Synopsis
How many self-help or life-strategy books do you know have been around for thousands of years and are still revered by millions of people today? I believe there are two such books: the Bible and the Tao Te Ching. This Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is an 81-day journey into the limitless power of your spirit that will allow you to find true happiness and abundance. It reveals profound spiritual principles that, when put into practice, can set you on your own greatness: finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of God’s Spirit in your life, trusting it to guide your actions and amplify your efforts so that you can achieve your best possible life. Featuring a text of the Tao Te Ching that's infused with language from the Bible to clarify themes common to both books, this volume also includes annotations to specific Bible verses that will help you: • Discern the mystic wisdom contained in God’s Word • Discover how to tap into the flow of God’s energy in your life to accomplish your goals • Learn how to live in the present moment without undue concern about the future • Connect to the power of God’s Spirit to create or change any aspect of your life. Though often overlooked by the world at large, the subtle, powerful, and often paradoxical truths revealed in this volume will allow all readers—Christian and non-Christian alike—to find their own Greatness.This Christian Edition of the Tao Te Ching is like a road map helping us realize we are Built For Greatness. On this path, “greatness” isn’t about putting forth maximum effort to achieve fame, financial success or other such trappings that the world commonly venerates. Rather, Built For Greatness is about finding, orienting yourself toward and then following the flow of energy and God’s Spirit in your life, trusting it both to guide your actions and to amplify your efforts to achieve your best possible life. This might include wealth and other material blessings; or it might not. Everyone’s path is different. The key is to find your journey and follow it, trusting it to take you where it will. If you take care of the journey, the destination will take care of itself. How to read this book? Avoid the temptation to rush through this book. Instead, try reading just one chapter every day in a kind of 81-day experiment. At the end of your 81 days and the 81 chapters, take a spiritual inventory. How have your thoughts changed over the last eleven weeks? What are you doing differently now? Do you have an increased sense of peace and stillness in your life? As you continue to explore these new ideas, you very well might find yourself repeating this 81-day experiment. The principles are ever more important today, teaching us to keep our priorities clear so we can follow the Spirit of God and exercise leadership with God’s amazing grace. In the wake of a Reformation dividing Christianity 500 years ago, this Christian version of the Tao Te Ching will be vital as a unifying spiritual Reformation for now and the future.
