Leader’s Edge (Spiritual Formation)
Carpe Diem Redeemed: Seizing the Day, Discerning the Times
Os Guinness
Publisher: IVP Books, 2019, 176 pages
Summary
Life is short, and it can be as easily wasted as lived to the full. In these fast and superficial times, Os Guinness calls us to consequential living by “seizing the day.” In strong contrast to both Eastern and secularist views of time, he reorients our very notion of history, not as cyclical nor as meaningless, but as linear and purposeful. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, time and history are meaningful, and human beings have agency to live with freedom and consequence in partnership with God. Thus we can seek to serve God’s purpose for our generation, read the times, and discern our call for this moment in history.
