Gente que sume: Llene su tanque relacional para la vida, el amor y el liderazgo
by John TownsendLas organizaciones saludables precisan líderes saludables y de óptimo nivel. En un entorno cada vez más complejo y competitivo, los líderes necesitan estar a la vanguardia.Los líderes exitosos entienden el mundo de las relaciones. El “factor gente” es de vital importancia para su competencia y enfoque. Dos problemas ralentizan su eficacia:Los líderes son los “originadores” de la mayoría de sus relaciones; es decir que lideran, guían, dirigen, desarrollan, asesoran, entrenan y alientan a aquellos en sus vidas. Si bien ser originadores beneficia a otros, desafortunadamente están en desequilibrio respecto de ser los “destinatarios” o receptores. Tienen muy pocas relaciones clave que los favorezcan, lo que respalda su crecimiento y desarrollo, y en las que pueden sentirse plenamente conocidos y comprendidos.Los líderes gastan demasiada energía con las personas equivocadas. Por naturaleza, son solucionadores de problemas, y emplean su tiempo y atención en las personas que los desgastan. Todo líder puede identificarse con esa “persona del proyecto” que se ha puesto al hombro para intentar corregir, orientar, ayudar, rescatar o reparar, y en la que a veces desperdician su energía durante años, solo para darse cuenta de que no fue un tiempo bien empleado.Los líderes están patas para arriba en sus relaciones, y este libro los ayudará a pararse derechos, enseñándoles sobre estos siete tipos de personas: coaches, camaradas, colegas, relaciones casuales, de cuidado, crónicas y contaminantes.Todo líder necesita cobrar perspectiva y tener a mano herramientas que le ayuden a saber invertir su tiempo sabiamente con las personas adecuadas y evitar las incorrectas. Con esa comprensión y habilidades, se evitarán muchos problemas en el trabajo y en la vida, como ser un funcionamiento cerebral más bajo, pérdida de energía, conflictos de relación, malas decisiones, problemas de concentración, de salud y luchas mentales.
A Gentle Answer: Our 'Secret Weapon' in an Age of Us Against Them
by Scott SaulsA remarkable vision for how Christians can live with countercultural gentleness in a perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time.Wow! What a great book!" -- Max LucadoIn a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to "turn away wrath?" Scott Sauls's compelling new book shows Christians how to become people of "a gentle answer" in a politically, relationally, and culturally fractured world by helping readers:grow in affection for Christ, who answers our hostility with gentleness;nurture a renewed, softened heart in light of Christ's gentleness toward us;and catch a vision to forsake us-against-them mentalities, put down our swords, and "infect" a hostile world with gentleness.For those who long for a more civil way of being, A Gentle Answer reveals why answering hostility with gentleness is essential, how we can nurture our hearts to do so, and what a gentle answer looks like, both in the church and in the world."A great, highly practical volume that points us to the tenderness of Jesus: 'a bruised reed he will not break'." -- Tim Keller, Pastor Emeritus, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City"Wow! What a great book….

The Gentle Art of Blessing: A Simple Practice That Will Transform You and Your World
by Pierre PradervandHow can a blessing change the world? According to Pierre Pradervand, making the conscious choice to bless every person or being around you can truly make a world of difference in yourself and in others around you. In The Gentle Art of Blessing, Pradervand shows that the practice of blessing has the power to create more than just a renewed perspective. It unleashes tangible benefits throughout your entire life -- through your daily interactions, your life-long relationships, and in the way your approach your place in the world. Pradervand describes blessing as genuinely wishing the best for another person through seeing their individual worth and honoring them for it. By looking at several different perspectives -- providing spiritual inspiration from Hinduism, Taoism, the Koran, the Bible, and other important spiritual sources -- The Gentle Art of Blessing explores the potential in shifting one's attitude from confrontation and negativity to acceptance and enthusiasm. A powerfully simple way of perceiving and shaping our surroundings, blessings can reflect the unconditional love and acceptance that is necessary for world -- and inner -- peace.

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter (The Swedish Art of Living & Dying Series)
by Margareta Magnusson*The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life.In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning &“death&” and städning meaning &“cleaning.&” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you&’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children&’s art projects). Digging into her late husband&’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

George Foreman's Guide to Life
by George ForemanGeorge Foreman knows what it's like to get knocked down -- in the ring and in life -- and he knows how to get back up again. Two-time heavyweight boxing champion of the world, he knows what it takes to succeed. He has a wealth of life experience to share, and in George Foreman's Guide to Life: How to Get Up Off the Canvas When Life Knocks You Down he does just that. Here's what George has to say about: TAKING ADVICE: "The real answers you are looking for are inside of you. The hard part is being able to hear them." BEING AFRAID OF CHANGE: "Be afraid to stay where you are in life. Stepping out...is what makes you good, better, and even the best at what you're doing." GETTING OLDER: "Old age is not something that happens to you; it's a choice you make. You can look in the mirror and cry...or you can look in that mirror...and dream another dream." LEARNING FROM YOUR MISTAKES: "I try to let the past stay where it is and let today speak for itself....Learn from your mistakes but don't be chained to them." DETERMINATION: "There are always others trying to get to the same goal you are, only they decide to stop halfway down the road. And when they walk away, they leave the road paved for you." MARRIAGE: "Let every day be like the first day you fell in love. It's about trying to put your best self forward, not just to others but to the one you've pledged your life to." CHILDREN: "I believe how you teach your kids life's lessons is as important as what you teach them. You've got to love kids into another gear."
George Fox: The Red-Hot Quaker
by Major DouglasThe story of George Fox’s life suffers from two great disadvantages which the reader should always bear in mind.In the first place, the old, strange, stilted language, used by all in his day, makes it difficult for us to feel as much at home with him as we should do. We must remember that even Salvationists in our own days are tempted when they write to give up their simple, everyday language, and to wrap up their thoughts more fashionably. But those who will try to see George Fox, as he so often was to be found, praising the Lord in a stinking prison cell, will be able in spite of his strange words to grasp his glorious meaning.And then we have also to remind ourselves that he had little chance either to observe or to organize any regular and effective warfare. For over a hundred years England had been victimized by religious discussions until the very idea of real worship had been almost lost. No wonder at poor George’s perplexities when his hungry soul began to long for God, and no wonder that the great note of his whole life thereafter was so largely that of avoiding whatever others did. If he could anywhere have seen how singing processions, flags, music, open-air demonstrations could be used in the power of the Holy Ghost to the salvation of the people; and if he could have been allowed to organize accordingly, all England would have been stirred and perhaps delivered at once from the curses of formalism and spiritual death. But it may be that God only granted him light according to what it was then possible to do. He lived a prophet’s life leaving to us in these days of liberty, not a complete description of our duties, but an example of fearless, devoted service, that, alas, but few have ever attempted to follow.

The Georgia Guidestones: America's Most Mysterious Monument
by Raymond Wiley KT PrimeThe Georgia Guidestonesare a collection of standing stones near Elberton, Georgia. Built in 1980, they are primarily composed of six slabs of granite: one central pillar, four "major" stones that fan out from the center, and a capstone. The capstone has engravings on all four of its sides in four different ancient languages, all of which read, "Let these be guidestones to an Age of Reason," when translated. The major stones are each engraved on both sides, and each side contains text in one of eight modern languages asserting the same ten guidelines.Those guidelines have proven extremely controversial, causing speculation and rumors of conspiracy that go far beyond northeast Georgia. Conspiracy theorists surmise a global plot on the part of a group of shadowy men to subjugate and oppress the world's population and create a "new world order." Others believe that the man behind the monument was a Rosicrucian, and that the stones are representative of that group's magical manifesto. Some people even believe that it is a landing site for an alien spacecraft of some kind. At the heart of this confusion is the missing piece of the puzzle: who was the mystery man who started the entire chain of events?
