Ordering Your Private World

By: Gordon MacDonald

Narrated by: Maurice England

Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins

Publisher's Summary

We have schedule planners, computerized calendars, and self-stick notes to help us organize our business and social lives everyday. But what about organizing the other side of our lives - the spiritual side?

One of the great battlegrounds of the new century is within the private world of the individual. The values of our Western culture incline us to believe that the busy, publicly active person in ministry is also the most spiritual.

Tempted to give imbalanced attention to the public world at the expense of the private, we become involved in more programs, more meetings. Our massive responsibilities at home, work, and church have resulted in a lot of good people on the verge of collapse.

In this timely update of his classic Ordering Your Private World, Gordon MacDonald equips a new generation to live life from the inside out, cultivating the inner victory necessary for public effectiveness.

“With much enthusiasm I recommend this book to all of you who, like me, need order in your private world.” (Charles Swindoll, chancellor, Dallas Theological Seminary)

Read this! God can change everything when we surrender

Thank you for this book! I can’t tell you how easy it is to read, understand and implement. I’m so grateful I was told to read it!

One of the most helpful books I’ve ever read

As a child of God, wife, mother of 4, Pastor’s wife, and several other titles I will not go ahead and list, this book has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. Thank you for writing the wisdom you have gained in this book. I am hoping to be closer to God, a greater blessing to my family and those we are blessed to serve because of the words in this book. The last chapter really sums it all up for me. I am going to implement a TRUE SABBATH immediately. God bless. Thanks again. I will recommend this to every person we mentor and every young minister we know.
