Synopsis
The heart of Christianity is about transformation - about a God who isn't just concerned with our "spiritual lives," but who wants to impact every aspect of living. It's realizing that God meets us not in a monastery but on Main Street, and that all of ordinary, daily life has the potential to be lived as if Jesus himself were the one living it. Now expanded to include an added chapter on prayer and discussion questions designed to help small groups make the journey together, The Life You've Always Wanted offers modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines. But this is more than just a book about things we should do if we want to be good Christians. It's a road map toward true transformation, compelling because it starts not with ourselves but with the object of our journey - Jesus Christ. Paved with humor and sparkling anecdotes, The Life You've Always Wanted is an encouraging and challenging approach to a Christian life that's worth living. Life on the edge that fills our ordinary world with new meaning, hope, change, and a joyous, growing closeness to Christ.

Customer Reviews

Enjoying life with God
Humourous, pignant, powerful and profound. John Ortberg's classic will have you looking afresh at some Bible stories you thought you knew and unlocking fresh insights. With consummate skill, fuelled by years of pastoral experience Ortberg paints a picture for the reader of a life fulfilled and happy in God. Well worth the cover price for the "dee-da-day" chapter alone.

Fantastic!!!!
