�C�mo llega alguien a ser un verdadero, apasionado e intr�pido seguidor de Cristo?

La cultura en la que estamos inmersos nos ha convencido de que, con esfuerzo y dedicaci�n, podemos impulsar nuestro propio crecimiento. Incontables libros, seminarios, talleres y cursos nos seducen con alguna f�rmula segura para lograr cambios. La propuesta de Jes�s a sus disc�pulos, sin embargo, es enteramente diferente. Es una invitaci�n a caminar juntos por la vida.

En Vida por contagio, Christopher Shaw nos ense�a c�mo se produce, en el marco de esa relaci�n con Cristo, un milagro: un misterioso proceso por el que uno comienza a ser parecido a �l. Uno cambia, sin haberse propuesto cambiar, porque pasa mucho tiempo con el �nico que nos puede cambiar. En esa sencilla ecuaci�n encontramos la clave de la transformaci�n. Y nos ayuda a entender por qu� el ser consumidores de experiencias religiosas nunca nos cambiar�

Porque solamente aquellos que viven perdidamente enamorados de Dios acaban teniendo un coraz�n parecido al de �l.

How does one become a true, passionate, and intrepid follower of Christ?

The culture in which we're immersed has convinced us that, with enough effort and dedication, we can set our own growth in motion. Countless books, seminars, workshops, and courses entice us with some formula to achieve change. What Jesus proposes to his disciples, however, is something else entirely. It's an invitation to walk through life together.

In Living Contagious Lives, Christopher Shaw teaches us how, in the context of that relationship with Christ, a miracle takes place: a mysterious process through which one begins to resemble him. You change, without having set out to change, because you spend a lot of time with the One who can change us. It's in that simple equation that we find the key to transformation. And it helps us understand why being consumers of religious experiences will never change us:

Because only those who live hopelessly in love with God have a heart like his in the end.
