Starete di certo pensando che se sono consapevole di tutto questo, allora perché rimango? Perché lo amo, penso, perché siamo una famiglia, perché insieme abbiamo costruito molto, perché credo di avere bisogno di lui, perché mi sento persa senza di lui, perché non so fare nulla, perché dove andrei e per far cosa? Perché non so né come né da dove iniziare... E perché ho paura, paura di ciò che potrebbe fare, perché mi aggrappo ai bei ricordi, perché credo e spero che ce ne saranno altri e perché spero che un giorno cambierà... (..)”

Perdido en el Señor
by Richard G ChaberCaminas sin rumbo y perdido en un bosque interminable lleno de belleza, oscuridad y desesperación, y encuentras un bote de pesca averiado. Estás extremadamente cansado de intentar conseguir el camino que te conduzca a la salida, así que te refugias en el bote averiado y a medida que observas el sutil empuje del rio corriente abajo, reflexionas sobre si realmente existe una salida y si algún día la encontrarás. Has escuchado que si en realidad encuentras la salida, algo muy especial y esclarecedor sucederá. Una especie de tesoro que te intriga y despierta tu interés, pero el bosque te proporciona algo que puedes ver y sentir, pues no estás seguro si la salida “rendirá sus frutos” como te han prometido. El camino hacia el tesoro luce desalentador, pero tú tienes el mapa y la llave. Billones de personas han oído hablar de Él pero muchos no buscan conocerle. Pronuncian su nombre a diario pero muchos no han hablado con Él, otros hablan con Él con bastante frecuencia. Él produce confusión y a la vez es muy brillante, incluso cuando es odiado, Él ama aún más. Él conoce tus momentos más íntimos y comprende tus dificultades, y espera pacientemente a que le digas “hola”. La ciencia nunca ha podido refutar la existencia de Dios, así que si uno no cree, debe estar abierto a la posibilidad porque Él nos da pruebas de Su existencia todos los días, sin embargo, no las vemos. Los cristianos se han convertido en nuestros peores enemigos y ha llegado el momento de restructurar la palabra de Dios y de hacer que Jesús sea “buena onda” otra vez. Realmente existe un Cielo y contrario a la creencia popular, no hace falta un esfuerzo complicado y agotador para poder entrar. Todos somos seres humanos de carne y hueso y no podemos aspirar a ser como Jesús, tal y como Él claramente lo ha dicho, pues sus formas son más elevadas. No podemos estar a la altura de sus estándares y no se espera que lo estemos. Hay una razón por la que podemos discernir en

Perdono pero no olvido
by Jaime Jaramillo¡Es hora de pasar la página! Se ha demostrado que la falta de perdón es el camino directo, sin escalas, hacia la enfermedad, porque cuando se piensa de manera negativa, el cerebro segrega toxinas que actúan sobre el organismo y genera un estrés fisiológico que afecta el sistema nervioso. En el momento en que se perdona, la presión arterial, el sistema inmune, la depresión y la ansiedad comienzan a mejorar de inmediato. Esto nos confirma que el perdón es la vía más rápida hacia la sanación, y aunque miles de personas lo entienden, pocas saben cómo perdonar realmente. Cuando uno aprende a quitarle al pensamiento el poder que proviene del subconsciente, encargado de enviarle al sistema nervioso central la señal de sufrimiento, puede recordar sin dolor, sin sed de venganza. Entonces, es posible perdonar. Es por todo esto que el perdón, más que un regalo que les hacemos a los demás, es un regalo que cada quien se entrega a sí mismo. Así lo revela Jaime Jaramillo, autor del éxito mundial en ventas Te amo... pero soy feliz sin ti, en este enriquecedor y útil libro. Perdono pero no olvido es un manual simple y poderoso, que te dará herramientas fáciles de aplicar en tu vida para que puedas dejar atrás aquello que no te deja vivir en paz, te hace enojar, te mantiene con los niveles de estrés al máximo y amenaza con enfermarte, para comenzar una vida con felicidad y plenitud.
Perdu dans le Seigneur
by Richard G ChaberVous errez, perdu dans une forêt sans fin, pleine de beauté, d'obscurité et de désespoir, et vous tombez sur un bateau de pêche en panne. Vous êtes extrêmement épuisé à force d'essayer de trouver le chemin qui vous permettra de sortir, alors vous vous réfugiez sur le bateau en panne et, tout en regardant la subtile rivière pousser en aval, vous vous demandez s'il existe vraiment une issue et si vous la trouverez un jour. Vous avez entendu dire que si vous trouvez la sortie, quelque chose de très spécial et d'éclairant vous attend. Une sorte de trésor qui vous intrigue et éveille votre intérêt, mais la forêt vous fournit quelque chose que vous pouvez voir et ressentir, car vous n'êtes pas sûr que la sortie sera vraiment "payante" comme promis. Le chemin vers le trésor semble intimidant, mais c'est vous qui détenez la carte et la clé. Des milliards de personnes ont entendu parler de lui, mais beaucoup ne cherchent pas à le connaître. Vous dites son nom tous les jours mais beaucoup ne lui ont jamais parlé, d'autres lui parlent très souvent. Il est déroutant et pourtant si brillant, et même lorsqu'il est détesté, il aime encore plus. Il connaît vos moments les plus intimes et comprend vos luttes, et attend patiemment que vous lui disiez bonjour. La science n'a jamais réfuté l'existence de Dieu, alors même si l'on ne croit pas, il faut être ouvert à cette possibilité car Il nous montre son existence tous les jours, mais nous ne la voyons pas. Les chrétiens sont devenus nos propres pires ennemis et il est temps pour nous de restructurer la parole de Dieu et de rendre Jésus à nouveau cool. Il y a vraiment un paradis et, contrairement à la croyance populaire, il ne faut pas un effort élaboré et épuisant pour y entrer. Nous sommes tous des humains de chair et les voies de Jésus ne sont pas nos voies, comme il le dit clairement, car ses voies sont plus élevées. Nous ne pouvons pas nous conformer à ces normes et nous ne sommes

Perfect Daughters: Adult Daughters of Alcoholics
by Robert AckermanThis new edition of Perfect Daughters, a pivotal book in the ACoA movement, identifies what differentiates the adult daughters of alcoholics from other women. When this groundbreaking book first appeared over ten years ago, Dr. Ackerman identified behavior patterns shared by daughters of alcoholics. Adult daughters of alcoholics—"perfect daughters" —operate from a base of harsh and limiting views of themselves and the world. Having learned that they must function perfectly in order to avoid unpleasant situations, these women often assume responsibility for the failures of others. They are drawn to chemically dependent men and are more likely to become addicted themselves. More than just a text that identifies these behavior patterns, this book collects the thoughts, feelings and experiences of twelve hundred perfect daughters, offering readers an opportunity to explore their own life's dynamics and thereby heal and grow. This edition contains updated information throughout the text, and completely new material, including chapters on eating disorders and abuse letters from perfect daughters in various stages of recovery, and helpful, affirming suggestions from Dr. Ackerman at the end of every chapter. This book is essential for every one who found validation, hope, courage and support in the pages of the original Perfect Daughters, as well as new readers and every therapist who confronts these issues. Also includes: a comprehensive reference section and complete index.
Perfect Endings: A Conscious Approach to Dying and Death
by Robert SachsWritten with lucidity and compassionate understanding, Perfect Endings shows how the death experience is an expansion into a wider dimension of our core being. As we move through our dying process, all the strength and wisdom we have gained in a lifetime is called forth. This is a time of quickening in which the final stages of living work themselves out as we step into our death and what lies beyond. No matter how it appears, it is, in fact, our finest hour--our perfect ending. Robert Sachs explains how he uses the Tibetan practice of phowa, or conscious dying, to aid this process in his own counseling practice. Written as a series of stories that allow us to be privy to the inner workings of the dying process of individuals with whom Sachs worked as a professional hospice counselor, each case illustrates a particular aspect of the transformative process that led each person to his or her own interior landscape. Journeying in tandem with these souls, Sachs presents different solutions to the task of letting go of life and provides valuable guidance for caregivers, family members, and those who are facing death themselves.
Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normality of Hating Your Body
by Courtney MartinBased on extensive research and in-depth interviews with women from various socio-economic backgrounds, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters lays bare a stark new world culture of eating disorders, food and body issues that affect virtually all of today's women. Though eating disorders first came to be recognised about 25 years ago, Martin's book shows how the issues surrounding body image have only become more complex, more dangerous and more difficult to treat. The current 'epidemic' of obesity is simply the flip side of the same coin. Drawing from interviews with sufferers, psychologists, nutritionists, and other experts, Courtney Martin's book reveals a whole new generation of 'perfect girls' who have been conditioned from a young age to over-achieve, self-sacrifice, and hate their own bodies - this, despite being raised by a generation of mothers well-versed in the lessons of feminism. Filled with vivid and often heartbreaking personal stories, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters is both a shocking expos and call to arms, offering hope for a new beginning, one young girl at a time.
Perfect Is Boring (And It Tastes Like Kale): Finding Belonging and Purpose Without Changing Who You Are
by Jess JohnstonWhat if we accepted our struggles and stopped trying to be someone we&’re not? In this poignant, hilarious book, the bestselling co-author of I&’ll Be There (But I&’ll Be Wearing Sweatpants) shares her experiments in finding our way back to each other.Jess Johnston used to feel alone in her mess. Then, in a random burst of courage, she started sharing those insecurities and struggles out loud, and what she found shocked her. Again and again, women replied, &“Me too! I thought I was the only one!&”Women are really hard on themselves. We often believe that if we just &“did better,&” &“worked harder,&” and &“were less messy/flawed/human,&” our lives would be infinitely better and we&’d receive the belonging we crave, but the exact opposite is true. It isn&’t our lack of perfection that isolates us; rather, it&’s our authenticity about our imperfections that brings us together. With honesty, heart, and humor, Johnston takes on the lies she&’s believed and the lessons she&’s learned (and is still learning), including:• if I&’m rejected, I will die. (We won&’t.)• I&’m a junior varsity adult, and the best spot for me is usually the bench. (Nope, we&’ve got to get in there and play.)• my job is to keep people happy and make sure they like me. (Excuse me while I go hide in my closet and have an anxiety attack.)Jess Johnston reminds us that the answers are in us already, in accepting that we&’re a lot—a lot of mess, and a lot of great too.
