“Dar y Recibir” by David Read is now available for purchase

 by the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:7-13, David continues to press forward in his spiritual journey, striving to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. Amidst the trials and victories of life, he remains anchored in the love of God, Jesus, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, ever committed to sharing his insights and experiences through his writing.

“Give and Take” traces a journey from salvation through struggle, into peace, and finally to gratitude. David Read suggests that our beliefs about people, work, and relationships all spring from one core principle: the balance between what we offer and what we receive. This balance, he explains, is rooted in the divine design of our souls—created in God’s image—which equips us to engage meaningfully with every aspect of life.

Excitingly, “Give and Take” by David Read is now available in Spanish Edition! Whether you’re reading it as “Dar y Recibir” or the original English version, this book offers a thoughtful exploration of how our lives are shaped by what we choose to give and what we choose to take. Rooted in the biblical truth that we are made in God’s image, Read argues that every thought, action, and relationship reflects this divine capacity. Starting from salvation, the journey weaves through spiritual warfare, restoration, peace, and ultimately gratitude—illuminating how spiritual insight transforms our responses to life’s ups and downs.

As the book unfolds, it becomes clear that every encounter, every experience, and every relationship reflects how we give to God and how we receive from Him. Read emphasizes that God abundantly supplies wisdom and resources, urging us to embrace these gifts for growth and transformation.

The deeper we go, the more we realize that our lives are defined by what we contribute and the wisdom we take in. The principle of give-and-take is not abstract; it provides a practical framework for navigating daily challenges and building healthy relationships.

Drawing from the lives of biblical figures like David, Nehemiah, and Daniel, Read illustrates how their faith, discipline, and choices embodied this principle. Through their stories, we learn that respect, forgiveness, and mastering our thoughts are vital to living out this dynamic. These examples reveal how love and divine guidance shape our actions, decisions, and connections with God and others.

Ultimately, “Dar y Recibir” by David Read blends theology with practical insights, inviting readers to pause and reflect on their own lives. By practicing this balance, we can strengthen our faith, deepen our relationships, and experience the fullness of God’s purpose. More than just a book, it serves as a call to transformation—encouraging readers to reimagine how they engage with God, others, and the world around them.

Below is the Spanish description of the book:

¿Alguna vez te has preguntado por qué piensas de la manera en que lo haces acerca de las personas, los trabajos, las relaciones y prácticamente sobre cualquier cosa que hayas encontrado? Todo lo que has experimentado, cada pensamiento que has tenido, es el resultado directo de lo que le has dado o lo que has tomado de ello. Esta es la capacidad de nuestras almas para dar pensamiento y recibir pensamiento en relación con todo lo que vemos, oímos y sentimos en esta vida. Dios nos ha diseñado a su imagen, y en esta creación nos ha dado la capacidad de hacerlo.

En este libro Dar y Recibir, seguiremos el camino desde la salvación hasta la guerra, hacia la paz y la acción de gracias, al ver que Dios nos da mucho y que mucho está disponible de Él para que lo tomemos en nuestro beneficio. Al descubrir quién es Él como Dios soberano, comenzarás a medir tu vida según lo que le das y lo que tomas de ella. Entender que los principios establecidos en el dar y recibir los aplicamos en el respeto, el perdón, el tomar cautivo los pensamientos y más, como se ve en los ejemplos de David, Nehemías, Daniel, el apóstol Juan y otros, es a través de su amor. Todo lo que damos a esta vida y todo lo que tomamos de esta vida está definido por este principio de dar y recibir. Cada relación, cada evento, cada momento se interpreta por cómo damos a Dios y cómo recibimos de Él.
