En este extraordinario libro, Bill Perkins cuenta historias reales de hombres buenos que tienen problemas con su enojo… hombres que se hacen daño a sí mismos y a otros; hombres que gritan o se valen del sarcasmo y los comentarios hirientes; hombres que se retraen en silencio y dejan de hablar; hombres marcados por un padre iracundo e incluso hombres cuyo enojo es justificado, pero no saben cómo expresarlo. Dado que todos los hombres experimentan enojo, todos los hombres pueden descubrir-como lo hicieron estos hombres-que su verdadera identidad en Cristo los capacita para manejar su enojo de una manera saludable.Basado en años de consejería y trabajo con los hombres, el exitoso autor Bill Perkins nos brinda sus conocimientos y nos lleva a la verdad que hay detrás de esta emoción mal entendida: qué es, de dónde viene, cómo la expresó Jesús y cómo los hombres pueden controlarla.In this extraordinary book, Bill Perkins tells real-life stories of good men dealing with their anger: men who hurt themselves and others, men who yell or make sarcastic and cutting remarks, men who withdraw and seethe in silence, and even men who are justified in their anger but don''t know how to express it. Since all men experience anger, all men can discover-as these did-how their true identity in Christ equips them to deal with anger in a healthy way.Based on years of counseling and working with men, best-selling author Bill Perkins shares his insights and leads men to the truth behind this misunderstood emotion: what it is, where it comes from, how Jesus expressed it, and how men can control it.Available in English from Tyndale.

The story of David’s “mighty men” (primarily found in 2 Samuel 23) drives this challenging and encouraging book for Christian men. The mighty men weren’t drafted into David’s army because of their impressive resumes. They were broken men who, given an opportunity to achieve greatness, responded like champions. In Six Battles Every Man Must Win, popular author and speaker Bill Perkins uses the story to illustrate the six battles David’s men fought, and men today must win, to become powerful and effective warriors in God''s kingdom.

Be honest, guys: Have you ever made a foolish or harmful decision when angry? Have you ever said or done something in the heat of the moment that you wish you could take back? Or do you tend to keep your anger hidden, choosing to bury the feeling and hoping it just goes away? No matter how often you get angry, or how you express it, Bill Perkins (best-selling author of When Good Men Are Tempted and 6 Rules Every Man Must Break) has written this book to provide you with the insight and biblical strategy you need to deal with this crucial issue (as well as help for the women in your life who are walking through the anger with you). Illustrated with research-based statistics and real-life stories of men who have successfully dealt with anger, When Good Men Get Angry explores the foundations of anger—what it is, where it comes from, how Jesus expressed it, and how the new and good man in you can control it.

Popular author and speaker Bill Perkins challenges you to spend twelve weeks discovering what it really means to live like Jesus. More than a book, it’s an invitation for you to try becoming like him in your feelings, thoughts, words, and deeds. Each week, you’ll focus on a different aspect of Jesus’ life, including how he faced his fears, how he talked with God, and how he helped others. As you examine your own life in light of the Lord’s, you’ll be amazed at how your mind and heart will change to more closely reflect his.

Imagina que, antes de tu muerte, hubieras hecho todo lo que se te había dicho. Has trabajado siempre duro, has ahorrado dinero y has esperado con ilusión la independencia económica en el momento de la jubilación. Lo único que has malgastado a lo largo del camino ha sido tu vida. Morir con cero nos presenta una nueva filosofía sorprendente y provocadora, además de una guía práctica sobre cómo sacar el máximo provecho a tu dinero y a tu vida. Está pensado para quienes colocan las experiencias memorables para toda la vida muy por encima de la mera ganancia y acumulación de dinero para los llamados «años dorados». En resumen, Bill Perkins quiere rescatarte de la práctica del ahorro excesivo y de vivir de una forma mediocre. Independientemente de cuál sea tu edad, Morir con cero te enseñará el plan de Perkins para optimizar tu vida, etapa por etapa, de forma que te impliques del todo y que disfrutes de aquello por lo que has trabajado y ahorrado. Con la lectura de este libro, descubrirás cómo maximizar los momentos memorables de toda tu vida con el «agrupamiento de experiencias», cómo convertir tus ingresos en memorias de valor incalculable, siguiendo tu «curva del patrimonio neto», y sabrás si debes invertir en o retrasar una aventura importante basándote en tu «curva de gasto» y tu «curva de tasa de interés personal». Empleando sus propias experiencias de la vida, además de las historias inspiradoras y los relatos admonitorios de otras personas, y recurriendo a conocimientos reveladores sobre el tiempo, el dinero y la felicidad procedentes del mundo de la psicología y el de las finanzas, Perkins te aporta argumentos oportunos, convincentes y a contracorriente a favor de vivir a lo grande.
