Publisher's 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.

Just What My Soul Needed

I am a terminal cancer patient and I consider myself spiritual but not religious. While I may not agree with everything written in this book, it was exactly what I needed at this time in my life. And I would say the vast majority of it was both instructive and inspired. I hope when I go, I am able to say "thank you" to God as well, and I hope I can leave behind some of the lessons I have learned in my 40 years on this planet (hopefully more than 40).

Great read

For me, the book seemed to start slow, but I really enjoyed the book. This book speaks of and to the core of everyone.

Oh, My Soul

This book was phenomenal! I will listen to it again and again. I’ve never really considered what really constitutes my soul, and how to care for it, until now. The gentleman who read the story did an excellent job as well. The principles contained in the book are not only extremely Biblical, they’re extremely relevant for our time. It’s a love-hate book, really. I loved the idea that God cares that much for us, but hated the fact that I was reminded of the sinfulness I dole out on a daily basis.
