And it was Beautiful: Marcelo Bielsa and the Rebirth of Leeds United

Product Information

From "Always Move Toward" (105+): "Jason and I are very simple in our practices when it comes to parenting. Through the little years, we lived with a basic philosophy: love is kind. That has been the filter through which we look at all of our parenting. If love is kind, then discipline is kind. If love is kind, then even at our most irritated we don't have permission to leave the realm of kindness. This is definitely no small feat, no easy thing to accomplish. But it has served us well. Those three simple words have marked our young years raising children and loving one another. When we have gone outside the boundaries of kindness, it has been our humble opportunity to apologize and ask for forgiveness. Now our children are getting older and the struggles they face are more complex. The principle of kindness will never be outgrown...but I have a new extension of that, simply a variation on the theme of kindness: always move toward. The best picture I have of this is that of Jesus continually moving toward me. His face is always toward me, always gently pursuing, always desiring nearness. Even when I turn away, act out, or move toward my own ends, He stays ever focused on moving toward me, not away. And while this has been my approach to the kids, it has spilled over into my relationship with Jason. My heart's desire is to always be moving toward those people in my life I love so very much. I will fight against the distance, always." This book is a compilation of blog post Tippets made after she got a diagnosis of cancer. Mother of four, pastor's wife, Tippets went through the chemo, surgery, hair loss, nausea, weakness... all that the diagnosis can mean. And then - she died. But she left behind her faith in the form of her life and her writing and her family and friends. She's honest without being brutal. She speaks of the peace and the fear. The love and the loneliness. The refining of suffering which breaks through our illusion of knowledge and strength and reminds us that we are all "like grass", withering and dying away. And the joy one can still find in knowing that there is more to life than what we see and experience here, the grace that is always there for us, if we will only look for it.

In her final book, And It Was Beautiful: Celebrating Life in the Midst of the Long Goodbye, Kara shows us that as we turn toward this truth of suffering, Christ's Love pours out more freely both into and then out of us. For in drawing near to the truth, we draw near to Him: our Way, our Truth and our beautiful Life.Obviously it’s upsetting. It’s not like, yay, I have terminal cancer. But I think I have a different relationship to it than a lot of people. Basically I want to call the shots. Yeah, I’m going to die. Let’s grab that – not ‘make the most of it’ but have a relationship with that process I have lived in the reflection of the Gospel as my husband has loved me in my sin, ugly and unlovely. Acceptance with Jason has nothing to do with performance but everything to do with his understanding of how loved he is by God in his own weakness and sin. I was talking to my oncologist this week and telling her about my living wake, and she was like, “Oh my God, I wish more people would do that.” She says she has people who are literally going to die any day, in her office, begging her for more treatment. I definitely don’t want to be like that. I’m like, yeah, I’m going to die. Let’s grab that – not “make the most of it” but have a relationship with that process. My advice is to just make it your own thing. Just do whatever you want to do. Be a wakezilla. And every kind of crazy idea that you have, just try to make it happen. On 27th February 2022, after 170 matches in charge, promotion to the Premier League and some of the most exhilarating football the English game has ever seen, Leeds United parted company with their most beloved and successful manager in a Marcelo Bielsa. His parting gift was to embrace the crowds of adoring fans who turned up to say thank you as he left the club's training ground for the final time. Getting shit done takes time and dedication. It took Gran Fury and Act Up literally a decade of at least once a week meetings. The members of this organization had complete burnout and PTSD when everything was over, if they survived. You have to be willing to put everything on the line.

Any other font On the invitation I just said: come with an open mind and open heart, ready to celebrate me. A lot of people were genuinely confused and didn’t know what to expect. But most I’ve spoken to, especially those who were a bit apprehensive, have said how expansive it was for them. It was so joyful – equal amounts laughing to crying. So many people came up to me and were like, “Oh my God, thank you so much for having this – it’s a gift, to be able to celebrate you in this way.” With all six Stones, I could simply snap my fingers. They would all cease to exist.

There will be limited capacity at the event with timed entry. The indoor trail opens from 10am and last entry is 7pm, however times may vary on selected dates. We are all desperately afraid of what’s hard, but once we face it, it’s possible we find a new joy we hadn’t known before. Getting honest with ourselves does not make us unacceptable to God. It does not distance us from God, but draws us to him as nothing else can and opens us anew to the flow of grace. While Jesus calls each of us to a more perfect life, we cannot achieve it on our own. To be alive is to be broken; to be broken is to stand in need of grace. It is only through grace that any of us could dare to hope that we could become more like Christ.

He knows the history of the club, through the ups and downs, so can document it here along with referencing interviews he personally has conducted.It was God in his good and perfect providence to number my days, to count the hairs on my head, to not only plan but join me in my suffering. Jesus is my song. Jesus is my guide. Jesus is my hope."
