About this listen

The Me I Want to Be will help you discover spiritual vitality like never before as you learn to "live in the flow of the spirit."

Why does spiritual growth seem so difficult?

God's vision for your life is not just that you are saved by grace, but that you also learn to live by grace, flourishing with the Spirit flowing through you. And this book will show how God's perfect vision for you starts with a powerful promise: All those who trust in God "will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit" (Jeremiah 17:7-8).

Pastor and bestselling author John Ortberg first helps gauge your spiritual health and measure the gap between where you are now and where God intends you to be. Then he provides detailed tasks and exercises to help you live in the flow of the Spirit, circumventing real-world barriers--pain and sorrow, temptations, self-doubt, sin--to flourish even in a dark and broken world.

As you start living in the flow, you will feel:

  • a deeper connection with God
  • a growing sense of joy
  • an honest recognition of your brokenness
  • less fear, and more trust
  • a growing sense of being "rooted in love"
  • and a deeper sense of purpose.

God invites you to join Him in crafting an abundant and joy-filled life. The Me I Want to Be shows you how to graciously accept His invitation.

Spanish edition also available, as well as a video study and study guide.

I have completed this audio book for the umpteenth time and each time it gets "gooder and gooder"
I found the style of writing is attractive.. I felt the author got the balance right between theologiy narrative and scriptural application. I found the book easy to understand and deeply profound. Highly readable. If it is possible to choose a highlight of the book it would be the forgiveness theme when 3 soon to be missionaries and the witnessing audience experience forgiveness. That blew me away. Also the section in which the author grappled with the dilemma of the church being a place for confessing sin rather than hiding sin under a veneer .
I am likely to reread many many more times as I seek to be " the me God wants me to be"

Stimulating; provocative heart - warming
