From Patmos To The Barrio
$27.00
Sanchez’s subject is the power of imperial myths – and the subversive power unleashed when resistance movements take over those myths for their own purposes. Moving from John of Patmos’s inversion of Roman imperial mythology in Revelation 12 to the indigenous appropriation of Spanish symbolism and mythology, in seventeenth-century Mexico, Sanchez then explores the continuing power of the Virgin of Guadalupe (La Guadalupana) to inspire movements for a better society in our own day.
From Patmos to the Barrio reveals new insights into the biblical Apocalypse of John, and the enduring power of its legacy down to the present day, and includes contemporary translations of two important 17th century documents concerning La Guadalupana: Luis Laso de la Vega’s Huei tlamahuioltica and Miguel Sanchez’s Imagen de la Virgen Maria. Also included are images of La Guadalupana in the murals of East Los Angeles.

Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffins Path To God
$14.99Add to cartWe are made for the love of God, and nothing less will ever satisfy us. In his acclaimed bestseller, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning showed us the powerful truth that the divine gifts of love is ever present for us regardless of the state of our lives. Now in this challenging sequel, he turns to our primary obstacle to living fully within this divine love — the lack of “ruthless trust.”
Through rich stories and deep insights, Manning shows us how true and radical trust can transform everything in our lives. No matter where we are on our path of discipleship, he offers encouragement to shed the limitations of fear, shame, and doubt through complete reliance upon God. The way of Ruthless Trust is not an abstract theory; it is that very practical and demanding path that each of us must follow in response to God’s love.
