Tu vorresti meno... Meno distrazioni e meno cose da fare. La dose quotidiana di email, sms, tweet, messaggi ti distrae e lo stress s'impenna. La tua vita è un dribbling continuo tra casa, lavoro e famiglia. E il prezzo da pagare è molto, troppo, elevato. Nello stesso tempo, però... tu vorresti più... Più soddisfazioni nella vita. Maggiore produttività sul lavoro e uno stipendio più alto. Più tempo libero per te, per la tua famiglia e per i tuoi amici. Ora puoi avre il più e il meno.

Since the Protestant Reformation and the beginning of the Enlightenment, the world, in the West at least, has become increasingly disenchanted. While this might be taken as evidence of a crisis of belief, Richard Beck argues it's actually a crisis of attention. God hasn't gone anywhere, but we've lost our capacity to see God.

Grace is more story than doctrine. It's more than forgiveness or compassion. It's undeserved by definition, essential to salvation. And it turns out that God's grace—though it's the only thing we stand on and the only thing we should stand for—is the very thing that we consistently distort and hesitate to extend to others. Why is that? To understand the story of grace—what it means and how it's misunderstood, why we need it and how it was given to us—we have to begin at the beginning.
