Un libro sobre cómo superar el miedo al fracaso, las dudas sobre uno mismo y mejorar la autodisciplina

¿Está tu vida atrapada en una rutina monótona? ¿Estás frustrado con tu trabajo estancado? ¿Parece que llevas una vida sin placer ni alegría? Si este es el caso, no pierdas la esperanza; muchos otros sienten lo mismo que tú. La causa fundamental de nuestra existencia descontenta se remonta a un profundo temor a no tener éxito. Tenemos miedo de intentar nuevas empresas debido a nuestro miedo a la incompetencia y a la posibilidad de cometer errores. Además, restringirse resulta inevitablemente en una existencia rígida y monótona. Las personas proactivas y exultantes toman la iniciativa en lugar de esperar pasivamente a que sucedan los acontecimientos. ¿Se siente descontento y aburrido en su vida debido al ciclo monótono de ir a trabajar, volver a casa y mirar televisión? ¿Por qué no inicias una transformación? La causa principal para la mayoría de las personas es el miedo.

El miedo es un sentimiento único, que a veces es vital, y en otras ocasiones nos destruye. Muchos malos hábitos o rasgos de carácter se basan principalmente en este sentimiento. El miedo a la exposición nos avergüenza y nos escondemos, por miedo a los malos negocios no arriesgamos nada, y hasta el miedo de perder un ser querido hace que cambiemos nuestra personalidad, haciendo que aquellos a los que amamos, incapaces de soportarlo, se vayan de nuestro lado. ¿Cómo hacer frente a esta condición? ¿Existe la manera de superar el miedo de manera eficaz? ¿Esres una persona sensible o excitable que se pone nerviosa antes de la primera cita o al punto de no luchar por sus sueños? ¿Estás acostumbrado a poner excusas por tu compartimiento? Si bien es normal y necesario tener miedo, ya que nos protege de las amanezas, cada uno sabe cuando estos pensamientos oscuros están saboteando nuestra mente y terminan arruinando la vida. Este libro es el camino para entender las razones de ese sentimiento tóxico, la manera de enfrentarlo y de alcanzar el éxito; tal como lo consiguieron las personas exitosas que se atrevieron a enfrentar y derrotar a sus propios miedos.

The story of Nazi Germany is one of conflict between two saviors and two crosses. “Deine Reich komme,” Hitler prayed publicly—“Thy Kingdom come.” But to whose kingdom was he referring? When Germany truly needed a savior, Adolf Hitler falsely assumed the role. He directed his countrymen to a cross, but he bent and hammered the true cross into a horrific substitute: a swastika. Where was the church through all of this? With a few exceptions, the German church looked away while Hitler inflicted his “Final Solution” upon the Jews. Hitler’s Cross is a chilling historical account of what happens when evil meets a silent, shrinking church, and an intriguing and convicting exposé of modern America’s own hidden crosses. Erwin W. Lutzer extracts a number of lessons from this dark chapter in world history, such as: The dangers of confusing church and state The role of God in human tragedy The parameters of Satan's freedom Hitler's Cross is the story of a nation whose church forgot its call and discovered its failure way too late. It is a cautionary tale for every church and Christian to remember who the true King is.

The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.
