Un evocador estudio sobre el imaginario que rodea a las nubes en la historia de la mística medieval y su influencia en el arte moderno.Mirar las nubes. Imaginar. ¿Quién no ha visto formarse en ellas extrañas figuras, rostros o animales monstruosos que se van deshaciendo para generar otras formas nuevas? Las nubes han sido siempre un soporte elemental, como decia Andre Breton, que ha estimulado la imaginacion. En la Edad Media formaban parte de las imagenes negativas, junto a las tinieblas o la noche, porque impedian ver a Dios; eran una invisibilidad que expresaba la supraesencialidad divina mas alla de toda afirmacion reductiva. En la modernidad, las nubes, esas maravillosas nubes en el verso de Baudelaire, han continuado incitando nuestras facultades visionarias y creando imagenes fantasticas, segun puede apreciarse en textos como el de Thomas de Quincey. Los estudios sobre ellas en el paisajismo de los siglos XIX y XX resultan fascinantes, tanto como en los analisis meteorologicos; manchas que encontramos en la historia del arte, desde las obras de Meister Francke o Andrea Mantegna en el siglo XV, hasta las de Johann Georg von Dillis, Eugene Boudin o Andre Kertesz.

For those who had the opportunity to encounter nineteenth-century pastor Charles H. Spurgeon personally, what many noticed was that he was a man of prayer. For Spurgeon, prayer was as constant and natural as breathing. Prayer was not only the breath of the soul, but also the breath of the church. Through prayer, the church was reminded of her constant dependence on God. Spurgeon not only urged his people to pray, but he also taught them to pray.Breath of the Soul is a daily reminder to get your head above water and breathe again. Spurgeon understood the importance of prayer, and in our pragmatic, distracted age, we need to hear his instruction again. His teachings provide both a theology and a practical instruction of prayer. These devotions also focus on confession, supplication, and thanksgiving, and encourage readers to persevere in prayer.

In an early-church era filled with temptations toward compromise and confusion, Timothy and his fellow believers faced mounting pressure to loosen their grip on the gospel.

With the relentless pace of modern life, we have become accustomed to high mobility, near-constant change, and a rampant sense of restlessness. Finding any sense of rest seems impossible. Drawing from Scripture, personal anecdotes, and practical wisdom, Joseph explores the roots of our internal agitation and points to the Source of true rest. She invites readers to move beyond the worlds definition of rest such vacations and self-help strategies to cultivate rhythms of renewal that align with Gods design.Made to Rest begins by examining the sources of our restlessness (control, satisfaction, and self-righteousness) before exploring the biblical concept of rest from both theological and practical perspectives. God created us for rest that comes from a right relationship with him, and he lovingly commands us to live with Sabbath rhythms. In a world offering us fragile peace, Christ offers his followers peace that passes understanding. In a world that never stops, believers have a ready refuge in their Redeemer.With actionable steps to help busy readers incorporate rest into their daily routines, Made to Rest provides a foundation for understanding rest as a gift from God, not just a break from work, and offers hope that will resonate with readers struggling with exhaustion, anxiety, and spiritual restlessness.
