Xulon Press. Paperback. New. Paperback. 200 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.5in.This devotional study of the seasons of Advent and Lent will give you new insights into the wonder and glory of these seasons of the Church year. It will serve to evoke your memory and awaken images of your past religious experience. It will restore your soul and stir your remembrance of our Saviors sacrifice. Advent speaks to the souls expectation of the Saviors coming, while lent is a manifestation of his mission and sacrifice. Advent begins the incredible interlude of the Mighty God come in human form to dwell among the people of earth. The Holy Spirit overshadows this grand event and tunes our hearts to the spiritual aura of the advent season. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and moves through the mystery of godliness. Tragedy is inherent in the season of lent. There is the betrayal by Judas, the trial before Pilate, and finally, the crucifixion. But the good news of Easter morning came before the breaking of the day. He is not here, but risen even as he had said. Our faith emerged creative, redemptive, and heroic: We have a Living and Risen Savior. The Rev. Martin A. Recio served 30 years in the Pastoral Office. His degrees include a BA in history from Northwestern College: a BD from San Francisco Theological Seminary; and a JD from Lincoln Law School, Sacramento, California. He and his wife, Lorene, have one daughter, two sons, and seven grandchildren. This item ships from multiple locations.

Dimensions: 8.8in. x 5.9in. x 0.2in.FOLKLORELATINO STUDIES The stories of tragedy and sadness shared by old-timers (viejitos) in Fe y tragedias: Faith and Tragedy in Hispanic Villages of New Mexico are as diverse as the voices behind them. Each bilingual (Spanish and English) account personifies faith, fortitude, compassion, and buoyancy. Without these human attributes, people beset with tragedy would have succumbed to tragedy itself. The high point of interest in this book is not to promote or engage in doom and gloom. Rather, it is to acquaint and educate readers on how humble but strong and devout folks living in isolation-in most cases far removed geographically from an urban environment-coped with tragedy and despair. The net psychological effect of murder, drowning, the Rangers indiscriminate and callous slaughtering of poor peoples cattle, bewitchment, or the quirks of nature (e. g. , baby born with frog features) on the human psyche was profound but not daunting. Tom Chvezs eloquent words in his Preface summed up best the old-timers poignant past when he said, These are real people talking about real lives. They are witnesses to their own history. If the victims of misfortune became heroes in their community, then the aggrieved surely could be categorized as tragic heroes. A more praiseworthy tribute could not be accorded these courageous and remarkable men and women who believed in redemption. For the past 30-plus years Nasario Garca has devoted his life to the preservation of Hispanic language, culture and folklore of New Mexico. He has authoredco-authored 21 books. Among them are-Old Las Vegas: Hispanic Memories from the New Mexico Meadowlands, winner of the Southwest Book Award; and Brujeras: Stories of Witchcraft and the Supernatural in the American Southwest and Beyond, a finalist in the New Mexico Book Awards.
