Compilation of over 26 letters that Imam Ghazali wrote responding to Leaders, scholars and laymen alike. Abu Hamid Muhammad, famous in the world of learning as al-Ghazali, was born in Persia in 450 AH (1058 A.D). in Persia. He graduated from the Nizamia Madressa at Nishapur, with distinction, a very famous educational institution in Nishapur. Later, he was appointed as a teacher at the Nizamia College in Baghdad, where he proved very successful in imparting knowledge to the scholars under his care. This valuable gift of sustaining the interest of his pupils and passing on his knowledge to them made him so famous that students from all parts of the country flocked to study under him. Imam al-Ghazali was fondly referred to as the "Hujjat-ul-lslam", Proof of Islam, He is honoured as a scholar and a saint by learned men all over the world.Al-Ghazali is generally acclaimed as the most influential thinker of the Classical period of Islam; in his autobiography The Deliverance from Error, the Imam describes his education and his intellectual crisis, which left him so paralysed by doubt that he gave up his academic pursuits and worldly interests and became a wandering ascetic. This was a process (period) of mystical transformation. Later, he resumed his teaching duties but again left these. An era of solitary life devoted to contemplation and writing then ensued, which led to the authorship of a number of everlasting books (Many of which have been translated into English). Imam al-Ghazali's life was spent in the self-sacrificing service of God and his fellowmen. He left behind him a fine example for all men to follow. He died in 505 AH.

Esta é a esperada tradução da obra magistral de Philipp Melanchthon, "Loci Theologici," na sua versão de 1559. Com raízes profundas no Renascimento e na Reforma Protestante, Melanchthon empreendeu uma jornada intelectual que culminou nesta obra monumental, que agora está ao alcance dos leitores de língua portuguesa.Entre 1519 e 1520, Melanchthon mergulhou nos escritos do apóstolo Paulo, especialmente na Epístola aos Romanos, durante suas extensas reflexões. O que começou como estudos pessoais evoluiu para uma apresentação sistemática dos conceitos teológicos fundamentais.Estas anotações foram impressas em edições não autorizadas, motivando Melanchthon a revisar e expandir seu trabalho. Assim, nasceu a primeira edição de "Loci Theologici" em dezembro de 1521, sendo imediatamente reconhecida como uma contribuição essencial e profundamente inovadora para a teologia da Reforma Luterana, sendo considerada a primeira teologia sistemática protestante.As edições subsequentes, especialmente a de 1559, mostram a influência humanista de Melanchthon, incorporando elementos da filosofia antiga e mantendo a abordagem centrada na Bíblia. A última edição reflete a maturidade do autor e é considerada uma obra fundamental da ortodoxia protestante clássica, consolidando seu legado teológico. "Não há um livro sob o sol onde toda a teologia esteja tão bem organizada quanto em "Conceitos Básicos da Teologia". [...] Não há melhor livro depois das Sagradas Escrituras". Martinho Lutero"Você encontrará aqui um breve compêndio das coisas que um cristão deve saber para se guiar no caminho da salvação". João Calvino

ÁFRICA - dois livros aqui reunidos, dois países, duas situações, duas narrativas, uma só realidade - o aniquilamento feminino. Nesse clima, nesse continente, vive A ÚLTIMA MASOXI, título de um dos livros do jovem escritor BENI DYA MBAXI, num simbolismo realista que remete o sofrimento das mulheres, sua realidade aniquilada ao próprio nome do personagem principal, porque Maxosi vem de uma língua angolana e se refere a lágrimas..., por que sofrem as Masoxis? Por sua nula expressividade diante dos homens e das leis de Angola, onde as mulheres pertencem aos homens, sem nenhum direito a não ser servir seus amos masculinos. Em A MENINA DA BURCA, que também compõe este volume, o autor mostra aos leitores, com poucas nuances diferentes o mesmo aniquilamento das mulheres, o ácido com que seus amos as deformam, liberados por uma lei que em nada as protege. Mulheres são propriedades de seus amos e, como propriedades, recebem o tratamento eles determinam, sem intervenção nem de seus pais, nem de governos ou leis. Por isso, por essa África tão bela e sofrida, a Editora Cintra reúne num só volume esses dois textos vindos do sofrimento feminino. Angola e Paquistão unidos em um só volume, um só sofrimento: o aniquilamento feminino!

The term "Brush Out" refers to an attempt to cover our tracks so that no one will notice. Sometimes the Brush Out is so well done that the only people who can tell are those who have passed by this road before. In my career I experienced trauma, loss and disappointment. I learned to cope by trial and error and came out on the other side with the knowledge to help others on this journey.A career risking your life for the sake of others is an honorable career. There is an amazing statistic in Law Enforcement. That statistic reflects the fact that you are more likely to die by suicide than by an assailant. Too many agencies ignore this fact. First Responders are trained and equipped to deal with traumatic and difficult situations. They are trained to run towards what most people by instinct run away from. Yet, in my opinion we are not trained and given the equipment to deal with the toll our chosen profession has on our lives.Officers get stuck in a fatal funnel. A fatal funnel that they believe the one thing they have in life is in jeopardy or is gone and they convince themselves the world would be a better place without them. Suicide to them is a desperate attempt to stop the pain they are causing to themselves and others.Instead of this fatal funnel we should learn to adapt and cope with the ever changing facets of our career choice up and through retirement. We must remember how to stay connected to the good things in life (family, hobbies, fitness, friends etc...).Terence Shigg is the CEO of TLShigg Inc. (www.tlshigginc.com) Mr. Shigg has a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He has utilized the techniques in this book in his work, in his private practice, and in his personal life. It has worked for him and it will work for you.
