Christ's Way to Spiritual Growth
by Philip G. SamaanSPIRITUALITY IS CHRISTLIKENESS, having Jesus so fill our lives that when others look at us, they see Jesus instead. Spiritual growth, or spirituality, is a topic that has captured the interest of people everywhere. Even those who aren't traditionally religious have become interested in spirituality. But what is spirituality? Philip Samaan believes that, far more than prayer, meditation, or any of the other spiritual disciplines, spirituality is Christlikeness, having Jesus so fill our lives that when others look at us, they see Him instead. By focusing on what the Bible and Ellen White reveal about Christ's spiritual life, he shows how we can become more and more like Jesus.
Chronic Illness and the Twelve Steps: A Practical Approach to Spiritual Resilience
by Martha ClevelandA self-help guide for those who are chronically ill.When we live with a chronic illness or disability, our spirit is tested. And though we may have no say in our sickness, how we meet its spiritual challenge is entirely up to us. This is the message of Martha Cleveland's heartening book, which maps the spiral of emotional pain that steals the energy of the chronically ill--and shows how to turn this spiral into a path toward spiritual growth. Cleveland herself turned to the Twelve Steps for support during almost two decades of a recurring illness that defied diagnosis. In this book, she shares what the Twelve Step program teaches her about living with chronic illness--coping with feelings of pain, anger, hopelessness, and isolation--and about offsetting such negative emotions with spiritual wellness. An invitation to choose joy over despair, her book reveals how chronic illness can open the spirit to acceptance, serenity, and fulfillment.
The Chronic Pain Solution: Your Personal Path to Pain Relief
by James N. Dillard Leigh Ann HirschmanEvery morning, more than 50 million Americans wake up to another day in pain. If you are one of them, you know the way chronic pain can take over your life: the lost work and missed pleasures, the harsh drugs or surgeries, the feelings of anger and frustration, the endless search from doctor to doctor. It doesn't have to be that way. This remarkable book, by one of the leading pain specialists in America, puts in your hands the resources usually available only at the most sophisticated pain clinics. Recent research has shown that the solution to the puzzle of pain is almost never one "magic bullet" treatment. What works is a combination of therapies--often three or more--customized to your individual needs. Some drugs or surgeries can actually make your condition worse, while surprisingly gentle alternative therapies can provide measurable, lasting relief. The key is knowing how to combine the best of both conventional and alternative medicine. Dr. James Dillard offers you what few physicians today are trained to provide: * fascinating new information on how pain affects your body and mind--including six myths that can keep you from healing * a detailed guide to more than 40 treatment methods, from state-of-the-art microsurgery and pharmaceuticals to acupuncture, yoga, and biofeedback * individual chapters on the 12 most common types of pain, from arthritis and back pain to fibromyalgia and migraines--clearly indicating what works and what to avoid * The Pain-Control Diet--and 20 top supplements for pain relief * how to build your pain-management team and get what you need from your insurance company * checklists, self-evaluations, and guides for tracking treatment * special chapters on children, seniors, pregnant women, terminal pain--plus how you can help a loved one in pain You can take back your life from pain. The Chronic Pain Solutionwill guide you every step of the way. From the Hardcover edition.
Chronic Sorrow
by Susan RoosGrief and loss are burgeoning concerns for professional disciplines such as nursing, social work, family therapy, psychology, psychiatry, law, religion and medicine. Although understanding has increased in virtually all other areas of grief and loss, chronic sorrow has received scant attention. Chronic sorrow is a natural grief reaction to losses that are not final, but continue to be present in the life of the griever. This book views chronic sorrow in a life-span perspective, and reveals the effect on the griever and the people close to them. This book fills a void in the literature; and attempts to develop a comprehensive analysis of chronic sorrow that will secure its position within the field of grief and loss.

Church of the Small Things: The Million Little Pieces That Make Up a Life
by Ree Drummond Melanie ShankleIs my ordinary, everyday life actually significant? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner?It’s been said, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.” The pressure of that can be staggering as we spend our days looking for that big thing that promises to take our breath away. Meanwhile, we lose sight of the small significance of fully living with every breath we take.Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author and writer at The Big Mama Blog tackles these questions head on in her fourth book, Church of the Small Things. Easygoing and relatable, she speaks directly to the heart of women of all ages who are longing to find significance and meaning in the normal, sometimes mundane world of driving carpool to soccer practice, attending class on their college campus, cooking meals for their family, or taking care of a sick loved one.The million little pieces that make a life aren’t necessarily glamorous or far-reaching. But God uses some of the smallest, most ordinary acts of faithfulness—and sometimes they look a whole lot like packing lunch. Through humorous stories told in her signature style, full of Frito pie, best friends, the love of her Me-Ma and Pa-Pa, the unexpected grace that comes when we quit trying to measure up, and a little of the best TV has to offer, Melanie helps women embrace what it means to live a simple, yet incredibly meaningful life and how to find all the beauty and laughter that lies right beneath the surface of every moment.

¡Cierre las brechas!: Diríjase a un desempeño más alto y ¡consígalo!
by Ken Blanchard Dana Robinson«Si un desempeño pobre está atacando a su empresa, no se deje atrapar. Saque provecho de ¡Cierre las brechas!». —Harvey Mackay, autor del best seller del New York Times Nada entre tiburones sin que te coman vivo «Este libro describe un enfoque, un marco para la acción y unas herramientas que pueden mejorar el desempeño general de una compañía mediante su personal. Este es un libro que tanto los gerentes de Recursos Humanos como los supervisores inmediatos deben leer». —Mike Woerner, director de Recursos Humanos, Wawa, Inc.

Los gerentes de todos los niveles que laboran en las organizaciones a menudo identifican un problema y se lanzan de inmediato a resolverlo.

Blanchard y sus coautores están aquí para enseñarle a evitar que caiga en esta... trampa destructora. En ¡Cierre las brechas!, Bill Ambers, el director de servicio al cliente en una firma de alta tecnología, se encuentra con un problema en la empresa: su centro de llamadas no está alcanzando el número de llamadas estipulados. Con la ayuda de Michael St. Vincent, jardinero y legendario jefe de Saint’s Nurseries and Landscaping, aprende a cavar sistemáticamente hasta encontrar la raíz del problema, y al hacerlo descubre tanto el enfoque de BRECHAS en cuanto a mejorar el rendimiento y una herramienta llamada Cerrador de brechas. Con su fascinante historia, sus ejemplos vívidos y su enfoque amistoso hacia el lector, ¡Cierre las brechas! es de lectura obligatoria para todo aquel que busca identificar y corregir los factores que impactan negativamente el desempeño, de tal manera que el impacto determinante es significativo y mensurable.
The Cigarette Century
by Allan M. BrandtFrom agriculture to big business, from medicine to politics, The Cigarette Century is the definitive account of how smoking came to be so deeply implicated in our culture, science, policy, and law. No product has been so heavily promoted or has become so deeply entrenched in American consciousness. The Cigarette Century shows in striking detail how one ephemeral (and largely useless) product came to play such a dominant role in so many aspects of our lives--and deaths.

Y «¿Qué importa en realidad?» nos lleva hasta el corazón mismo de la vida.Ryan promete que si nos hacemos de manera continua estas preguntas, estaremos preparados para responder con un «sí» lleno de entusiasmo a una pregunta final, y en definitiva, la más importante de todas: «¿Y sin embargo, lograste obtener lo que querías en la vida?» En este libro profundo y revelador, Ryan amplía el contenido de su discurso, que se ha vuelto sumamente popular, recibido muchos elogios y ha sido visto más de cuatro millones de veces en internet. Ofrece percepciones más profundas en el arte de hacer buenas preguntas, incluyendo anécdotas humorísticas y sorprendentes tomadas de la vida personal y profesional de Ryan, así como relatos tomados de la política, la cultura popular y los movimientos sociales que han existido a lo largo de la historia.Este libro interesante y cautivador cambiará la manera en que te ves a ti mismo y ves al mundo y, mientras tanto, te ayudará a conseguir lo que más quieres alcanzar en la vida.

Cincuenta innovaciones que han cambiado el mundo
by Tim HarfordA través de las fascinantes historias de cincuenta ideas e inventos, el autor de El economista camuflado explica en este nuevo libro cómo la innovación puede cambiar nuestras vidas y alterar el complejo sistema económico global. Hay innovaciones, ideas e inventos que permiten curar el cáncer. Otras nos permiten llegar a nuestros destinos de vacaciones mucho más deprisa. Son divertidas. Generan dinero. Y, por descontado, los inventos tienen éxito porque resuelven un problema que alguien, en algún lugar, quiere resolver. El arado, por ejemplo, tuvo éxito porque ayudó a los agricultores a producir más comida con menos esfuerzo. Sin embargo, los inventos configuran nuestra vida de manera impredecible, y, mientras resuelven un problema para alguien, a menudo crean un problema para otra persona. ¿Por qué el código de barras cambió el equilibrio de poderes en la industria alimentaria? ¿Por qué el gramófono incrementó la desigualdad económica? ¿Y cómo el alambre de púas forjó el futuro de Estados Unidos? Las innovaciones también afectan a una compleja red de conexiones económicas. A veces nos complican la vida, otras rompen viejos límites y, en ocasiones, crean patrones completamente nuevos. ¿Por qué, por ejemplo, la píldora anticonceptiva incrementó el número de mujeres en las facultades de Medicina y Derecho? Con el talento de le ha convertido en el más célebre divulgador económico, Tim Harford describe el funcionamiento de la economía a través de la sorprendente historia del plato precocinado, el Estado del Bienestar, la dinamo, la estantería Billy, la propiedad intelectual, el iPhone, las maquinillas y hojas de afeitar, el papel moneda o los paraísos fiscales. Algunas de estas historias se centran en fuerzas económicas vastas e impersonales; otras son relatos del genio o la tragedia de los humanos. Como el intento de desarrollar un «rayo mortífero» que, en cambio, llevó a inventar el radar, un dispositivo esencial para que los viajes aéreos sean seguros. Y todas estas innovaciones nos cuentan una historia, no solo del ingenio humano, sino también de los sistemas invisibles que nos rodean: de las cadenas de suministro global, de la información omnipresente, del dinero y de las ideas. Y, al final del libro, podremos aunar todas estas lecciones para preguntarnos cómo deberíamos pensar en la innovación hoy en día. ¿Cuáles son las mejores maneras de alentar nuevas ideas? ¿Y cómo podemos pensar con claridad sobre qué efectos pueden tener estas ideas y actuar con previsión para maximizar los beneficios y mitigar prejuicios?
