Product Description
With a new chapter and study guide questions, this expanded edition presents readers with what it means to live as Jesus would on a day-to-day basis--one filled with new meaning, hope, change, and a joyous, growing closeness to Christ.

From the Back Cover
You Can Live a Deeper, More Spiritual Life Right Where You Are.

An expanded edition with a new chapter on prayer and discussion questions

The heart of Christianity is transformationa relationship with God that impacts not just our spiritual lives, but every aspect of living. John Ortberg calls readers back to the dynamic heartbeat of ChristianityGods power to bring change and growthand reveals both the how and why of transformation.

With a new chapter on prayer and added discussion questions, this expanded edition of The Life Youve Always Wanted offers modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines. But this is more than just a book about things to do to be a good Christian. Its a road map toward true transformation that starts not with the individual but with the object of the journeyJesus Christ.

As with a marathon runner, the secret to winning the race lies not in trying harder, but in training consistentlytraining with the spiritual disciplines. The disciplines are neither taskmasters nor an end in themselves. Rather they are exercises that build strength and endurance for the road of growth. The fruit of the Spiritjoy, peace, kindness, etc.are the signposts along the way.

Paved with humor and sparkling anecdotes, The Life Youve Always Wanted is an encouraging and challenging approach to a Christian life thats worth livinga life on the edge that fills an ordinary world with new meaning, hope, change, and joy.
