Read for a men's group (church) that met twice a month. Would have been better read at a faster clip. Too easy to forget the thread. Overall, not remarkable.
I love Gordon MacDonald's writings... he has a depth and wisdom that I find lacking in many modern Christian authors. My favorite book by him is Ordering your Private World. He is very, very well read, which I am sure has contributed to the wisdom I detect in his work.
A book for anyone who feels stuck in their rut, or dissatisfied with where they are in life. Equal parts self-help and Bible study. Equal parts encouragement for those who feel there is no hope of worthwhile change, and challenge to those who are feeling complacent or satisfied with their Christian life.

Another excellent work by Gordon MacDonald about development of the inner life of faith. He rejects the idea that we can get too old or set in our ways to change. MacDonald uses the example of Abraham who is called first to leave the old life and then to step out into the unknown.

As with ALL Gordon's books I have read it was a life changing experience. He write practically yet thought provoking. I consider him my mentor, solely through his books...
good book on mid-life crisis
Ordering Your Private World is a book for anyone who feels like that are stuck in place and not satisfied with where they are in their life. In this self-help, Bible study you will find encouraging words and scripture for those who feel lost with no hope. MacDonald has written a book that is rich in scripture and deep in personal experience in order to help strengthen the readers relationship with God. A perfect addition to your library or a great gift for anyone who feels lost and needs to

As always with this author, this is a book written out of deep personal experience and a desire for the reader to deepen their relationship with God. This is weighty, but accessible and well written stuff, looking at the changes people make to ensure life with God is deepened as life goes on. This is done through the lens of a variety of Biblical characters; I think the best material is in the first half of the book, on Abraham.
Great read!
I really like Gordon’s writing style. He is clear, articulate and a captivating author. This book is is great resource for anyone looking to take their walk with Christ more seriously, or with looking for better clarity on God’s leading.
