Game Plan: A Proven Approach to Work, Live, and Play at the Highest Level Possible—For as Long as Possible
by Mike ManciasFrom the trainer and high-performance expert behind LeBron James and other superstars, a blueprint to achieving peak physical and psychological well-being—and sustaining it for the long haul. With a foreword by LeBron.“Mike Mancias is more than a teacher or trainer, his approach to health and wellness is an approach to life. If you stay ready, you ain’t gotta get ready.” —UsherMike Mancias has spent two decades developing and refining a winning blueprint for athletic excellence. He’s worked with countless professional athletes, sports franchises, and the US Olympic Program. And his methods have propelled the rise of LeBron James, arguably the best-trained athlete in the world, and the gold standard for elite longevity. In Game Plan, he shares those secrets with the rest of us.Over the course of three parts—the first focused on nutrition (“Eat with performance first and foremost in your mind”), the second on physical training (“We find the best ways to keep the body in constant motion”), and the third on recovery (“Recovery doesn’t start after performance but during performance”)—Mancias guides readers on their own journey to tiptop performance.Revelations include the precise time to eat before an athletic pursuit, the hidden pitfalls of stretching, the right temperature for sleeping, therapeutic breathing techniques to turn off stress, and why naps are not just for babies. Throughout, Mancias makes the case that excellence must begin with the mind before it can manifest in the body—and shows you how to cultivate it.Game Plan offers an actionable, holistic, and comprehensive roadmap to peak performance.

Gana Dinero Mientras Duermes
by Samuel J. ColeLos ingresos pasivos son un tipo de ganancias que requieren un esfuerzo mínimo para mantenerse una vez que se han establecido. A diferencia de los ingresos activos, que se obtienen a través del trabajo directo, como el salario de un trabajo o los honorarios por los servicios prestados, los ingresos pasivos permiten a las personas ganar dinero con poca participación continua. Esto puede provenir de varias fuentes, incluidas inversiones, propiedades de alquiler, regalías y negocios en línea. La característica clave de los ingresos pasivos es que continúan generando ingresos a lo largo del tiempo, incluso cuando el individuo no está trabajando activamente. Por ejemplo, una persona que invierte en acciones que pagan dividendos recibe pagos regulares sin necesidad de vender sus acciones o participar en la gestión diaria. Del mismo modo, un arrendador obtiene ingresos por alquiler de los inquilinos, lo que requiere solo mantenimiento y supervisión ocasionales.

Gane su guerra / Win Your War: Luche en el reino invisible para alcanzar la libertad en el que sí puede ver
by Mark Driscoll Grace DriscollUSTED YA ESTA ENFRASCADO EN UNA GUERRA. ES HORA DE LUCHAR. Dios tiene un reino donde su pueblo es gobernado por el Espíritu. Satanás tiene un mundo donde su gente es gobernada por la carne. ¿Por cuál está luchando? Mark y Grace Driscoll se remontan a la historia de Adán y Eva para redefinir la naturaleza de la guerra espiritual.Gane su guerra es un libro práctico que abarca el matrimonio, la paternidad, las relaciones y la vida cristiana fundamentándose en la Palabra de Dios con más de setecientas referencias a las Escrituras. Sin embargo, no se equivoque, aunque haya dos reinos, solo existe una realidad. Dios está en el trono. Mark y Grace Driscoll lo ayudan a reconocer el poder que Jesús le ofrece para vencer las tácticas del enemigo. Aprenda cómo proteger los cuantro frentes de batalla espiritual enla vida de cada cristiano. Su relación con DIOS. Su relación consigo MISMO. Sus relaciones con los DEMÁS. Su relación con la IGLESIA. You&’re already in a war. It&’s time to fight. This book will equip you with tools to protect the five fronts of spiritual battle: your relationship with God, your identity, your family and friends, your church, and the world.Win Your War is a practical marriage, parenting, and relationship book that is grounded in the Word of God and focused on recognizing Satan&’s role in your life. Mark and Grace Driscoll help you understand the power Jesus gives you to overcome the enemy&’s attacks. Mark and Grace Driscoll look at the nature of spiritual warfare in response to Adam and Eve. God has a kingdom where His people are governed by the Spirit. Satan has the world, where his people are governed by the flesh. Spiritual warfare is the battle between these two realities in everything, including our identity, temptation, gender, marriage, and emotional well-being. Some years ago Mark Driscoll preached on the Book of Genesis and discovered an unexpected theme about spiritual warfare that works itself out in all of human history: the storyline of the Bible is that there is first a wedding and then a war. Satan did not show up until a man and woman were married and had a ministry call on their lives. The first thing he did was attack marriage and separate men and women. After reading this book, you will uncover the five fronts of spiritual battle: your relationship with God, your identity, your family and friends, your church, and the world.
Gangster Prayer: Relentlessly Pursuing God with Passion and Great Expectation
by Autumn MilesChange your life and become an inspiring, passionate praying warrior who proclaims God's Word with this refreshingly honest guide to strengthening your faith.If you want positive results from prayer, you first need to pray! But so many people who say they believe in the power of prayer actually pray very little . . . or not at all. It's time to get serious about prayer. Autumn Miles says that we must stop being prayer wimps and instead be transformed into "prayer gangsters"--people who are passionate about their faith and loyalty to God.Autumn believes that God wants to give us so much more than what we've been settling for. It's time our prayer life, which has been mediocre at best, becomes something that is:Fervent,intentional,and highly expectant. Gangster Prayer won't teach you how to pray. Instead, it will help reveal the heart behind a believing prayer and put the focus back on who we are praying to instead of on what we are praying for. With a changed perspective and objective, we can finally see the results from prayer we've been longing for--not just answers but a changed life.

Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human.
by John Mark ComerYou’ve heard people say “Who you are matters more than what you do”. Does the Bible really teach that? In Garden City, popular pastor and speaker John Mark Comer gives a fresh take on our calling and our purpose, with a surprisingly counter-culture take. Through his creative and conversational style, Comer takes a good look at Genesis and the story of a man, a woman, and a garden. He unpacks God’s creation and his original intent for how we are meant to spend our time. Here, you’ll find answers to questions like “Does God care where I work?” “What about what I do with my free time or how much rest I get?” “Does he have a clear direction for me?” Practical and theologically rich, Garden City speaks to twenty and thirty-somethings who are figuring out next steps and direction in their lives. Garden City is the Purpose Driven Life for the next generation—the book that helps us answer why we are here and what should we do about it.

by Marian Jordan EllisDiscover God's redemptive plan for humanity as you embark on a journey from garden to garden—from Eden to eternity. The Bible tells a singular and unified story.

In Garden to Garden, readers discover how God moved through human history—from the garden of Eden to the promise of eternity—to restore us to His presence. Marian Jordan Ellis, the founder of This Redeemed Life Ministry, walks alongside readers as they journey through the Bible in an entirely fresh and unique way through this collection of short devotional readings that lead the reader through the story arc of God&’s great redemptive plan. Readers will come to understand that although the weeds of sin, shame, and blame grow wild in the human heart, our longing for Eden—our true home—always remains. A holy invitation to know and be known by the Living God, Garden to Garden will enhance your knowledge of God's Word, provide you with a greater understanding of how to flourish in His grace, and reveal how Jesus makes all things new! While echoes of Eden fill the human heart, Garden to Garden points us home, to abide in the glorious and beautiful garden distinguished by the Presence of God.

Gardening for a Lifetime: How to Garden Wiser as You Grow Older
by Sydney EddisonFrom the winner of the National Garden Club's Award of Excellence Although the garden may beckon as strongly as ever, the tasks involved—pulling weeds, pushing wheelbarrows, digging holes, moving heavy pots—become increasingly difficult, or even impossible, with advancing age. But the idea of giving it up is unthinkable for most gardeners. So what’s the alternative? In Gardening for a Lifetime, Sydney Eddison draws on her own forty years of gardening to provide a practical and encouraging roadmap for scaling back while keeping up with the gardening activities that each gardener loves most. Like replacing demanding plants like delphiniums with sturdy, relatively carefree perennials like sedums, rudbeckias, and daylilies. Or taking the leap and hiring help—another pair of hands, even for a few hours a week, goes a long way toward getting a big job done. This new edition features an additional chapter describing how Sydney’s struggles with hip and back problems forced her to walk the walk. As a friend of hers says, “Last summer you wrote the book. Now, I’m happy to see that you’ve read it.” Gentle, personable, and practical, Gardening for a Lifetime will be welcomed by all gardeners looking to transform gardening from a list of daunting chores into the gratifying, joyful activity it was meant to be.
Gardens of Karma: Harvesting Myself Among the Weeds, A Memoir
by Susan West KurzIt Began in a Simple Garden . . . and Led to a Spiritual Path. Susan West Kurz's earliest memories began in a garden, where she nurtured herbs and colorful flowers, nibbled sun-drenched vegetables and ripe berries, and danced with her doll, Pinocchio. Later, she landed in another garden, that one in Germany, where she shaped her budding interest into a hugely successful career for international organic and natural skin care products. But for decades, Susan was steeped in another role-one of enabler, support system, and overall back-up singer to the alcoholics who were center stage in her life. The pain of that disease ultimately led her to Anthroposophy, her spiritual path, where she soon recognized she had been headed all along. On her subsequent journey to health and freedom, Susan continues to find inner peace in a garden.
