No mires atrás: Liberarse y avanzar con pasión y propósito
by Christine CaineCon un grito de &“Recuerden a la mujer de Lot&”, la profesora de Biblia, conferenciante internacional, activista y autora de best sellers Christine Caine nos motiva a dejar de mirar atrás, a desatascarnos y a seguir avanzando hacia las promesas y el propósito de Dios para nuestras vidas.Hay momentos en la vida en los que miramos hacia atrás y nos sentimos desesperados por hacer que el tiempo se detenga, sobre todo cuando nos sorprenden cambios inesperados. Pero no podemos detener el flujo de la vida, y no podemos detener el tiempo. Es más, mirar atrás no nos permite volver. La mayoría de las veces, solo hace que nos quedemos atascados. En un lugar, en un espacio, en un recuerdo, en una mentalidad, en un hábito.En Juan 17:32, Jesús entrega tres palabras &“Recuerda a la mujer de Lot&”, No sabemos su nombre ni su historia. Todo lo que sabemos es que cuando ella estaba huyendo de Sodoma y Gomorra, le dijeron que no mirara hacia atrás, e hizo lo único que se le pidió que no hiciera. Miró hacia atrás y se convirtió en una estatua de sal y de las 170 mujeres mencionadas en las Escrituras, ella es la única que Jesús nos dijo que recordáramos.En No mires atrás, Christine te motivará a:dejar de mirar hacia atrás y empezar a mirar a Jesúsinvitar a Jesús a entrar para que te ayude a desatascarte de los muchos lugares en los que a menudo nos encontramos;avanzar desde donde te encuentras hacia todos los planes, propósitos y promesas de Dios para tu vida; ymirar hacia el futuro y seguir avanzando hacia él con fe, especialmente cuando tu mundo ya no se parece en nada a lo que era antes.Jesús nos invita a avanzar hacia la novedad de lo que está por venir. Deja de descalificarte quedándote atorado en el pasado. Es hora de recordar a la mujer de Lot y no mirar atrás, sino avanzar con valentía.Don&’t Look BackWith a rallying cry to &“Remember Lot's wife,&” Bible teacher, international speaker, activist, and bestselling author Christine Caine motivates us to stop looking back, to get unstuck and to keep moving forward into God's promises and purpose for our lives.There are times in life when we look back and feel desperate to make time stand still, particularly when we get blindsided by unexpected changes. But we can't stop the flow of life, and we can't stop time. What's more, looking back doesn't enable us to go back. More often than not, it just makes us stuck. In a place. In a space. In a memory. In a mindset. In a habit.In John 17:32, Jesus drops three little words: &“Remember Lot's wife.&” We don&’t know her name, history, or story. All we know is that when she was fleeing Sodom and Gomorrah, she was told not to look back, and she did the one thing she was asked not to do. She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. And out of the 170 women referred to in the Scriptures, she's the only one Jesus told us to remember.In this new book, Christine will motivate you tostop looking back and start looking to Jesus;invite Jesus in to help you get unstuck from the many places we often find ourselves;move on from where you are into all God's plans, purposes, and promises for your life; andlook forward to the future and keep moving toward it in faith--especially when your world is nothing like it once was.Jesus is beckoning us onward into the newness of what lies ahead. Stop disqualifying yourself by getting stuck in the past. It's time to remember Lot's wife and not look back but move forward boldly.

No More Dragons: Get Free from Broken Dreams, Lost Hope, Bad Religion, and Other Monsters
by Jim BurgenBecoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process.You make a long chain of bad choices. The chain gradually wraps around you. Layer by layer, it begins to take on the aspect of scales. One day you glance at yourself in the mirror and a monster is staring back at you. You aren't who you used to be. You aren't who you want to be. You're not who you were created and designed to be. Instead, you're a dragon. When Jim Burgen was nineteen years old, he realized how easy it had been to become a dragon. He knew he didn't want to be one anymore . . . but how? No More Dragons is the story of our common, hopeful journey from dragonhood back to personhood. As Pastor Burgen narrates the remarkable process of reclaiming himself from himself, he implores modern church goers to shake off the trivialities of churchiness in favor of the substantive questions that make a spiritual transformation: “Is Jesus the only one who can undragon people?”“Why don't I like most churches?” “Where is God in difficult times?” “How do you shed decades of gnarly scales?” Some choices will lead you to a better life. Some will kill you. Some choices will add a new layer of scales to your dragon, and some will slough them off. No More Dragons is about asking Christ to deliver you and learning how to obey him.

No More Letting Go
by Debra Jay“Detachment” has been the standard message of most addiction literature for the last twenty years. The conventional wisdom offered to an addict’s loved ones has been to let the addict “hit bottom” before intervening. Now intervention specialist Debra Jay challenges this belief and offers a bold new approach to treating addiction that provides a practical and spiritual lifeline to families struggling with alcohol or drug abuse. In No More Letting Go, Jay argues that the traditional advice of “letting go” too often destroys both the addict and the family physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Jay contends that addiction is everybody’s business–not just the addict’s–and addiction doesn’t have the right to trump the welfare of a family. In short, highly accessible chapters written with warmth, understanding, and compassion, Jay weaves together philosophical and religious thought; new science on the brain function of an addict; the physical and psychological impact of addiction on family members; and poignant, real-life family stories. No More Letting Go is a powerful, informative guide that provides comfort, hope, and practical advice to anyone affected by a family member’s addiction. From the Trade Paperback edition.
(No More) Mediocre Me: How Saying No to the Status Quo Will Propel You From Ordinary to Extraordinary
by John E. MichelIf you were to account for your life at this moment—are you living up to your own potential? Does your present state of affairs give you reason to be disappointed or discouraged? Is your job unsatisfying…your relationships far from what they could be…your spiritual life a mere shadow of what it once was? If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, then there is a very good chance you--like scores of other Americans--have been lulled into accepting a life that is simply "good enough." This is what I term a Mediocre Me Mindset--a confining way of thinking about your role in the world that convinces you to settle for the perceived safety of the status quo rather than push outside your comfort zone to try and make tomorrow a little better than you found it today. In Mediocre Me, you will find a simple, yet profoundly powerful approach to rethinking the way you view your role in the world. It’s a proven means of breaking free from the grasp of mediocrity so you can lead a life of true purpose, meaning, and significance. And perhaps the best part of all…it’s not a new idea! The concepts in Mediocre Me are actually anchored in an over two thousand year old legend. One that reminds us we are at our individual and collective best not when we are standing still, unwitting prisoners of the status quo, but rather, when we are unafraid to reject apathy and embrace action by leading the positive change we want to see occur in our surroundings. Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “America is another name for opportunity.” At a time in our nation’s history when we seem more divided than united, more fearful than hopeful, there can be no more fence-sitting. It’s time to begin writing a different, more empowering personal leadership story of your own. One that will energize you to do what you can, when you can, where you can, to be a force for good in your part of the world when doing so is needed now more than ever.

No More Secondhand Art
by Peter LondonThis book is about using art as an instrument of personal transformation, enabling us to move from an inherited to a chosen state of being. Peter London offers inspiration and fresh ideas to artists, art students, and art teachers--as well as to people who think they can't draw a straight line but want to explore the joys of creative expression. Inside every person, he believes, there is an original, creative self that has been covered over by secondhand ideas, borrowed beliefs, and conditioned behavior. By freeing the capacity for visual expression--a natural human language possessed by everyone--we can awaken and release the full powers of that original self. Among the topics and exercises included are: * How to increase the ability to visualize, fantasize, and dream * Obstacles to the creative encounter and what to do about them * Experimenting with art media as true mediators between imagination and expression * Making masks to reveal the hidden self * Painting with "forbidden" colors * Arranging found objects as metaphors for one's life " "Peter London--painter, author, art educator, and art therapist--has taught the approach presented in this and other books to thousands of students, ranging from teens to octogenarians, from "art phobics" to professional artists. Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and a 2002 Distinguished Fellow at the National Art Education Association, he lives in Fairhaven, Massachusetts." ""A joy to read. In a style both conversational and precise, London questions the conventional attitudes that form a barrier to keep art outside most people's lives. London shows us that making images is as natural as speech, as dreams."--Yoga Journal "Passionate and insightful . . . A must-read for all artists, art students, and art teachers. But anyone who wants to explore their own inner dimensions of creativity can learn and profit from it."--Intuition "Peter London is grounded in his approach to the visual arts and he communicates it beautifully. He gives a fresh vision to creativity."--Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within "I am impressed--no, I am thrilled--by the courage and ripeness of his guidance toward creativity, how it can work, how it can be helped and hindered, how it can change everything."--M.C. Richards, author of Centering in Pottery, Poetry, and the Person "His eloquent, at times poetic ruminations return the reader to some earlier state of grace that may have been damaged or neglected in the hurly-burly of teaching. London not only invites the reader on this journey to some unexplored recesses of the mind, but also provides very specific tasks to ease the passage of transition. Philosopher and artist though he may be, London's commitment as a teacher shines on every page."--Al Hurwitz, author of Gifted and Talented in Art and coauthor of Children and Their Art

No One Understands You and What to Do About It
by Heidi Grant HalvorsonHave you ever felt you're not getting through to the person you're talking to, or not coming across the way you intend? You're not alone.That's the bad news. But there is something we can do about it. Heidi Grant Halvorson, social psychologist and bestselling author, explains why we're often misunderstood and how we can fix that.Most of us assume that other people see us as we see ourselves, and that they see us as we truly are. But neither is true. Our everyday interactions are colored by subtle biases that distort how others see us-and also shape our perceptions of them.You can learn to clarify the message you're sending once you understand the lenses that shape perception: Trust. Are you friend or foe? Power. How much influence do you have over me? Ego. Do you make me feel insecure?Based on decades of research in psychology and social science, Halvorson explains how these lenses affect our interactions-and how to manage them.Once you understand the science of perception, you'll communicate more clearly, send the messages you intend to send, and improve your personal relationships. You'll also become a fairer and more accurate judge of others. Halvorson even offers an evidence-based action plan for repairing a damaged reputation.This book is not about making a good impression, although it will certainly help you do that. It's about coming across as you intend. It's about the authenticity we all strive for.
