(When Kent Keith put his ten timeless principles-first art...)
When Kent Keith put his ten timeless principles-first articulated when he was a college student in the 1960's-and their philosophy into book form, this modern credo for doing good anyway became a sensation. In the wake of Anyway, the author returns to present an important and inspiring new book illustrating the Paradoxical Commandments through Bible stories and verse. Kent Keith found himself asked by Christians across the country how his Paradoxical Commandments relate to the Christian faith. In Jesus Did It Anyway, he draws from Bible stories from the Old and New Testaments, as well as personal anecdotes, to connect the Paradoxical Commandments with scripture, paving the way for Christians everywhere to deepen their understanding of his timeless principles. Each chapter contains inspiring stories-some from scripture, some from Keith's own experiences-illuminating each of his Commandments by examining how Jesus and other biblical figures lived their faith. Despite facing tremendous adversity, they flourished and were divinely blessed. In Jesus Did It Anyway, Christians can learn how answering Jesus' call to live a paradoxical life can lead to deep happiness and personal meaning.

( People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered: ...)
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered: Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives: Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies: Succeed anyway.... from the Paradoxical Commandments Dr. Kent Keith published the Paradoxical Commandments as part of a book he wrote for student leaders in the 1960s when he was an undergraduate at Harvard. These maxims for finding meaning in the face of adversity took on a life of their own, making their way into countless speeches, advice columns, books, institutions, and homes around the world. They were even found on the wall of Mother Teresa’s children’s home in Calcutta. They became the basis of Keith’s bestselling book Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments. Do It Anyway expands on the vision behind the Paradoxical Commandments. It includes forty stories of people who live the commandments each day and gives you the examples, tools, and encouragement to find personal meaning and deep happiness, no matter who you are or what your circumstances, even when times are tough.

Best-selling author Kent Keith self-published his Paradoxical Commandments in the 1960s as an undergrad at Harvard, and promptly forgot them. But these maxims emphasizing selflessness and compassion took on a life of their own, finding their way into countless speeches, advice columns, institutions, and homes. Thirty years later, they were reclaimed by Kent and formally published as Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments, an inspirational guide-for-living. Now Kent shares new stories of following these simple, sensible truths. This companion guide includes specific tools, exercises, and suggestions that the reader can use for personal introspection or group discussion.

(Ein moderner Klassiker: einfach, inspirierend und zeitlos...)
Ein moderner Klassiker: einfach, inspirierend und zeitlos Ursprünglich formulierte Kent M. Keith 1968 die zehn paradoxen Gebote als Student. Rasch zeigte es sich, dass sie für viele ausgesprochen inspirierend waren. Die prägnanten und affirmativen Leitsätze verbreiteten sich rund um den Globus und selbst bei Mutter Teresa fand man sie an die Wand ihres Kinderheims in Kalkutta gepinnt. Und so schrieb Kent M. Keith dieses Buch, in dem er die Geschichten und Ideen erzählt, die hinter jedem Gebot stehen und was es bedeutet, nach ihnen zu leben. Die Erläuterungen, Merksätze und Fallbeispiele veranschaulichen die Gebote, machen sie praktisch erfahrbar und füllen sie mit Leben. Das Buch berührte Abertausende. Es wurde ein Bestseller und in 17 Sprachen übersetzt. Erstmals erscheint Anyway nun auf Deutsch.
