The author begins this book by confessing that he was able to escape from his pessimistic state only when he realized how precious he was before God and understood that he had been lazy due to misguided self-love, despite the despair of his youth when he chose the life of an atheist because he could not find a reason to live.
The new book, "Laziness Again," is a book that tells us through experience that only love and gratitude toward God can give us the strength to reject our lethargic and sluggish hearts and move forward into new life.
By reiterating the theme of his previous work, “Laziness,” that laziness, or lack of passion, which renders life meaningless, stems from a distaste for the soul, in a new style that is not bound by form or genre, he guides readers to more sensitively grasp and accept the message.


To live a life of mere vanity simply because you were born is not living; it is just existing without meaning.
Knowing God, the only truth, and reflecting on His immeasurable love for us, loving Him and living according to His will is the reason we were born and our duty.
By living correctly at the time we are supposed to live, we can stand boldly before God at the time we are supposed to die.

Laziness is a disease of the soul that does not love God.
It is a disease that causes one to be unable to be zealous in good deeds due to a wrong love for oneself.
This sick mind comes from a dead soul, so kill it and the living will live, and the living will die according to their nature.

Because we are beings loved by the Almighty God, and therefore are solemnly and preciously precious beings that cannot be exchanged for anything in the world, we must possess a dignity befitting that status.
This life that God has given me as a gift must not only save me, but also help others live.
To do so, we must live as fervent beings before God, free from the disease of laziness that pollutes all our thoughts and impoverishes even our spirit.
With all this enlightenment and encouragement, the author emotionally portrays the coming end of his life.
I earnestly hope that when I come down from the stage, take off my costume, remove my makeup, and am left alone, I can calmly and peacefully pray, “God, receive my spirit.”
Having traversed life's path more desperately than anyone else, having fully experienced its sweet and bitter mystery, I share with readers my concerns and determination about how difficult it is to offer such a prayer at that time with a sincerity that simply pours out, and what kind of life one must live to be able to offer such a prayer.

Just as flowers that bloomed splendidly and beautifully wither when the time comes, and even their withering appearance is sad and makes them all the more sorrowful, so too, we must live our lives fervently in obedience to God with love so that our lives do not become mere petals that wither in vain.
I wish to live a life always remembering that this season, when flowers bloom and fall, could be our last days.

Although we, as sinners, cannot help but feel confused and discouraged by our imperfect lives, this book makes us realize that we cannot live lazy and meaningless lives because there is a God who loves us. This book is even more impressive because of the unconventional writing style and structure of the author, Pastor Namjun Kim.
The author, who has been actively writing for nearly 30 years, has conveyed his vast academic knowledge and thoughts through legal and logical writing, but in this book, he has completely broken away from the existing format and framework.
The concise and short lines of writing, which are neither poetry nor prose, ignore the principles of order and rhyme, and make us more keenly aware of the content between the lines in the labyrinthine condensation.
The friendly and familiar tone makes it easy to convey, but the weight of the principles and morals contained within it is not light, making you read it repeatedly and ponder it.

For modern people who are accustomed to change, do not prefer preachy writing, and do not know how to listen to others' opinions, this new writing style, which conveys a message like Socratic dialogue at the boundary between written and spoken language, has the power to convince the subject instantly and has the authority to leave an impression on them even if they do not want to accept it.
This writing is the product of the author's painstaking efforts to convey to a wider audience what it means to live a truly meaningful life.


Eighteen years after the first edition of "Laziness" was published, the appeal hidden between the lines is all the more poignant, as it conveys with greater clarity the valuation of the soul that humans will one day have to face, with a deeper intellect and insight.

This book reminds us that humans are not disgusting beings because they are incompetent, but rather objects that evoke feelings of pity. It urges us to live a life that fulfills the reason to live by breaking free from the spiritual illness of laziness with endless compassion and love, with deeper wisdom, and with a heartfelt earnestness behind calm speech, following the example of Jesus Christ. I sincerely hope that through this book, you will once again reflect on your own life and faith.
