A New York Times Bestseller
For Lady Gaga, kindness is the driving force behind everything she says and does. The quiet power of kindness can change the way we view one another, our communities, and even ourselves. She embodies this mission, and through her work, brings more kindness into our world every single day. Lady Gaga has always believed in the importance of being yourself, being kind to yourself, and being kind to others, no matter who they are or where they come from. With that sentiment in mind, she and her mother, Cynthia Germanotta, founded Born This Way Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to making the world a kinder and braver place. Through the years, they've collected stories of kindness, bravery and resilience from young people all over the world, proving that kindness truly is the universal language. And now, we invite you to read these stories and follow along as each and every young author finds their voice just as Lady Gaga has found hers. Within these pages, you'll meet young changemakers who found their inner strength, who prevailed in the face of bullies, who started their own social movements, who decided to break through the mental health stigma and share how they felt, who created safe spaces for LGBTQ+ youth, and who have embraced kindness with every fiber of their being by helping others without the expectation of anything in return. In one story, you'll read about a young person with an autoimmune disease, who after being bullied at school, learned how to practice self-love and started an organization with the mission of educating others about the importance of self-love, too; and in another story, you'll meet a young person who decided to start a movement to help eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and encouraged others to talk about their feelings openly and honestly, a reminder that kindness and mental wellness go hand in hand. Not only were we moved by these individual acts of kindness, but we were also touched by the many stories of organizations, neighborhoods, and entire communities that fully dedicated themselves to helping those in need and found new, innovative ways to make our world a kinder and braver place. Individually and collectively, these stories prove that kindness not only saves lives but builds community. Kindness is inclusion, it is pride, it is empathy, it is compassion, it is self-respect and it is the guiding light to love. Kindness is always transformational, and its never-ending ripples result in even more kind acts that can change our lives, our communities, and our world.Are you tired of the comparison game and trying to keep up?

La relevancia que tienen en nuestra vida las consecuencias derivadas de nuestras decisiones diarias.
Este libro -advierte el autor- no es un manual de ética para alumnos de bachillerato. No contiene información sobre los más destacados autores y más importantes movimientos de la teoría moral a lo largo de la historia...
Este libro no es más que eso, sólo un libro. Personal y subjetivo, como la relación que une a un padre con su hijo; pero por eso mismo universal como la relación entre padre e hijo, la más común de todas.
Ha sido pensado y escrito para que puedan leerlo los adolescentes: probablemente enseñará muy pocas cosas a sus maestros. Su objetivo no es fabricar ciudadanos bienpensantes (ni mucho menos malpensados) sino estimular el desarrollo de librepensadores
In today's world, the topic of homosexuality seems to be part of daily conversation in the media, in politics, and even inside churches, with pressure to accept one view or the other. And if you're a Christian teen, you may feel overwhelmed by the opinions. New York Times bestselling author Dr. Preston Sprinkle has encountered these same questions, and as a theologian and a college professor he has dealt with these issues firsthand.
Through honest conversation, real-life examples, and biblical research, Dr. Sprinkle unpacks what we can know to be true, and how Scripture's overall message to us today allows us to move forward and find answers that align with God's intent.
Living in a Gray World explores with readers:
Dr. Sprinkle shares biblical truth and compassion about this important topic. This book isn't just for straight students, it's for all students looking for information and guidance. Living in a Gray World is also an educational book that parents can read and discuss with their children.
Soon after the passing of his mother, Mada decides to relocate to some warmth from the sun down south. Shortly afterward, he meets Venus, a woman who completes him while also helps him hone in on his special gift from the Almighty Creator.
A gift which he hid from everyone for many years of his life because he viewed it as a curse.
A gift which he is just learning to channel into after many years of confusion.
As he begins to understand his blessing from the Heavenly Father, he realizes what his life's purpose is. But it won't be as simple as it sounds. As he realizes his calling and what God has planned for him, he turns to the Holy Bible to seek the answers to some hard questions pertaining to history.
Questions which question the existence of the first man, creation, and the very beginning of humanity. Questions which could ultimately lead to the entire world viewing Christianity and religion itself in a whole different aspect of life. This book will leave the reader in suspense wondering if the words which they read are true or could have some possible theory or explanation to the wicked and evil deeds committed by humanity throughout the years of evolution.
But his task won't be easy as the enemy deceives and manipulates the masses in his attempt to battle against God.
Fiction meets facts in this tale of good and evil that will leave you questioning what is real and what is not.
--Luis Marrero Sr., author
Jesus has now entered into the streets. A superb and suspenseful mixture of Christianity blended into today's modern way of life's living.

En este libro preciso y descarnado, Bernie Sanders, un político estadounidense de larga trayectoria progresista y senador independiente autodefinido como socialista democrático, traza un diagnóstico de las calamidades sociales que afectan a Estados Unidos. Entre estas, Sanders delinea la creciente desigualdad de ingresos (el 1% más rico de los norteamericanos posee tanta riqueza como el 90% más pobre), la brutalidad policial, la inaccesibilidad a la educación superior, el racismo, los laberintos del sistema sanitario...
Sanders deja enseñanzas para el resto del mundo: hay que transformar el sistema.I'm Coming Out of This is written by Beverly Ann Smith-Glasper. This book is a literary concept and a tool to show women as well as men how they can come out of domestic altercations yet leaning and depending on the Lord. There is an answer, there is hope, there is a compelling comforter which is the Holy Ghost to see you through every aspect of your life if you yield that power to God. There is no weapon that is formed against us that is able to prosper and to take over and to cancel out the divine assignment that the Lord has placed over each and every one of our lives. When man said no, Jesus says yes, you can you can do all things through Christ that that strengthens you. With this book, I'm admonishing all women and those men that have been victims as well to take off of garment of heaviness and replace it with a garment of praise knowing that your Father Who Art in Heaven has provided a scapegoat out every catastrophic situation that the devil meant for bad in your life. Now shake yourself, jump out of the fire, and stand therefore in the liberty we're in Christ have made you free because if I can come out the same God and the same deity it's able to bring you out as well. When the enemy came against you in like a flood, Jesus rose up a standard against them, and I command you, Satan, in the name of the Lord to take your hands off, move out of my way because I'm coming out and you can too
It is so hard to be a young person today. The world is full of many challenges, and the pressures young people face today are not like any others we have seen in the past. Families are so busy or broken, and communication is almost nonexistent. Phones, games, and social media are ways this generation communicates. As attentions are drawn to the new ways of communication, it appears the true message for living has become distorted. Inside, you will find biblical guidelines to either get or keep you on track through life's challenges. The examples may seem a bit silly, but they are intended to show that a positive can, in fact, replace a negative thought. My hope is this book may become a guide and a place to put thoughts as well as a reference to refer back to throughout your life. May you dare to be different
