Once asked to explain how he had sustained himself over so many years of struggle, Cesar Chavez responded: "I don't think I could base my will to struggle on cold economics or some political doctrine. For me, the base must be faith." In evaluating the life and struggles of Cesar Chavez, one of the most recognized Latino leaders in the United States and the first labor leader to successfully organize and unionize U.S. farm workers, many historians, journalists, and other writers have largely missed one significant factor of his life-his faith and deep spirituality. The Gospel of Cesar Chavez uses the prolific leader's own words to express his profound faith and the way it shaped his life and leadership. Product details Format Paperback | 140 pages ...

This book is in the tradition of the best-selling Dhammapada, a translation with commentary of one of the earliest of the surviving Buddhist texts, which reveals the teachings to be remarkably simple and free of religious trappings. One of the earliest of all Buddhist texts, the Atthakavagga, or Book of Eights, is a remarkable document, not only because it comes from the earliest strain of the literature - before the Buddha, as the title suggests, came to be thought of as a "Buddhist" - but also because its approach to awakening is so simple and free of adherence to any kind of ideology. Instead the Atthakavagga points to a direct and simple approach for attaining peace without requiring the adherence to doctrine. The value of the teachings it contains is not in the profundity of their philosophy or in their authority as scripture; rather, the value is found in the results they bring to those who live by them. Instead of doctrines to be believed, the Book of Eights describes ...

Can average be amazing? A girl challenges herself to become extraordinary in the latest from bestselling author Andrew Clements. Jordan Johnston is average. Not short, not tall. Not plump, not slim. Not blond, not brunette. Not gifted, not flunking out. Even her shoe size is average. She's ordinary for her school, for her town, for even the whole wide world, it seems. But everyone else? They're remarkable. She sees evidence everywhere--on TV, in magazines, and even in her classroom. Tremendously talented. Stunningly beautiful. Wildly gifted. And some of them are practically her age! Jordan feels doomed to a life of wallowing in the vast, soggy middle. So she makes a goal: By the end of the year, she will discover her great talent.

Vor 75 Jahren hat Tolkien die Geschichte von Bilbo und dem Drachenschatz für seine Kinder niedergeschrieben. Und seit dieser Zeit ist Bilbos gefährliche Reise ein Klassiker der Kinderliteratur. Sehr zum Verdruß Tolkiens übrigens: Um den Eindruck eines Kinderbuches zu korrigieren, hat er später vielfach Überarbeitungen vorgenommen. Es war ein schöner Morgen, als ein alter Mann bei Bilbo anklopfte. "Wir wollen hier keine Abenteuer, vielen Dank", wimmelte er den ungebetenen Besucher ab. "Überhaupt, wie heißen Sie eigentlich?" - "Ich bin Gandalf", antwortete dieser. Und damit dämmerte es Bilbo: Das Abenteuer hatte schon begonnen. Product details Format Leather | 400 pages ...

Excerpt from The Proposal of Jesus: The Alexander Robertson Lectures Delivered at the University of Glasgow in the Winter of 1919 Whole lived in the open, accessible to His fel low-men. He was to be found in the Syna gogue, in the market-place, on the street, so that men could say as He went in and out amongst them, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whom we know? We read in one place that Jesus rested wearily on a well. Again we read that at one stage He and His disciples were so busy, so eager and absorbed, that they had not so much as time to take their food. Our Master, said Fisher of Kin claven in 17 33 to a young minister on the day of his ordination, Our Master was a man of toil, and you are being set apart this day to a life Of toil. Our Master so laboured and so gave Of Himself that men looking at Him took Him to be a man of fifty when He was only thirty-two.

The Federalist Papers are a collection of eighty-five articles and essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay in favor of ratifying the United States Constitution. First appearing in 1787 as a series of letters to New York newspapers, this collective body of work is widely considered to be among the most important historical collections of all time. Although the authors of The Federalist Papers foremost intended to influence the vote in favor of ratifying the Constitution, in Federalist No. 1 Hamilton explicitly set their debate in broader political terms. "It has been frequently remarked," he wrote, "that it seems to have been reserved to the people of this country, by their conduct and example, to decide the important question, whether societies of men are really capable or not of establishing good government from reflection and choice, or whether they are forever destined to depend for their political constitutions on accident and force." ...
