Someone has rightly described the American lifestyle as "the hasty pursuit of unexamined goals." Everyone seems to be in a hurry to climb the ladder, to gain wealth, to pursue education. But what do you really gain when you get all that this world has to offer? 

Solomon takes an insightful look at "life under the sun" (a worldly view) to help us examine our goals before we invest a lifetime in things that won't satisfy. Tommy Brooks guides us through Solomon's wisdom to help us build a life that counts for eternity and adds meaning to our existence in the here and now. 

The mirror doesn't lie. Our enemies might try to convince us that we are less than we really are. Our friends might even flatter us into believing that we're more than we really are. The mirror tells us the truth — the good, the bad, and sometimes even the ugly. 

God's Word is the true mirror that allows us to look deeply into our own hearts and see as God sees. James, the brother of Jesus, holds God's mirror and encourages us to fix what is out of place and to clean whatever is dirty. We strive to look like Jesus in today's world. ​

El espejo no miente. Nos muestra lo mejor y lo peor de lo que realmente somos. La Palabra de Dios es el espejo que nos permite ver como Dios ve. A medida que somos obedientes a Su Palabra, nos volvemos cada vez más como el espejo: Jesucristo. Si verdaderamente reflejamos la Palabra de Dios, entonces Su imagen será la que los demás vean cuando nos miren.

Nuestro caminar cristiano es un proceso continuo de aprendizaje para llegar a ser más como Cristo, y ese proceso no estará completo hasta que veamos a Cristo cara a cara en el espejo de Su Palabra. En esta continuación de Mirando al hombre en el espejo, Tommy Brooks repasa con los lectores lo que debemos hacer para obtener el espíritu semejante al de Cristo que queremos en nuestra obediencia a Su Palabra.
