Amar a la gente que es muy difícil de amar: Transforme su mundo cuando aprende a amar incondicionalmente
by Joyce MeyerEl secreto para amar a la gente que es difícil de amar es amarla de todos modos... Jesús aconseja que &“se amen los unos a los otros. Así como yo los he amado, también ustedes deben amarse los unos a los otros&” (Juan 13:34 NVI). Suena maravilloso, amar a todos como Jesús lo ama a usted. Pero, a menudo, la realidad de vivir de esta manera es más desafiante o puede parecer imposible, porque muchas personas son simplemente difíciles de amar. Probablemente usted sepa esto por experiencia personal. Tal vez sea un compañero de trabajo poco amigable, un vecino entremetido o alguien de su familia o su ex pareja. Y más en estos días, donde las redes sociales y otros medios de internet son fuentes comunes de comunicación hostil. No obstante, Dios quiere ayudarle a amar a los demás como Él lo ama a usted, incluso a quienes son más difíciles de amar. En este libro, Joyce Meyer comparte la sabiduría práctica de la Biblia y sus experiencias personales sobre cómo superar los obstáculos para amar a las personas difíciles. Descubrirá cómo ser un pacificador en circunstancias tensas o incluso volátiles, convertirse en una persona que no se ofende fácilmente, saber cuándo adaptarse a los demás y el secreto para amar como Jesús cuando parece imposible hacerlo. Con la ayuda de Dios, puede convertir las interacciones frustrantes en agradables y traer la paz que apaga el fuego de la contienda cuando estallan las discusiones. No tiene que vivir bajo una nube de intimidación o temor al tratar con personas difíciles, ya sean conocidos o personas cercanas a usted. Cuando aprenda a amar como Jesús, ¡será libre de amar a la gente que es difícil de amar!

The Amateur: The Pleasures of Doing What You Love
by Andy MerrifieldA passionate attack on the tyranny of expertsModern life is being destroyed by experts and professionals. We have lost our amateur spirit and need to rediscover the radical and liberating pleasure of doing things we love.In The Amateur, thinker Andy Merrifield shows us how the many spheres of our lives—work, knowledge, cities, politics—have fallen into the hands of box tickers, bean counters and rule followers. In response, he corrals a team of independent thinkers, wayward poets, dabblers and square pegs who challenge the accepted wisdom. Such figures as Charles Baudelaire, Dostoevsky, Edward Said, Guy Debord, Hannah Arendt and Jane Jacobs show us the way. As we will see the amateur takes risks, thinks the unthinkable and seeks independence—and changes the world.The Amateur is a passionate manifesto for the liberated life, one that questions authority and reclaims the non–team player as a radical hero of our times.
The Amatuers Guide of Golf (Correct Times)
by Liza MolinariQuite simply there are many golf books out there by golf guru’s, and professional golfers. They tell us how to play golf like the professionals, They tell us it’s a game of the mind.Then there’s the correct swing, or the correct stance. I have heard the suggestion, that you should hold a towel wedged between each arm and your sides and as you swing the club, the towels should remain in that position... Don’t get me wrong, there are great books out there, with loads of information but, to be honest, when I took up golf I just wanted to hit the ball! I just wanted to get it up in the air! I just wanted to look like a golfer and not a hacker! I just wanted to want to play again!

Amazed and Confused: When God's Actions Collide With Our Expectations (InScribed Collection)
by Heather ZempelMost people have prayed for something or someone in earnest, seeking God's will, only to be left confused by God's response. Sometimes we ask, "Why would a good God allow bad things to happen to good people?" In Amazed and Confused, Heather Zempel tackles this question head-on by exploring the book of Habakkuk. When the prophet Habakkuk prayed that God would bring change to the backsliding nation of Israel, this issue came to the forefront. Habakkuk begged God for revival and that He would turn the hearts of faithless people back to Him. God's answer to Habakkuk was, "Take a look at the nations and watch what happens! You will be shocked and amazed" (1:5, The Voice). The vision God gave Habakkuk was one of warfare and exile. How do you respond when God answers your prayers in a way that seems out of line with his character and promises? Amazed and Confused proceeds systematically through the book of Habakkuk, exploring the prophet's prayer, God's response, and the prophet's journey from confusion to worship. This interactive Bible study is the perfect choice for those who are hurting and confused about God's responses to their prayers.Features include:Helpful guidance on a question without an easy answerPractical tools for studying the Minor ProphetsEasy-to-understand, accessible language
