Lucius Apuleius, a young man of good parentage, takes a trip to Thessaly. Along the way, amidst a series of bizarre adventures, he inadvertently offends a priestess of the White Goddess, who promptly turns him into an ass. How Lucius responds to his new misfortune, and ultimately finds a way to become human again, makes for a funny and fascinating tale.The Metamorphosis of Apuleius, referred to by St. Augustine as The Golden Ass, is the oldest novel written in Latin to survive in its entirety. Originally written by Lucius of Patrae, this translation by Robert Graves highlights the ribald humor and vivid sense of adventure present in the original. Providing a rare window in to the daily lives of regular people in ancient Greece, Robert Graves' translation of this classic tale is at once hilarious, informative, and captivating.

?Podremos ver tal avivamiento en los Estados Unidos? ?Podremos ver una oleada de establecimiento de nuevas iglesias y campus, y la reproducción del liderazgo? ?Es posible hacer más en el futuro de lo que hemos so?ado en el pasado? Yo creo que sí. - Jeff Leake El viaje de fundar una iglesia es emocionante y gratificante, pero implica más que simplemente trazar un curso para su lanzamiento. En Iglesias multiplicadoras, Jeff Leake abre la puerta a un mundo de opciones disponibles para pastores e iglesias para crecer y reproducir las iglesias. Basándose en su experiencia en la implementación de estos pasos, propone un cambio en el pensamiento para crear un clima para el movimiento de fundación de iglesias. Las Asambleas de Dios hacen que el potencial de multiplicación de iglesias sea aún más viable a través de iglesias afiliadas o PAC, para abreviar.

人生有八苦，生老病死、爱别离、怨憎会、求不得、五阴炽盛。人尽皆知，却看不透，参不透。据传闻，有得道高僧，参悟人生八苦，将其所悟制成桃花笺。若以此笺，将人生八大至苦一一录之，如纵观人生，观之必然有感，或可得大道。后世误传，皆言待桃花笺录齐人生八苦，得以向高僧许一心愿。是以，桃花笺上八苦录变为心想事成的引子。世人愚昧，欲壑难填，不辨花笺真假，不悟八苦，随处刻录，到头来也不过黄粱一梦，半生辛苦皆付之东流。而我，也是那梦中不敢清醒之人。新坑《仙生漫漫》正在连载之中，无毒，欢迎吐槽！
