La pobreza es solo ausencia de riqueza, algo que dados los mitos económicos de la época se suele olvidar. El libro plantea que al considerar a la pobreza como un fenómeno "causado", se incurre en una explicación falsa acerca de la creación de la riqueza y sus condiciones y cómo eso sirve a un proyecto político vitimizante y frustrante.

Publisher's summary
Alvaro del Portillo fue el colaborador más cercano y primer sucesor de San Josemaría Escrivá, el fundador del Opus Dei. La Iglesia Católica lo beatificó el 27 de septiembre de 2014. La beatificación es el paso previo a la canonización con la que se declara la santidad de una persona.
Saxum recoge la vida de Del Portillo: sus aventuras durante la Guerra Civil Española, su colaboración con Escrivá, su participación en el Concilio Vaticano II y sus años como prelado del Opus Dei.
Del Portillo ofrece un ejemplo atractivo de cómo vivir una vida auténticamente cristiana en las circunstancias más diversas. Es un modelo no solo de las virtudes específicamente cristianas de la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, sino también de las virtudes humanas que hacen a una persona buena y atractiva. Quizás el rasgo más llamativo de su personalidad fue su extraordinaria capacidad de hacer amigos con todo tipo de personas, desde el jardinero hasta el Papa Juan Pablo II, a quien le unió una amistad profunda.

For decades, Sandra Brown’s life has been intertwined with someone she has never met: an eleven year-old girl named Moira Anderson – who disappeared from their hometown of Coatbridge, Scotland, in 1957. It became one of the oldest cold cases in Scottish history. Sandra lived just around the corner from Moira. She grew up hearing about the missing girl, whose memory haunted the town. But she never imagined that, one day, she would be the one trying to uncover what happened. Or that her search for answers would reveal secrets and lies so close to home.

Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

Story
What’s it take to overcome the odds and change the game? That’s at the heart of the warm and revealing conversations between epic NBA sharpshooters—and father and son—Dell and Stephen Curry in their Audible Original Heat Check. While Dell laid the groundwork, Stephen later delivered a whole new era of jaw-dropping three-pointers from a time previously dominated by flying dunks. In these episodes, we hear how Stephen experienced his life’s journey and how Dell saw it play out.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

The police believe they know the killer’s identity but there’s no evidence against him, and the only thing linking him to the crime is the fact he’d been charged with sexually assaulting Helena just a few months previously.

A contemporary saint life story
Alvaro del Portillo is perhaps one of the (soon-to-be) saints less valued and reknown, according to his own life testimony, always behind St Josemaria's steps. However, when you listen to this audiobook, you will discover not only a saint, a faithful man, an effective director life but the entire track of the Opus Dei to see the light from inception to its first stage consolidation. It is well documented and told in an agile manner, so the story is totally enjoyable while you learn from one key and have-to-know character of the Church current story.

Inspirador
Excepcionalmente bueno este libro. Me ha ayudado no solamente a entender mejor lo que es el Opus Dei, sino a encender en mi esas ganas y convicción de buscar la Santidad en la vida ordinaria. Ampliamente recomendado.
