Give Life to Your Dreams

8 principles for a happy life

by Ricardo Bentancur

Life does not consist only of breathing and moving. It is a lot more than that; and the author of this book describes the different factors that make living a fascinating and significant experience. These are not empty concepts, extracted from the world of ideas, but rather practical lessons taken from real life, from human beings who one day discovered the meaning of a full, exuberant life.
–Alejandro Bullón, writer and international speaker

In this book, pastor and doctor Ricardo Bentancur expounds on the eight biblical principles for happiness and confirms the latest research in medicine and positive psychology about the prickly subject of happiness in a world in crisis. Each chapter contains scientific information, a test for self-evaluation, and a Bible study guide.
The whole book will help you give life to your dreams.
–Roger Hernandez, writer, counselor, and speaker

[ Bookshelf Review ]
“It was a dark, frigid night in January 2004. I had crossed the border to visit a sick woman, the mother of one of the farmworkers who pick vegetables in Yum, Arizona. After the visit, I walked to the bus stop to wait for my ride back to the ‘line’ in order to re-enter the United States. A few minutes after I reached the bus stop, a Volkswagen van pulled over a few yards in front of me and then took off again. It sped around the block and this time hit the brakes right in front of me. Out jumped two hooded men, who grabbed me at gunpoint and without a word shoved me inside the vehicle. In an instant my life drastically changed. . . .”
From the first paragraph, Ricardo Bentancur had me interested—what might this story have to do with the eight principles for a healthy life in Give Life to Your Dreams? The chapter was titled “Gratitude,” so I was trying to work out how anyone could feel grateful for such an experience—and how being ungrateful could affect my health.
Each chapter begins with a true story illustrating a different life principle, each of which we might be surprised to learn influences our health far more than we realise. From here, the author uses current scientific thinking to explain the health consequences, and biblical evidence through the life of Jesus, to help the reader understand how this relates to us personally.
I found the question-and-answer section at the end of each chapter informative, with Bible references making this part of the book great for small-group discussion or personal Bible study. There is also a quick quiz to help you evaluate your own health for each topic.
Give Life to Your Dreams is an easy-to-read book that can be enjoyed not only by those interested in health but also by anyone who likes a good story.
