Summary

When is the last time you thought about the state of your soul? Best-selling author John Ortberg guides you through several practices to restore your soul so you can experience a life of wholeness, balance, and hope.

The health of your soul isn't just a matter of saved or unsaved. It's the hinge on which the rest of your life hangs. It's the difference between deep, satisfied spirituality and a restless, dispassionate faith.

In an age of materialism and consumerism that tries to buy its way to happiness, many souls are starved and unhealthy, unsatisfied by false promises of status and wealth. We've neglected this eternal part of ourselves, focusing instead on the temporal concerns of the world - and not without consequence.

Including reflections from his decades-long relationship with his friend and mentor Dallas Willard, best-selling author John Ortberg presents another classic that will help you discover your soul - the most important connection to God there is - and find your way out of the spiritual shallow-lands to true divine depth. With characteristic insight and an accessible story-filled approach, Ortberg will help you connect more deeply with the God who gave you life and desires every day to bring more meaning, hope, and abundance to that life.

Superb mind blowing book

This book is the best Ortberg book I have ever read. It is thought provoking, challenging and encouraging. I have read it twice and will go back to it again in the future. He quotes from many sources but in particular refers to the late Dallas Willard. As someone who is particularly interested in soul/spiritual care and pastoral care, I highly recommend it. It will bless and challenge in equal measure.

All good points but none I haven’t heard before

Dallas Willard and John Ortberg have really inspired and encouraged my faith and I would highly recommend their writings. However, having read quite a few of their books, I didn’t find this one added much to my understanding of their theology and key points. It is obviously important to Ortberg to express his respect and admiration for Willard, and he clearly mourns the loss of a close friend and mentor. However, as I listened to this book, I felt a little uncomfortable at the height of the pedestal on which he puts him!
