Paperback. Condizione: Good. IN THE PRESENCE OF LOVE Ernesto is poetry in practice. When you read this book, you will get an intimate and profound glimpse of this very special man who says, This particular book could be defined in the phrase ''love is not only for oneself but for the beloved'', but for Ernesto, the beloved is God. And it is true. Even though at first the poems may evoke feelings for a luscious woman, soon you will realize that the writings are about Sod, the Divine. As Ernesto searches for the presence of God in his life, his soul gets inspiration from things most of us take for granted.the fact that he is alive, the way he embraces life in the moment. In fact, when he sometimes has revisited his own writings, he questions: Did I write that? not because he can''t write, but because he can sense a heighten presence in the words. He didn''t want to publish this work. This is a very private and personal body of thought he has developed for himself only, but the practice of the Akashi records suggested to him sharing his feelings and emotions for the benefit of others, because In The Presence Of Love should inspire the reader their own inner search. This accumulation of life experiences Ernesto is sharing with you hopefully will bring meaning to your quest.it is possible to achieve enlightenment and connection to God and oneself.…

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. Through an extraordinary ability to perform under pressure, David Ortiz has gone from toting the heavy burden of potential to being one of the most celebrated performers in baseball history. Along the way, a baseball legend was born: BIG PAPI. Raised in the Dominican Republic, signed by the Seattle Mariners, and released by the Minnesota Twins, David Ortiz landed in baseball-crazy Boston, of all places. Generally regarded as an underachiever to that point in his career, Ortiz blossomed into one of the most feared and adored sluggers in baseball while altering the course of the game's history, helping Boston win its first World Series in eighty-six years and thereby breaking the infamous Curse of the Bambino.Along the way, Ortiz established his place as a truly Ruthian figure in the annals of our national pastime: an imposing figure in the batter's box, yet an endearing man to the young, particularly in his native Dominican Republic, where he has focused his charitable efforts on improving the health of children. The son of two caring parents, and a loving father of three, Ortiz is a hero to many. Now, in his memoir, the man affectionately known as Big Papi recounts his life from growing up in an impoverished area of the Dominican Republic (where baseball is king) to his ascension in Boston (where he became one). Ortiz discusses, in detail, his historic and record-setting performances as a member of the Red Sox, his exploding popularity, the challenges of playing inBoston, and life in the Red Sox clubhouse. BIG PAPI is a unique memoir by a charismatic man who appeals to young and old, on the baseball field or off.…

Hardback. Condizione: Fair. An entertaining, unfiltered memoir by one of the game's greatest, most clutch sluggers and beloved personalities David Big Papi Ortiz is a baseball icon and one of the most popular figures ever to play the game. As a key part of the Boston Red Sox for 14 years, David has helped the team win 3 World Series, bringing back a storied franchise from never wins to always wins. He helped them upend the doubts, the naysayers, the nonbelievers and captured the imagination of millions of fans along the way, as he launched balls into the stands again, and again, and again. He made Boston and the Red Sox his home, his place of work, and his legacy. As he put it: This is our f*&#ing city. Now, looking back at the end of his legendary career, Ortiz opens up fully for the first time about his last two decades in the game. Unhindered by political correctness, Ortiz talks colorfully about his journey, from his poor upbringing in the Dominican Republic to when the expansion Florida Marlins passed up a chance to sign him due to what was essentially tennis elbow. He recalls his days in Peoria, Arizona, his first time in the United States; tense exchanges with Twins manager Tom Kelly in Minnesota; and his arrival in Boston. Readers go behind the scenes for the many milestones of his Red Sox career-- from the huge disappointment of the Red Sox losing to the Yankees in 2003, ending the curse in 2004 with the infamous band of idiots, including his extraordinary clutch hitting to overcome a 3-0 series deficit against the Yankees, to earning a second title in 2007 and a third in 2013. Along the way, he was tainted by the infamous banned substances list in 2009; he used his passion and place to fortify a city devastated by the Boston Marathon bombings; and he dominated pitchers right up through his retirement season at age 40. Papi, as he became so affectionately called, gave his fans big hits when they needed them most. He was an even bigger presence: He was a champion who rallied a team, a city, and a sport in a way that no one will ever forget. In Papi, his ultimate memoir, Ortiz opens up as never before about his life in baseball and about the problems he sees in Major League Baseball, about former teammates, opponents, coaches, and executives, and about the weight of expectation whenever he stepped up to the plate. The result is a revelatory, fly-on-the wall story of a career by a player with a lot to say at the end of his time in the game, a game to which he gave so much and which gave so much to him.…
