Un testimonio que, desde la mirada de un veterinario, nos muestra cómo los animales dan sentido a nuestras ciudades...y a nuestras vidas.

En teoría, las ciudades somos nosotros: humanos acelerados, con ojeras de mapache y el móvil pegado a la mano. Pero si afinamos un poco la mirada, como haría un pájaro al posarse en la rama de un árbol, descubrimos algo evidente y a la vez olvidado: no estamos solos.

Entre el asfalto y las prisas viven millones de criaturas. Y, en medio de todas ellas, hay un veterinario que convive cada día con historias pequeñas y enormes a la vez: esas en las que los animales no solo comparten piso, sino que rescatan vidas, calman ansiedades y sostienen duelos con una lealtad que no entiende de etiquetas.

Las familias que llenan nuestros hogares ya no son exclusivamente humanas, no, son multiespecie. Humanos, gatos, perros, periquitos, tortugas y hasta ratas con más habilidades sociales que muchos de nuestros vecinos.

Con humor y emoción, Animales de ciudad te invita a adentrarte y explorar la diversidad de la vida, recordándote lo que intuías, pero no decías en voz alta: la sociedad no la formamos solo los humanos... y menos mal.

Una celebración del caos urbano, de sus habitantes peludos, emplumados y escamosos, y de cómo, cuando todo se tambalea, a veces quien te salva la vida ni siquiera sabe hablar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the viewpoint of a veterinarian, comes a testimony that shows us how animals give meaning to our cities...and our lives.

In theory, cities are us: fast-paced humans with raccoon eyes and cell phones glued to our hands. But if we sharpen our gaze a little, as a bird would do when perching on a tree branch, we discover something obvious and yet forgotten: we are not alone.

Millions of creatures live between the asphalt and the hustle and bustle. And, in the midst of them all, there is a veterinarian who lives with stories that are both small and enormous: those in which animals not only share a home, but also rescue lives, calm anxieties, and mourn with a loyalty that knows no labels.

The families that fill our homes are no longer exclusively human; no, they are multispecies. Humans, cats, dogs, parakeets, turtles, and even rats with more social skills than many of our neighbors.

With humor and emotion, City Animals invites you to dive into and explore the diversity of life, reminding you of what you sensed but didn't say out loud: society is not made up of humans alone... and thank goodness for that.

A celebration of urban chaos, its furry, feathered, and scaly inhabitants, and how, when everything is falling apart, sometimes the one who saves your life doesn't even know how to talk.

In Your Season of Waiting? Give it a Chance.
Format: Paperback
I chose to read this book for a book club, as my university now has book clubs. This book is very insightful when it comes to the concept of waiting - as many of us struggle with waiting, and the seasons of waiting we experience. Whether we are religions or not - there are many nuggets of wisdom, and moments of inspiration we can gain from reading this author's book. His journey is also relational in one way or another to many of us. While I have my own religious and spiritual beliefs, however different than the authors, there were will nuggets of wisdom and insight that were helpful to me, as I am in my long season of waiting, and even suffering due to injury/disability/accident, so I was drawn to this book for a book club study, and it did bring a great deal of insight from one human being to another, and in a book study environment, it brought a lot of enrichment, engagement, dialogue, smiles, laughter, connection, depth, relation, etc. It helps you realize that it's very relational, very rich and provides great depth, no matter your beliefs, no matter what part of your journey you are in, and that you're not alone, and that this book can be helpful, and that it's not full of nonsense, it's full of practical guidance and wisdom. I recommend it.

Excellent treatment on the subject of waiting on the Lord
Format: Paperback
Waiting Isn’t a Waste, The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life by Mark Vroegrop (Wheaton, Illinois: Crossway, 2024), 135 pp. paper, $13.49 Vroegrop’s book Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy was popular partly due to its subject matter: grief and suffering. Now Vroegrop, lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis, is addressing another hot subject—waiting. It is no wonder that it has drawn the attention of Christianity Today, which awarded it one of the best books for 2024. Everyone struggles with waiting. The author writes, “This book is about the ‘gaps of life’ and how the Bible calls us to fill the void of uncertainty by waiting on God” (p. 1). We tend to fill the gaps with fear, anxiety, frustration, or anger (pp. 2, 16, 33-36); Scripture calls us to fill them with hope and trust in God. The stated aim is “to help us take steps in learning to wait” (p. 5), and the goal is to unpack this definition: “Waiting on God when I don’t know what’s true about my life” (p. 5). The book has six subjects, each of which has a chapter devoted to these topics: • Honestly: waiting is hard • Frequently: waiting is common • Thoughtfully: waiting is biblical • Patiently: waiting is slow • Intentionally: waiting is commanded • Collectively: waiting is relational (p. 6) Waiting is loaded with good quotes such as this one from Ben Patterson: “To wait is to journey in faith toward the things God has promised” (p. 11). Andrew Murray and his devotional classic Waiting on God are liberally quoted. One example: “This is the blessing of waiting upon God, that it takes our eyes and thoughts away from ourselves, even our needs, and desires, and occupies us with our God” (pp. 12-13). The author is quotable as well. Three excellent statements are as follows: When my desire for control gets the best of me, I frequently turn to three unhelpful and sinful responses: anger, anxiety, and apathy (p. 33). Waiting requires living by what I know to be true about God when I don’t know what’s true about my life (p. 39). Rather, my typical response is annoyance at best and anger at worst. You too? Understanding the biblical connection between wait and hope invites us to shift our focus from what’s not true about our lives to what is true about God. In other words, waiting biblically is seeing seasons of delay as opportunities to hope in God (p. 42). Vroegop often turns to the Psalms for insight and direction, noting that there are 14 psalms that celebrate waiting (p. 30). From Psalm 25 and 27 he draws a four-fold strategy for waiting, forming the anacronym FAST: Focus: live with a God-centered perspective (Psalm 25:3). Adore: worshipfully rehearse what you know to be true (Psalm 27:1) Seek: request God’s help (Psalm 25:16, 17, 18, 20) Trust: “embracing by faith the contentment and spirited rest that comes from knowing God can be trusted” (Psalm 27:13-14). Trusting is a choice (pp. 75-76). Vroegop reminds his readers that while we are waiting, the Lord may intervene in ways that are amazing: “I’ve seen problems solved, solutions surface, people convicted, and conflict resolved” (pp. 109-110). These past interventions give us hope for present ‘gaps’” (p. 66). I was disappointed with the author’s passing references to the Message paraphrase, the Enneagram (p. 3), lighting of candles (p. 69), and Dallas Willard (p. 79). But these slights do not tarnish the excellent treatment on the subject of waiting on the Lord. Reviewed by Gary E. Gilley, Southern View Chapel
