No Sirvo Para Nada

Quien no use los talentos dados por Dios para el bien del reino, representa la imagen de la sal que ha perdido su sabor. Los siervos sin frutos son un claro ejemplo de esto. Jesús dijo que un siervo improductivo no sirve para nada. Es importante que la sal haga sentir su presencia. Tu comida puede tener sal pero debe tener la cantidad suficiente para que surta efecto. Tú eres la sal de la tierra, ¡así que debes hacer sentir tu presencia en este mundo! ¿No sirves para nada en el reino? Este libro profético sobre la sal y su misteriosa influencia y utilidad profética para el reino de Dios, te permitirá contemplar en profundidad tu utilidad o falta de ella, para Dios. En este libro que invita a la reflexión, aprenderás lo que significa no servir para nada, al analizar y comprender la función de la sal en nuestra vida. ¡Que NO seas alguien que no sirve para nada!

"Escapa a la vejez, que no te alcance en la vida una tumba. Con afan y buenas ganas, y una sonrisa muy sincera, hagamos nuestra vida productiva y solucionemos los dilemas. Encontraremos la verdad que la madurez exuda, con la habilidad que resulta de afrontar todo problema. Caminemos en busca de nuevos horizontes, por la ruta que nos traza la sabiduria y la experiencia, obteniendo nuevos gozos para nuestra corta existencia. Si nos sumimos en recuerdos y si vivimos del pasado, el final de nuestros dias ha llegado, y seremos viejos y cansados y amargados, a pesar de que en optimismo todavia podamos, vivir sin llegar a ser tan viejos."

A provocative nonconformist, Unamuno (1864-1936) excelled in the creation of essays, fiction, poetry, and plays. In La tía Tula, he paints a memorable portrait of the indomitable Aunt Tula, who fulfills her maternal desires on her own terms. This dual-language edition features an informative introduction and ample footnotes.

Aunt Tula (La tia Tula), published in 1921, is one of the few novels written by Miguel de Unamuno to centre on a female protagonist. It is a vivid, nuanced portrait of the intelligent, wilful and yet vulnerable Tula. Despite having no biological children of her own, the unmarried Tula becomes the primary maternal figure for successive generations of children; some related to her, others not. Her chaste maternity is presented as a complex response to her long-held, self-sacrificing romantic love for her brother-in-law, her antipathy for the submissive role expected of bourgeois married women, and Tula's fear of her own physicality. Julia Biggane's translation captures the accessibility of style and richness of literary substance in the original, and the introduction equips the reader with an understanding of the text's wider material contexts and historical significance. Of special interest is the novel's representation of womanhood and maternity, itself inflected by wider social changes in countries across Western Europe and Russia during the first two decades of the 20th century.

Spirit, mind, and heart—in traditional Mexican health beliefs all three are inherent to maintaining psychological balance. For Mexican Americans, who are both the oldest Latina/o group in the United States as well as some of the most recent arrivals, perceptions of health and illness often reflect a dual belief system that has not always been incorporated in mental health treatments. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health offers a model to understand and to address the mental health challenges and service disparities affecting Mexican immigrants and Mexican Americans/Chicanos. Yvette G. Flores, who has more than thirty years of experience as a clinical psychologist, provides in-depth analysis of the major mental health challenges facing these groups: depression; anxiety disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder; substance abuse; and intimate partner violence. Using a life-cycle perspective that incorporates indigenous health beliefs, Flores examines the mental health issues affecting children and adolescents, adult men and women, and elderly Mexican Americans. Through case studies, Flores examines the importance of understanding cultural values, class position, and the gender and sexual roles and expectations Chicanas/os negotiate, as well as the legacies of migration, transculturation, and multiculturality. Chicana and Chicano Mental Health is the first book of its kind to embrace both Western and Indigenous perspectives. Ideally suited for students in psychology, social welfare, ethnic studies, and sociology, the book also provides valuable information for mental health professionals who desire a deeper understanding of the needs and strengths of the largest ethnic minority and Hispanic population group in the United States.
