Dos hombres labran su destino en el juego oscuro e inmisericorde de la política mexicana. Después de varios años al servicio del senador Óscar Luna, Julio Rangel quiere mostrarle su valía. Las elecciones se aproximan y, con ellas, la oportunidad de seguir trepando la pirámide del poder. Nada lo detendrá. Por su parte, Martín Ferrer ha estado por mucho tiempo obsesionado con el senador. Una vieja disputa familiar impulsa sus deseos de venganza y reivindicación. Las vidas de Julio y Martín se encuentran en una encrucijada que no sólo los confronta entre sí, sino consigo mismos. Con una prosa ágil y sólida, en esta novela discurren en paralelo dos vidas y dos historias familiares sobre un solo escenario: la selva del poder. ¿Sirve de algo la justicia, el periodismo honesto, la verdad y el amor en ese mundo de excesos, vicios y humillaciones? En Tenebra se revela con crudeza la podredumbre de un sistema --un modo de ser-- fundado en dos máximas únicas: el interés propio y el uso del prójimo. Daniel Krauze recrea en Tenebra no solo la realidad de un país carcomido por la corrupción, sino el drama más amplio de una sociedad sin valores y a la deriva, retratando la crisis del hombre contemporáneo, una crisis que no tiene fronteras ni perspectivas de solución. Daniel Krauze recrea en Tenebra no solo la realidad de un país carcomido por la corrupción, sino el drama más amplio de una sociedad sin valores y a la deriva. Two men carve their destiny in the dark and merciless game of Mexican politics. After several years at the service of Senator Óscar Luna, Julio Rangel wants to show him his worth. With the elections approaching, the opportunity to continue climbing the ladder of power also arises. Nothing will stop him. On the other hand, Martín Ferrer has long been obsessed with the senator. An old family dispute fuels their desire for revenge and vindication. Julio and Martín's lives are at a crossroads that confronts them not only with each other, but with themselves. With an agile and solid prose, in this novel, two lives and two family stories run in parallel on a single stage: the jungle of power. Is justice, honest journalism, truth and love of any use in this world of excesses, vices and humiliations? In Tenebrous, the rottenness of a system is crudely revealed as a way of existence, founded on two unique core ideas: self-interest and using others. Daniel Krauze recreates in Tenebrous not only the reality of a country eaten away by corruption, but the broader drama of a society without values and adrift, portraying the crisis of contemporary men, a crisis that has no borders or prospects for a solution. Daniel Krauze recreates in Tenebrous not only the reality of a country eaten away by corruption, but the broader drama of a society without values and adrift.Shipping Notes

A must read for any pastor or spiritual leader
Format: Paperback
This book is profoundly insightful and easy to read and understand. It is not heavily theological (and does not need to be). It is practical. I have purchased an additional copy to give my pastor for his birthday. If he has already read it, he can pass it on. EVERY pastor needs to read this and practice these tips, which many do not receive in seminary. THIS is the type of pastor I want and need (and my pastor does embody much of what Peterson describes). I think pastors should read this every year or two to reassess their progress toward keeping these goals always in mind and in practice as much as possible.

A still timely writing for all pastors
Format: Paperback
Although first published 25 years ago, Peterson addresses a matter that is still timely, the need for all pastors to commit themselves to prayer, reading scripture and spiritual direction. These, Peterson asserts, are an essential foundation for all other aspects of ministry. Peterson's premise, that many pastors have abdicated their primary calling to these three practices, is still very relavent to the current state of pastoral ministry. Its content will be useful for new and veteran pastors alike.

Transformative if you are willing.
Format: Kindle
The triangle of pastoral ministry
- Scripture - Prayer - Spiritual Direction is reckoned as sever lack in our pastoral lives. Peterson is a needed sage in the realm of modern evangelicalism.

A Personally Challengiing Read
Don’t expect Rosaria Butterfield to coddle sin. She acknowledges the Biblical truth that we are at war with it. It is evil. Lies are rampant with it. The Bible’s solution is to kill it, nailing it to the cross of Christ. If we don’t, it will do great and lasting harm. That is the background premise of this book.
This book is for believers in Jesus Christ, especially those who identify as Evangelicals. Others may benefit by reading its pages, but I suspect that most of them will not be able to persevere through it because today’s culture is just not willing to sit through this much proclamation of Bible truth. They will react, not respond. Believers will be convicted, encouraged, and edified.
Butterfield’s style is plain, but today’s culture requires her to address and to use terminology that may be challenging to many readers. It was for me. Add a level of abstraction for some challenging spiritual truths. Add the fact that she is an intellectual dealing with cultural and theological subjects. It is mostly college level reading, except for the story parts.
Butterfield has credentials. A professor of English at Syracuse University, she was ten years in the Lesbian community with a mate. She was found by Christ, began to grow in Him, was discipled by faithful church women, met a wonderful man, was married to him--a Presbyterian pastor—became a mother, and began to minister to college students from a Christian perspective. She tells some of her story and the stories of others in the pages of the book. It is fascinating reading.
The book is organized around the five lies that Butterfield has chosen to expose, with two to four chapters dealing with each. She acknowledges that there are others that could be exposed as well. The last one, about our culture's attitude toward modesty, was the most surprising to me.
The book also has a Foreword by Kevin DeYoung, a Preface, and an Introduction. Don’t skip them. The Foreword is nothing short of a good sermon that should be shared in every church in America. In the Preface Butterfield spills the beans, revealing exactly where she stands on key topics and to whom she is addressing this volume. The Introduction is engaging and lengthy and pretty much summarizes the rest of the book.
Along the way Butterfield deals with homosexuality, changing gender, male leadership in the home and in church, the bedrock importance of repentance, progressive sanctification, intersectionality, “gay Christianity” (Side A and Side B), feelings and truth, empathy and sympathy, submission of the wife, feminism, inerrancy, envy and biblical contentment, suffering, modesty and exhibitionism, and even worship.
She quotes scripture, sometimes at length, and she gives copious Bible references. She also has footnotes, some of which are as interesting as the text. She names and uses or responds to contemporary authors on the topics at hand.
She gives solid directions for those dealing with contemporary issues. She also has suggestions for dealing with family members beset by these matters including a question-and-answer section. Page 301.
I recommend this book for all Christian leaders and for believers who want to understand contemporary challenges for the church from our modern culture.
