Called to Peace: A Survivor's Guide to Finding Peace and Healing after Domestic Abuse
Par Joy Forrest. 2018
What do you do when you don’t believe in divorce, but find yourself in a toxic, or even dangerous, marriage?…
This is an agonizing struggle for many women; it certainly was for Joy Forrest, founder of Called to Peace Ministries. Joy prayed, sought counseling, and read every book she could find on the subject, but the intimidation she endured from her husband continued to escalate until fleeing the danger became her only option. Even then, she found herself overwhelmed by guilt and shame. As a devout Believer, Joy immersed herself in prayer and Bible study and, over time, began to see God’s heart for the oppressed and realized the erroneous beliefs that had kept her in bondage. Called to Peace is one part memoir and one part guidebook. Joy’s story and insight will help you to recognize the signs of an abusive relationship, as well as provide you with spiritual truths to combat guilt and promote healing after abuse. Whether you are in an abusive relationship yourself or desire to help someone else who is suffering from domestic abuse, this book offers hope, inspiration, and biblical guidance.A Hard Road to Glory, Volume 1 (1619-1918): A History of the African-American Athlete
Par Arthur Ashe Jr.. 1988
With a Foreword by Jeanne Moutoussamy-AsheAvailable once again for a new generation of readers, the first volume in Arthur Ashe’s…
epic trilogy that chronicles the remarkable legacy of Black athletes in the United States—a major addition to our understanding of American history and the fulfillment of this legendary sports star and global activist’s lifelong dream.When tennis great Arthur Ashe first published his A Hard Road to Glory trilogy, this ambitious project—recognizing the contributions of Black athletes to American sports and culture—was the first of its kind, a milestone in the presentation of United States social history.Ashe had long believed that Black people needed to know their cultural history. But while teaching a seminar on the history of African American athletes at Florida Memorial College in 1981, he realized there was a vast amount of material about Black achievement that had never been collected, analyzed, and interpreted. To help to fill the gap, he began with the subject he knew best: sports.A Hard Road to Glory Volume 1 covers the period from 1619, when enslaved Africans were first brought to American shores, to 1918, the end of the First World War. Ashe reveals that from 1865 through 1896, Black Americans succeeded spectacularly in sports, witnessing accomplishments of athletes like Jack Johnson, the first Black heavyweight champion; Marshall Taylor, “the world's fastest cyclist;” and Isaac Murphy, a Hall of Fame jockey and the first three-time winner of the Kentucky Derby.In 2021, Black athletes and Black women in particular are receiving more visibility than ever for their unparalleled, world record-breaking excellence, their activism, and their leadership and vision. Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Naomi Osaka are consistently elevating athletics and are reshaping the way we think about sports, excellence, society, and history.Arthur Ashe paved the way for them all; A Hard Road to Glory is fundamental to our understanding of Black athletes and our nation’s past, present, and future. Now more than ever, this collection is one of this amazing icon’s greatest legacies—a treasure to be celebrated by readers today and those to come.One More Day Everywhere: Crossing 50 Borders on the Road to Global Understanding
Par Glen Heggstad. 2009
The motorcycle adventurer and author of Two Wheels Through Terror delivers a &“spectacular and gripping read&” of his solo journey…
around the world (Friction Zone). In November of 2001, on a motorcycle trip to the tip of South America, Glen Heggstad was kidnapped at gunpoint by Colombian rebels and held captive for five weeks. Yet even after his traumatic incarceration, Glen did what few others would—finished his trip. Three years later, frustrated by the climate of fear in a media-saturated world and the resulting stranglehold of self-imposed security in the United States, Glen decided to look for truth on his own terms—on the back of his motorcycle. Starting in Japan, Glen wound his way through Siberia, Mongolia, Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa, stopping in over thirty countries. This was not a tourist&’s bus tour—Glen battled extreme temperatures, knee-deep mud, bureaucratic roadblocks, health problems, and loneliness, but these problems faded to insignificance with the thrill of the open road and the smiling receptions he received from locals and fellow bikers at every turn. With One More Day Everywhere, readers can share Glen Heggstad&’s vision of a world ungoverned by fear and, like Glen, embrace each experience, with one eye always on the horizon. &“If anyone knows determination, perseverance, agony and terror it is Glen Heggstad. And that motorcycles are fun!&” —Jimmy Lewis, editor, Cycle World Magazine &“This is a story of extreme travel at its finest.&” —RoadRunner &“Heggstad manages to illustrate the joys and hardships and benefits and drawbacks of two-wheeled global travel to some of the most difficult places on the planet.&” —Friction ZoneThe Cost of Comfort (American Philosophy)
Par John Lachs. 2019
Why do we feel empty when our lives seem so full? A philosopher&’s &“clear, engaging reflection&” on the psychic risks…
of today&’s world (John T. Lysaker, author of After Emerson). While comfort has not always reached everyone evenly, most of us who live in the United States today reap the benefits of modern life. We live longer, we eat better food, we have access to good medical care, and we can stay in touch with loved ones who are far away. Yet, as philosopher John Lachs observes, these comfortable lives come at a cost: our increasing unhappiness. Irresponsible behavior, including by those in positions of power in governments and corporations, only increases and multiplies feelings of bitterness and disaffection. In this book, Lachs argues that this dizzyingly complex world often inspires isolation, and that deeper engagement with it is required in order to dispel our growing psychic distance. Lachs advocates for mediation and champions education, advertising, openness, and transparency to help individuals understand the roles they play in society and to nullify claims to blamelessness. Lachs suggests new rules for responsibility and argues that examining and understanding the consequences of one&’s actions is imperative to overcoming the ills and problems of the modern world—and to find the fulfillment we seek. &“A very clear, engaging reflection on a genuine contemporary issue: deep feelings of disengagement and bewilderment about how to live responsibly in an almost overwhelmingly complex world.&” —John T. Lysaker, author of After EmersonAbraza tus partes rotas: Conócete, acéptate, sánate
Par María Ros. 2023
Atrévete a mirar adentro para conocerte, entenderte y, así, sanar tus heridas y tus partes rotas. «María te enseña y…
te abraza con cada palabra de este libro; disfrutar de su elegancia y su ternura en estas páginas me parece un lujo». —Lorena Gascón, @lapsicologajaputa Desde que nacemos, nos enseñan que tenemos que sonreír, ser fuertes, sentirnos felices y poder con todo. Nos dicen que no tengamos miedo, no estemos tristes y no nos mostremos vulnerables. Entonces ¿por qué nos sorprende que, ya adultos, no sepamos relacionarnos de una forma sana con nuestras emociones? ¿Por qué nos extraña tener tanto miedo a lo que sentimos, no saber cómo procesar un duelo o cómo enfrentarnos a una situación estresante? Para sanar las heridas internas y superar procesos como la ansiedad o la depresión, necesitamos entender que la vida no va de estar siempre alegres, necesitamos aprender a mirar adentro y a curar aquello que se ha roto. La psicóloga María Ros, nos invita a parar y observar, con una mirada comprensiva, cada una de nuestras heridas, pues solo desde ahí podremos empezar a cerrarlas. Abraza tus partes rotas nos muestra el camino para conocernos, entendernos y sanarnos, con conciencia y compasión, sin juzgarnos. Reseñas:«Abraza tus partes rotas nos ayuda a mandar a la mierda la capa de Superman y Superwoman, para que por fin podamos permitirnos ser vulnerables, y nos da herramientas para ser amables con todo lo que nos encontramos en el camino hacia nosotros mismos. María te enseña y te abraza con cada palabra de este libro; disfrutar de su elegancia y suternura en estas páginas me parece un lujo».Lorena Gascón, @lapsicologajaputa, psicóloga y autora de Querido cerebro, ¿qué coño quieres de mí? «María nos invita a hacer un muy necesario viaje al interior que, conociéndola, no estará exento de sensibilidad; una sensibilidad más que necesaria para abrazar las emociones incómodas y aquellas partes que nos resultan más difíciles de mirar».Montse Cazcarra, @montsecazcarrapsicologia, psicóloga y autora de Amor sano, amor del bueno«Este libro es una bocanada de aire fresco hacia el autoconocimiento y autocuidado que todos necesitamos: mirarnos con amor y vernos a nosotros mismos como nuestros mejores amigos.

De prosa maravillosa, amable con nuestros conceptos y que nos pone a reflexionar, la lectura de Por amor a mí es un viaje hermoso por la fisiología y psicología del amor, es una obra invaluable, sin precedente.”-Eduardo Calixto “Leer Por amor a mí es una maravillosa forma de recordar que el amor propio es el primer paso para sanar emocionalmente y amar lo que hacemos con intensidad.

Alma Lozano es una voz femenina, fresca, espontánea y muy preparada, que cuestiona paradigmas y los sustituye por autocompasión.” -Gaby Pérez Islas“Por amor a mí de Alma Lozano, más que un libro es esa pieza del rompecabezas que te faltaba para entender tu dolor, es esa respuesta que tanto buscaste cuando te preguntaron ‘¿Y qué pasó con ustedes?’, pero sobre todo, es esa información necesaria para aprender a amar a la persona más importante, a la verdadera compañía de tus días más oscuros: a ti. Este libro me enseñó que no siempre se está bien y que eso está bien.”-Yordi RosadoThinking on My Feet: The small joy of putting one foot in front of another (Kate Humble)
Par Kate Humble. 2018
** SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE**** SHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL WRITING AWARD - TRAVEL MEMOIR OF THE YEAR…
**A lovely, civilised and transporting read, that should have all of us stepping out to meet the world with fresh eyes.' - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall'An enticing read that makes every walk Humble describes an adventure' - Ranulph Fiennes'A beautiful and magnificent book. A paean to a simple act. I defy you to read this book and not be inspired to walk, march or hike - and as a result live a better life more connected with nature and the world around you.' - Simon Reeve'A lovely book, fast-flowing yet at every turn giving the reader pause for thought. Kate Humble makes a delightful companion, her words full of sunshine and the raw pleasure she radiates as she encounters life in its many unexpected forms.' - Benedict Allen'I've discovered that going for a daily walk has become as essential to me feeling good for the rest of the day as that first cup of tea. But I would argue that all I am doing is responding to a natural need we all have. Humans have always been migrants, the physiological urge to be nomadic is deep-rooted in all of us and perhaps because of that our brains are stimulated by walking. I solve all sorts of problems, formulate ideas, work things out to that gentle rhythm of self-propelled movement.' - Kate HumbleThinking on My Feet tells the story of Kate's walking year - shining a light on the benefits of this simple activity. Kate's inspiring narrative not only records her walks (and runs) throughout a single year, but also charts her feelings and impressions throughout - capturing the perspectives that only a journey on foot allows - and shares the outcomes: a problem solved, a mood lifted, an idea or opportunity borne. As she explores the reasons why we walk, whether for creative energy, challenge and pleasure, or therapeutic benefits, Kate's reflections and insights will encourage, motivate and spur readers into action.Also featured are Kate's walks with others who have discovered the magical, soothing effect of putting one foot in front of the other - the artist who walks to find inspiration for his next painting; the man who takes people battling with addiction to climb mountains; the woman who walked every footpath in Wales (3,700 miles) when she discovered she had cancer.This book will inspire you to change your perspective by applying walking to your daily endeavours.*PRAISE FOR THINKING ON MY FEET *'A diary of sorts, charting a year of wonderful walks through the sun, wind and rain...each entry builds an image of her life in the great outdoors...it sounds idyllic to say the least.' - Sunday Express, S Magazine'These are 365 days of inspiration to get out and, sometimes literally, smell the flowers.' - Wanderlust Magazine'Humble's book about going for a walk can inspire absolutely anyone to make a change. Because all you have to do is step outside the front door.' - Waitrose Weekend'Witty, enlightening and often startlingly profound' - Country Walking MagazineA Farewell to Arms, Legs & Jockstraps: A Sportswriter's Memoir
Par Diane K. Shah. 2020
“Diane Shah was a boots-on-the-ground female sports reporter in the Cro-Magnon 1970s and brings it all back in this hilarious,…
well-crafted book.” —Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe sports columnist and New York Times bestselling authorStrike fast, strike hard—whether it’s scoring a homerun or front-page news, Diane K. Shah, former sports columnist, knows how to grab the best story.In her memoir A Farewell to Arms, Legs, and Jockstraps, follow Diane’s escapades, from interviews with a tipsy Mickey Mantle, to sneaking into off-limits Republican galas, dining with Frank Sinatra, flying a plane with Dennis Quaid, and countless other adventures where she wields her tape recorder and a tireless drive for more.From skirting KGB agents while covering the Cold War Olympics to hunting down the three mechanical sharks starring in Jaws, Diane’s experiences are filled with real heart and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. An insightful look into the difficulties of navigating a male-dominated profession, A Farewell to Arms, Legs, and Jockstraps offers rich retellings and behind-the-scenes details of stories of a trailblazing career and the prejudices facing female sportswriters during the sixties and seventies.“Impossibly elegant, and the most fun ever. The only thing better than reading Diane K. Shah’s memoir was, I suppose, living it.” —Sally Jenkins, columnist and feature writer, Washington Post“Diane’s memoir is just like her columns—smart, funny, enlightening—just like her. Until reading it, I never really knew all the challenges she dealt with. She broke ground but never acted like it. I was lucky to work with the first female sports columnist in the country.” —Ken Gurnick, LA Dodgers correspondent for MLB.com'Oi, Key': Tales of a Journeyman Cricketer
Par Rob Key. 2020
The Sky Sports commentator and former Kent captain “show[s] his great cricketing brain and insight into those that play it…
and the game itself” (Royal Ascot Cricket Club).EX-England batsman Rob Key is one of the wittiest pundits on TV. Whether it’s a drizzly day-nighter in Derby or a World Cup Final at Lord’s, Key’s wizardry with the mic more than matches that which he had with the bat. In his new book, Key reflects on the past and present of an ever-unforgiving game, in so doing shining light into the darkest recesses of the locker room. What he finds there is as amusing as it is shocking, as farcical as it is fascinating. Known as one of the sharpest cricket brains around, Key casts a knowledgeable and sometimes acerbic eye over such areas as fitness, captaincy, and sledging, while delivering a close-up view of some of the biggest names in the game. More than anything, Key reveals just what it is to be a professional cricketer, the camaraderie, the comedy, and, of course, the calamity.“Key has produced a book which reflects his personality and career beautifully, a lovely gentle jaunt through the career of a likeable honest player, a player who probably deserved more chance at the highest level, but with storytelling like this, it is easy to see why his broadcasting career has blossomed and taken him now to the highest level of his new chosen career.” —Deep Extra CoverChildren and Exercise XIX: Promoting health and well-being

A lot. In fact, he&’s kind of an expert at it—which…
is why he&’s uniquely qualified to say that failure is a good thing.On paper, the chubby, poor, gay son of a lesbian who wrote pornographic letters to Jesus isn&’t the person that you think of when you hear the word &“success.&” Yet Patrick Hinds has somehow managed to bungle his way through to become the successful co-host of True Crime Obsessed—a podcast with more than 200 million downloads.Before that, though, he failed at many, many things. Patrick&’s life is a series of fiascos, missteps, and just plain bad ideas. An eternal optimist, he&’s always thrown himself into everything he&’s done, even when he probably shouldn&’t have. He devoted himself to becoming an actor even though he was terrible, started a daycare even though he hated kids, and somehow had a disastrous time with Bea Arthur . . . even though he couldn&’t be gayer.Both heartfelt and hilarious, Failure Is Not Not an Option lets Patrick&’s signature storytelling style shine—and it&’s also the only book to bravely and definitively declare:1: Failing simply means that you tried (and if you try enough, eventually success will be an option, too).2: Ted Bundy is. Not. Hot. By trying, and yes, failing at so many things, Patrick finally found his way—to a great career, a great husband, and a great family. Along the way, there were hurdles to jump, unexpected surprises, and no shortage of laughter. Failure is Not NOT an Option is a fun and outrageous read that will raise you up—and provide a soft landing pad for the next time you fall.Autoestima punk: Cómo acabar con la autoestima happy flower

Par The Athletic. 2023
From The Athletic, powerhouse of sports reporting, comes the definitive story of the greatest football players of all time.It is…
a question that has bedeviled football fans for generations: Who’s the best? Of the more than 25,000 men who have suited up during the NFL’s century of existence, which ones stood head and shoulders above all others?At The Athletic, home to the best newsroom in sports, this question would become a labor of love for dozens of the best football writers on the planet, including Mike Sando and Dan Pompei. Over the course of 100 riveting profiles—each drawing upon unparalleled access and superlative storytelling to offer intimate perspective on what made the greatest players tick—these writers reveal their findings. In the process, they also uncover the history of football.In the early days of the NFL, the game bore little resemblance to the product we see today. Points were scarce, the forward pass was an exotic strategic curiosity, and most players played all 60 minutes—both sides of the ball. It was on the shoulders of the many greats who starred in the League over the last century that the game of football blossomed. Each profile in The Football 100 uses the vivid narrative storytelling for which The Athletic is known to bring to life extraordinary athletic talents, tactical geniuses who changed the way the game is played, and legendary, outsized personalities. Based on many hundreds of interviews with players, coaches, broadcasters, and others, this is a penetrating look at the greatest players to ever don cleats and pads, as well as a view from the trenches of the harsh realities of a brutal game. 100 photographs throughout the text offer testament to both the glory and the physical toll of football.Deeply reported, beautifully written, and sure to spark heated debate among football fans of all stripes, The Football 100 sets a new standard for writing about the game.
