Este libro se basa en los principios de gestión del cambio organizacional para examinar la reforma de la Orden Carmelita de Teresa de Ávila en el siglo XVI. Durante los últimos veinte años de su vida, Teresa abordó los problemas que vio en los monasterios carmelitas de su época, incluida la administración ineficaz, el hacinamiento y la laxitud en las prácticas espirituales. Al volver al propósito original y la Regla escrita de los fundadores carmelitas, Teresa lanzó una reforma de la Orden Carmelita utilizando principios similares a los que se aplican en la gestión del cambio y la adopción de tecnología de la información (TI) de la actualidad. Este libro examina su reforma a la luz de la teoría y la práctica de la gestión del cambio, con el fin de arrojar luz sobre lo que hizo que su reforma fuera exitosa y cómo se podría aplicar su enfoque a la gestión del cambio en las organizaciones espirituales y seculares de hoy.

“Para contrarrestar la idea de que los santos y los místicos son ajenos a la vida cotidiana, la Dra. Kristina Olsen, en Principles of Change: Teresa of Avila’s Carmelite Reform and Insights from Change Management muestra a Teresa de Ávila muy implicada en el tratamiento de los problemas relacionales y la resistencia a la reforma en las comunidades carmelitas que fundó. La espiritualidad es una disciplina interdisciplinaria, pero Olsen lleva los estudios de espiritualidad en una nueva dirección al recurrir al campo de la administración de empresas. Lo que surge es una apreciación mucho más rica del talento de Teresa de Ávila, ya que Olsen destaca el talento de la mística para la gestión y la reforma de las organizaciones. La resonancia entre los esfuerzos contemporáneos para motivar a la gente a adoptar las nuevas tecnologías y el enfoque de Teresa para invitar a sus monjas a la reforma es sorprendente. Esta obra innovadora es una importante contribución a los estudios teresianos”. – Raymond Studzinski, O.S.B., Ph.D., Director, Programa de Doctorado en Espiritualidad, Escuela de Teología y Estudios Religiosos, Universidad Católica de América
“Este es un libro sorprendentemente oportuno que nos enseña cómo el conocimiento y la religión han convivido durante siglos. El libro describe convincentemente cómo Teresa utilizó lo que podríamos llamar ‘principios de cambio organizativo’ para realizar cambios importantes en los monasterios carmelitas. Teresa abordó problemas no muy diferentes a los nuestros hoy en día: gestión incompetente, moral laxa, falta de dirección clara. La Dra. Olsen muestra cómo las estrategias que empleó Teresa pueden utilizarse, y se utilizan, para animar a los trabajadores a adoptar y aceptar las nuevas tecnologías. Eso incluye fomentar una actitud favorable tanto a la tecnología como al cambio, viendo los beneficios de adoptar la nueva tecnología. La autora se basa en los estudios sobre el “comportamiento planificado”, la gestión de la resistencia, la innovación y la “aceptación”. La Dra. Olsen conoce su temática. Durante varios años, ha enseñado la espiritualidad carmelita y otras materias en el Colegio y Seminario de los Santos Apóstoles en Cromwell, CT. Sus estudios de Doctorado en Administración de Empresas culminaron con su disertación sobre “El papel de la actitud en la aceptación y adopción de la tecnología de la información”. Principles of Change muestra que el liderazgo, el conocimiento y la espiritualidad pueden ser compatibles. De hecho, pueden ser justo lo que la sociedad necesita hoy en día”. – James P. Gelatt, Ph.D., Profesor, Doctor en Administración de Empresas, Universidad de MD Global Campus

Following an avalanche of spirited criticism from skeptics, agnostics, and atheists, who have provided forceful intellectual attacks against Thomistic philosophy and Catholic apologetics – including objections posed by naturalism and contemporary analytic philosophy, Dr. Bonnette has assembled a collection of his most salient articles containing a reasoned defense of the Catholic faith. These articles are organized within this book into sections that (1) demonstrate the weaknesses of today’s philosophy of naturalism, (2) defend epistemological certitudes and metaphysical universal principles, (3) study man — the unique spiritually-souled animal, (4) prove God’s existence, (5) examine God’s nature, (6) solve the problem of evil, (7) defend natural law ethics, and finally, (8) rationally examine various revealed realities — from Adam and Eve to modern-day miracles. A must-read for Catholics who want reasoned responses to common criticisms of classical theism and their faith.

“This is a joyful, heart-warming story about a horse, Cardelina, who develops a very special relationship with Billy, a boy with special needs. Cardelina notices that Billy’s behaviors are different than those of the other children who attend the horseback riding center. She makes it her goal to help Billy learn to interact with her and with the other children. This story with its beautiful illustrations captures the essence of God’s love for all His precious children.” – Monsignor Kevin J. O’Leary, Rector of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, Boston, Massachusetts
“Pope Francis, in Evangelii Gaudium, calls all of us to… ‘go forth from our own comfort zone in order to reach all the ‘peripheries’ in need of the light of the Gospel.’ In this wonderful story about a child who learns differently and a very perceptive filly named Cardelina, Danielle Mesa shows us how fruitful this vocation to empathy, compassion, and understanding can be… especially with respect to one of the ‘peripheries’ that is all too often overlooked. By way of the innocence, beauty, and humility of the main character, Cardelina, the author has created a powerful and effective witness to the dignity of every person created in the image and likeness of God. And, as Francis reminds us: ‘Jesus, the evangelizer par excellence and the Gospel in person, identifies especially with the little ones.’ (Evangelii Gaudium: Concern for the vulnerable, 209). I hope and pray this gifted author will provide us with more stories featuring the adorable filly… Cardelina; a character that is sure to become a shining star in Christian literature.” – Fr.

What if you knew what God’s will was for your life right now? What if you had the ability to destroy vice, decrease sin, and cause good works and virtue to flourish? What if you could have the light of God and the plentitude of his graces every single day of your life, leading to true peace in your soul? That’s exactly what you’ll get at through this book, which will prepare you for total consecration to Jesus through Mary. It is the most practical, deep, and accessible way toward becoming a closer disciple of Christ and attaining, as St. Paul wrote to the Colossians, “full knowledge of God’s will through perfect wisdom and spiritual insight” (1:9). To make it so, Burdick combines the timeless Marian prayer of the Rosary and intertwined its mysteries with St. Louis De Montfort’s True Devotion, St. Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, and the four Marian Dogmas of her Immaculate Conception, Divine Motherhood, Perpetual Virginity, and her Assumption into Heaven.

“In Rosary Consecration: Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary and Her Most Holy Rosary, T.J. Burdick masterfully weaves together the mysteries of the Rosary with key insights from St. Louis De Montfort’s True Devotion, St. Pope John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter, Rosarium Virginis Mariae, and the four Marian Dogmas. The reader is invited to prayerfully reflect for 33 days on designated brief daily reflections. At the end of the 33 days, total consecration to Jesus through Mary is to take place. Consecration to Our Lady is a source of holiness that many saints have availed themselves of, and in so doing grew in sanctity. Burdick’s creative methodology is well suited to our times so that people of today, like great saints of the past, may readily consecrate themselves to Jesus through Mary and grow in sanctity.” — Fr. Peter Samuel Kucer, MSA, author of A Brief Historical Survey of Marian Devotion and Theology
