The “miracle” cure Egoscue offers is, simply, correct motion.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Organized by the seasons of a woman’s life, ＜strong＞Pain Free for Women＜/strong＞ pays particular attention to age-specific concerns such as puberty, childbirth, and menopause, as well as special issues such as arthritis, PMS, and depression.＜/p＞ ＜p＞At the same time, Egoscue shows how women can build a framework of healthy movement that will prevent illness and maintain pain-free good health throughout the journey of life.＜/p＞ ＜p＞According to Egoscue, reversing the effects of poor musculoskeletal fitness provides astonishing benefits, including:＜/p＞ ＜p＞?Better balance, posture, and breathing, as well as increased resiliency＜br /＞ ?Effective and safe weight management＜br /＞ ?Healthy bone density and visual acuity＜br /＞ ?Heightened sex drive＜br /＞ ?Delayed symptoms of aging＜br /＞ ?Peace of mind and general tranquility＜/p＞ ＜p＞Extensively illustrated to demonstrate proper placement, posture, and movement, ＜strong＞Pain Free for Women＜/strong＞ offers women of every age the possibility of feeling better than ever before.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞With the same passionate scholarship and analytical audacity he brought to the character of God, Jack Miles now approaches the literary and theological enigma of Jesus. In so doing, he tells the story of a broken promise?God’s ancient covenant with Israel?and of its strange, unlooked-for fulfillment. For, having abandoned his chosen people to an impending holocaust at the hands of their Roman conquerors. God, in the person of Jesus, chooses to die with them, in what is effectively an act of divine suicide.＜br /＞ On the basis of this shocking argument, Miles compels us to reassess Christ’s entire life and teaching: His proclivity for the powerless and disgraced. His refusal to discriminate between friends and enemies. His transformation of defeat into a victory that redeems not just Israel but the entire world. Combining a close reading of the Gospels with a range of reference that includes Donne, Nietzche, and Elie Wiesel, ＜strong＞Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God＜/strong＞ is a work of magnificent eloquence and imagination.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。 ※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
