  Is there really any hope for a spiritual way of living that actually works?

  Admiration, comfort, love, power, success, pleasure, escape, control: we’re all addicted to something, whether we realize it or not.

  In this deeply heartfelt book, author John Ortberg offers a guide for transformation when we know something needs to change but we can’t do it on our own. Rooted in the teachings of Jesus and using the framework of AAs 12 steps as a guide, Ortberg offers all of us a freeing roadmap for:

  *Giving up our exhausting and fruitless efforts to fix, manage, and control our own lives
  *Distinguishing between when willpower is essential and when it is futile
  *Discovering how God can do for us what we can’t do for ourselves, and
  *living authentically, joyfully and in communion with God and other people.

  Ortberg shows us how to discover:

  *Our spiritual attachment styles
  *Our core doubts
  *The benefits of practices like prayer, meditation, and mindfulness
  *God’s sufficiency in our inadequacy

  In Steps, find what’s needed to experience a new freedom, a new fellowship and a new happiness no matter our circumstances.

  Eternity Is Now In Session

  $17.99

  Something in us is waiting-for what, we don’t know. Something different? Something better?

  For Christians, perhaps the deepest expression of what we’re waiting for is found in the phrase “eternal life.” But what is eternal life? Why do we want it? And how do we know if we have it?

  In Eternity Is Now in Session, bestselling author John Ortberg dispels the myth that eternal life is something way out in outer space that we can only hope to experience after we die-and that being saved is merely about meeting the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven. Instead, John unpacks the reality that the moment we trust Christ, we are initiated into “eternal living” with God as a here and now reality, one that will continue beyond our life on this earth.

  Jesus defined eternal life just once, in John 17:3: “. . . that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” The kind of “knowing God” that is eternal life is an interactive relationship, not just an affirmation of certain facts about God. Once we begin the transformative journey of truly knowing God, we can start to experience His presence, favor, and resurrection power right here on this earth-in the details, tasks, and challenges of daily, ordinary life.

  And as we begin to know God this way, we’ll realize each moment of our lives is a vehicle to the eternity we’ve been longing for all along.
