ORDERING YOUR PRIVATE WORLD PB [Paperback]

As a busy minister I know only too well how easy it is to focus on the externals of our service rather than the inner life. The result if that we become too busy, disorganised and end up driven by the wrong sets of demands. This book exposes the symptoms and then provides helpful, practical and biblical advice on recapturing our time, growing in knowledge and wisdom, enlarging the spiritual centre of our lives and absorbing the words of Christ into our attitudes and actions. It is a book to study, ponder and then work at. One of the most challenging books I have read in years, it is also one of the most helpful and practical. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

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.

My garden needs work ... Does that make in disorganised? Maybe it's a sign that you are driving yourself to do too much rather than focusing on those things which God is calling you to and has equipped you for! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
