Best Selling Books by John Hope

El verdadero poder del mundo actual está basado en la independencia financiera. El problema es que a muchas personas les queda sobrando demasiado mes al final de su cheque salarial. John Hope Bryant, fundador y CEO de Operation HOPE, ilumina el camino escondido que conduce hacia la liberación financiera mediante un simple mensaje: la mayoría de las personas –tanto las que viven en la pobreza, y a quienes Bryant llama la clase invisible, como los millones que aun perteneciendo a la clase media también luchan cada día por su sustento– no ha desarrollado todavía su inteligencia financiera. Aprovechando su experiencia personal después de haberse sobrepuesto a circunstancias económicas bastante desfavorables, y basándose en la labor que ha venido desarrollando en Operation HOPE, Bryant propone cinco reglas que sientan las bases para lograr libertad financiera, enfatizando siempre sobre la conexión inseparable que existe entre el "capital interno" (mentalidad, relaciones, conocimiento y espíritu) y el "capital externo" (riqueza y prosperidad financiera). "Si tienes capital interno", afirma Bryant, "nunca serás verdaderamente pobre". En cambio, si careces de capital interno, ni todo el dinero del mundo logrará liberarte de la pobreza". En esta entretenida lectura, John Hope Bryant nos invita a reinventarnos basados en el potencial que nos ha dado Dios para ser grandiosos e ilimitados, y nos da las bases para construir empresas y organizaciones sostenibles y transformacionales que sean altamente exitosas. Todos tenemos más poder del que nos damos cuenta, si tan solo sabemos reconocerlo y reclamarlo. Según él afirma: " Somos nuestro primer capital", " Somos los jefes de nuestra propia vida".

"Nearly a decade has passed since the publication of the ninth edition of the "new" From Slavery to Freedom. In the preface of that edition, I introduced the theme "the present in history" to describe the organizing principle that informed my revision of this classic survey of African American history. The theme reflected the book''s inclusion of new chapter titles and information, new historical actors and intellectual crosscurrents, as well as new scholarly interpretations and methodologies. In the ninth edition I asserted that "historical scholarship is not only different but far more complex than in 1947 or in 1967 or in 1988 or even in 2000-the dates of some of the earlier editions, including the eighth edition.""-- Provided by publisher.

The eighth edition of this best selling text has been thoroughly revised to include expanded material on the slave resistance, the recent history of African Americans in the United States, more on the history of women, and popular culture. The text has also been redesigned with new charts, maps, photographs, paintings, illustrations, and color inserts and an extensive package has been assembled, using technology and other multimedia to bring history to life. Written by distinguished and award-winning authors, retaining the same features that have made it the most popular text on African American History ever, and with fresh and appealing new features, From Slavery to Freedom remains the most revered, respected, honored text on the market.

A beautiful retelling of Jonah and Whale from The Bible. Forcefully taken from his Amazon rainforest home, Pupak is faced with assisting the very Brazilian white men who slaughtered his village. But the gods are angry that he''s running from his destiny and after superstitious sailors toss him to the sea in order to calm a ranging storm, he is swallowed by a great, metal beast the white men call a submarine. INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR Q - How are the Amazon rainforests related to a story from The Bible? A - Based on the Book of Jonah, PUPAK AND THE GREAT FISH tells the fictional story of Pupak, a real-life native to the Amazonian rain forests and at the time of this story''s publication was one of the last surviving members of the Akuntsu tribe. Some regard the Book of Jonah as a work of fiction. But whether the story is fiction or a true historical account, it beautifully illustrates how God''s perspective of man''s wrongdoing is far different than that of man. In this story, Pupak''s tribe has largely been killed off by invasive efforts of Portuguese-speaking Brazilians and Pupak is forced to learn, as Jonah had, that despite his anger toward the Brazilians, revenge is not the answer. Q - What is The Masters Reimagined? A - In The Masters Reimagined, ten authors unite to bring something new to the classic stories of literature we all know so well. Masters like James Joyce, Rudyard Kipling, Lewis Carroll, Herman Melville, Leo Tolstoy, and Shakespeare inspired the authors of the Alvarium Experiment in their quest to reinterpret, reinvent, and reshape the stories and characters through speculative twists and turns. This is the third project by the Alvarium Experiment, a consortium of accomplished and award-winning authors. Q - Where should a reader start when selecting a short story to read in The Masters Reimagined? A - Each story is self-contained and can be read in any order. The reader is free to select any of the stories at random to begin their experience. The book description will explain the premise for each particular story.
