Con un enfoque íntimo y auténtico Tania Tagle nos comparte sus dudas y sus reflexiones en torno al embarazo, el parto y la crianza, entretejidas con la exploración de conceptos como lo monstruoso, el milagro y la maravilla. Así dialogamos al mismo tiempo con ella y con pensadores romanos, como Tito Livio, entre otros, para rastrear dónde se gesta y cómo se transforma la idea de monstruo, al mismo tiempo que se transforma el cuerpo de una embarazada; o en la segunda parte, donde Tagle se acerca al momento del parto concebido como milagro, alumbramiento, trazando la genealogía del término a través del judaísmo, de los mitos griegos o de San Agustín. Finalmente, llegamos al momento de la adquisición del lenguaje, a la crianza, con esa sorpresa, ese thauma que pone en conversación a Tales de Mileto, a María Zambrano o a Sócrates. Germinal es un ensayo que acompaña el proceso de traer a una persona a este mundo desde un entendimiento de la angustia y la belleza que eso implica. Un libro que conmueve y que abre espacio, también, para pensar cómo se insertan esos procesos en el pensamiento y la cultura y cómo podemos transformarlos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Through an intimate and original approach, Tania Tagle shares with us her doubts and reflections on pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting, entwined with the exploration of concepts such as the Monstrous, the Miracle, and the Wonder.Thus, we dialogue with her and some Roman thinkers, such as Titus Livius, among others, to trace where the idea of a monster was born and how was transformed to contrast with the transformation of a pregnant woman's body; while in the second part, Tagle approaches the moment of giving birth, conceived as a miracle, tracing the genealogy of the term childbirth through Judaism, Greek myths, and even Saint Augustine. Finally, we reach the key moment of language acquisition and upbringing, with that surprise, that thauma, starts a conversation with Tales of Mileto, María Zambrano, and Socrates. Germinal is an essay to accompanying the process of bringing a person into this world by understanding the anguish and beauty that this implies. A moving book that also invites us to think about how these processes are inserted into thought and culture and how we can transform them.

A Beautiful Book with a Timely Message for Any Season
Format: Hardcover
I’ve been a fan of Ruth’s work for years, with the way her simple yet beautiful art work makes me draw in my breath and then release it peacefully. Even more, I love her heart for God’s truth, and the simple yet profound ways she reminds me of what cannot be improved upon, God’s words and His work in creation and redemption.
I got a little tingly when I first heard about this new book, “Beholding and Becoming”. I just knew this was meant for me in this season. I’m mothering a little one, often feeling like I’m failing more than thriving, investing in my marriage, trying to keep a house and a little homestead from falling apart and dying. I’m working full time, growing another little one in my belly, fearing changes ahead and constantly navigating the swirling opinions of others. This book reminds me to slow down, to gaze upon God’s truth for what it is- my lifeblood, the words of a loving God for ME, the gift of my salvation, and the only thing I should depend upon.
I loved how Ruth infused such meaningful and symbolic elements into the art in this book. I didn’t think it could get any better than the first few chapters, but I was so wrong. The second half was somehow even more beautiful than the first! The colors and interesting elements in her paintings will draw your heart out even more to the words on the page, and will help you to slow down and reflect.
This book was an easy read, but don’t think for a minute that it’s light in content. There’s nothing fluffy here. Ruth thoughtfully uses quotes both new and old, poetry, hymn lyrics, and difficult examples from daily life to draw out truths your heart may not want to hear, but will echo with certainty. I love the structure of the book, drawing your mind out in a “beholding” chapter, followed by a more practical “becoming” section, providing time-honored wisdom in how to cultivate the truth in your daily life, in any season. Each section left me smiling, pausing, sincerely convicted, and called to action.
If the season you’re in could be described as tough, confusing, boring, frustrating, hopeless, busy, overwhelming, or scary, there is so much here for you. Savor it a little or a lot at a time-your heart will not be disappointed."

Beautifully done in every way
Format: Hardcover
The heartbeat of this book reflects what has long been the returning, churning desire of my heart. To see and behold our Beautiful Savior in every moment—the joyful, the ordinary, the painful moments— in the majestic and the mundane. To hear my Jesus call to me to look at Him, see Him, walk with Him in trust, behold His beauty, listen to His voice of love and see His hand of magnificent power through the wonder and marvel of His creation. Through Ruth’s words and her stunning artwork, I was completely drawn to the Savior, to linger in His presence. I longed to stay, overtaken by the beauty of my Lord’s life-giving words enhanced and magnified by stunning and arresting lettering and beautiful artwork. I know I will return to this book again and again. To read slowly and deliberately and to read with hunger, simply not wanting to put it down. It will encourage me to behold, worship and fix my gaze upon Jesus. As Ruth wrote: “He never forgets to send out the moon and stars! He sees you in your ordinary, daily, mundane faithfulness, and reminds you with the steady and consistent rhythms of the day, ‘I’m not going anywhere.’ And how that comforts us and causes our hearts to worship.” I highly recommend this book and recommend that you linger long on its’ beautiful, inspirational and “reason to pause” pages. This will also be a gorgeous and amazing book to gift. Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your heart and gifts with us and pointing us to Jesus.

Beautiful and Encouraging in every season!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I have been waiting with eager anticipation for the release of Beholding and Becoming. I have followed Ruth Chou Simons online for several years, beginning as a new “unlikely boy mom” myself, and I always come away from reading her words more encouraged and grounded in my identity in Christ and more aware of how to live out my role as a wife and mother from a gospel-filled heart.
This most recent book is beautiful. The chapters are short enough to be read quickly, but packed full of truth that you can continue chewing on and digesting throughout the day. I love that the chapter titles (especially the “Becoming” sections) can also serve as helpful mantras or reminders, and I find myself repeating them to myself throughout the day - especially “Learn to Love What Must Be Done.” These little subtitles encapsulate the principles Ruth lays out in the book in a concise, easy to remember way and help me to apply the principles in my day-to-day life - and that’s the goal isn’t it? Gospel transformation - not just more knowledge and pretty pictures to go with it. I know that is Ruth’s goal and I’m a grateful recipient of her God-honoring wisdom.
Also, I’m just always in awe of Ruth’s skill with a paintbrush and intentionality to choose images that are meaningful in and of themselves. There’s a glossary at the beginning of this book that shares a bit about the meaning of the different images and motifs throughout the book - so lovely and helpful! AND between each chapter are beautiful paintings with hand-lettered ideas for how to implement the principles from the previous chapter.
If you’re looking for a brief devotional read with true depth and beauty, this is it. I’m looking forward to giving these as gifts to many friends and family members - Christmas is on the horizon!

Great product at a good price
Color: Black, Size: Medium
This sink caddy is made of sturdy material and helpful for holding the stuff on the edge of my sink. It's nice to be able to move the little drain spout to accommodate where I set it. It also allows me to move the divider to accommodate the size of what I put in there, so that's nice. It has an overall nice look. removing the tray to wash it out is very helpful. The only thing I don't care for is that sometimes when I grab the dish cloth, the little rod pops out. However, this is a minor inconvenience, and only when I'm in a hurry to grab the cloth. The price is very reasonable for the sturdy material.

Keeps my sink area neat and organized
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Really happy with this sink caddy! The 304 stainless steel feels sturdy and looks nice, and the auto drain spout keeps water from pooling on the counter. The divided sections easily hold my sponge, brush, and soap bottle without taking up much space.
I also like the removable towel bar and that there was no installation needed. Redy to use right out of the box. Simple, practical, and very useful for keeping the sink area tidy.
