Makarios: Der Weg, ein glücklicher Mensch zu werden
Makarios (glückselig) Ein Mensch, der zufrieden und mit sich und Gott im Einklang ist, wird in der Bibel als makarios beschrieben. Dieser Zustand hat allerdings weit weniger mit den äußeren Umständen unseres Lebens zu tun, als wir oft annehmen. Wer sich, wie Jesus Christus, auf das Abenteuer der Abhängigkeit von Gott einlässt, der ist auf dem besten Weg zu einem erfüllten Leben. Anhand biblischer Inhalte sowie aus seiner seelsorgerlichen Erfahrung heraus zeigt Manfred Engeli praktische Schritte auf dem Weg, selbst ein glücklicher Mensch zu werden.

I read this book in my small group. Every fortnight we meet up and the past 6 months we've been reading Makarios. We would each read the current chapter and then one of us would prepare questions or thoughts to discuss.
The book was interesting and I enjoyed reading it. A lot of abstract thoughts are simplified and Manfred Engeli provides pictures and drawings to explain what he means. I especially enjoyed "Die Kunst der kleinen Schritte", the Art of Small Steps, which encourages you to aspire change in your life and habit and pursuing this change even though you may fail on the way there.
A lot of ideas and thoughts about God and our relationship to him seem nice and good, however, I find myself at wit's end when it comes to implementing these in my everyday life. They seem very easy, even though they are not at all.
Overall, I liked the book and I can recommend reading it.
