Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad by John Eldredge

challenging hopeful inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

4.5

"We can't stand at a distance from our own soul and ask Christ to 'go in there and deal with it'. This isn't hostage negotiation; we don't hide a block away and hope God takes care of business. This is your own soul we're talking about; the door opens from the inside...we open the door to our soul from the inside." 

This book is such a helpful resource for reclaiming the life you actually want to be living. This world is so distracting and disorienting and John Eldredge gives you practical steps to living a fulfilling and meaningful life. He sprinkles in beautiful stories of adventures and helpful examples from his own life. I love the writing style and simple steps he gives. Great book! Keeping on my bookshelf to return to when life feels too much!
