In this turbulent scenario, Davi Lago proposes a pause, a moment to regroup. It's necessary to deal with pressures without losing one's soul. We must return to biblical wisdom, the inexhaustible source of relevant insight for exhausted human beings.
Lighten Up emerges as an essential contribution. It is a light yet profound read, meant to be savored slowly. Here, we find Jesus's purest message. We need to learn from the Master, who is gentle and humble of heart. This book is a new approach to facing the challenges of daily life.
