New York Times Bestseller! From the man who became Pope Francis, Jorge Mario Bergoglio shares his thoughts on religion, reason, and the challenges the world faces in the 21st century with Abraham Skorka, a rabbi and biophysicist. For years Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Argentina, and Rabbi Abraham Skorka were tenacious promoters of interreligious dialogues on faith and reason. They both sought to build bridges among Catholicism, Judaism, and the world at large. On Heaven and Earth, originally published in Argentina in 2010, brings together a series of these conversations where both men talked about various theological and worldly issues, including God, fundamentalism, atheism, abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, same-sex marriage, and globalization. From these personal and accessible talks comes a first-hand view of the man who would become pope to 1.2 billion Catholics around the world in March 2013.

"The Golden Horse by Juan David Morgan is a sweeping saga, painting a vivid, personal portrayal of the events that transpired as a result of the rivalry between New York shipping magnates, William Aspinwall and Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the enormous personal cost that was borne by the people involved in the construction of the Panama Railroad-- the first transcontinental train in the Americas-- built during the California Gold Rush. Thousands of people died during the construction, succumbing to tropical diseases and natural disasters. Despite the danger, the lust of gold fever and the challenge of conquering the wilderness drove the men through the perils of torturous journeys, cutthroat competition, ruthless outlaws, savage jungles, the ferocious extremes of the tropical frontier, and violent cultural clashes, but not without the thrill of romantic adventures, the wonder of human inventiveness, and rugged determination to succeed."--Amazon.com

Believe in yourself. Trust yourself. Regain your voice and power. You are truly worth it. Imagine being sick your entire life and not knowing what's wrong. Your brain is constantly in a fog. You have trouble making decisions and knowing what's right. You have no energy. You eat nothing and gain weight. You are locked away, verbally abused. Every day is like a bad dream. But this isn't a nightmare-this is Aily Carranza's life. From a young age, Aily knew she was different. She spoke to the angels that surrounded her and guided her, and she had a special ability to understand others. But toxic forces in her life kept her earth-bound like a caterpillar, preventing her from reaching her true potential. An innocent mind poisoned by verbal and emotional abuse destroyed Aily's spirit, and Hashimoto's disease that went undiagnosed and untreated for decades destroyed her body. Her father's murder and an abusive marriage kept her trapped in a cycle of pain. Still, Aily strived to understand-what was wrong with her body, why was she always in a fog, and why could she never seem to do right? But every caterpillar eventually turns into a butterfly. For nearly four decades, Aily crawled through life, filled with fears and insecurities. Finally, with the help she needed, she was able to nurture and heal-finally understanding that self-care does not mean being selfish-and released old fears and wounds one by one. This is the story of Aily Carranza, the Golden Butterfly, and how she escaped a life of hell and is living Heaven on Earth.
