Among the Giants
by Jesse LebeauThe sound of the basketball slapping the floor echoed hollowly in the gym, as I began working it playfully with my hands. Planning my next move, I locked eyes with my opponent. I noticed small beads of sweat beginning to form in the furrow between his eyebrows. My heart was pounding, and my nerves tightened in response . . . but slowly a smile formed on my lips. Here I was, 5'8" Jesse LeBeau, going one on one with basketball superstar Kevin Durant . . . and I was making him sweat! As I started to make my move on him, I briefly wondered, "How did a skinny kid from a small town in Alaska ever get the chance to do this?" Here I was, involved in the filming of the 2012 Warner Brother's basketball movie Thunderstruck, playing against the NBA scoring champion! It shouldn't have happened. I didn't fit the profile and anyone would have told you that. But I did make it, despite the odds. And here is my story . . . Growing up as an undersized white basketball player on a remote island in Alaska, Jesse had nearly every chip stacked against him. Yet despite his size and circumstances, he managed to rise above it all and make it to the big screen in Hollywood. With only the love of the game of basketball and the tenacity to follow a dream driving him, Jesse's persistence has led him to star in national commercials and movies with some of the most recognizable celebrities and professional athletes in the world. More importantly, he found a way to tweak the system and alter his dream and get paid to do what he loves to . . . every day! Be inspired by his story and learn the keys to successfully creating a life that is uniquely yours.
Among the Maasai: A Memoir
by Juliet CutlerIn 1999, Juliet Cutler leaves the United States to teach at the first school for Maasai girls in East Africa. Captivated by the stories of young Maasai women determined to get an education in the midst of a culture caught between the past and the future, she seeks to empower and support her students as they struggle to define their own fates. Cutler soon learns that behind their shy smiles and timid facades, her Maasai students are much stronger than they appear. For them, adolescence requires navigating a risky world of forced marriages, rape, and genital cutting, all in the midst of a culture grappling with globalization. In the face of these challenges, these young women believe education offers hope, and so, against all odds, they set off alone―traveling hundreds of miles and even forsaking their families―simply to go to school. Twenty years of involvement with this school and its students reveal to Cutler the important impacts of education across time, as well as the challenges inherent in tackling issues of human rights and extreme poverty across vastly different cultures. Working alongside local educators, Cutler emerges transformed by the community she finds in Tanzania and by witnessing the life-changing impact of education on her students. Proceeds from the sale of this book support education for at-risk Maasai girls.

Amor incondicional: El poder de la hermandad
by Gregory BoyleDios, en su infinita misericordia, nos ama tal y como somos. Este libro es una invitación a encontrar esa misma chispa en nuestros corazones. A partir de los testimonios de pandilleros rehabilitados o en proceso de rehabilitación, Gregory Boyle nos ofrece un retrato de los sectores marginados de la sociedad y los retos y alegrías que enfrentan. Perdón y superación personal son los hilos que nos muestran lo luminosa que es la vida cuando se asume desde el amor incondicional. En estas páginas, Boyle se adentra en el corazón de quienes son el alma del programa Homeboy en Los Ángeles, y de manera cuidadosa y divertida nos recuerda que, en un mundo cada vez más violento y dividido, la solidaridad y la piedad son una manera única de acercarnos a Dios. También nos muestra cómo, en cada uno de nosotros e independientemente de nuestro pasado, hay un destello de bondad. Amor incondicional: El poder de la hermandad es un canto a la compasión, a la inclusión y al poder de las segundas oportunidades. #Este es un libro hermoso, importante y que transporta almas. Está escrito por Gregory Boyle, un sacerdote jesuita en Los Ángeles que ha trabajado con (y amado) miembros de pandillas durante décadas. Este libro trata sobre cómo amar a las personas. Cómo amar realmente a las personas. Y cómo conocer a Dios cuando lo ves. . . . Este es un libro fantástico. Por favor léelo. # #Elizabeth Gilbert "Si buscas inspiración genuina en el mercado, te insto a que leas Amor incondicional (Barking to the Choir) de Gregory Boyle, un libro que muestra cómo son los lugares comunes de la fe cuando se ponen en acción". #Ann Patchett

Amor vs. codependencia: Vive tus relaciones en plenitud
by Adriana Páramo Moguel"Lo que te ofrezco es darte las herramientas para que hagas consciente lo inconsciente, que sepas por qué te relacionas de una forma determinada, para qué estás con un tipo de personas en específico, cuáles son los resortes que te mueven a reaccionar como lo haces". ¿Te has preguntado dónde termina el amor y empieza la codependencia? Adriana Páramo analiza las razones de fondo que determinan la manera en que amamos. En gran medida, todo se remite a nuestra niñez. Lo que aprendimos en los primeros años impone cómo afrontamos la vida de adultos... pero nada está perdido, aún es posible amar de otra manera y acabar con las manías. Este libro va más allá del lugar común, porque todos sabemos que "primero debemos amarnos a nosotros mismos para amar a otros" pero pocos conocen cómo hacerlo. Desde un punto de vista psicológico y con enfoque emocional, la autora nos explica cómo transformar nuestras ideas sobre el amor romántico.

An Absorbing Errand: How Artists and Craftsmen Make Their Way to Mastery
by Janna Malamud SmithAn Absorbing Errand uses stories of artists' lives, personal anecdotes, and insights from the author's work as a psychotherapist to examine the psychological obstacles that prevent people from staying with, and relishing, the process of art-making. Each chapter is devoted to a problem intrinsic to the creative process and illustrates how these very obstacles, once understood, can become prime sources of the energy that actually fuels the mastery of art-making.Ultimately, An Absorbing Errand provides a philosophical, historical, and analytical look at the creative impulse and how certain artists from a wide field mastered their craft. From Julia Child to Charlie Chaplin, Lady Gaga to Michael Jackson, famous painters to established writers, Smith shows us how each overcame the obstacles they faced in the pursuit of their creative visions.Many people carry within their hearts an aching sense that they have something they want to express through art; or that they will not feel complete until they've brought out some hidden part of themselves. Yet they cannot begin to do the work of bringing their creative idea into the world. Or, maybe they've begun over and over, but they can't stay with their labor long enough to finish it. An Absorbing Errand is a supportive companion, an enlightened and compassionate ballast, a guide for anyone who has ever picked up a pencil to write, or a paint brush to paint, or any tool -from chisel to loom- to pursue any serious craft, and then put it down again frustrated, discouraged, and unable to continue.An Absorbing Errand is unlike any book about creating art of any kind, and aspiring and working artists alike will find it both original and invaluable.
An Address to All Believers in Christ: By A Witness To The Divine Authenticity Of The Book Of Mormon
by David WhitmerDavid Whitmer was selected by Joseph Smith to be one of only three special witnesses to the Book of Mormon. Because most of the book was produced in David’s own house, he was an eye-witness to the translation process itself, and to the early history the Latter Day Saint movement.Later in life, David compiled this Address to All Believers, honestly critiquing actions of Joseph Smith and the early church. The reflections and honesty of an older man bring us priceless information on Joseph Smith and the early history of his movement. But it must be noted that Whitmer maintained his testimony of the Book of Mormon to death. That fact alone commands attention to the information and insights he provides.-Print ed.
