Soul Keeping

by John Ortberg

Ortberg's tribute to Dallas Willard and a book on the soul: what it is, what it needs (rest, satisfaction, freedom, blessing), and how it is lost through hurry. Personal and moving.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Ruthlessly eliminate hurry.
  2. The soul needs rest, not just the body.
  3. Care for the soul first; the rest follows.

Do this first

Read the chapter on the soul and hurry.

Our verdict

Willard, through Ortberg.
