Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial,… por Richard Swenson
I liked the message behind this book and the idea of creating margin in our lives. The idea that this is written by a doctor is powerful as well. I ended up skimming much of the book though. I felt it was wordy and over complicated for a book about simplifying lives and creating margin. Also overall it felt the solution for creating margin is to move to another country, preferably third world. I liked the book but would prefer a more simple approach to the message.
This was a fascinating book! Dr. Richard Swenson uses creation to talk about the power, sovereignty, and omniscience of God. He goes into detail about the body, including the complexity of our 5 senses and the organs we use for them, how our muscles work, and even how our DNA is put together to form us, to show the Creator at work. He then moves on to talk about the complexity of the universe, how it behaves uniformly when looked at from our reference point, and how things get pretty crazy when you reach the subatomic particle level. By using the details of us and the universe, he weaves together a fascinating look at how religion and science do not have to be at odds, but instead science can actually be used to show God's existence.… (más)
Lots of descriptions of Western society overload with very little practical solutions for the overloaded beyond prosaic Let-Go-and-Let-God aphorisms. Interesting but ultimately unsatisfying for non-Christians.
