Given to Matthew Hayes - 05/11/2023 A refreshingly honest look at how ordinary people can connect with God, without having to go through the hoops and trappings that are so often associated with ‘spirituality’. Yaconelli was a pastor, yet he struggled at times to pray. He made mistakes, he messed up. He explains that the spiritual life does not have to be a neat progression of steps but is often disorganised and messy. Specific chapters look at hindrances to the spiritual life. The author encourages us to let go of the past, whether it was traumatic or not, and to move on with God into our future. He explodes some of the myths that some apparently super-spiritual people hold to; he encourages his readers to encounter Jesus for themselves. He looks at the importance of love, and of doing whatever we’re supposed to do, day by day, with examples of how little bits of grace occur when we least expect them. Peppered with anecdotes, the book is quite thought-provoking. It’s not a difficult read, and I found it immensely encouragingl I would recommend it highly to anyone, whatever stage they are on the Christian path. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
So, You Don't Think You're a Very Good Christian . . . Do you ever feel like: I don't pray enough I don't read my Bible enough I don't share my faith enough I don't love God enough I'm not committed enough I'm not spiritual enough Then this book is for you. From the man who knew messiness intimately well, Mike Yaconelli's book, Messy Spirituality, was written for the silent majority of us who are convinced that we just don't do Christianity right. We spend most of our lives worried about what we don't do instead of what we have done, focused on our imperfections instead of God's fondness for the imperfect. Why? Because we've been bombarded with books, movies, podcasts, seminars, and social media convincing us that real Christianity is all about perfection. Michael Yaconelli dares to suggest that imperfection, infiniteness, and messiness are, in fact, the earmarks of true Christianity; that real Christianity is messy, erratic, lopsided . . . and gloriously liberating. What if genuine faith begins with admitting we will never have our act completely together? Maybe messy disciples are exactly the kind of imperfect people Jesus came to earth for and whose company he actually enjoyed--and still enjoys. If you want to find Jesus, look for him in the midst of burned-out believers, moral misfits, religious incompetents . . . men and women whose lives are, well, messy. Messy Spirituality is a classic that offers timeless wisdom and antidotes for the spiritual perfectionism in us all. Here you will find truths that can cut you loose from the tyranny of ought-to's and open your eyes to the deep spirituality of being loved by the God who meets you and transforms you in the midst of a messy and unpredictable life.
