History of the Sabbath and First Day of the Week is a religious book by Seventh-day Adventist minister John Nevins Andrews about the practice of observing the Sabbath in seventh-day churches. According to the Bible, the Sabbath is a day of rest on the seventh day, commanded by God to be kept as a holy day of rest, as God rested from creation. The seventh-day Sabbath, observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, is an important part of the beliefs and practices of seventh-day churches. These churches emphasize biblical references such as the ancient Hebrew practice of beginning a day at sundown, and the Genesis creation narrative wherein an "evening and morning" established a day, predating the giving of the Ten Commandments. Seventh-day Adventist Church traditionally holds that the apostate church formed when the Bishop of Rome began to dominate the west and brought heathen corruption and allowed pagan idol worship and beliefs to come in, and formed the Roman Catholic Church, which teaches traditions over Scripture, and to rest from their work on Sunday, instead of Sabbath, which is not in keeping with Scripture.

La primera biografía autorizada del Dalái Lama - una historia alternativamente inspiradora e impactante -de un aclamado erudito tibetano, con un acceso privilegiado al tema de su libro. El mensaje de paz y compasion del Dalai Lama se hace sentir en personas de todo tipo de fe y en las que no tienen ninguna. Sin embargo, debido a toda su fama en todo el mundo, suele mostrarse evasivo. Por fin, Alexander Norman - un aclamado erudito en la historia del Tibet, formado en Oxford - ofrece la biografia definitiva, unica e inolvidable. El Dalai Lama narra una increible odisea desde un remoto pueblo tibetano hasta su posicion mundial como lider espiritual y politico de una de las tradiciones culturales mas profundas y complejas del mundo.

Sin embargo, aun mas sorprendente que la accion politica - Norman nos convence -, se encuentra la extraordinaria practica espiritual del Dalai Lama, basada en la magia, la revelacion y la profecia, cuyos detalles quedan iluminados por primera vez en este libro. Una reveladora historia vital de uno de los lideres mundiales mas radicales, carismaticos y queridos de nuestra epoca.

"Cuando hablo de Lao Tsé, es como si hablara de mí mismo. Mi Ser es totalmente uno con él. Cuando hablo de Lao Tsé es como si me estuviese mirando en un espejo, se refleja mi propia cara. Cuando hablo de Lao Tse estoy absolutamente con el. Incluso decir que estoy absolutamente con el no es verdad. Soy el, el es yo. Los historiadores tienen dudas acerca de su existencia. Yo no puedo dudar de su existencia porque, ¿como voy a dudar de mi propia existencia? En el momento en que yo fui posible, el fue verdadero para mi. Incluso si la Historia prueba que nunca existio, para mi no cambiaria nada. Debe de haber existido, porque yo existo. Yo soy la prueba."
