To produce material covering all spheres of life, under a world

view based on the christian faith, restoring the spiritual aspect

of life — left to a second level up to now — as paramount to the

human being’s balance.

v i s i o n

To be the best media, communication and cultural producing

company in Brazil, offering a rereading of our daily life through

a full and integral life.

m i s s i o n

t e a m w o r k

We are building a new publishing house. A project

that brings, in its essence, great expectations,

desires. We flirt with the matter which dreams are made of!

In this ethereal world, where dreams dwell, everything is possible. And that is

why we reached into this world to the formula that bids dreams come true:

dedication, effort and perseverance. We feel in our soul the closeness to a

prospector. These are characteristics that propel all who are involved with

Garimpo Editorial. That is why this metaphor is reflected in our goals.

Just like in a persistent prospector’s journey our drive is to extract from words in

the raw, whether spoken or written words, a precious content, unique in its great

value. Wash pans, aqueducts, shovels and agitators: tools mastered by the

prospector, accomplices in his search for the precious material. In this same

search, our tools are prose, poetry and design. We proceed on our journey

extracting gold from the spirit, from the heart. Gold that is obtained from the

upright and wholesome life. A precious matter we share wishing to promote

growth and evolution to whosoever will make use of it.

And in the same way that the hope of finding the precious matter drives the

prospector, we, prospectors of words, work so that books, magazines, e-

books, audio-books, and any other material produced by the Garimpo Editorial

will touch the heart of each individual thus transforming it, just as the prospector’s

activities change forever his surroundings.

We at the Garimpo Editorial hope that the result of our dreams, made real

in the material we produce, will lead the reader through an unique journey,

seeking the most precious of treasures, finer than gold itself.

UMA FORÇA EM MOVIMENTO

THE BOOK

The Church – not an institution or a building – is a force divinely created and able to change the world.

But it can only accomplish its task as it involves itself with the community, daring to leave the atrophy

of methods behind to free the creativity which it has received from its Creator. It is this Church, the one

who takes on the risks to penetrate the culture with its marvelously subversive message, which Erwin

McManus proposes in An Unstoppable Force.

The author suggests a new cultural architecture which components can (and should) be found in a

contextualized Christianity, keeping its values, but yet sensitive to the community, people, time and

circumstances around it. An Unstoppable Force shows the power of a spirituality which transforms

human history from inside out as it involves itself with culture in all levels – personal, communal, ethnic,

national and universal.

THE AUTHOR

Writer, speaker, pastor and social activist respected both in the United States and abroad,

Erwin McManus dedicates himself to the creation of an environment favorable to personal

and organizational creativity, to singularity, to innovative ability and diversity. That is why he

prefers to be referred to as a “cultural architect” or a “spiritual environmentalist”. He has been to dozens

of countries where his speeches reached over a million people from the most diverse of backgrounds.

He heads MOSAIC, an alternative Christian ministry based in Los Angeles.

ENDORSEMENTS

“[McManus] has a singular style, balanced and social appealing […] his accessible way to present

content encourages disillusioned Christians and people searching for a spiritual path to live a more

authentic Christianity.”

Publishers Weekly

“This book does not contain theories from a professor, researcher or critic. It was written by a real pastor,

serving on real trenches at a local church day after day. He understands what a ministry is. Thus, read

the book and learn. Read it with an open mind.”

Rick Warren, pastor at Saddleback Church

A ALMA DO LÍDER(THE HEART OF A LEADER)

THE BOOK

To lead is much more than to fill in a position. It is directly related to what lies deep in the core of a human

being: values, principles, aspirations. The Heart of a Leader addresses those issues. In this revised

edition of one of Ken Blanchard’s greatest success, The Heart of a Leader, the author compiles a set of

extremely useful and inspiring insights about the subject, for those whose responsibility is to lead any

group, organization, corporation, community or even a nation. A must read for anyone whose view of

leadership is as noble as it should be. An easy-to-read book, but soaked with extremely relevant truth

that will enable the reader to become a better leader – one whose soul is set to lead.

THE AUTHOR

Ken Blanchard is one of the greatest experts in leadership of our days and is internationally

renowned for decades of pioneer work in his area. Several of his writings became best-

sellers. His best known work, The One Minute Entrepreneur (with Spencer Johnson), sold

over 13 million copies in almost 40 languages. A skilled speaker, Blanchard acts as a consultant to

several companies and organizations, teaching courses and giving speeches to a great variety of

professionals, including executives, athletes, spiritual leaders and others.

ENDORSEMENTS

“… an excellent storyteller and a brilliant coach…”

EM 6 PASSOS O QUE FARIA JESUS(IN 6 STEPS WHAT WOULD JESUS DO)

THE BOOK

In a given moment in time — possibly, the instant after Jesus ascended to Heaven —, Christianity,

according to its own creator, started to going backwards, contaminated by legalism, until it became just

another religion. Faith, which should be naturally incarnated, was replaced by formulas and rules whose

main merit was to make evident its own hypocrisy and frailty.

In the book In 6 Steps What Would Jesus Do — A New Manual for the Behavior of a Follower of Jesus,

Paulo Brabo turn history around and suggests a spirituality based on six practices that surprise by its

simplicity as much as by its revolutionary character.

• Live the intolerance to religious people

• Do the unexpected

• Enjoy it without possessing it

• Live totally immersed in your world

• Be available for the moment

• Sensualize your spirituality

The text brings to paper one of the noblest parts of Paulo Brabo’s blog, Bacia das Almas, referred to by

its own author as the “final destination of ideas doomed to eternal renewal”. Intriguing, anarchic,

involving, up to date and transgressor — starting with the minimalist graphic design — 6 Steps What

Would Jesus Do challenges the reader to review (or even to abandon) the trivial concept of what it is to

be a disciple and to embrace a different way to follow the Master, a fruit of a more natural, spontaneous

alive and intense spirituality.

THE AUTHOR

A n extraordinarily talented artist, Paulo Brabo has worked with several advertising companies

and corporations in Brazil and abroad. Author of the blog Bacia das Almas, where he

records his own insights on spirituality and life.

SÉRIE PENSAMENTOS DO LÍDER(THE MIND OF A LEADER SERIES)

THE SERIES

It is a rare event to see two of the greatest experts in leadership in our days coming together. Although the

admiration is mutual, Ken Blanchard’s and John C. Maxwell’s schedules rarely allow them to be in the same

event. If getting these two together is a near to impossible task, Garimpo Editorial found a much simpler

alternative to offer you simultaneous access to these two masters of leadership skills and to the force that

drives their own successful careers.

In the ‘THE MIND OF A LEADER’ series Blanchard and Maxwell present and coment on a compilation

of insights about leadership brought forth by some of the most brilliant and noticeable characters in

history. These are words of great wisdom collected over decades of experience, analyzed according to

their practical application in the realm of family, church, work place, friendships and community.

THE BOOKS

In The Power of Leadership, Maxwell brings together dozens of quotes about the topic from important

characters in the most diverse field of knowledge and human activities and adds insights of great value.

In The Power of Thinking Big, Maxwell presents and comments on quotes from men and women who

were dedicated to understanding and explaining, in an objective way, the foundations of leadership.

In Principles of Leadership, Blanchard rescues thoughts of people who stood out in their own areas in

their time and comments on this legacy – insights that became immortal due to the truth contained in

each word.

THE AUTHORS

John C. Maxwell is a respected authority on leadership and development of human

potential in the world. He has written over twenty books, including The 21 Irrefutable Laws

of Leadership, which made it to New York Times’ best sellers list. Maxwell reaches an

average of 250 thousand attendees per year in events all over the US and abroad.

Ken Blanchard is one of the greatest experts in leadership of our days. Several of his

writings became best-sellers, his best known work, The One Minute Entrepreneur (with

UM JESUS DE SEGUNDA MÃO

THE BOOK

God wants you to know Him, deeply and personally. But there are no shortcuts to God. So often we too

easily settle for someone else’s descriptions, the Cliffs Notes from another’s spiritual journey. We are

content to let “God experts” do the heavy lifting and then give us the bottom line. And after enough times

through the grapevine, the truth about God deteriorates until crumbs and rumors are all that remain.

But when life derails, when things don’t go as we planned, our thin view of God is challenged. In those

critical moments, we can choose to walk away from God… or let our questions lead us home. When you

decide to wrestle with God, to engage Him for yourself, you — like Jacob and Job and David and Glenn

— will see rumors die and revelation come alive.

THE AUTHOR

Glenn Packiam is an Associate Pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado,

where he leads the Sunday Night Campus and serves as the Director of the New Life

School of Worship. As one of the founding leaders and songwriters for the Desperation

Band, Glenn has been featured on several Desperation Band and New Life Worship albums, including

Everyone Overcome.

Glenn is also the author of Butterfly in Brazil: How Your Life Can Make a World of Difference. His

second book, Secondhand Jesus: Trading Rumors of God for a Firsthand Faith, was released in June

2009 in USA, and it will be released in Brazil in November 2009.

ENDORSEMENTS

“Secondhand Jesus explodes with passion and desperation, because we are all in need of the real Jesus

— the One Who saves, and in Whom we can place our hope.”

Worship Leader Magazine

“Digging through the ruins of a ‘house built on sand,’ Glenn Packiam lays bare the shameless lies of a

way of religion, very popular these days in America, without foundations in Jesus or Scripture. But it is

far more than exposé. This is an honest, personal, detailed story of a Christian leader refusing cynicism

and embracing forgiveness and hope.”

Eugene H. Peterson, translator of “The Message” and professor emeritus of Spiritual Theology,

Regent College, Vancouver, Canada
