Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Una gran parte de la sabiduría popular son esas frases breves e ingeniosas, que en pocas palabras expresan el conocimiento de las costumbres y son un pequeño resumen de sabiduría popular. Durante mucho tiempo estas coloquiales ideas formaron parte importante de la enseñanza y se transmitieron de padres a hijos; son manifestaciones claras del ingenio, de la observación y de la experiencia y fueron mil veces repetidas: algunas de ellas han pasado de moda, pero la mayoría siguen vigentes. Sin embargo se ha ido perdiendo la valiosa tradición de herencia hispana, porque un absurdo modernismo nos ha invadido, no sólo en cuanto al lenguaje, sino también respecto a la comunicación entre los padres y sus hijos. Afecta la falta de convivencia familiar y la desintegración de la misma, la influencia de la TV y el internet, que han distorsionado los valores tradicionales de las familias mexicanas. Se han filtrado costumbres importadas de otros países que no tienen mucho en común con México. Lástima que sólo se contagie lo malo, porque la puntualidad, la responsabilidad, la honestidad y el respeto a las leyes, que practican los ciudadanos de otros países, no las tomamos en cuenta, ni conservamos aquellas tradiciones que nos enriquecieron, siendo factores fuertes de la unión, el desarrollo y el progreso que tanta falta nos hacen, especialmente en los últimos años, ya que la violencia, la desconfianza y la inseguridad, son los elementos negativos que predominan. Mi padre alguna vez tuvo el deseo de hacer una recopilación de refranes y un día de tantos y en homenaje a él, comencé a escribir unos cuantos que recordaba y cuando me dí cuenta, eran muchos más de lo que me imaginaba. La gran mayoría tienen su origen en la obra de Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, 'Don Quijote de la Mancha' también llamado El Caballero de la triste figura; otros provienen de la Sagrada Biblia, y muchos otros se originan en las distintas regiones, según la influencia racial, el clima y las costumbres. Muchos los aprendí de labios de Papá, otros de Mamá, de mis maestros y otros tantos al paso de la vida, que es gran maestra. Aquellos que aprendí siendo una niña forman parte de mis recuerdos más preciados y me han traído evocaciones de aquella muy lejana época, agradeciendo a Dios y a mis queridos padres el don de la vida y de aquella feliz convivencia familiar con mis hermanos. Todo pertenece al pasado, un tiempo que no regresa, pero en la memoria reviven aquellos recuerdos felices que forman parte esencial de cada persona. Quiero compartir con ustedes los refranes, dichos y dicharachos que no sólo me pertenecen al haberlos recopilado con interés y curiosidad, sino que son comunes a todos los que crecimos con estas enseñanzas prácticas y enriquecedoras. Mi deseo es que los disfruten. Susana Arredondo Oliveros (Ahora: Susana Arredondo Laclette).…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is my personal work and tool I use to help support me with my tasks and duties as a registered veterinary technician (RVT). Anyone who has worked directly with me knows about my pocket brain. I have shared and exchanged information in this small book to aid myself in patient care as well as support others who may have struggled and/or needed similar information to excel in their daily duties.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Hand of Allah is a political thriller/ mystery set in 12th Century Cordoba. It features two of the most brilliant men in history: who were contemporaries: Abu Walid ibn Rushd (Averroes) and Maimonides. Against a conspiracy that threatens to upturn their world and the character of Islam in Spain, these men face a test where the future of Spain is in the balance.'You must accept the truth from whatever source it comes,' Moses Maimonides issued this challenge in his 'Guide for the Perplexed,' a work that sought to reconcile Aristotelian methods with Jewish theology. I traveled to Cordoba a few years back to prepare and research this book. Cordoba struck me then as a fascinating city with magnificent history and, often displayed, indescribable beauty, even in the most unexpected of places. In its history, beauty, flowers, achievements and even in its darker history, the city exudes truth for anyone who will look. For example, the Great Mosque is an architectural masterpiece that has few equals in the world, but it has been conquered and reconquered in bloody brutal struggles all in the name of a God, which is essentially and paradoxically the same deity. As I stood before the statues of Averroes and Maimonides in that city, I envisioned this historical novel as a source of truth, not literally (there is much in it that is historical) but there is, a great deal of, my imagination. However, some of the most truthful books that I've ever read, Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov or Pasternak's Doctor Zhivago are examples of fiction that leads to universal truth. I wouldn't dare offer my modest little tale to that august company, except that it does seek to portray a greater truth with entertaining fiction-to the extent that my poor abilities can convey it.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Suicide is a serious and, sadly, increasingly common phenomenon in our world. It gets much more serious, though, when it affects those we personally know and love. Pursuit is the story of a pastor whose twin brother's death came in such a way, casting his life into turmoil. Using hunting and fishing stories to make complex emotions and ideas understandable, the reader will take a journey with the author through his past (with his brother) and toward healing. Along the way readers examine the identity crisis that the author faced, wrestle with biblical truths, and understand the anguish through which those affected by suicide often go. Pursuit is just that, a dogged pursuit to recover identity, something like normalcy, and healing in a world suddenly changed.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rhona sometimes used to say to me that, meeting me as she did when I was only twenty-five, she had had the best years of my life. Truer word was never spoken. While she (to my life-long shame, remorse and regret) unquestionably had some of the worst of me, I like to think, I hope, that she also had - such as it is - all of the best of me. I was twenty-five when we met and forty-six when she died. That's a hefty chunk of an important period of anybody's life and Rhona had it. For all its lows as well as highs, the downs as well as the ups - what else can you expect for two people together almost all the time for twenty-one years - what Rhona and I had, what we created, was a life. And she was, whatever anybody else says or thinks, despite my grievous mistakes, the centre of mine. There are no perfect people in this world but sometimes - just sometimes - two people can be perfect for each other.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Faith in God demands obedience and trust. The authors of Ebenezer's Grandson recount how each faltering step of obedience to that which they firmly believed to be God's guidance, led them and their family slowly into situations where their only security was God Himself and the promises of His word. In writing this book Leonard Holder recognises the debt he and his wife Phyllis owe to the faith and prayers of earlier generations. Their journey of faith led them north to Yorkshire and then to German-speaking Europe, where after six years in Switzerland they moved into the Black Forest in southern Germany and established Haus Barnabas, a centre for evangelism and the encouragement of Christians. Phyllis writes that for years she had really no idea what she was suited to, but gradually began to sense that God was showing her how her particular gifts and personality could best serve Him. Eventually she realised that God had fulfilled this vision; it was Haus Barnabas. This book is a detailed account of the journey. Some of their experiences along the way they wouldn't wish on anyone, but God knew the discipline and training the couple needed and His love and faithfulness is amazing.…
