Hacia El Infinito, es un libro que trata de aclarar toda una serie
de dudas, en las cuales el hombre occidental actual desconoce,
debido al estilo de vida y valores creado por la sociedad
contemporanea, apego a las cosas materiales y las carencias de
valores espirituales, estamos viviendo en una epoca de crisis
espiritual e ignoramos toda una serie de sabiduria que debemos
conocer, la vida no es difrute, es un aprendizaje, donde venimos a
perfeccionarnos y liberarnos de la ignorancia, debemos comprender
que nacemos y morimos pero no una sola vez, como la gran mayoria de
la sociedad actual cree, nacemos muchas veces mas, en una sola vida
no nos complementamos, la sabiduria y perfeccionamiento no se logra
en una sola vida, vivimos para cumplir un Karma (relacion,
causa-efecto) que tenemos todos, a traves del Karma y Reencarnacion
es por la cual vamos evolucionando hacia dimensiones cada vez
superiores a la anterior, viajando hacia el infinito.

No living scholar has shaped the study of American religious
history more profoundly than George M. Marsden. His work spans U.S.
intellectual, cultural, and religious history from the seventeenth
through the twenty-first centuries. This collection of essays uses
the career of George M. Marsden and the remarkable breadth of his
scholarship to measure current trends in the historical study of
American evangelical Protestantism and to encourage fresh scholarly
investigation of this faith tradition as it has developed between
the eighteenth century and the present. Moving through five
sections, each centered around one of Marsden's major books and the
time period it represents, the volume explores different
methodologies and approaches to the history of evangelicalism and
American religion.
Besides assessing Marsden's illustrious works on their own terms,
this collection's contributors isolate several key themes as
deserving of fresh, rigorous, and extensive examination. Through
their close investigation of these particular themes, they expand
the range of characters and communities, issues and ideas, and
contingencies that can and should be accounted for in our
historical texts. Marsden's timeless scholarship thus serves as a
launchpad for new directions in our rendering of the American
religious past.
""American Evangelicalism" is a grandly conceived and skillfully
executed "festschrift" in honor of George M. Marsden. The affection
and regard for Marsden from his colleagues and former students
shine through one essay after another. As a major historian of
American evangelicalism whose temporal range spans from the
colonial era well into the twenty-first century, Marsden very much
deserves this impressive tribute." --Leigh Eric Schmidt, Edward C.
Mallinckrodt Distinguished University Professor in the Humanities,
Washington University in St. Louis
Christians must know that their lives with God can be full of new
experiences every day through the fullness of the Holy Ghost. In
this text, Jakes discusses ways to meet challenges and realize
one's full potential. (Practical Life)
A Contoversial Spirit offers a new perspective on the origins and nature of southern evangelicalism. Most recent historians have focused on the differences between evangelicals and non-evangelicals, leading to the perception that during the "Era of Awakenings" American evangelicals constituted a united front. Philip N. Mulder dispels this illusion by examining the internal dynamics of evangelicalism. Although the denominations shared the goal of saving souls, he finds they disagreed over the correct definition of true religion and conversion. Examining conversion narratives, worship, polity and rituals, as well as more formal doctrinal statements in creeds and sermons, Mulder is able to provide a far more nuanced portrait of southern evangelicals than previously available, revealing the deep differences between denominations that the homogenization of religious history has until now obscured.
Primarily written for Latter-day Saints, "An Esoteric Approach to
Mormonism" is not simply a logistical essay on Mormon doctrine. It
is an investigation into the miraculous Atonement and its infinite
possibilities. It is a penetrating exploration into holiness and
what that actually means. "An Esoteric Approach to Mormonism"
explains the very essence of exaltation, delivering in variegated
brush strokes a majestic portrait of God, His mercy, and the
ineffable stability of justice. The intention of the book is to
unfold the realities of salvation through the Atonement of Jesus
the Christ by elaborately defining, and in some instances,
redefining the doctrines which surround the New and Everlasting
Covenant. "An Esoteric Approach to Mormonism" is a sincere effort
designed to assist the reader in recognizing the practical as much
as the ethereal in the restored gospel. It is a step by step walk
through the ordinances describing their purpose, and their effects,
while demonstrating their legitimacy and divine origins. -Martin
