This book is about universal love, and how we can get out of our own way so that it can come through us; with compelling personal anecdotes and reflections, an opportunity for self-inquiry at the end of each chapter, and inspiring quotes from luminaries to lead the way.Yoga and mindfulness teacher Troy Hadeed tells a different kind of love story - one that connects us to our true nature and each other. His quest to understand the human experience and dissolve our sense of separateness provides a roadmap that each of us can follow to overcome the toughest obstacles, love fiercely, and live life wholeheartedly. Through his storytelling, readers are invited to contemplate: - their relationship to Spirit/God and their right to redefine it- the fundamental difference between hope and faith- the narratives that shape our perspective of the world and how we can rewrite them- our relationship to gratitude and what it truly means to 'be present' - an unconditional love that allows us to see beyond our conditioning - and so much moreIn his approachable, humorous, and welcoming tone, Troy invites us to journey alongside him as he meets the Kit Kat Kid on the streets of Calcutta, goes on a brutal 30-day trek in the unforgiving jungle of Central America, almost loses it on a random spiritual teacher at a gas station, gets his heart broken, encounters a six-time paraplegic surfing world champion, sits in silent meditation for 10 days, and spends time with some surprising guests. All roads lead to one place: Love.This is not a book that will tell you what to do or provide feel-good platitudes. It is a gentle and inspirational guide to introspection, self-awareness, and realizing our role in this epic human journey as we do our best to make the world a better place.Only when we get out of our own way, can we discover there is only one answer: Love.

THEMATIC CHESS TRAININGBOOK 1 - OPENING PROBLEMSChess openings always sow an element of intrigue and suspense. What will our opponent play? How can we take advantage of our position? What surprises and unpredictable moves await us at the end of each variant?In Chess School (1 and 2) attention is paid to openings, within the limited space available in generic manuals. In Chess School 2 there are two chapters: the first (The game in the opening) and the ninth (The repertoire of openings), the latter giving us a glimpse of the theoretical panorama, with some new ideas and, above all, the design of a repertoire, according to each player's individual style. Once the player has opted for a tailor-made repertoire, their task will consist of studying the openings they have decided to adopt, delving into them, and taking note of the novelties that are produced at each step. This certainly requires clarification. A theoretical novelty is that new move that high competition (or, as we said before, masterly practice) endorses and ratifies. A novelty is just a new move, an experiment whose merits and flaws have yet to be confirmed by competitive practice.Only one formula is known for progressing in chess: play as many games as possible, along with theoretical study and analysis of the games themselves. The ideal complement to this formula is, as many great masters recommend, for the player to develop and perfect their tactical and strategic skills by solving numerous exercises, specially selected for their usefulness. Like the ones we offer here.

This little book tells a highly unusual story. Taking place, as it does, in an early 1900's rural Hindu village, and with Amy Carmichael's artful telling, it seems like some kind of tragic fairytale. In fact, at one point the author asks the reader, "Does it read like a story made up, or at least touched up a little?" But it is not a story made up. Carmichael says, "Of all the stories we have touched since we came to India, hardly one has humbled us so much, as we thought of our faithless fears for the little Mimosa. But hardly one has lifted us so high in adoration, and in wonder, and in awe."How could a little girl who only spent one afternoon in the company of real Christians, gain enough light, or glean enough crumbs from under the Master's table, to sustain a profound and effectual faith through her many years of suffering? How could she learn about her loving Father in heaven, whom she asked to gather her and her children under the safety of His wings-like a hen gathers her chicks-without ever hearing or reading (she was illiterate) Luke 13:34? How did she find the conviction and the strength to resist the sometimes violent pressure to participate in the all-pervasive idol-worship of her community? How indeed, except that her loving Father taught her and sustained her. This story poses challenging questions about the very nature of living by faith.Missionary and prolific author Amy Carmichael worked in South India for the first half of the twentieth century. In addition to evangelism, she ran an orphanage and school, and is most well-known for rescuing children from temple prostitution. Dohnavur Fellowship, as it came to be known, was the refuge for more than one thousand children, and school to many more, including Mimosa's older sister and brother, and eventually her own sons and herself; making Mimosa's story a fairytale in the truest sense, in that she lived happily ever after.

In a time of profound personal crisis, in which his lifetime of intense spiritual devotion still offered no peace, Sundar Singh was defeated and determined to kill himself if he could not find the True God. Half an hour before the appointed time with the deadly train track, he had a vision of Jesus Christ, the one who saves. This encounter forever changed Sundar Singh and set him on the path of being a Christian Sadhu, or holy man, who-with "neither purse, nor scrip"-walked barefoot from village to village and over mountain passes to Tibet, preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ. In the ultimate expression of cultural adaptation, Sundar Singh's lifestyle as a Sadhu brought the Gospel of Jesus directly to the Indian people, without all the distracting and harmful Western trappings. Archbishop Söderblom wrote, "Here is an Indian soul, who has remained as genuinely Indian as possible, in the best meaning of the word, while becoming absorbed in the love of Christ and completely accepting the Gospel. It would not be easy to find anyone... who has more thoroughly assimilated the Gospel to himself than Sundar Singh. What is typical about him is not a fusion of Christianity and Hinduism, but a fresh presentation of Biblical Christianity that is in many ways stimulating and illuminating for ourselves."Sadhu Sundar Singh's life of simple faith in-and total devotion to-his Master impacted millions, not only in India, but all over the world. In addition to his annual treks over the mountains on the Hindustan-Tibet Road, he had the opportunity to preach to huge audiences in Europe, America, and Asia. Although he did not have kind words for the materialistic lifestyles of Western Christians, he was able to point people to Jesus, away from their idols, toward lives of total devotion; thereby strengthening their faith.Author Charles Freer Andrews was many things, Anglican priest, missionary, educator, social reformer, and activist. He was one of Mahatma Gandhi's closest friends, having the intimacy to use Gandhi's first name, Mohan. In turn, Gandhi nicknamed C. F. Andrews Christ's Faithful Apostle, based on his initials. Another of C. F. Andrews' intimate friends was Sadhu Sundar Singh, and it is from that friendship that this intimate memoir has been written. From the last chapter, "The constant remembrance of [Sundar Singh], during all these intervening years, has brought me nearer to Christ. When I was with him in the Himalayas and at Delhi, as this memoir will show, he strengthened my own faith and helped me to keep the pure flame of Christ's love burning bright. Therefore, it has been my one great longing that the reading of this book may be the means of passing on to others that same devotion to Christ."

Jonathan and Rosalind Goforth were a Presbyterian missionaries in China from 1888 to 1935. In the early 1900's, Mr. Goforth became a student of revivals, both contemporary and historical, and for the rest of his missionary career he worked as an evangelist and revivalist. This book is the astonishing record of the Holy Spirit's work in meeting after meeting, and contains dozens of stories testifying to the reality of God and the truth of His Word.From the introduction, "But though we speak of the manifestations at Pentecost as being abnormal, yet we maintain that Pentecost was normal Christianity. The results, when the Holy Spirit assumed control in Christ's stead, were according to Divine plan... The purpose of the Holy Spirit was to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ every day from the crowning to the coming. It is unthinkable that He should grow weary in well-doing... Normal Christianity, as planned by our Lord, was not supposed to begin in the Spirit and continue in the flesh. In the building of His temple it never was by might nor by power, but always by His Spirit."First published in 1929, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience.

Answered or unanswered?This is the challenge posed to the reader by the eighteen stories of prayer in this little book. Louisa Vaughan was a Presbyterian missionary in China who lived in the present reality of God, and wrote this beautiful and engaging collection of stories testifying to that reality. Two subjects of faith recur in almost every story; that the believer can ask anything in the name of Jesus based on His promise in John 14:13-14, and that via prayer and repentance, genuine revival comes through a visitation of the Holy Spirit.From the author's preface, "The aim of this little volume is to set forth as simply, and as concisely as possible, the incidents connected with my life and service for the Lord Jesus during my residence in China from October, 1896, to January, 1912. These stories as written were the result of the vision which the Lord Himself gave me concerning my witness-bearing amongst the Chinese people. And this testimony was to be one of Faith..."Originally published in 1920, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to be presented to a new audience.

Frank Varro, author of 'Stories from the Boxcar, ' is a retired Methodist pastor, prison and hospice chaplain, missionary, teacher, counselor, and musician. He is from a three-generation family of China missionaries. This 'Quilogy' (five-books-in-one) is the story of his paternal Hungarian-immigrant heritage, and his maternal-missionary heritage. It relates to his father's boyhood home-a boxcar on a siding in Regina, Saskatchewan-from which came his father's many stories and life's lessons, which is the theme of Dr. Varro's book, pictures of his own life, struggles, victories, and detours along the way. The journey takes us through his international childhood in Alaska, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and five states of the U.S. He graduated from Morrison Academy, a Taiwan missionary boarding school; he also graduated from Seattle Pacific University, where he met and married Margo Moore, his accompanist-now his wife of fifty-six years. The story goes on with their own radio and TV missionary work, and teachers at Taipei American School in Taiwan; it continues with the birth of their daughter in Taiwan, and an around-the-world trip through Asia and Europe; then back to Seattle at the University of Washington-earning a Masters of Music, and Doctor of Music Arts in Choral Conducting degrees. He taught elementary, middle school, high school, and college music in Taiwan, Seattle, Oregon, Ohio, and Texas. After fifteen years as teacher and college music professor, Dr. Varro held music positions in churches, and founded two community music ensembles. Following times of spiritual struggle and renewal, he graduated from Houston Graduate School of Theology with Masters of Divinity, Masters of Arts in Counseling, and Doctor of Ministry in Pastoral Counseling degrees. He trained and was Staff Counselor at Samaritan Counseling Center in Houston. He founded Varro Counseling, spending the next twenty-two years in pastoral counseling, free-lance music, prison, and retreat ministries, as an ordained minister, in first the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, then the United Methodist Church, and finally the Global Methodist Church. The last two books outline his spiritual struggle and renewal before ordination. He and Margo are parents of Shelley, born in Taiwan; Steve, born in Oregon; and Rob, born in Ohio; they have five grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. He and Margo have lived in Houston, Texas, for thirty-nine years.

Most of us are untrained in caring for a family member. Caregiving should be considered a life event like getting married, having children, establishing a career, and planning for retirement.

Humanity possesses a variation in morality or worldview, created by evolution to allow man to adapt to different ecosystems. In the primitive world, finding consensus between those views was the method of resolving disputes. Once cities emerged, local and central governments assumed power over moral decision-making and made rules for an entire society. Later, the Enlightenment reopened individual morality as expressed by political parties, but today, those political parties represent tribes with radically different ideologies. Tribalism threatens to destroy the American political system because there is no consensus regarding the political morality of the United States. Tribalism impedes the federal government's operation because the political parties fight rather than negotiate. Ultimately, the American political system will fall if its people cannot overcome their tribal obsession.
