All about how we can be holy with "holy moments" throughout the day. ( ) The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity was a 2018 Christmas gift from my church to each family of parishioners. We've been given other books by Matthew Kelly before. I let my copy sit, forgotten, until I decided to make it my religious book to read one chapter of each Sunday in January of 2021. There are only 15 chapters, so I finished it in April. This book is about what we need to do to find lasting happiness. It's no surprise that the answer is not striving to acquire whatever is proclaimed to be a'"must have'. Nor is living only for our own pleasure. The big lie is that holiness is not possible for ordinary persons. Chapter seven tells us how to create a holy moment -- just a moment. Once you've created that one holy moment, you will be able to create more. As the author points out, even those persons whom we believe to have led holy lives, weren't being holy all the time. They had their own holy and unholy moments. We are given stories about persons whose first holy moment started to change their lives for the better. Then we are told about how we, as Christians, can use the simplicity of Christianity's core values of goodness, beauty (for holy moments are things of beauty), and hope to transform our world. Mr. Kelly uses mathematics to show how if each person who has absorbed the concept and habit of creating holy moments converts just three other persons to do the same, the entire world could be changed. Is it possible? As my late father used to tell me, you'll never know if you don't try. This is an intriguing book. Where one might expect a very elaborate amplification of the title, what one finds is quite simple. Archimedes said if he could find a large enough lever, he could move the world. Perhaps. Kelly offers an alternative method of moving the world ... Holy Moments, which can be defined as similar to good deeds but of even lesser stature. A gentle zephyr of thinking about God can be a Holy Moment. As a kid, I worked as a soda jerk in my Dad's drug store. An ice cream soda was quite an event requiring a very tall and wide glass into which was placed the chosen syrup flavor or fresh fruit. This was expanded to fill the glass with a spurt of the high-velocity soda water spigot. Ice cream was added, more soda water but at ordinary velocity, whip cream and, perhaps, a cherry. The thing is the high-velocity soda water created a huge amount of bubbles -- something like if you could put Holy Moments in a glass that is what it would look like. But, of course, you don't put Holy Moments in a glass. I believe the current Covid pandemic is producing Holy Moments in each of us like nothing before. The Biggest Lie, Kelly explains how to be happy and live life to the fullest, This book provides the practical tools necessary to help you regain your fervor and leave your mark on the world "and experience more happiness than you thought possible. Together we can change the course of history "with humility, generosity, kindness, and joy, one Holy Moment at a time. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
¿Crees que sea posible ser más feliz de lo que jamás hayas sido? ¿No por momentos fugaces, sino consistentemente? El reconocido autor de grandes éxitos de ventas, Matthew Kelly, cree que es posible y en su libro La más grande mentira nos explica cómo lograrlo.Todos queremos ser felices y vivir la vida a plenitud, pero la respuesta no se encuentra en la definición de felicidad que nos da el mundo. La cultura moderna nos alimenta constantemente de mentiras, y esas mentiras te afectan más de lo que tú crees. No obstante, las mentiras que más te afectan son las que te dices a ti mismo. Esas mentiras te roban tu alegría, minan tu energía y te hacen perder la esperanza. Evitan que descubras la fe que vibra y que experimentaron los primeros cristianos.Pero como Kelly nos muestra, hemos llegado a un momento crucial de la historia. Las personas están desilusionadas con lo que el mundo nos ofrece. El mundo tiene una apremiante necesidad de cambio y nadie está en una mejor posición para realizar ese cambio que los cristianos. Tenemos una oportunidad increíble de disipar las mentiras y hacer paso entre la confusión y las falsas promesas que nos rodean.Este libro brinda las herramientas prácticas que requerimos para recobrar el fervor y dejar tu huella en el mundo, y experimentar además una mayor felicidad de la que creías que era posible. Juntos podemos cambiar el curso de la historia -con humildad, generosidad, bondad y alegría, un momento santo a la vez. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
