Fe De Barack Obama – (Spanish)
$14.99
Discover the unapologetically Christian and liberal Barack Obama-and how he represents the changing face of religion in American politics.
You’d have to live in a cave to have avoided hearing about Barack Obama’s woes as he deals with the crises arising from the close mentor relationship he had with the senior pastor at Trinity United Church of Christ, Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. How, people ask, could Sen. Obama represent as president people of all races, when he attended for 20 years a church permeated by a defining, if understandable, spirit of anger toward white America? There is, however, much more to the senator’s faith than this one issue. As early as 1994, as he delivered a powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention in Boston, he was taking a stand for his faith: “We worship an awesome God in the Blue States… Those of us on the political Left who believe in a woman’s right to choose an abortion and who defend the rights of our gay friends and who care for the poor and who trust that big government can be a tool of righteousness-we also love God… No longer will we be painted as the non-believers” In The Faith of Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explores Obama’s religious faith without political or ideological bias. Because if a man’s faith is sincere, it is the most important thing about him, and it is impossible to understand who he is and how he will lead without first understanding the religious vision that informs his life.
Descubra al Barack Obama que es cristiano y liberal sin ningun reparo en admitirlo -y como el representa el rostro cambiante de la religion en la politica estadounidense.
Barack Obama enfrento ciertas tribulaciones mientras trataba con la crisis causada por su ex pastor, el doctor Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. ?Como pudo el senador Obama asistir durante 20 anos a una iglesia impregnada por un definitivo (aunque comprensible) espiritu de ira hacia los blancos de Estados Unidos? Hay, sin embargo, cosas mucho mas importantes en la fe del senador que tan solo este tema. En La fe de Barack Obama, Stephen Mansfield explora la fe religiosa de Obama sin inclinaciones politicas o ideologicas. Su premisa basica es esta:ASi la fe de un hombre es sincera, entonces es el factor que mas lo define. En consecuencia, es imposible entender como dirigira Barack Obama sin primero entender la vision religiosa que informa su vida.

Reluctant Caregiver : Navigating The Turmoil Of The Sandwich Generation
$17.99Some say courage is fear that has said its prayers.
Bobbi may be married with two grown children, but the child inside still fears and resents the attacks and tirades of her ninety-year-old mother, now afflicted with dementia. While still a teenager, Bobbi was disowned by her mother. How can she now take on the role of caregiver?
Bobbi seeks escape from the task, but gradually realizes that Jesus has a greater goal in mind than teaching her to be a caregiver. Crisis after crisis forces Bobbi to turn to Jesus for help, all the while testing to see if his promises can be taken literally. Is he in charge? Will he work things out? Is his plan perfect?
Nancy’s erratic behaviour and moods punctuate the ensuing year. Stripped of any illusion that she can cope on her own, Bobbi finds her faith rewarded in unpredictable ways. Her journey of anxiety and failure also comes with insights and small but important victories. She tells the story candidly, often humorously, as she comes to a deeper understanding of dementia, her mother, and most of all, Jesus.
Read and weep. Laugh and pray. Gain courage and perspective of your own!

Cash : The Autobiography
$16.99He was the “Man in Black,” a country music legend, and the quintessential American troubadour. He was an icon of rugged individualism who had been to hell and back, telling the tale as never before. In his unforgettable autobiography, Johnny Cash tells the truth about the highs and lows, the struggles and hard-won triumphs, and the people who shaped him.
In his own words, Cash set the record straight — and dispelled a few myths — as he looked unsparingly at his remarkable life: from the joys of his boyhood in Dyess, Arkansas to superstardom in Nashville, Tennessee, the road of Cash’s life has been anything but smooth. Cash writes of the thrill of playing with Elvis, the comfort of praying with Billy Graham; of his battles with addiction and of the devotion of his wife, June; of his gratitude for life, and of his thoughts on what the afterlife may bring. Here, too, are the friends of a lifetime, including Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Kris Kristofferson. As powerful and memorable as one of his classic songs, Cash is filled with the candor, wit, and wisdom of a man who truly “walked the line.”
