About this listen

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.

MacDonald stresses the need for the nurture of the spiritual life. His own experience, practical wisdom, Biblical examples, and the words of Christian leaders of the past are mined to show the necessity of being deliberate to achieve spiritual growth.

The sections most relevant to me related to journaling and Bible memorisation.

Challenging and helpful
