The Life You've Always Wanted Participant's Guide with DVD: Six Sessions on Spiritual Disciplines for Ordinary People

by John Ortberg, Amanda Sorenson (With)

In the six-session small group Bible study, The Life You've Always Wanted, John Ortberg guides you and your group through the spiritual disciplines and teaches you how they can transform your spiritual life. What does true spiritual life really look like? And what keeps you from living it? And what can you do to pursue it? If you're tired of the status quo -- if you suspect there's more to Christianity than what you've experienced -- John Ortberg invites you to join him on a road to transformation and spiritual vigor that anyone can take. Cultivate new intimacy and confidence in prayer. Discover the freedom of secrecy. Taste the benefits of slowing life's frenetic pace. Learn how to be guided by the Holy Spirit...and much more. As in a marathon, the secret lied not in trying hard, but in training consistently. Proven by followers of Jesus over the centuries, the spiritual disciplines are exercises that strengthen your endurance race on the road to growth. This pack contains one softcover Participant Guide and one DVD with six video sessions. When used together, they provide you with a practical tool that can grow your faith. Sessions include: 1. It's Morphing Time 2. Slowing Down and Celebrating3. Praying and Confessing4. Meditating on Scripture and Seeking Guidance5. Practicing Servanthood, Finding Freedom6.

Great book on the disciplines. It is laid out very easily and I found this book to be a great read and reference for future incorporation of spiritual disciplines. Also a great book for small groups.
