The Spirit of the Volunteer is a journey of a Peace Corp Volunteer (PCV) who searches for that "one thing" to help a small community improve their lives. Beginning with the initial in-country language and cultural training center in Pantoja, Santo Domingo, R.D. to the actual project site within an urban pueblo of la Provincia de Peravia. This is a raw and daily account of one volunteer's service to help find change within a pueblo he came to serve. "Americans are volunteering for service organizations in record numbers, and the trend seems destined to continue with the rise of idealistic young millennials and Generation Xers. But idealistic volunteers must enter realistic social systems to make a difference, and that experience can often overwhelm them. The book reveals the actual journal of a Peace Corp volunteer in the 1990s who served a rural community in the Dominican Republic, and it hopes to convey a credible account of what it really takes to be a volunteer in our world today and tomorrow. It is transparent in its sharing of the hopes and fears, successes and failures, and the positives and negatives regarding both the community served as well as the community of volunteers who came to serve."Michael R. Carey, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Organizational Leadership School of Leadership Studies, Gonzaga University

LA PRÁCTICA ESPIRITUALDel esfuerzo y del no-esfuerzo> Tras sus estudios en medicina y psiquiatría, en respuesta a un despertar del cuestionamiento existencial, Jean-Marc Mantel tuvo un primer encuentro con la metafísica, después con los escritos de Krishnamurti, Ramana Maharshi y finalmente Jean-Klein, con quien estudió el conocimiento del Sí mismo, la transcendencia de la mente y los enfoques sutiles del yoga. Ahora se dedica a la transmisión de estos enfoques. Este libro es una parte de esta enseñanza que se sitúa entre dos realizaciones: la realización de la ilusión del yo, inestable como un sueño, y la realización de la realidad del Sí Mismo, y la realidad de la mirada, siempre presente. Ciertamente, esta obra tiene la apariencia de un camino espiritual a seguir. La enseñanza de Jean-Marc Mantel invita continuamente al cuestionador, a volver su mirada desde el mundo percibido hacia aquello que lo percibe, desde el pensamiento al no-pensamiento, desde el personaje que creemos ser, a la consciencia testigo que lo contiene.

American Grit is a compelling narrative about racial identity, resilience, and heroism. In 2008, John Suzuki embarks on a poignant journey to Minidoka, one of the ten former U.S. concentration camps authorized by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, where tens of thousands of American men, women, and children were incarcerated solely because of their race. Here, he encounters a remarkable testament of bravery - an Honor Roll listing the names of Japanese American men who volunteered from Minidoka to enlist and fight in the U.S. Army, while their families remained imprisoned by the U.S. Army. Inspired by this unparalleled act of courage, Suzuki sets out to tell the story of Shiro "Kash" Kashino, a man who was incarcerated at Minidoka and later emerged as an American war hero in the 442nd Regimental Combat Team of the U.S. Army. Despite learning of Kash's death in 1997, the author remains undeterred and, collaborating with Louise Kashino, his beloved widow, weaves an unforgettable tale of courage, perseverance, and love during a dark chapter in American history.American Grit is not just Shiro's story but is also a stark reminder of ruinous hardships endured by over 122,000 victims of American concentration camps while celebrating their heroism during and after World War II. As Suzuki delves into this profound and transformative journey, he invites readers to reflect on the importance of learning from our history to shape a better future. The book is a tribute to Shiro, Louise, and all of the heroes of the era whose stories of courage and resilience inspire us to honor the past by educating the future.

Do you have trauma from what you've believed about God since childhood?(Hint: You do.)Think about it. You might not even realize it....It isn't just you....You are not alone. This book offers a page-turning look at a rarely discussed saga laced throughout the Bible from beginning to end-the story of inherited generational trauma and how it affected the impressions that the people of the Bible had about their lives and their God. The Bible tells of trauma that has been passed down to you. Some 3,000 years before the advent of modern psychology, which would identify childhood trauma as one of the primary causes of mental illness, the first authors of the Bible began to write a saga in which they collectively told the story of familial trauma, and how that trauma is passed down from parent to child over many generations. Today, this is referred to as inherited generational trauma. But, without the benefit of any knowledge of DNA or modern psychology, the biblical authors were able to observe how certain negative traits were passed down from parent to child across many generations. Of course, they didn't identify this phenomenon as being of psychological origin. They viewed this as the sins of the fathers which were passed down "upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." The first impressions of God in the Bible came primarily from two men-Abraham and Moses. This is the Abrahamic/Mosaic God described throughout the first five books of Moses-best known as the Torah. The Abrahamic/Mosaic God instilled fear in people by flooding the whole world, inflicting plagues, and otherwise expressing his anger. In fact, the Bible tells us that Moses reluctantly did what God wanted him to do because Moses was afraid of making God angry. And at one point, the Abrahamic/Mosaic God "sought to kill Moses." For better or worse, the Abrahamic/Mosaic God would set the template for how God would be perceived by more than half the world for thousands of years. Have the teachings about this God traumatized most of the world throughout history? Is the human condition filled with anger, violence, and trepidation precisely because of the widespread belief in an angry, jealous, and vengeful God? Is your life filled with depression, anxiety, and fears because of your belief in an angry and vengeful God who doesn't love you? In this book, the author proposes three things: (1) That generational trauma exists in this world largely due to the fact that over half the world's population belongs to a culture that professes belief in the trauma-inducing portrayals of, and stories about, God; (2) that the Bible authors themselves keenly observed the existence of generational trauma, which they referred to as "the sins of the fathers passed down to the third and fourth generation," providing specific examples of the effects of generational trauma; and (3) that the gospel of Jesus tackled the issue of generational trauma head on in an attempt to end its vicious cycle. These questions are discussed and explored in this book. It may contain the answers that you need. The questions and observations in this book are relevant to everyone, whether religious or not. None of us is immune to the effects of inherited generational trauma, or the fallout from whatever impressions we may have learned about God when we were children. The author offers this book in the hopes that it may be helpful to his readers, that it would provide some eye-opening answers for them in an insightful way, and that they would consider his book to be informative, entertaining, and readable.
