Bellezza invece di cenere
by Gabriel AgboUna delle virtù che hanno eternamente e sempre incoraggiato i credenti ad aggrapparsi tenacemente a Dio, anche di fronte ad un apparente estremo sconforto e disperazione, è la Sua capacità di trasformare le condizioni più sgradevoli in testimonianze positive. Questa la chiamo trasmutazione divina! Sì, la si può chiamare come si vuole. Ma, credo che capiate di cosa sto parlando. Può darsi che abbiate fatto tutto ciò che era umanamente possibile per uscire da una particolare situazione e tutto inutilmente. Purtroppo, dopo tutti i vostri sforzi, tutto ciò che sembra che vi sia rimasto sono: tristezza, dolore, rimpianti, lutto, vergogna e lacrime. Ed è come se foste tentati di mettere in discussione l'amore e persino l'esistenza di Dio. Prima di continuare, vorrei che comprendessimo le implicazioni del titolo di questo libro. Quando parliamo di cenere, parliamo della qualità più svilita di una sostanza, che non ha alcun valore. Questo è quando la gloria è stata completamente rimossa. D'altra parte, la bellezza parla di piacere, di delizia, di estetica, ecc. Così, quando parliamo di Dio che vi dà la bellezza al posto della cenere, e parliamo anche della trasmutazione divina, tutto quello che diciamo è che c'è una mano Onnipotente che può trasformare ogni disgrazia in testimonianza, afflizione in gioia, disperazione in lode, miseria in opulenza, vergogna in onore, ecc. Nella Bibbia, la cenere è sempre usata per rappresentare un'esperienza umiliante, senza speranza, dolorosa, svilente o vergognosa. Non c'è mai stato un caso in cui la cenere sia stata usata per descrivere una circostanza positiva o piacevole. Si leggerà sempre - "e indossava un sacco di tela e si copriva di cenere". Tuttavia, resta comunque qualcosa di vero: tutti coloro che sono passati attraverso esperienze umilianti, affidandosi a Dio nella Bibbia, alla fine sono stati da Lui guidati e premiati. Sì!
Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life
by Radha AgrawalGet ready to focus on the single most important thing you can do to live a happy, healthy, and successful life: BELONG.“Read this book, do what it says, and discover exactly where you fit in.”—John Mackey, Co-founder and CEO, Whole Foods Market “If you want to belong, read this book.”—Deepak Chopra, MD “From the moment I opened this book I was hooked. This book is caring and tender, challenging and action-driven. It is now on my recommendation list.”—Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity and The State of Affairs, host of Where Should We Begin? podcast How is it that the internet connects us to a world of people, yet so many of us feel more isolated than ever? That we have hundreds, even thousands of friends on social media, but not a single person to truly confide in? Radha Agrawal calls this “community confusion,” and in Belong she offers every reader a blueprint to find their people and build and nurture community, because connectedness—as more and more studies show—is our key to happiness, fulfillment, and success. A book that’s equal parts inspiring and interactive, and packed with prompts, charts, quizzes, and full-color illustrations, Belong takes readers on a two-part journey. Part one is Going IN—a gentle but intentional process of self-discovery and finding out your true energy levels and VIA (values, interests, and abilities). Part two is Going OUT—building on all that you’ve learned about yourself to find those few special people who feed your soul, and discovering, or creating, the ever-widening groups that align with your aims and desires. As the Co-founder and CEO of the popular global morning dance community Daybreaker, Radha Agrawal developed an immense offline community with her team of Community Catalysts in 25 cities and on a dozen college campuses around the world by creating a physical space for people to connect, self-express, sweat, and dance. Now, Radha offers the life-changing strategies, tips, and tricks for making friends that will light your fire and give you the exhale of “Ahh, I’m home.” “Radha has written a book that’s fun to read, easy to digest, and embodies deep wisdom. This isn’t just a book I’m endorsing. This is a book that I want to buy multiple copies of because I have so many friends and acquaintances that will benefit from it. It’s the first book I couldn't wait to finish reading it so I could give my copy to one of my friends to read the same day.” —Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos and author of Delivering Happiness

Ben Franklin's Guide to Wealth: Being a 21st Century Treatise on What It Takes to Live a Thrifty Life
by Jack Mingo Erin BarrettBen Franklin's Guide to Wealth is the modern version of the treatise The Way of Wealth by Richard Saunders, one of Ben Franklin's many pseudonyms. Franklin practiced what he preached in the treatise, and it made him rich enough to have a full life, travel extensively, and follow his intellectual musings, which in turn led him to become an accomplished scientist, inventor, political activist, diplomat, and writer. Franklin wasn't born rich. He built his legacy using his intelligence, curiosity, natural good sense, and proclivity for thrift and hard work. When he died, he left a fortune. Barrett and Mingo bring practicing what Franklin preached up to date for today's busy lifestyles. It's time to get back to financial basics. It's time to think about what "rich" really means. It might mean not hiring someone to do lawn work, saving some money, and sharing time spent together as a family. It's time to look for guidance from America's original financial guru, Ben Franklin. Ben Franklin's Guide to Wealthshows readers how to apply Franklin's financial wisdom to their own lives. Quotes from the original treatise such as "If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today" and "Leisure is time for doing something useful," are followed by the authors' down-to-earth commentary. Barrett and Mingo-history and trivia buffs-offer their own sage advice on a range of financial basics, including debt, thrift, the value of work and business, developing financial responsibility, money and time, and preparing for the future. As the authors attest in the Introduction, we should listen to the way of Ben Franklin because "it works. " A clever, wise, and fun book, the financial advice in Ben Franklin's Guide to Wealth works as well today as it did 250 years ago.
Bendición en el desorden: Cómo ver la bondad de Dios en medio del dolor de la vida
by Joyce Meyer¿Podemos verdaderamente encontrar paz e incluso bendición en medio del caos, las decepciones y los otros desordenes que la vida nos presenta? La vida es a menudo caótica. Escuchamos a la gente decir: «Mi vida es un desastre» o «Esta situación es un caos». Lo que quieren decir es que la vida se ha vuelto difícil, dolorosa o confusa. Pero Dios nunca nos prometió una vida libre de problemas. De hecho, su Palabra nos dice que esperemos lo contrario. En Juan 16:33, Jesús dice: «En este mundo afrontarán aflicciones, pero ¡anímense! Yo he vencido al mundo» (NVI). En Bendición en el desorden, la renombrada maestra de la Biblia, Joyce Meyer, nos muestra cómo ser bendecidos en medio de las circunstancias más desafiantes de la vida. La Biblia está llena de instrucciones sobre cómo podemos tomar control cuando las dificultades se nos presenten, y Joyce nos comparte en este libro esa sabiduría a través de enseñanzas conmovedoras y prácticas que nos equipan para permanecer firmes y esperanzados en cada situación. No importa los problemas que enfrentemos, hay una manera de permanecer gozosos y pacientes mientras Dios obra en ellos. Si no has manejado bien los problemas complicados o los desafíos de tu vida en el pasado, entonces, con la ayuda de Dios, puedes comenzar a manejarlos mejor a partir de ahora. Nunca debemos desperdiciar nuestro dolor. A través de la sabiduría destilada en Bendición en el desorden, podemos aprender cómo sacar provecho de nuestros líos, usar esos conocimientos para evitar problemas en el futuro, y compartir nuestras experiencias para ayudar a otras personas a encontrar bendiciones en medio de sus desastres.

Bereaved Parents and their Continuing Bonds: Love after Death
by Catherine SeigalFor bereaved parents the development of a continuing bond with the child who has died is a key element in their grieving and in how they manage the future. Using her experience of working in a children's hospital as a counsellor with bereaved parents, Catherine Seigal looks at how continuing bonds are formed, what facilitates and sustains them and what can undermine them. She reflects on what she learned about the counsellor's role supporting parents in extremely distressing situations. Using the words and experiences of bereaved parents, and drawing on current theories of continuing bonds, the book is relevant to both professionals and parents. It covers important subjects such as the benefits of a therapeutic group for bereaved parents, the challenges for parents when another child is born, the important role of siblings in keeping the bonds alive and how it is for parents whose child dies before birth or in early infancy. The book uses theory lightly but relevantly and places it into the heart of the lived experience. It offers anyone working with bereaved parents insight into the many and varied ways grief is experienced and expressed and what can be helpful and unhelpful. And it offers bereaved parents the opportunity to share other parents' experiences, to understand a little more about their own feelings and to know they are not alone, providing an original and valuable guide to continuing love after death.

Bereavement Counseling in the School Setting
by Luciano SabatiniWe are a death phobic society. Consequently, we provide very little help to our citizens in dealing with the one common denominator that we all face; the death of those we love. The paucity of death education programs in our elementary and secondary schools is evident of our death avoidance culture. Although many of our schools do attempt to assist the thousands of children and adolescents yearly who lose parents, siblings and other loved ones, their efforts tend to focus on how to assist the newly bereaved student in the days immediately following the loss. Very few schools have a long term approach that extends far beyond the immediate crisis, seeking to assist students with the life altering changes that follow the death of a family member. Dr. Luciano Sabatini, a former school counselor and director of guidance, offers a guide to school based professionals, especially those involved in crisis counseling, on how to assist students through crisis intervention teams, educational awareness and support groups. He shares his experiences in working with bereaved students and what he has learned from them in coming to terms with a devastating loss. He also offers school leaders best practices in supporting grieving students and in managing a school grieving the death of a student.

The Best Advice I Ever Got: Lessons from Extraordinary Lives
by Katie CouricWhat was the tipping point for Malcolm Gladwell? What unscripted event made Meryl Streep who she is? How did Mario Batali cook up his recipe for success? In this inspiration-packed book, Katie Couric reports from the front lines of the worlds of politics, entertainment, sports, philanthropy, the arts, and business--distilling the ingenious, hard-won insights of leaders and visionaries, who tell us all how to take chances, follow our passions, cope with criticism, and, perhaps most important, commit to something greater than ourselves.Among the many voices to be heard here are financial guru Suze Orman on the benefits of doing what's right, not what's easy; director Steven Spielberg on listening rather than being listened to; quarterback Drew Brees on how his (literal) big break changed his life; and novelist Curtis Sittenfeld on the secrets of a great long-term relationship (she suggests marrying someone less neurotic than you); not to mention:* Michael Bloomberg: "Eighty percent of success is showing up . . . early."* Eric Stonestreet: "Remember that the old lady who's taking forever in line is someone's grandma."* Joyce Carol Oates: "Read widely--what you want to read, and not what someone suggests that you should read."* Jimmy Kimmel: "When in doubt, order the hamburger.'"* Apolo Ohno: "It's not about the forty seconds; it's about the four years, the time it took to get there."* Madeleine K. Albright: "Never play hide-and-seek with the truth."Along the way, Couric reflects on the good advice--and the missteps--that have guided her from her early days as a desk assistant at ABC to her groundbreaking role as the first female anchor of the CBS Evening News. She reveals how the words of Thomas Jefferson helped her deal with her husband's tragic death from cancer, and what encouraged her to leave the security of NBC's Today show for a new adventure at CBS.Delightful, empowering, and moving, The Best Advice I Ever Got is the perfect book for anyone who is thinking about the future, contemplating taking a risk, or daring to make a leap into the great unknown. This book is for all of us, young or old, who want to see how today's best and brightest got it right, got it wrong, and came out on top.

From how to flirt to how to get him to commit, this book provides common-sense advice served up with spunk for the woman looking to find love - and make her relationship work."Flirting is essential. I think the woman should signal men to let them know they will be receptive so that he can feel comfortable approaching. Anyone can learn how to flirt. I did, and I am somewhat introverted."

And if that doesn't work, spill your drink on him."
