Ordering Your Private World

Written by Gordon MacDonald

Narrated by Maurice England

Does your life feel cluttered? Maybe an overcrowded calendar isn't your only problem! In this updated classic, learn how our technology-focused generation can deal with stress and find balance in life by submitting to God in five areas: motivation, priorities, intellect, spiritual growth, and rest.

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?

In Ordering Your Private World, Gordon MacDonald equips you to live life from the inside out, cultivating the inner victory necessary for effectiveness. Simplifying your external life begins with seeking internal order. In addition to focusing on spiritual and mental disciplines, you’ll discover:

• The difference between being driven and being called
• The lifelong pursuit of the growth of the mind
• The importance of being a listener and reader
• How to exercise your soul to keep it in good shape

Our culture encourages us to believe that the busy, publicly active person is also the most spiritual. Our massive responsibilities at home, work, and church have resulted in many of us on the verge of collapse. Learn to take a step back from the outer world and deal with the stress of life by developing your inner world: your soul.

Wow, what a book. So honest and transparent, while teaching the truth of Gods word. I've learned that God at the center makes a christian the most effective!

Highly recommended to me...and one I will be passing on in recommendation. I hope I can honour the author and my God and Saviour, by putting into practice what I have learnt.

Two things for me: I thought the narrator was outstanding. He brought a “weight” to the content. And the content itself speaks to our opportunities to be our best selves. I read this book several years ago. Now I’ve listen to it twice. I need people like this to listen to.

I am doing this book the third time simply because the Wisdom Nuggets in it continue to glitter. Pick up this jewel before you face dark experiences.

I bookmarked several pages because they had practical tips on how to help my over active mind to settle down to concentrate
