Reseña del libro "Love Fast Live Slow: Discover the Simplicity of Reflecting Jesus in a Stressful World (en Inglés)"
Humanity is overwhelmed with feelings of distress now more than ever, but God has good news. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Just love fast and live slow.The world is looking for a solution to the angst. A trending solution to this overarching misalignment is to fill our lives with more. More stuff. More money. More exercise. More volunteering. More prestige. We look outward to satisfy our hunger for happiness. When the pendulum swings too far in our pursuit for more, it leads us to countering that busyness with a desperate evacuation: having less, doing less, spending less, conquering less. We see this trend expanding as shows like Tidy Up and the minimalist movement climb the charts. However, owning less or doing less is still an external solution to an internal problem.Have you ever come to God begging for clarity? We have. And He's told us (multiple times), "I'll let you know what you need to know when you need to know it. In the meantime, do what I've already told you." And what we know we should be doing, rain or shine, clear or foggy, is to live like Jesus did. That is why Love Fast Live Slow exists.Discover the simplicity of reflecting Jesus in a stressful world.No more wondering if you've done enough. No more questioning God's purpose for you. No more overthinking every decision. Skim the aisles of any bookstore or best seller list, and you are sure to find fancy self-help books reminding you to live your best life. Many people write about compassion and acts of philanthropy. Many people teach self-care and productivity hacks. Yet, even with endless access to said solutions, what about the times when life just stinks? Let's be honest here, the rise of anxiety and depression is growing in unprecedented numbers. The captivating stories in this read provide a snapshot of what can and should be for believers who slowly breathe in the fresh wind of the Spirit and exhale that love and grace to the world. As you read Love Fast Live Slow, you will be challenged to evaluate your habits and relationships, and prayerfully rebuild a life that reflects the glory of God in your home and your spheres of influence.
