Overview

S�lo se vive una vez. La vida es corta y puede desperdiciarse tan f�cilmente como vivir en plenitud. En medio de nuestro ajetreado mundo moderno, �c�mo podemos aprovechar al m�ximo la vida y el tiempo de que disponemos? En estos tiempos r�pidos y superficiales, Os Guinness nos llama a una vida consecuente. En fuerte contraste con las visiones del tiempo tanto orientales como secularistas, reorienta nuestra propia noci�n de la historia, no como algo c�clico ni sin sentido, sino como algo lineal y con prop�sito. En la tradici�n judeocristiana, el tiempo y la historia tienen sentido, y los seres humanos pueden vivir con libertad y consecuencia en colaboraci�n con Dios. As�, podemos intentar servir al prop�sito de Dios para nuestra generaci�n, leer los tiempos y discernir nuestro llamado para este momento de la historia. Nuestro tiempo en la tierra tiene importancia. Vive correctamente, discierne los tiempos y redime el d�a. You only live once. Life is short and can be wasted as easily as it can be lived to the fullest. Amidst our busy modern world, how can we make the most of life and the time we have? In these fast-paced and superficial times, Os Guinness calls us to a life of significance. In stark contrast to both Eastern and secular views of time, he reorients our understanding of history, not as something cyclical or meaningless, but as linear and purposeful. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, time and history have meaning, and human beings can live with freedom and purpose in collaboration with God. Thus, we can strive to serve God's purpose for our generation, read the signs of the times, and discern our calling for this moment in history. Our time on earth matters. Live rightly, discern the times, and redeem the day.
