The Me I Want to Be

by John Ortberg

Spiritual formation as becoming your best self, not someone else's: 'flow' in the spiritual life, the signature sins, the role of the mind, time, experience and people. Ortberg's warmest and most practical formation book.

Three things you will actually use

  1. God wants the best version of you, not a copy of someone else.
  2. Your signature sin is your strength twisted.
  3. Flow with the Spirit.

Your best self, formed.
