslogan y del ruido para pensar en profundidad el cambio de epoca.

Una obra que invita a repensar la historia, el futuro y la propia idea de humanidad.Durante siglos, en nombre del progreso hemos arrasado ciudades, allanado montañas y cartografiado el planeta. Hemos creido que avanzar significaba dominar la naturaleza, aumentar la produccion, conquistar nuevos territorios y acumular conocimiento. Sin embargo, esa narrativa de mejora infinita ha sido tambien la mas destructiva: ha justificado genocidios, esclavitudes, conquistas y ecocidios. La fe casi religiosa en el progreso ha puesto en peligro la continuidad de nuestra civilizacion.En este ensayo ambicioso y provocador, el geografo Samuel Miller McDonald reconstruye la genealogia del mito del progreso para mostrar como se convirtio en la ideologia dominante de la modernidad. Explora sus raices en la antiguedad, su expansion en la Ilustracion y su culminacion en la era industrial y digital, cuando la promesa de crecimiento ilimitado se transformo en dogma.Progreso combina historia intelectual, filosofia, antropologia y ecologia politica a la vez que proclama la necesidad urgente de imaginar otros horizontes posibles. Frente a la fe ciega en la innovacion tecnologica y el crecimiento economico, si la humanidad quiere tener alguna posibilidad de futuro, debemos romper con la idea del progreso. Este libro nos muestra por donde empezar.

Este libro profundiza en un inquietante fenómeno: los influencers que corrompen la espiritualidad y el bienestar de la new age con políticas paranoicas, difundiendo bulos sobre las vacunas, historias sobre el trafico de niños y descabelladas teorias conspirativas.Durante la pandemia de COVID-19, surgio una tendencia alarmante en redes sociales: instructores de yoga e influencers de medicina alternativa publicaban historias sobre una conspiracion secreta mundial empeñada en controlar a la poblacion con una vacuna genocida. Cuentas que antes ofrecian recetas de batidos verdes y poemas se convirtieron en fuentes inagotables de enlaces a Fox News, memes de 4chan y profecias sobre la transformacion global.Desde 2020, los autores de este libro han utilizado su podcast Conspirituality para exponer la interseccion entre los profesionales de la medicina alternativa y los troles conspirativos de extrema derecha, revelando las locuras, los fraudes, las estafas y las sectas que dominan las esferas de la new age y el bienestar, que traicionan la confianza de tantas personas que buscan un alivio genuino en esta epoca de incertidumbre.

Aunque Josep Pla dijera que Agustí Calvet (1887-1964), más conocido por el seudónimo de Gaziel, había sido "la figura más señera del periodismo peninsular durante casi un cuarto de siglo", Josep Benet llego a la conclusion de que era, tambien, "uno de los personajes peor conocidos, incomprendidos y mas difamados" del siglo XX catalan. Ambos juicios son ciertos, pues no es exagerado decir que Gaziel llego a ser el mejor periodista no solo de Cataluña, sino de toda España, ni tampoco lo es afirmar que durante las ultimas decadas ha sido una de las personalidades mas injustamente juzgadas por un sector de la cultura catalana. Esta biografia -la primera que se publica en castellano sobre su figura- es un intento de reconstruir la compleja trayectoria vital y profesional de un intelectual que, segun sus propias palabras, "a pesar de su profunda catalanidad, de la que esta muy satisfecho, siempre ha tenido la mania de rebasar sus limites originarios. España le interesa mas que Cataluña, la Peninsula Iberica mas que España, Europa mas que la Peninsula Iberica, y por encima de todo, lo humano de Terencio, la Humanidad". Un hombre al que sus lectores amaban porque sabian que, siendo falible, era, por encimade todo, insobornable.

Víctor de Vita fue un obispo norteafricano que vivió hacia la segunda mitad del siglo v en el reino que los vándalos habían fundado en uno de los territorios más prósperos del Imperio Romano.Su Historia de la persecucion vandala en Africa, compuesta hacia 484 como fruto de un encargo, pretende dar testimonio tanto de la opresion ejercida por los barbaros, de credo arriano, como de la constancia de la comunidad catolica, posiblemente con el fin de alentar a esta ultima en su tribulacion. La obra, que pese a la profunda influencia de la literatura hagiografica y apologetica puede calificarse de historiografica, empieza por describir brevemente los horrores de la invasion vandala y del largo reinado de Geiserico (libro I) para centrarse a continuacion en el gobierno de Hunerico, y mas concretamente en la durisima serie de medidas que este monarca tomo entre los años 480 y 484 contra los catolicos y su clero (libros II y III). En el plan de la obra, en la que se incluyen varios documentos oficiales en su tenor original, presentan un interes particular los paralelismos biblicos, pues con ellos se busca equiparar los sufrimientos del momento con los del venerable pasado.Testigo presencial de buena parte de los hechos narrados, Victor nos ofrece un apasionado relato que, pese a su alto grado de retoricismo y caracter tendencioso, resulta imprescindible para conocer la vida religiosa del reino vandalo, y que constituye una fuente fundamental de uno de los principales conflictos de aquella convulsa epoca.Esta obra se traduce ahora por primera vez en lengua castellana.

Considerado por André Gide como o mais importante dos seus livros, Corydon consiste em quatro diálogos socráticos sobre a homossexualidade.Num diálogo animado com o seu entrevistador intolerante e rude, Corydon, cujo nome e uma homenagem a personagem homossexual das Eclogas de Virgilio, apresenta provas de naturalistas, historiadores, poetas e filosofos para defender a tese de que a homossexualidade e uma caracteristica humana natural que permeou as civilizaçes mais avançadas cultural e artisticamente, da Grecia Antiga a Italia renascentista ou a Inglaterra de Shakespeare.A coragem, inteligencia e presciencia do argumento de Gide faz de Corydon uma exploraço filosofica e literaria que, 75 anos apos a morte do autor, continua a desafiar os limites do desejo e da identidade, explorando um tema que dificilmente se tornou menos controverso com o passar do tempo.

Look past what youre being TOLDAnd see what youre being SOLDAnyone who cares about the girls and young women in their lives should read GIRLSJONATHAN HAIDTFreya India is one of our sharpest, smartest young writers HELEN LEWISGIRLS: Gen Z and the Commodification of Everything is a passionate, provocative and deeply personal journey into the pressures shaping young lives today. Freya India shows that age-old anxieties of girlhood are now being amplified by modern life and exploited like never before. While previous generations of women were relentlessly sold products and procedures, we have become the product. We display our lives on Instagram, advertise ourselves on dating apps and package ourselves into personal brands, making anxiety feel overwhelming and unmanageable. We have transformed from girls into GIRLS, from people into products.Each chapter of GIRLS focuses on a common anxiety in adolescent girls lives, from insecurities about our faces and bodies, to our reputation and social status, to our friendships and romantic relationships. Along the way, India traces how rapidly culture and technology have evolved over the past decade.This isnt just a book for girls. For young women, it offers a nostalgic, if unsettling, reflection on the world theyve grown up in and reassurance that theyre not alone in their struggles. For younger girls, it provides context for where these challenges began and warns where they might be headed. And, for parents, teachers and older generations, it serves as a reminder that these issues have never been so intense.GIRLS concludes with a message of hope, reminding readers how to reclaim their privacy, defend their dignity, and, above all, return to being people instead of products.
