To mark the long history of Dominican involvement in defence of human rights, in the year celebrating the 800th anniversary of the confirmation of the Order of Preachers, two hundred Dominican brothers, sisters and laity met in Salamanca, Spain, to discuss the contribution of the Dominican Order, in the past, present and future, in the promotion and defence of human rights. It was in that city in the sixteenth century that, prompted by his Dominican brothers, such as Bartolome de las Casas, who were defending the indigenous people of Latin America against the Spanish conquistadores, Francisco de Vitoria planted the seed of today's international human rights movement. This volume presents in original languages the eleven papers given in Salamanca as well as the statement adopted by the delegates at the end of the meeting. They combine historical views, theoretical insights and testimonies from life experience. This offers a rich contribution, not only towards strengthening the role of the Dominican Family, and even the universal church, in defending human rights, but also towards a deeper understanding of 'evangelisation' and 'mission'.

A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier’s life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist people with disabilities. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being–until Luis. Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other’s souls.

¿Cómo la gente en la biblia adoraba a su Creador? ¿Cómo Él respondió a ellos? Conectándose a la adoración verdadera contesta estas preguntas e identifica las ventajas que el Dios amoroso da cuando Él responde. Descubran el poder de transformación de la adoración. Trágicamente por desgracia, muchas personas hoy en día viven sus vidas privadas de las bendiciones que vienen de una vida de adoración a Dios Todopoderoso. Afortunadamente hay un remanente de creyentes que habitualmente disfrutan de este aspecto de su vida cristiana. Este libro puede proveer algo de inspiración adicional a esas personas, pero ese no era el propósito primordial. En lugar de eso, este libro identifica los beneficios de la adoración para aquellos que no la practican habitualmente. Es la esperanza del autor de que el lector desarrolle una vida consistente de adoración después de que termine de leer este libro. El libro también proporciona un conocimiento profundo para los líderes de adoración y pastores concerniente a la adoración.
