Bringing together personal memoir and theology, he reflects on why he identifies as Roman Catholic, and considers how this tradition addresses what it means to follow and participate in the life of the Triune God as a finite creature.

“With stoic calm”: That’s how people describe individuals who seemingly can’t be thrown off balance by anything—and perhaps you wish that for yourself more often, too? In that case, you should take a closer look at the actual Stoa, and this book will show you how easily Stoicism can be integrated into your everyday life! Reacting to events without emotion and not letting joyful occasions, annoyances, or strokes of fate affect you: this Stoa stereotype seems impossible and hardly desirable—but wouldn’t a bit more control over your inner life be nice?

El Protestantismo es el movimiento cristiano que más crece, se desarrolla y cambia dentro del panorama religioso del mundo. América Latina, África, Asia y Europa del Este han sufrido una verdadera mutación religiosa.

The merging of Stoic philosophy and Christian faith is not a contradiction—it is a crucible. The Stoic teaches us to master the self. The Christian teaches us to surrender the self to something higher. Both disciplines demand courage, perseverance, humility, and self-examination. This book aims to unite those ideas—not as doctrine, but as direction—for the modern man in need of a compass.

Life is short, and it can be as easily wasted as lived to the full. In the midst of our harried modern world, how do we make the most of life and the time we have? In these fast and superficial times, Os Guinness calls us to consequential living. In strong contrast to both Eastern and secularist views of time, he reorients our very notion of history, not as cyclical nor as meaningless, but as linear and purposeful. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, time and history are meaningful, and human beings have agency to live with freedom and consequence in partnership with God.
