¿Por qué algunos padres parecen ser más exitosos que otros? Algunos padres tienen un método, un estilo, o una actitud que ayuda a que sus hijos crezcan de una manera sana y robusta, aun cuando tienen desafíos considerables. Otros métodos, estilos, y actitudes están, la mayoría de las veces, asociados con hijos que continúan teniendo dificultades y se encuentran con desafíos aun más grandes al atravesar la niñez. En este libro el Dr. Hormachea trata los temas difíciles con los que se enfrentan los padres en la vida familiar y cómo pueden permitir que sus hijos no solamente venzan los desafíos sino que también lleguen a ser más cariñosos, más protectores, positivos, flexibles, firmes y creativos a medida que crecen. El doctor Hormachea cree que Dios no espera que tengamos buenos hijos sino que seamos buenos padres: Padres que en la medida que sea posible sean un modelo de buenos valores y que hagan pasar estas herramientas a sus hijos para que puedan escoger lo que es bueno para sus vidas. La estructura del libro permite tanto a padres como a hijos llevar a cabo el proceso del desarrollo de inculcar valores y formar la conciencia de un hijo.

An eloquent and timely plea for understanding refugees. Why are young people leaving their country to walk to the United States to seek a new, safe home? Over 100,000 such children have left Central America. This book of poetry helps us to understand why and what it is like to be them. This powerful book by award-winning Salvadoran poet Jorge Argueta describes the terrible process that leads young people to undertake the extreme hardships and risks involved in the journey to what they hope will be a new life of safety and opportunity. A refugee from El Salvador’s war in the eighties, Argueta was born to explain the tragic choice confronting young Central Americans today who are saying goodbye to everything they know because they fear for their lives. This book brings home their situation and will help young people who are living in safety to understand those who are not. Compelling, timely and eloquent, this book is beautifully illustrated by master artist Alfonso Ruano who also illustrated The Composition, considered one of the 100 Greatest Books for Kids by Scholastic’s Parent and Child Magazine.

An evocative and unforgettable memoir from award-winning journalist Carlos Frías about his journey to Cuba where he retraces his family's history and encounters the realities of Cuba under Fidel Castro's rule. Carlos Frías, an award-winning journalist and the American-born son of Cuban exiles, grew up hearing about his parents' homeland only in parables. Their Cuba, the one they left behind four decades ago, was ethereal. It existed, for him, only in their anecdotes, and in the family that remained in Cuba—merely ghosts on the other end of a telephone. Until Fidel Castro fell ill. Sent to Cuba by his newspaper as the country began closing to foreign journalists in August 2006, Frías begins the secret journey of a lifetime—twelve days in the land of his parents. That experience led to this evocative, spectacular, and unforgettable memoir. Take Me With You is written through the unique eyes of a first-generation Cuban-American seeing the forbidden country of his ancestry for the first time. Frías provides a fresh view of Cuba, devoid of overt political commentary, focusing instead on the gritty, tangible lives of the people living in Castro's Cuba. Frías takes in the island nation of today and attempts to reconstruct what the past was like for his parents, retracing their footsteps, searching for his roots, and discovering his history. The story creates lasting and unexpected ripples within his family on both sides of the Florida Straits—and on the author himself.

'The healing has begun. It began when you picked up this book. The goal of these offerings is to assist the children of the earth in the redevelopment of their minds, bodies and spirits . . . Buried deep in the earth are precious diamonds. In order to get to them, however, we must dig and dig deep.' In ACTS OF FAITH, life coach Iyanla Vanzant offers a inspirational passage for each day of the year, particularly aimed at people of colour. Vanzant considers that there are four basic areas that create stress and imbalance for people: our relationship with ourselves, our relationship with the world, our relationship with each other and our relationship with money. This book addresses all four issues in turn thus providing a meditative and uplifting guide to living successfully.

El tomar las cosas de Dios con liviandad y ligereza ha sido una constante en este momento que nos ha tocado vivir (sabiendo que son los últimos tiempos y que la venida del Señor está más cerca de lo que creemos). Cuando la dinámica social ha llevado a los seres humanos y, junto a ellos, muchísimos cristianos, a descuidar los preceptos bíblicos, olvidando lo que Dios quiere de nosotros y como bien dice aquí, estableciendo sus propias normas. Es precisamente hoy en día, cuando se observa una total ausencia de temor hacia Dios y los hombres en su falsa creencia de hacer las cosas bien, sin tomar en cuenta que es Dios, quien dándole libre albedrío, quiere que hagan las cosas como ÉL manda y que usen su entendimiento para discernir que es bueno y que es malo delante de ÉL y, por supuesto, optar por lo bueno. ¡Cuánto se necesita de obras como esta, muy bien trabajada y en un lenguaje sencillo, y fresco, comprensible para cualquier persona y que muestra una honda preocupación e inquietud por la poca importancia que los hombres dan a las cosas de Dios!
