International Latino Book Awards 2025: Libro más inspiracional no ficción en español. MEDALLA DE ORO * Mejor biografía. MEDALLA DE BRONCE

«¡Bien escrito! No pude dejar de leer. Temas importantes: Parkinson y eutanasia. Recomendaré este libro.» --Comentario de los jueces del ILBA

Me lo dijo sin preámbulos, pero no me tomó por sorpresa. A principios de 2022, mi padre, Carlos Alberto Montaner, me encomendó la misión más difícil y dolorosa de mi vida: «Te pido que me ayudes a morir».


Más de seis años después de ser diagnosticado en Estados Unidos con Parkinson, sus capacidades físicas habían mermado considerablemente y la enfermedad comenzaba a hacer mella en sus facultades cognitivas. Carlos Alberto Montaner, que había dedicado su vida al desempeño intelectual, el activismo político y a expresar sus opiniones en una columna sindicada en América Latina, España y Estados Unidos, decidía el final de su vida antes de que la enfermedad le arrebatara del todo su autonomía física e intelectual. Él deseaba regresar a Madrid, donde había vivido más de cuarenta años y, como ciudadano español, acogerse a la Ley de Eutanasia recientemente aprobada en el Congreso.


Deséenme un buen viaje es una crónica íntima de su trayectoria sin retorno, y la de su hija junto a él, con el trasfondo de la eutanasia. Se trata de un camino lleno de obstáculos e incertidumbre; pero también es un recorrido extraordinario por las emociones, la comunión íntima y la perseverancia frente a la adversidad. Cuenta un viaje del desarraigo -las señas de identidad de una familia marcada por el exilio tras el triunfo de la revolución en Cuba- hacia el arraigo que significó para ellos retornar a España, su segunda patria.

«Gina Montaner ha escrito un credo imprescindible para entender la vida y valorar la muerte. Valiente, sincero y conmovedor. No dejará a nadie indiferente por sus enseñanzas y su sabiduría» --Sonsoles Ónega

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

International Latino Book Awards 2025: Most Inspirational Nonfiction Book. GOLD MEDAL * Best Biography. BRONZE MEDAL

«Well written! I couldn't stop reading. Important topics: Parkinson and euthanasia. I will recommend this book.» --Insight from the ILBA judges

He told me without preamble, but it didn't catch me by surprise. At the beginning of 2022, my father, Carlos Alberto Montaner, gave me the hardest and most painful mission of my life: "I'm asking you to help me die."


Six years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, his physical and cognitive abilities had decreased considerably. Carlos Alberto Montaner, who had dedicated his life to intellectual pursuits, political activism, and to expressing his opinions through a syndicated column in newspapers throughout Latin America, Spain, and the United States, had decided to end his life before his illness took away the last of his autonomy. He hoped to return to Madrid, where he had lived for over forty years and, as a Spanish citizen, abide by the Law of Euthanasia recently approved by the Spanish Congress.


Deséenme un buen viaje (Wish Me a Good Journey) is the intimate chronicle of a trip with no return. It is a journey of obstacles and uncertainties, but also an extraordinary retelling of vibrant emotions, intimate camaraderie, and perseverance in the face of adversity. This book tells a story of uprooting--the distinctive flag of a family that was exiled from Cuba after the triumph of the revolution--and of their return to Spain, their adopted homeland.

«Gina Montaner has written an essential creed to understand life and value death. Brave, sincere and moving. She will not leave anyone indifferent to his teachings and his wisdom.» --Sonsoles Ónega

How to take back what the thief has stolen
Format: Paperback
I took a long time to read this book so I could soak in and apply the principles laid out from God's Word. We have all been stolen from in some way or another, whether it has been failed relationships, finances, health, or even what we feel is our calling or destiny. The good news is that we can stand on God's Word and take back what the thief has stolen. I am still applying what I have learned to have faith that God will restore the years that the locusts have eaten

Hardcopy
Format: Paperback
I love this book. I purchase the audiobook, I wish I had purchased the hardcopy instead. It has so much information that you must read and re-read each chapter in order to gleam all the knowledge it provides.

A penetrating discussion of important books by Black authors.
Format: Kindle
Atcho’s choice of texts is smart: each has survived many decades in print, fascinates modern readers, and probes profound and current themes. Most are well known. Each one is worth your while to read or reread. Fiction, in particular, makes the Black experience in our country accessible to others. Living inside the head of Bigger Thomas (Native Son) offers a more personal understanding than any essay can. The church has always been part of the story, and Atcho does justice to this by examining African-American literature in a theological light. He is sensitive to what each text is saying on a spiritual level, discerning the subtext and bringing it to light. Over and over, as I read his analyses, I had the experience of seeing more clearly what I had only vaguely intuited. The readings he discusses are not one-dimensional or didactic, and I found having a Virgil at my side was invaluable. This book is a gift to us all.

Our church read this book together, and I can't recommend enough that your church do the same!
Format: Paperback
I am so grateful to Claude Atcho for inextricably weaving together a spacious reformed theology with the heights and depths of great African American literature. Thanks to his gracious, nuanced, and substantive guidance, I can no longer separate the two. For example, I will no longer be able to read the Exodus account of liberation without imagining Zora Neale Hurston's "Moses, Man of the Mountain." Where the themes of great African American literature (and indeed, great theology) do not short-cut suffering, death, lament, and evil, Atcho manages to do this heavy lifting in a way that welcomes uninitiated readers like me. Our church read this book together, and I can't recommend enough that your church do the same!

Eye-Opening and Heart-Expanding
Format: Paperback
I am incredibly grateful for this book. It gave me profound insight into essential truths of Christian faith and doctrine by allowing me to see them through a radically different lens than my internal lens. Plus, it opened me up enormously to the experience of black Americans who express the pain and challenge of life in our country thoughtfully and provocatively. I left this reading chastened, desiring more conversation, moved to listen better, and hoping to live differently.
