Arthur Blake, Pastor of Parkville United Methodist Church, has to deal with the afteref-fects of a traumatic communion incident. He works to assist the authorities in investigat-ing the cause while doing his best to convince members of his congregation that it is safe to return to church. Working with the police and federal agencies, he discovers that the terror of the initial event is minor compared with the potential chaotic impact of future disasters being planned by the perpetrator, a hidden assailant planning sinister operations. Arthur works closely in the investigative process with Parkville Police Chief Bobby Andrews, County Medical Examiner Irma Custis, plus the married team of Penny and Joe Gonzalez, principal agents for a covert government agency. Together they seek to unmask the perpetrator and decipher his plans before they can be consummated. Formerly homeless veterans become an adjunct to the church community and contribute many valuable insights. The investigation is interwoven with several successful and failed romances that affect the final outcome.

La ciencia revela cómo la meditación transforma la mente, el cerebro y el cuerpo.En los últimos veinte años, la meditación y la atención plena se han convertido en una especie de solución para todo, tanto para bajar de peso como para mejorar las relaciones personales o para lograr mayor eficiencia. Pero, ¿qué hay de realidad en esto? ¿De qué manera se distorsionan datos para vender métodos de entrenamiento mental? ¿Qué pueden ofrecernos verdaderamente las técnicas de meditación? ¿Cómo obtener el mayor beneficio para nuestra mente, nuestro cerebro y nuestro cuerpo?.En este libro se describen las investigaciones más avanzadas sobre el tema, que aplicadas a desarrollar una variedad más amplia de prácticas permitirán lograr los mejores resultados. No obstante, para alcanzar ese altísimo nivel de transformación positiva no bastan pequeñas dosis diarias de meditación. Es necesaria una dedicación prolongada, que incluye ingredientes fundamentales -como la guía experta de un maestro y una actitud de menor apego al "yo"- que las versiones de entrenamiento mental más difundidas pasan por alto. Con el objetivo de erradicar las falsas ideas y la neuromitología, Daniel Goleman y Richard Davidson nos muestran que -más allá de los estados placenteros que los ejercicios mentales provocan- el auténtico resultado beneficioso de estas prácticas reside en que de ellas pueden surgir rasgos perdurables de la personalidad. Y nos invitan a imaginar qué sucedería si, transformando nuestra mente, mejoraran no solo nuestra salud y nuestro bienestar, sino también los de nuestra comunidad y los del mundo entero.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONTwo New York Times–bestselling authors unveil new research showing what meditation can really do for the brain.In the last twenty years, meditation and mindfulness have gone from being kind of cool to becoming an omnipresent Band-Aid for fixing everything from your weight to your relationship to your achievement level. Unveiling here the kind of cutting-edge research that has made them giants in their fields, Daniel Goleman and Richard Davidson show us the truth about what meditation can really do for us, as well as exactly how to get the most out of it.Sweeping away common misconceptions and neuromythology to open readers’ eyes to the ways data has been distorted to sell mind-training methods, the authors demonstrate that beyond the pleasant states mental exercises can produce, the real payoffs are the lasting personality traits that can result. But short daily doses will not get us to the highest level of lasting positive change—even if we continue for years—without specific additions. More than sheer hours, we need smart practice, including crucial ingredients such as targeted feedback from a master teacher and a more spacious, less attached view of the self, all of which are missing in widespread versions of mind training. The authors also reveal the latest data from Davidson’s own lab that point to a new methodology for developing a broader array of mind-training methods with larger implications for how we can derive the greatest benefits from the practice.Exciting, compelling, and grounded in new research, this is one of those rare books that has the power to change us at the deepest level.
