How much happier could you be by simply lifting your head up? What possibilities await you when you tell the world that you are open for business? Who could you become with a bigger smile that says, I'm up for the relationship?We live in a time when people are so busy and so focused on what's next that they're missing out on what's happening right now. We're lonely yet surrounded by others. There are so many opportunities right in front of us, but we will surely miss them unless we do what to most may seem counter-intuitive to success; we must slow down to move ahead.Human beings have reached a tipping point. In our short attention span, fast-paced, competitive world, we can no longer relax. We don't know how to deal with downtime. In our race to success, we've incorporated more text and email to save time, more devices, and advances to communicate, more friends, and more contacts to get ahead. Yet most of us are falling behind in our spirit. Many of us are discovering that the advancements meant to make our lives less complicated are actually causing us more stress. Rather than freeing us up, they are consuming more of our time. The things that were supposed to connect us have, in some ways, made us retreat.When was the last time you waited in line without reaching for your phone? The last time you sat down for family dinner without an electronic device on? The last time you seized the day rather than seeking the data?We are indeed miracles. God literally hard-wired us humans for connection. But somewhere along the way, we outpaced ourselves. We ran too far ahead, and now many of us are feeling left behind. We've been taken out of context, out of connection and out of communion with the people surrounding us. We're sometimes even strangers in our own homes.The Word tells us that we are the light. That we are not to be placed under a bowl. That we are indeed meant to shine and shine, we will.The light in the world is dim and it's time to get TURNED ON.…

How much happier could you be by simply lifting your head up? What possibilities await you when you tell the world that you are open for business? Who could you become with a bigger smile that says, “I’m up for the relationship?”
We live in a time when people are so busy and so focused on what’s next that they’re missing out on what’s happening right now. We’re lonely yet surrounded by others. There are so many opportunities right in front of us, but we will surely miss them unless we do what to most may seem counter-intuitive to success; we must “slow down to move ahead.”
Human beings have reached a tipping point. In our short attention span, fast-paced, competitive world, we can no longer relax. We don’t know how to deal with downtime. In our race to success, we’ve incorporated more text and email to save time, more devices, and advances to communicate, more friends, and more contacts to get ahead. Yet most of us are falling behind in our spirit. Many of us are discovering that the advancements meant to make our lives less complicated are actually causing us more stress. Rather than freeing us up, they are consuming more of our time. The things that were supposed to connect us have, in some ways, made us retreat.
When was the last time you waited in line without reaching for your phone? The last time you sat down for family dinner without an electronic device on? The last time you seized the day rather than seeking the data?
We are indeed miracles. God literally hard-wired us humans for connection. But somewhere along the way, we outpaced ourselves. We ran too far ahead, and now many of us are feeling left behind. We’ve been taken out of context, out of connection and out of communion with the people surrounding us. We’re sometimes even strangers in our own homes.
The Word tells us that we are the light. That we are not to be placed under a bowl. That we are indeed meant to shine and shine, we will.
The light in the world is dim and it’s time to get TURNED ON.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a World of Books Inc, Montgomery, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.

El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
