Simple y libre: 7 experimentos contra el exceso

¿Por qué buscamos más cuando seríamos más felices con menos? Esta es la historia de cómo la autora bestseller del New York Times Jen Hatmaker y su familia intentaron combatir la complacencia excesiva... y lo que aprendieron sobre tener una vida realmente plena al mismo tiempo. Simple y libre es la verdadera historia de cómo Jen y su familia identificaron siete áreas de exceso -comida, ropa, gastos, medios de comunicación, posesiones, desperdicio y estrés-, y tomaron siete decisiones muy simples para combatir las enfermedades modernas de la avaricia, el materialismo y la complacencia desmedida. Así pues, ¿qué obtienes al llevar una vida escueta? El descubrimiento de una conexión enorme con Dios, un llamado hacia la simplicidad y la generosidad que transciende el mero experimento social para convertirse en una vida radicalmente mejor. En esta nueva edición, escrita no solo para los lectores de fe, sino para todos los que anhelan una vida más gentil y más sencilla, Jen comparte cómo la sustentabilidad y la generosidad siguen impactando y retándola hoy en día. Ahora comentada, con nuevas reflexiones de la autora, la edición ofrece emotivas ideas mientras Jen medita sobre lo abismalmente distinto que es el mundo de Simple y libre, comparado con lo que era cuando se publicó 7, y considera el espacio totalmente diferente que ocupa ahora. Simple y libre es un libro gracioso, directo, y no un alimento para la culpa. Ven a descubrir cómo se vería en tu vida la versión de Jesús de ser rico, bendecido y generoso.

This audiobook includes bonus tracks with interviews from Shauna Niequist (Present Over Perfect), Hillary McBride (Mothers, Daughters, and Body Image), Pete Enns (How the Bible Actually Works), and more from Jen's podcast, For the Love! No more hiding or people-pleasing up in here, sisters. No more being sidelined in your own life. It is time for us to be brave, to claim our gifts and quirks and emotions. You are set free and set up and set on fire. NOW you can get busy doing what you were placed on this planet to do. NOW you can be honest, honest, honest about all of it, even the hard stuff, even the humiliating stuff, even the secret stuff. NOW you can walk in your convictions of faith and ask new questions unafraid. NOW you can be so free, because you are not searching for value from any source other than your own beautiful soul made piece by piece by God who adores you and is ready to get on with the business of unleashing you into this world. In this audiobook, I break it down into five self-reflective categories-who I am, what I need, what I want, what I believe, and how I connect-and by working your way through them, you will learn to - own your space, ground, and gifts (they are YOURS, sister); - be strong in your relationships and lay down passive aggression, resentment, drama, and compliance; - say GUILT-FREE what you want and what you need; and - welcome spiritual curiosity and all the fantastic change that doing so creates. You with me, beloveds? If we do this work on our own selves now, not only will we discover a life truly worth living, but we will free our daughters to rise up behind us, with spines straight, heads up, and coated in our strength.

7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess

Do you feel trapped in the machine of excess? Jen Hatmaker was. Her friends were. And some might say that our culture is. Jen once considered herself unmotivated by the lure of prosperity, but upon being called “rich” by an undeniably poor child, evidence to the contrary mounted, and a social experiment turned spiritual journey was born. 7 is the true story of how Jen took seven months, identified seven areas of excess, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence. Food. Clothes. Spending. Media. Possessions. Waste. Stress. Jen and her family would spend 30 days on each topic, boiling it down to the number seven. Only eat seven foods, wear seven articles of clothing, and spend money in seven places. Eliminate use of seven media types, give away seven things each day for one month, adopt seven green habits, and observe “seven sacred pauses.” So, what’s the payoff from living a deeply reduced life? It’s the discovery of a greatly increased God — a call toward Christ-like simplicity and generosity that transcends a social experiment to become a radically better existence. 7 is funny, raw, and not a guilt trip in the making, so come along and consider what Jesus’ version of rich, blessed, and generous might look like in your life. “Jen Hatmaker is a model for her experiment in radical obedience to Christ. May we all be as committed to Jesus’ Gospel revolution.” — Richard Stearns, president of World Vision US, author of The Hole in Our Gospel
