You don't need to abandon your life to get it back. You can restore it with sustainable practices that are within your reach. And you will never be the same...

We live in soul-scorching times. The 24-7 onslaught of contemporary life—with its never-ending feed of global tragedies, demands for our attention, and pressures of work, family, and friends—has left us feeling ragged, wrung-out, and emptied. But if we have no margin in our lives, how do we find room to change anything?

In this life-changing video Bible study (DVD/digital downloads sold separately), John Eldredge distills a lifetime of wisdom into five practical and ready-to-implement practices for putting your life back together:

  1. The one-minute pause
  2. Benevolent detachment
  3. Practicing kindness
  4. Getting outside
  5. Stepping back from technology

Together, these simple practices will enable you to begin recovery, care for the neglected places in your soul, and rediscover the hidden life of God in you.

Rest assured, the graces offered in this study are within reach of normal life. They're practicable and refreshing. God wants to come to us and restore our lives. We just need to put ourselves in places that allow us to receive his help.

Designed for use with Get Your Life Back Video Study (sold separately).
