        Master Key Arcana

        by Charles F. Haanel and others (Thomas Troward, Dr. T.R. Sanjivi, James Allen)

        When The Master Key System was first released circa 1916, it created quite a stir. It was supposedly banned by some groups and rumors abounded about it influencing some of the most wealthy and powerful people in the world. Master Key Arcana contains a wealth of new writings by Charles F. Haanel and others, some of which were “lost” as time passed. It is the perfect companion to those who have read The Master Key System. It is also a wonderful introduction to what many consider to be the finest book ever written on the powers of the mind and how to attain your goals, dreams, and desires. Included in this handy and illuminating tome are: ▪ A unique psychological chart to help assess where you stand and how you can improve. ▪ Writings about The Master Key System to help you better understand Haanel and his ideas. ▪ Writings that influenced Mr. Haanel, such as Judge Thomas Troward and Henry Drummond. ▪ Images of Haanel’s original and now rare correspondence courses. ▪ The “lost” parts of The Master Key System published for the first time in over sixty years. Master Key Arcana is a wonderful look at the influences of The Master Key System, how it influenced others, and how to best utilize it to attain your full potential. The “lost” parts are worth the price of admission alone. The results of reading this book, though, are priceless.

        Theology and Spirituality of Priestly Apostolic Ministry

        by Ángel Cordovilla

        This work, halfway between the personal testimony and the theological reflection, is divided into three parts. The first displays the historical and cultural situation that has provoked a radical change in the way of perceiving and understanding priestly ministry. The second identifies four features that may enlighten nowadays the image and mission of the priest: the disciple, apostolic, fraternal, and secular dimensions. The third part deepens into the basic tasks of his mission –the preaching of the Gospel, the sanctification by way of the sacramental and liturgical action, and the guidance of God’s people–, without forgetting that the criterion that must guide and feed the apostolic existence is the daily practice of the ministry, the true and proper way to holiness.

        The Way of the Disciple

        Following Jesus according Mark's Gospel

        by Santiago Guijarro

        The originality of this work is the invitation to read the Gospel in light of the experience of Jesus’ discipleship. The circumstances of today’s readers are certainly different from those of the first disciples. Nowadays, possibly no one makes a living by fishing with rudimentary techniques in a small lake and no one speaks the language of those fishermen...  Yet, today’s readers can easily share with them the experience of being called by Jesus and the joy of being by His side. They may even know first hand how difficult it is sometimes to persevere in following Jesus. We must remember today the founding experiences of our faith, discipleship being one of them.

        Invitation to Christianity

        Experience and Truth

        by Olegario González de Cardedal

        True teachers have invited us to search for what they considered essential to live a full life: to seek the truth, to love the neighbor, to cultivate wisdom, to find the meaning of history and to search God. This book is an invitation to know Christianity from within. The origin of Christianity lies in the historical event of Jesus of Nazareth, who proposed a particular way of life and of truth. The experience of millions of men and women who throughout the centuries have thought about Christianity and lived it gives witness to a reality which can be intellectually thought and lived, whose practice is affable and feasible, and which remains an open and accessible path to search for Jesus Christ’s God.

        Anthropology of Christian Vocation

        From Person to Person

        by Juan Manuel Cabiedas

        The question regarding how to guide one’s own life is among the most pressing and serious questions. Both in its sacred understanding, as referring to a trascendent call, and in its lay conception, that connects the feeling of happiness to one’s self-fulfillment, the word vocation expresses the right way that a person follows to succesfully lead his or her own life. This may be the reason why, when talking about vocation, the word echoes all the elements that make up the identity of the human being: corporeity and spirituality, intelligence and sensitivity, conscience and freedom, personal biography and collective history. Without vocation, the personal being is doomed to treat oneself and to be treated with indifference.

        Acompañar en la enfermedad y preparar una buena muerte

        by Jose Mª Avendaño

        Lo grande, lo importante, se esconde en lo pequeño, en la simplicidad, en el abandono. Así lo repite el autor, de una u otra manera, en su canto, porque este libro es un canto.Estas páginas nos hacen descubrir, en la memoria filial y creyente, la belleza de la creación y de la salvación encarnada en un pueblo de La Mancha, en la vida de un hombre sencillo, bueno, un campesino honrado y creyente sincero, en el escenario de una familia rural y piadosa.Unas memorias cristianas llenas de agradecimiento, de profundidad, de sentido. La historia que cuenta este libro no es fantasía, no es ficción, sino una historia real, la historia de Cándido.Nos encontramos con temas fundamentales de nuestra existencia: la vida, la familia, el sufrimiento, la muerte, el duelo, la orfandad, el acompañamiento de los que sufren, etc.El mejor camino para la aceptación del sufrimiento y de la muerte, para superar el duelo, es asumirlo, hacerlo parte de nuestra vida, comulgar con él con la certeza de que hemos vencido en el Aquel que murió y resucitó por nosotros.

        Es tarde, pero es nuestra hora

        by Emma Martínez Ocaña

        Este libro, aunque fraguado y pensado a lo largo de los últimos años, ha brotado durante el confinamiento provocado por la COVID-19.No solo es una reflexión sobre el acontecimiento en sí y sobre lo que podríamos aprender de él, sino una mirada a las causas más profundas, con la finalidad de alertar ante la urgencia y gravedad de la situación actual: Es tarde.Al mismo tiempo, la autora quieres unir su voz a tantas otras que nos alertan de la urgencia de realizar cambios profundos para salvar la vida en nuestro planeta y a nuestra especie en él: Es nuestra hora.Es nuestra generación la que tiene que responsabilizarse. Pero será madrugada, es decir, aún estamos a tiempo, aún es posible emprender los cambios; en vez de derrotismo, a lo largo de estas páginas encontraremos una llamada a la esperanza activa y comprometida.

        Flight Into Freedom and Beyond

        by Eileen Caddy

        Eileen Caddy co-founder of the world famous Findhorn Community in the North of Scotland is an ordinary woman who has lived an extraordinary life. She has allowed herself to be a channel for her still small voice within that she recognises as the word of God. She has always followed it fearlessly and with total obedience. Her early life showed no sign that it would be anything other than thousands of others of her generation - marriage children a quiet life of domesticity and child rearing. However when Peter Caddy burst into her life everything changed. Eileen's life was turned upside down and the journey both outer and inner to Findhorn had begun. It is now 50 years ago since Eileen first heard that voice announcing Be still and know that I am God. Her life since then has not been easy. There was the hell of her dark night of the soul when life seemed to hold no more meaning for her. Losing her home and living for years in a tiny caravan next to a rubbish dump with Peter and their three boys. Eventually even losing her husband and partner to another woman - the man with whom she had worked to create the Findhorn was suddenly no longer there to support her. But somehow Eileen's faith and trust in God have helped her to adjust to all the challenges and changes in her life. Now in her 80s she continues to be an inspiration and beacon of hope to millions around the world. She still lives in the centre of the Findhorn Community and is a source of stability continuity and wisdom for each new generation of people drawn there.

        The Findhorn Book of Unconditional Love

        by Tony Mitton

        Though "unconditional love" has only recently entered out general thinking, its realization has always been part of the Findhorn Community's work and purpose. In a perceptive and personal book, Tony Mitton, a five year resident at Findhorn, explores its implications and applications in everyday life, also clarifying confusions about its meaning. He argues that unconditional love is built into our physical nature and can be given and received by everyone, of whatever faith or none. He suggests that in our present critical times we need to make it part of us, and the exercises in the book help readers to make it come naturally to them. Unconditional love pops up in our life in countless ways - with a pet, a lover or a friend - we just need to recognize it.;Learning at Findhorn is experiential, so Tony Mitton draws on incidents from his own life and discusses the effect of prior ones. Because Findhorn is a group experience, he has asked family and friends to add their insights. The result is a comprehensive roadmap and prospectus, embracing humans, angels, animals, art, landscapes and God.
