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

On the plus side, networks provide us with access to a multitude of resources: from aid and assistance to knowledge and norms. But at the same time, the relationships that link people (or not) are also responsible for a range of social ills.

In particular, the book provides cutting-edge insights that readers can deploy to help make things better for themselves, their families and their wider communities.

Ambiguous Loss: Learning To Live With Unresolved Grief
by Pauline BossWhat happens when there is mourning with no closure, when a family member or a friend who may be still alive is lost to us nonetheless? How, for example, does the mother whose soldier son is missing in action, or the family of an Alzheimer’s patient who is suffering from severe dementia, deal with the uncertainty surrounding this kind of loss? <p><p> In this sensitive and lucid account, Pauline Boss explains that, all too often, those confronted with such ambiguous loss fluctuate between hope and hopelessness.

Drawing on her research and clinical experience, Boss suggests strategies that can cushion the pain and help families come to terms with their grief. Her work features the heartening narratives of those who cope with ambiguous loss and manage to leave their sadness behind, including those who have lost family members to divorce, immigration, adoption, chronic mental illness, and brain injury. With its message of hope, this eloquent book offers guidance and understanding to those struggling to regain their lives.
The Ambition Decisions: What Women Know About Work, Family, and the Path to Building a Life
by Hana Schank Elizabeth Wallace"These are the 'know your value' conversations that we need to have. These women--their challenges, choices, and successes--are all of us." --Mika BrzezinskiOver the last sixty years, women's lives have transformed radically from generation to generation. Without a template to follow--a way to peek into the future to catch a glimpse of what leaving this job or marrying that person might mean to us decades from now--women make important decisions blindly, groping for a way forward, winging it, and hoping it all works out.As they faced unexpectedly fraught decisions about their own lives, journalists Hana Schank and Elizabeth Wallace found themselves wondering about the women they'd graduated alongside. What happened to these women who seemed set to reap the rewards of second-wave feminism, on the brink of taking over the world? Where did their ambition lead them?So they tracked down their classmates and, over several hundred hours of interviews, gathered and mapped data about real women's lives that has been missing from our conversations about women and the workplace. Whether you're deciding if you should pass up a promotion in favor of more flex time, planning when to get pregnant, or wondering what the ramifications are of being the only person in your house who ever unloads the dishwasher, The Ambition Decisions is a guide to the changes that may seem arbitrary but are life defining, by women who've been there.Organized by theme, each chapter draws on real women's stories of facing down crisis, transition, and decision-making to illustrate broader trends Schank and Wallace observed. Each chapter wraps up with a useful bulleted list of questions to consider and tips to integrate that will guide women of all ages along the way to finding purpose and passion in work and life.
Ambition Redefined: Why the Corner Office Doesn't Work for Every Woman & What to Do Instead
by Kathryn SollmannIt's time to acknowledge that not all working women are interested in climbing the corporate ladder or securing the corner office. Most want and need flexible, less life-consuming work to accommodate their real lives, and it's not weak, lacking ambition or letting down the sisterhood to pursue professional fulfillment and financial security through less lofty, or headline-making ways.Eye-opening and practical, Ambition Redefined is a welcome alternative to 'women's business books'. Sollmann calls it like it is: everyday women want and need flexible work that allows them to unapologetically pursue their own brand of ambition and success. She shows them how without sacrificing themselves, their careers or their families. Armed with practical insights and tools, readers will be empowered to go after opportunities beyond traditional definitions of work, career and success. They will learn why they should never leave the workforce, how to make a case for flexibility in a current full-time job, how to find flexible employers, industries and job functions and how to return to work after time away raising children or caring for elderly parents.

America, September 11th: The Triumph of the Human Spirit (Call to Action Books)
by Brenda Welchlin Karen FrostTrue stories of compassion, heroism, and kindness in the midst of a historic tragedy.Every tragedy has its heroes, and there were many in the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., on 9/11 and in the difficult days that followed. In this inspiring volume, Jackie Waldman, author of The Courage to Give, has collected the dramatic stories of some of the firefighters, rescue workers, police, medics, relatives searching for missing loved ones, and everyday people who, in the face of horror, sprang into action to save lives and help their communities. From the ASPCA leader who lost a sister that day and went on to lead an effort to rescue abandoned pets from the area, to the music student who went to Ground Zero to play for the toiling rescue workers, these vivid accounts, written in the immediate aftermath, paint a vivid picture of that infamous event—and remind us of what is best in us even in the worst of times.
