Enrique Delgado Amador
When he lost his job in 2013, the author of this book tried to keep up with his traditional role as “head of the family”, but circumstances didn’t allow him to. That’s when the crisis arose: he felt frustrated and helpless because he couldn’t meet the expectations of others. This book invites you to walk through his personal process of liberation: it starts questioning the traditional male roles and then tries to create a whole world of what a man role in the family is.

The Gestures Of The Pope
Be authentic!
Keys of Pope Francis for communication
Ary Waldir Ramos Díaz
Who doesn’t remember the image of Francis washing the feet of prisoners on Holy Thursday, or kneeling before the leaders of South Sudan begging them to work towards peace in their country? All his gestures speak to us of tenderness, mercy, service, listening and hope: we’ve seen him caressing the elderly and the victims of trafficking, we’ve seen him having his picture taken with the people who are waiting for his arrival, in a small car… They are the gestures of a pastor who knows that communication must reach the minds and the hearts of people. What lesson can be drawn from the way Francis communicates, from his exercise of interpersonal relationships? The book Be authentic!, by the Vatican expert Ary Waldir Ramos, tries to answer these and other questions from the coherence, authenticity and depth that underlie the discourse and example of Pope Francis as a communicator.
