Caminar sin punteras: Para avanzar con equilibrio ante los giros de la vida
by Almudena CidAlmudena Cid comparte sus herramientas para avanzar con equilibrio ante los giros de la vida. En Caminar sin punteras habla de cómo, cuando el centro de tu vida se desmorona, recurrir a su experiencia como deportista de élite la salvó de quedarse esperando a que algo aliviara el dolor. Cuando tuvo que mirar atrás y encontrar el modo de hacer frente al caos, regresaron con más presencia que nunca la disciplina y la fuerza mental que desarrolló en su carrera como gimnasta. La naturaleza metafórica de los aparatos propios de la rítmica -cinta, cuerda, mazas, pelota y aro- irrumpió también con toda su belleza, para recordarle lo que aprendió de ellos y cómo aprovecharlo para construir con cimientos más sólidos. En estas páginas Almudena comparte, con gran honestidad y empatía, el camino que ella misma ha transitado el último año para ayudar a todas esas personas dispuestas a tomar las riendas de su presente. Habla de cómo el final de un amor puede ser a veces la mejor noticia. De cómo es posible encontrar fuerzas donde no creías, y cómo puedes redescubrirte a ti misma mientras tratas de deshacer el nudo en el que se ha convertido tu vida.

Camp Girls: Fireside Lessons on Friendship, Courage, and Loyalty
by Iris KrasnowNew York Times bestselling author Iris Krasnow reflects with humor and heart on her summer camp experiences and the lessons she and her fellow campers learned there that have stayed with them throughout their lives. Iris Krasnow was 8 years old when she first attended sleep-away camp, building lasting friendships and essential life skills amid the towering pine trees and open skies of Wisconsin. Decades later, she returned to Camp Agawak as a staff member to help resurrect Agalog, the camp's defunct magazine that she wrote for as a child. There, she revisits the activities she loved as a young girl: singing songs around a campfire, swimming in a pristine lake, sleeping under the stars-experiences that continue to fill her with wisdom and perspective. A nostalgic, inspiring memoir with a universal message on the importance of long-term friendship for campers and non-campers alike, Camp Girls weaves between past and present, filling the page in delicious detail with cabin pranks, canoe trips in rainstorms, and the joy of finding both your independence and your interdependence in nature alongside your peers. Through rich storytelling, Iris shares her own and other campers' adventures and the lessons from childhood that can shape fulfilling and successful adulthoods. Ultimately, Iris powerfully demonstrates that camp is more than a place or a collection of activities: it's where we learn what it means to be human and what it feels like to truly belong to a family-not of blood, but of history, loyalty, and tradition.
Campfire Lessons for Leaders: How Uncovering Our Past Can Propel Us Forward
by Tony MartignettiThis ideal companion for business leaders heading into a milestone moment offers practical advice to help them take something that can seem amorphous and abstract – living an intentional, purposeful life – and turn it into reality. Though it might seem counterintuitive, this book demonstrates that to move forward in the right direction, you must understand and integrate your past into your present. Readers will see how they too can step back and consider the "flashpoints" of their past in a way that will serve them as they take the next step of their life, from navigating a significant life change to simply living each day feeling less stuck and more purposeful. Leading coach Tony Martignetti shares the most powerful lessons from over 200 "Virtual Campfire" podcast interviews he’s conducted with driven individuals who decided to live intentionally rather than by default. As no two interviewees have faced the same challenges or pursued the same goals, readers will be inspired by these diverse insights to embark on – and sustain – their own unique transformations. Packed with questions, journaling prompts, and real-world exercises to help readers understand their past at a deeper level and integrate it into their present, this book provides a valuable toolkit for business leaders and professionals in any industry who feel unfulfilled and uncertain about what’s next for them.

Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope?: How to Find Faith for Hard Times in 1 Peter
by Amy Lively"Amy is a gifted teacher and her words are just the right mix of clever, funny, and profound."--Peggy Bodde, founder of Sacred WorkWhen the pain and problems of life barge in, hopes and dreams run out. In these uncertain seasons of personal crisis, national chaos, and global catastrophe, it's easy to wonder if life will ever be anything but sorrow and despair.The apostle Peter knows exactly what it's like when hope is gone. He watched as the Messiah was arrested, crucified, and buried. And Peter himself failed almost every test of his faith, even with Christ right in front of him. But he also knows that God is faithful and true, carrying us through our harshest suffering and redeeming our heaviest regrets. Bible teacher, author, and speaker Amy Lively dives into Peter's first epistle, a short letter with a lot of power, to light the way for today's struggling Christian. In this daily Bible study, she guides readers through the beautiful story of Peter and shows how he embodies the way to set our hope fully in Christ alone. With gentle honesty and a touch of helpful humor, Amy helps readers understand that when it feels like the end of the world to them, it's just the beginning of the power of Jesus."A beautiful, honest, and in-depth journey into 1 Peter. . . . You'll come away a little more humble, a little more thoughtful and introspective, and best of all, a whole lot more able to set your hope fully on Christ."--Jennifer Hayes Yates, author of Just Like Us and Seeking Truth

Can I Say That?: How Unsafe Questions Lead Us to the Real God
by Brenna BlainCan God handle our hardest questions, biggest struggles, and secret doubts?We instinctively assume he cannot. We figure giving voice to those things will bring shame, rejection, and distance from him. But what if our hard questions don't need to function as an off-ramp from Christianity but can lead us closer to his heart? What if he is not afraid of our doubts but instead reveals himself in them?In Can I Say That?, Brenna Blain brings her fresh voice to those who feel unsafe or unwelcome in the church, acknowledging the incongruity between the church's actions and believers' lived experiences. As a Bible teacher and an advocate for those who have experienced abuse, molestation, and mental health crises, she creates space for readers to be radically honest and ask tough questions—Am I safe here? Why does your presence feel so lonely, God?—while pointing them to biblical, foundational truth.Leading the way with her own raw vulnerability and authenticity, Brenna shares her journey of wrestling with God and building intimacy with him as a result. Bravely exploring these deep places with Brenna will help you:Know in your guts that God accepts you as you are—even as you question, struggle, doubt, and hurtBe reassured that he is bigger than anything you face and can handle anything you bring to himExperience his love in the most tender and needy parts of your heartEngage complex questions about the institution of the church, wrestle with its abuses, and advocate for the Body of Christ to more closely reflect his heart God sees you and knows you—better than you know yourself. He doesn't need you to change in order for him to love you. He doesn't require you to be free of struggles in order for him to be close to you. He wants you to be your true self with him and be willing to engage with him deeply, so he can wow you with the beauty of his heart and character.
Can I Speak to Someone in Charge?
by Emily Clarkson&‘JUST IMAGINE IF WE, THE NORMAL GIRLS, STOOD UNITED AS AN ENORMOUS, HYSTERICAL AND PROUD ARMY. WE WOULD BE UNSTOPPABLE.&’ &‘A fresh, modern take on feminism and life from one of the most compelling voices of her generation&’ JANE MOORE &‘A stirring call to action&’ KATIE SPICER Written with gumption, fearlessness and sharp wit, Can I Speak to Someone in Charge? is a window into the ridiculous ideologies and the absurd expectations that shape the lives of modern women.In a series of open letters, Emily Clarkson addresses all manner of subjects, from body hair to Facebook friends to the perils of wearing Lycra. She unpicks the validity of notions such as &‘the thigh gap&’; questions the quotidian scrutiny by the media; ponders the etymology of the term &‘plus size&’ and considers our unshakeable obsession with dieting, while wondering why some of us are still crying in changing rooms. Full of vital life lessons, outrageous confessions and poignant reflections, Can I Speak to Someone in Charge? is a love letter to women everywhere; reminding us that being strong, being kind and being yourself is really what &‘normal&’ should be. &‘Being asked to write a book was probably the best thing that&’s happened to me – up until that point I was gravely concerned that my mum was the only person reading my blog. I hope this book will speak to a range of women, and men actually, I hope it will make people laugh, but more importantly I hope it will open people's eyes to the fact that we've got a lot to do if we want to make growing up in a good and kind world a possibility for our daughters.&’ Emily Clarkson
