Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn: Leaving the Self-centered Life Behind

0/5 ( ratings)

You have the job, the cars, the house, the family, the church, the pets - there aren't enough hours in the day, days in the week, or months in the year to accomplish everything you need to do. This book is for you. Or maybe you're on the opposite end of the spectrum, struggling through each day as it achingly passes, moment by moment. This book is for you, too. Whether you have too much, just right, or not enough, Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn gently reminds us of the power, the joy, and the simplicity of service. Through inspiring stories and personal reflections, James Riley encourages us to begin a "lifelong and continuous journey toward learning and serving for the common good" in our every day lives, whether we find ourselves harried or hurting or both. Unlike many self-help methods, Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn does not call for action first. Rather, it asks us to ponder, to contemplate, and ultimately to live our lives well and fully. It explores the meaning of true service, the joy of true service, and the relationship between service and leadership. The principles are simple, encompassing the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. But since the journey is long, Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn is light and easy to carry - both in our hands, and in our hearts. In the hustle-bustle, hurry-scurry of every waking minute, it's easy to forget the little things that matter most. Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn is a book just in time for all of us.
