Navigating it while working—from figuring out how to tell your boss you&’re pregnant to squeezing in doctors&’ appointments between meetings, all while working even harder to prove yourself—can be a push and pull between a desire for privacy and the need for support.

She shows you how to embrace a different perspective, find your balance, cultivate community, communicate your needs, and navigate the shift in identity from working woman to working mother. Along the way, you&’ll identify career considerations to make at each phase of pregnancy, starting with the moment you decide you want to become a working mom-to-be.In Carry Strong, Kramer flips the script: This isn&’t about powering through pregnancy at work. It&’s about being powerful and pregnant at work.

Cartas a la iglesia
by Francis ChanEn una de sus más poderosas obras, el pastor Francis Chan profundiza en las verdades bíblicas, reflexiona sobre sus propios sueños y fracasos, y comparte historias de gente común que Dios está usando para cambiar el mundo. Chan lo expresa diciendo: «Sabemos que nos hemos alejado de lo que Dios llama Iglesia. Sabemos que lo que experimentamos en la actualidad como Iglesia es radicalmente diferente a lo que las Escrituras relatan sobre la misma. Por décadas, líderes como yo, hemos perdido de vista el misterio intrínseco de la Iglesia. Hemos entrenado a la gente en las bancas a volverse adictos a cosas menos importantes. Es tiempo de cambio». Cuando Jesús regrese, ¿nos encontrará cuidando de su novia más que a nosotros mismos?. Cartas a la Iglesia nos recuerda lo poderosa y gloriosa que fue la Iglesia en algún momento… y nos desafía a volver a ser esa Iglesia, la que Dios deseó desde el principio.

Cartas de las mujeres que aman demasiado
by Robin NorwoodCuando estar enamorada significa sufrir, estamos amando demasiado. «He escrito Cartas de las mujeres que aman demasiado con dos propósitos: primero, como una manera práctica de responder en detalle las innumerables cartas que recibí tras la publicación de mi primer libro; y en segundo lugar, para crear la oportunidad de que quienes comparten el problema de la adicción a las relaciones aprendan unos de otros cómo ha sido la lucha y, si se ha producido la recuperación, cómo se logró. Refrescando los principios presentados en Las mujeres que aman demasiado he elaborado cuidadosos y completos análisis de estas cartas, en las que tantas mujeres relataron la manera en que pusieron en práctica los principios de la recuperación. Compartamos, entonces, nuestras experiencias para llegar a una vivencia del amor plena, equilibrada y feliz.»Robin Norwood

Case for Christ/Case for Faith Compilation
by Lee StrobelWas God telling the truth when he said, 'You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart'?In his #1 bestseller The Case for Christ, Lee Strobel examined the claims of Christ, reaching the hard-won verdict that Jesus is God's unique son. In The Case for Faith, Strobel turns his skills to the most persistent emotional objections to belief---the eight 'heart barriers' to faith. This Gold Medallion-winning book is for those who may be feeling attracted to Jesus but who are faced with difficult questions standing squarely in their path. For Christians, it will deepen their convictions and give them fresh confidence in discussing Christianity with even their most skeptical friends.'Everyone---seekers, doubters, fervent believers---benefits when Lee Strobel hits the road in search of answers, as he does again in The Case for Faith. In the course of his probing interviews, some of the toughest intellectual obstacles to faith fall away.'---Luis Palau'Lee Strobel has given believers and skeptics alike a gift in this book. He does not avoid seeking the most difficult questions imaginable, and refuses to provide simplistic answers that do more harm than good.'---Jerry Sittser, professor of religion, Whitworth College, and author of A Grace Disguised and The Will of God as a Way of Life

Cat Daddy: What the World's Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean
by Jackson Galaxy"Mr. Galaxy--shaved head, arms full of tattoos--seems physically at odds with his gentle voice and gentle approach to animals. . . . But though he may be dealing with humans who have been terrorized and even bloodied by their out-of-control pets, he's a model of consistency. The cats, not the people, are his No. 1 priority. "--The New York Times "Galaxy is not your average animal behaviorist. He speaks Cat. And cats listen. He works miracles in saving death-row cats in shelters by helping them get over their fears and increase their self-esteem, and coaching them to 'work it' with potential adopters. "--mousebreath. com "He's the kind of magic man who can lull a shelter's roomful of ferocious felines to sleep. "--Yahoo! "Each of us sheds light on our subject from our own particular point of view. Fortunately for us all Jackson Galaxy's light is very bright. His success at resolving behavioral difficulties in cats stems from his ability to slide his mind into the cat's point of view and proceed from there. His insights into both human and cat behavior are right on. "--Anitra Frazier, author of The Natural Cat Cat behaviorist and star of Animal Planet's hit television showMy Cat from Hell,Jackson Galaxy, a. k. a. "Cat Daddy," isn't what you might expect for a cat expert (asTheNew York Timesnoted, with his goatee and tattoos he "looks like a Hells Angel"). Yet Galaxy's ability to connect with even the most troubled felines--not to mention the stressed-out humans living in their wake--is awe-inspiring. In this book, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his thirteen-year relationship with a petite gray-and-white short-haired cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with not too much more going on than a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny's previous owner brought the cat to the shelter in a cardboard box to give him up. Benny had seen better days--his pelvis had just been shattered by the wheels of a car--and his owner insisted he'd been "unbondable" from day one. Nothing could have been further from the truth. An inspiring account of two broken beings who fixed each other,Cat Daddyis laced throughout with Galaxy's amazing "Cat Mojo" advice for understanding what cats need most from us humans in order to live happier, healthier lives.

Catastrophe Ethics: How to Choose Well in a World of Tough Choices
by Travis RiederHow to live a morally decent life in the midst of today's constant, complex choices In a world of often confusing and terrifying global problems, how should we make choices in our everyday lives? Does anything on the individual level really make a difference? In Catastrophe Ethics, Travis Rieder tackles the moral philosophy puzzles that bedevil us. He explores vital ethical concepts from history and today and offers new ways to think about the &“right&” thing to do when the challenges we face are larger and more complex than ever before. Alongside a lively tour of traditional moral reasoning from thinkers like Plato, Mill, and Kant, Rieder posits new questions and exercises about the unique conundrums we now face, issues that can seem to transcend old-fashioned philosophical ideals. Should you drink water from a plastic bottle or not? Drive an electric car? When you learn about the horrors of factory farming, should you stop eating meat or other animal products? Do small commitments matter, or are we being manipulated into acting certain ways by corporations and media? These kinds of puzzles, Rieder explains, are everywhere now. And the tools most of us unthinkingly rely on to &“do the right thing&” are no longer enough. Principles like &“do no harm&” and &“respect others&” don&’t provide guidance in cases where our individual actions don&’t, by themselves, have any effect on others at all. We need new principles, with new justifications, in order to navigate this new world. In the face of consequential and complex crises, Rieder shares exactly how we can live a morally decent life. It&’s time to build our own catastrophe ethics.
