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.

Best-selling author Bryan Burrough recently made a shocking discovery: The small town of Temple, Texas, where he had grown up, had harbored a dark secret. One of his high school classmates, Danny Corwin, was a vicious serial killer. In this chilling tale, Burrough raises important questions of whether serial killers can be recognized before they kill or rehabilitated after they do. It is also a story of Texas politics and power that led the good citizens of the town of Temple to enable a demon who was their worst nightmare.

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.

Story
Roger Stringer grew up in rural Mississippi, hunting and eating everything from deer to rabbits. When he had two sons, Zac and Justin, he gave them guns and took them to the woods as well. Then one day when the boys were home alone, he got a call from Zac that Justin had been shot. What follows is an intimate and gripping memoir about the shooting’s aftermath. The story moves between the perspectives of Roger and Zac as they take us through their journey of betrayal, redemption, and ultimately confrontation with a company that had kept its corruption a secret for decades.

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.

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.
