Cuando La Soledad Duele – (Spanish)
$14.99La soledad que duele es un enemigo silencioso, y destructor. Se oculta y ataca desde las sombras en el momento mas impensado. Es melancolia, es tristeza en el alma que sale por los poros, deforma la cara, y entristece los ojos. La soledad que duele, una vez que se afinco en una persona no se ahuyenta rodeandose intencionalmente de gente, o sumergiendose en una voragine de actividades, y mucho menos con el alcohol, las drogas, o compaias eventuales. La soledad que duele puede ser fisica, emocional, espiritual y hasta virtual. Hay soledad en la vejez, pero la hay tambien en la juventud. Duele en la falta de pareja, en el abandono, en la viudez y en la solteria. Duele por las noches, y los domingos por la tarde. Duele, aunque se oculte detras de exitos eventuales. Duele y dolera hasta encontrar la conexion por donde fluye la compaia perfecta, la “pieza faltante” en la vida que cambia el entorno, pero lo hace desde el individuo. La pieza faltante que completa el alma, cubre el dolor y lo deshace.
En este libro revelaremos cada area de la soledad que duele, y la aislaremos tratandola desde la perspectiva biblica con el auxilio del Espiritu Santo, hasta que desaparezca.
The loneliness that hurts is a silent and destructive enemy. It hides and attacks from the shadows at the most unexpected moment. It is melancholy, it is sadness in the soul that comes out through the pores, deforms the face, and saddens the eyes. The loneliness that hurts, once it has settled in a person, cannot be warded off by intentionally surrounding yourself with people, or immersing yourself in a maelstrom of activities, much less with alcohol, drugs, or occasional company. Loneliness that hurts can be physical, emotional, spiritual and even virtual. There is loneliness in old age, but there is also loneliness in youth. It hurts in the lack of a partner, in abandonment, in widowhood and in singleness. It hurts at night, and on Sunday afternoons. It hurts even if it hides behind eventual successes. It hurts and will hurt until you find the connection through which the perfect company flows, the “missing piece” in life that changes the environment but does so from the individual. The missing piece that completes the soul, covers the pain and undoes it.In this book we will reveal each area of loneliness that hurts, and we will isolate it, treating it from the biblical perspective with the help of the Holy Spirit, until it disappears.
