From 19-year-old debut author Evan Kamriguel, psychological thriller/mystery Carrion & Co. paints a portrait of the different ways people seek meaning and reckon with their brokenness, inside and outside of their minds. Occasionally absurd, sometimes darkly humorous, but always emotionally raw, it explores how the past defines them - and their ensuing struggle to move forward.Troubled by a murky past, arsonist "Professor" Carrion arrives in a gloomy, isolated old town that always rains to defy the Fates and search for answers - especially about the hourglass marking his hand. His seemingly jolly coachman, Winston, however, is much more concerned with the delicate business of saving his soul. Joined by Constable Brauer, an aging drunkard who desperately wants to escape his wife, the pair set out to help an old, tricorn-hat-sporting polygamist, soon realizing a nefarious secret society has its clutches on everything and everyone. As the conspiracy unravels, and the rain ceases, death arrives, forcing them to consider one question: Is there a cost too high for truth?

In this book, we want you to learn how to work with life events that leave traumatic imprints in your body and nervous system so that you can understand how danger, stress, illness, and other past traumas affect your present physical, emotional, and mental well- being, even when experienced before birth. The goal of these chapters is for you to learn first how stress originates. Then, the various defense system responses to danger. Finally, how trauma healing is approached today through the reorganization of those same defense responses. Such reorganization can be achieved through mind-body therapies such as Somatic Experiencing(R) from the revered Dr. Peter Levine, and The Points Holding ProcessTM (PHP) which focuses on dissolving crystallized belief patterns in the body.

Hola. Me llamo Samuel Vega y he vuelto del Otro Lado con dos misiones importantes. La primera es contar algo de vital importancia para la humanidad. Me han permitido volver para desvelarlo, pero no puedo hacerlo yo. He de encontrar a alguien que lo haga por mí y que no desvíe mi atención de la otra misión, la cual no puedo desvelar aquí y ahora. Cuando he vuelto me he encontrado con muchos problemas y con situaciones inesperadas, venganzas del pasado, un asesino en serie y enormes sorpresas y secretos familiares que sería muy largo contar aquí. Creeréis que se trata de algo típico de thrillers sobrenaturales y puede que estéis en lo cierto; sin embargo lo que os voy a contar en La luna triangular es tan cierto como que estáis aquí leyendo esto ahora mismo. Lo que sí os digo es que se puede volver de la muerte y es algo que os demostraré a lo largo de esta historia. Al otro lado de la vida, se orquesta la existencia de la humanidad bajo unas reglas que no podemos imaginar. Probablemente, eso que llamamos destino, no sea tal cual lo entendemos. Os presentaré a Guillermo Suárez, un inspector que se está volviendo loco investigando el caso de los asesinatos en serie y a Saúl Márquez, un periodista incrédulo con objetivos diferentes a los que yo buscaba. Y os preguntaréis qué tienen que ver conmigo y mi conexión con el Otro Lado; tiene mucho que ver. Cuando lo descubráis os quedaréis atónitos. En cuanto a las misteriosas piedras verdes... Bueno, aquí lo dejo. Espero que disfrutéis y que descubráis cosas que nunca habríais imaginado, y que, al terminar la novela, hayáis cambiado vuestro concepto sobre la vida y la muerte. Buena lectura. Samuel Vega.
En la actualidad, ya muy pocos pueden dudar que la Confesión de Fe de Westminster (1647) constituyó uno de los momentos dogmáticos más importantes de la Reforma. En su día, en el siglo XVII, marcó profundamente la enseñanza oficial de otros cuerpos eclesiales, y hasta nuestros días ha sido mantenida como la doctrina oficial en las iglesias reformadas de origen anglosajón, conocidas también como como presbiterianas. Históricamente, el pueblo reformado de habla hispana ha tenido acceso a la Confesión, así como al resto de los Estándares de Westminster, con distintas traducciones de calidad. Sin embargo, apenas se ha hecho un esfuerzo de contextualización de la Confesión en los parámetros propios de la iglesia hispanohablante. Es decir, el reflejar en la traducción al español de la Confesión, usando el lenguaje de la Biblia histórica protestante en español (la Reina-Valera), lo que la Biblia protestante oficial en Inglaterra (la KJV) fue para la Confesión original en inglés. Se presenta una traducción precisa del original inglés, cotejada con la traducción al latín para mayor exactitud en posibles palabras ambiguas. Todo esto, con un lenguaje y estilo que para el lector hispanoparlante tendrá, sin duda, sabor a Biblia.

Europe and its "treaties".Since the end of the 1939-1945 war, the number of "European treaties" has multiplied, but no one has ever analysed the objectives, the means and the flagrant failures suffered by each of them: the 1951 Treaty of Paris (ECSC); Treaty of Rome 1957 (Euratom and EEC), Treaty of Maastricht 1992 (euro area), Treaty of Amsterdam 1997 (big surprises) and the dense TFEU (Treaty of Lisbon 2009).However, if the Maastricht Treaty (1992) allowed High Finance to realize its wildest dreams of "freedom" and "independence", it is not at all a coincidence.They have been written by the same entity since 1930.Already at that time, the worm was in the fruit of the "Treaty of Maastricht". Europe and its wars.>WHY this aggressiveness of Germany against its closest "partners"?With its past military wars.And, since the 1960s, with its economic and financial wars...WHY all these failures of Germany?It has lost all these "great wars".It is now at the forefront of new "war zones".Is this really a coincidence?WHY Germany's resilience in the face of all its failures?How is it that it always came out faster and stronger after the 2nd World War?>Europe under threat.Who pulls the strings of this system that everyone refers to as neoliberalism?>Without these analyses since 1870, no one can explain: WHY is the European Union so unloved?WHY have Member States never been so weak? With Public Deficits and Public Debts now in the bright red?WHY are the European Union and the Euro so threatened?WHY did the United States, China and Russia destroy "our" Europe of the Enlightenment?WHY has this "happy globalization" destroyed us and now threatens us? The Europe of the Enlightenment?>The America of the Freedom? It follows the same path as Rome.She now writes the words "The End" to her outrageous dominance. And yet, the Americans are spying on us and vassalizing us a little more every day.What for?Because our "competent people" want them to! Europe?It is the only region in the world that can "change things"...This is what we are demonstrating...
