Synopsis

God has a calling for every Christian. He has also added appropriate and varied giftings. So how come so few achieve their potential? People set themselves up for defeat by skimping on inner development: failing to deepen their understanding of call, they spread themselves too thin or drive themselves to burnout. Now refreshed with up-to-date examples and references, Gordon MacDonald's book encourages readers to borrow from the workplace proven time-management and planning skills in order to free up space for spiritual growth. He then suggests key subjects that need to be covered to attain to those qualities of peace, resourcefulness, focus and balance that have adorned the lives of saints past and present.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Has anyone seen my time? I've misplaced it. We have schedule planners, computerized calendars, smart phones, and sticky notes to help us organize our business and social lives every day. But what about organizing the other side of our lives?the spiritual side? One of the great battlegrounds is within the private world of the individual. The values of our Western culture would have us believe 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 many good people on the verge of collapse. In this updated 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 "This book was the primary instrument that God used to motivate me to integrate spiritual disciplines into my daily walk with Christ . ..I shudder to think where I'd be today had I not read it." ?Bill Hybels, Senior pastor, Willow Creek Community Church
