Book Description
El propósito de este libro es ayudarte a utilizar tu preocupación para inspirarte. La preocupación es parte de nuestro diario vivir. Es parte de nuestro comportamiento como seres humanos y algo con lo que tendremos que lidiar por el resto de nuestras vidas. Lo que hace la diferencia es el nivel de preocupación en tu vida y el objeto de tu preocupación. Si la preocupación es excesiva y no te permite funcionar, es entonces cuando inspirarte es la opción. Transformar tus preocupaciones en inspiración es usar esos mismos pensamientos que preocupan tu mente para estimularte a crear. Es permitir que esos pensamientos te provoquen una acción, un cambio. Es dejar que esos mismos pensamientos te revelen la respuesta que buscas. ¡Es un despertar hacia tu potencial de lograr todo lo que te propongas! Es un reavivamiento en lugar de permitir que las preocupaciones acaben con tu vida. Es ver cómo te llenas de vitalidad utilizando esas mismas preocupaciones como razones para levantarte y renovar la energía, siendo aún más fuerte. Es utilizar esa energía espiritual que todo lo puede y que nada ni nadie puede quitarte. Aunque otros traten de quitarte otras cosas nadie podrá quitarte tu pasión y tu entusiasmo, solo tú mismo, pero nadie más. ¡Es esa quietud y esa calma que viene cuando estás seguro de ti mismo y de que sí puedes hacer lo que sea y ahora! Es sentirte restaurado cuando todo a tu alrededor parece haberse derrumbado. ¡Es estar tan animado que nada ni nadie te hace vacilar porque tu fe es sólida e intacta! ¡Es cuando la intensidad de tus preocupaciones equivale a la intensidad de tu poder, tu fortaleza y tu entusiasmo para no darte por vencido y seguir tratando! Y finalmente, es cuando tu inspiración se une a tu intención y tu propósito en la vida y llegas a ese lugar donde todas tus aspiraciones, tu ambición y tu ideal en la vida encuentran significado.

Until Tuesday
Author: Luis Carlos Montalvan
Publisher: Hachette Books
ISBN: 1401303765
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
A heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier’s life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Luis Montalván never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover. Then Luis met Tuesday, a sensitive golden retriever trained to assist people with disabilities. Tuesday had lived among prisoners and at a home for troubled boys, and he found it difficult to trust in or connect with a human being–until Luis. Until Tuesday is the story of how two wounded warriors, who had given so much and suffered the consequences, found salvation in each other. It is a story about war and peace, injury and recovery, psychological wounds and spiritual restoration. But more than that, it is a story about the love between a man and dog, and how, together, they healed each other’s souls.

The Influence of Russian Literature on Spanish Authors in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism

Pages : 388
Book Description
The reception, familiarization and influence of Russian writers in late 19th century/early 20th century Spain has been a long-neglected area of investigation. This monograph studies certain characteristic moments of that process, beginning with the situation typical of much of the 19th century, in which a major Russian author like Pushkin was a least a presence, though still a decisively exotic one, on the Hispanic literary horizon.

Don Quixote and Catholicism
Author: Michael McGrath
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 1557539014
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Four hundred years since its publication, Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote continues to inspire and to challenge its readers. The universal and timeless appeal of the novel, however, has distanced its hero from its author and its author from his own life and the time in which he lived. The discussion of the novel’s Catholic identity, therefore, is based on a reading that returns Cervantes’s hero to Cervantes’s text and Cervantes to the events that most shaped his life. The authors and texts McGrath cites, as well as his arguments and interpretations, are mediated by his religious sensibility. Consequently, he proposes that his study represents one way of interpreting Don Quixote and acts as a complement to other approaches. It is McGrath’s assertion that the religiosity and spirituality of Cervantes’s masterpiece illustrate that Don Quixote is inseparable from the teachings of Catholic orthodoxy. Furthermore, he argues that Cervantes’s spirituality is as diverse as early modern Catholicism. McGrath does not believe that the novel is primarily a religious or even a serious text, and he considers his arguments through the lens of Cervantine irony, satire, and multiperspectivism. As a Roman Catholic who is a Hispanist, McGrath proposes to reclaim Cervantes’s Catholicity from the interpretive tradition that ascribes a predominantly Erasmian reading of the novel. When the totality of biographical and sociohistorical events and influences that shaped Cervantes’s religiosity are considered, the result is a new appreciation of the novel’s moral didactic and spiritual orientation.

Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
"Verónica Gerber writes with a luminous intimacy; her novel is clever, vibrant, moving, profoundly original. Reading it made me feel as if the world had been rebuilt." —Francisco Goldman "From the very beginning, Verónica Gerber set out to write a novel that would end up at a loss for words. She alone could achieve this feat: because she's a visual artist who takes everything she reads in as concentric circles threaded with color, and because she writes essays on painters who write across canvasses and writers who paint plots from the realities of life. . . . She alone could bring the necessary silence to a novel so perfect it ended up leaving me speechless as well." —Jorge F. Hernández How do you draw an affair? A family? Can a Venn diagram show the ways overlaps turn into absences, tree rings tell us what happens when mothers leave? Can we fall in love according to the hop skip of an acrostic? Empty Set is a novel of patterns, its young narrator's attempt at making sense of inevitable loss, tracing her way forward in loops, triangles, and broken lines. Verónica Gerber Bicecci is a visual artist who writes. In 2013 she was awarded the third Aura Estrada prize for literature. She is an editor with Tumbona Ediciones, a publishing cooperative with a catalogue that explores the intersections between literature and art.

A Disruptive Faith
Author: Tozer A. W.
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1459614712
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The word ''faith'' is common these days, but placing one's faith in God is a weighty action, uncommonly fraught with consequence and, by His design, inconvenience. Faith in God is reassuring and comforting only insofar as believers trust Him - and that depth of trust is the mark of a mature Christian who has allowed faith to intrude on his life and shift his gaze away from his own aims, needs and desires. This is nothing if not a painful and disturbing process. A Disruptive Faith is A. W. Tozer's never-before-published teaching on what he termed ''faith that perturbs'' - faith that contradicts the unbelieving man and threatens the complacency of the Christian. The renowned pastor and teacher insists in these pages that genuine faith breeds dissatisfaction with this life, by God's design; it weans us from this temporary life and prepares us for the life to come. Readers will learn to be content with this faith-inspired discontent and to experience a fresh hope for eternity with God.
