Portada trasera Nacemos genéticamente predispuestos a buscar la felicidad por todas partes y al final solo la obtenemos por cortos períodos de tiempo. ¿Cuál es la razón? Se debe a que desconocemos tres aspectos fundamentales que se esconden en los siguientes tres grandes interrogantes: ¿Es posible alcanzar la felicidad permanente? ¿Cuál es el camino para llegar a la felicidad permanente? ¿Para qué nos sirve ser feliz y cuáles son sus frutos? Luego de dedicarle tiempo a la reflexión sobre estos grandes interrogantes, nace el libro: "La Ruta del Hechizo" en el cual se plantea la Felicidad Filosófica, para que hagas de ella, una filosofía de vida y así disfrutes la felicidad permanente. Además, es la primera vez en la historia, que podemos medir la felicidad área por área, al igual que el sistema de emociones que le da vida y energía al alma. Este aporte es muy importante, porque nos permite enfocarnos en las áreas críticas de la Felicidad Filosófica y del conjunto de emociones, de tal manera que se nos haga más fácil rectificar en aquellos aspectos donde estamos fallando. Por la importancia de los planteamientos que aquí se hacen, este libro es como el teléfono celular, antes de que existiera, no era necesario, y hoy, quien no tenga uno, anda desconectado. Si eres mayor de 18 años, no dejes de leer este libro.

Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
