Cover of Cárgalo a mi cuenta, by Alan Hernández

Does someone owe you something?

Let's talk about wounds, betrayals, disappointments and misunderstandings. Open accounts that stay unsettled in the heart and, until they are resolved, keep us standing still.

Two thousand years ago, a slave ran away from his master after robbing him. His escape took him to Rome, where he met the apostle Paul, who was in prison. After hearing his story, Paul wrote a short but powerful letter that would reveal one of the deepest pictures of grace.

“Charge it to my account” — four words that hold the gospel in summary: someone innocent chooses to take on a debt he never incurred, in order to reconcile those who were apart.

This book takes you into the heart of the letter to Philemon to speak about offense, bitterness, forgiveness, shame, reconciliation and identity. It is not just spiritual theory; it is a direct invitation to look at the condition of your heart, to let go of what is not yours to carry, and to let the Holy Spirit heal what you have carried for years.

It stays on your screen. Nothing is sent anywhere.

That account with has been open for a while. And until it's settled, it keeps you standing still. That is what this book is about.

This is not a surface balm for your wound: this book is a mirror, and it is my prayer that as you look into it you will find the truth that can truly set you free.

Parte I · Capítulo 1

Una postal para el corazón

Sobre toda cosa guardada, guarda tu corazón, porque de él mana la vida.Proverbios 4:23

No sé de qué generación eres tú. Si naciste en los 2000, probablemente la palabra postal te suene a algo anticuado. Pero si tienes algunos kilómetros de vida encima como yo, recuerdas perfectamente lo que era. Al estar de viaje lejos de casa, entrabas a una de esas tiendas de souvenirs que había en cada esquina del lugar turístico, y elegías una foto bonita que representara eso que estabas conociendo: el mar, una montaña, un edificio antiguo. Ahí mismo, con una pluma prestada, le escribías un mensaje corto a alguien querido para después ponerlo en un buzón rojo en plena calle.

Y dos semanas después, cuando ya habías regresado a casa y andabas otra vez metido en tu rutina, esa postal llegaba a su destinatario, a tu mamá, tu pareja, un amigo. Cuando la veían, tú ya estabas en otro lugar. Pero esa foto del mar en un pedacito de cartón con tu letra les decía algo importante: te pensé. Aunque estaba lejos, te pensé.

Hoy todo eso está casi extinto. Hoy levantas el celular, te tomas una selfie en la playa, le agregas un filtro, la compartes en tus redes sociales y a los tres segundos toda tu lista de contactos sabe que estás de vacaciones. La velocidad de la comunicación se aceleró por mil. Y aún así, hay algo que no se ha multiplicado al mismo ritmo: la profundidad de los corazones. Nos comunicamos más rápido que nunca y sin embargo tenemos menos comunión que nunca. Más mensajes y menos vínculos. Más conexión digital y también más relaciones rotas en la vida real.

What's inside.

Three parts, ten chapters and a ten-session study guide for reading it as a group. After every chapter, three questions to reflect on.
