        Abrid mentes, tocad corazones

        by Jorge A. Sierra

        Juan Bautista de La Salle estaba llamado a una vida cómoda y llena de privilegios, pero se dejó conmover por la situación de los niños y jóvenes abandonados y sin educación. Escuchando la palabra de Dios, con profunda fe, se puso en camino, sin mirar atrás.Revolucionó la pedagogía y la organización de la escuela en pleno siglo XVII, pero no lo hizo como un simple maestro, sino como un hermano, formando comunidades de educadores dispuestos a dedicar todas sus fuerzas a la educación humana y cristiana.Su mensaje no quedó en el olvido: se sigue desarrollando en todos los países y después de más de trescientos años. Ahora, nos toca a nosotros la labor: seguir abriendo las mentes y tocando los corazones, poniéndonos al servicio de la educación integral de los más necesitados.

        Coming Home

        by Jon Elsby

        Coming Home looks, in the broadest sense, at the Catholic Church and the phenomenon of conversion. It considers, among other things, the varied components of Catholic identity; the complex, multifaceted relations between Catholicism and postmodernism, and between Church doctrine and pastoral praxis; and the controversies between so-called conservatives and liberals over the direction the Church should take in the future. The Catholic Church, with its 2,000 years of accumulated doctrine and definition, claims to be the one and only divinely appointed repository of religious truth and wisdom, authoritatively taught and preserved for transmission to posterity. No other institution makes such a claim. It would be unwise to dismiss that claim in accordance with some dogmatic presupposition rather than weighing it impartially according to the evidence. Coming Home invites the reader to consider all the evidence before making up his or her own mind.   Available at Amazon and other online retailers.

        by Elisabeth Elliot

        "No one has had a greater impact on my spiritual development than Elisabeth Elliot. . . . May her experiences--and her confident conclusion--strengthen you for your journey as they have strengthened mine."--from the foreword by Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church and author of Choose JoyIn this deeply personal account of her first year as a missionary, Elisabeth Elliot shares the challenges she faced as she worked in the jungles of Ecuador to bring the Word of God to a people virtually untouched by the outside world. With fascinating detail, she captures the stark realities of life in the jungle, the difficulties she encountered while developing a written language for the tribe, and her confusion when God didn't "cooperate" with her efforts to accomplish what she believed was His will.More than just a memoir, Made for the Journey is a beautifully crafted and deeply personal reflection on the important questions of life and a remarkable testimony to authentic Christian obedience to an unfathomable God.
