The heart of Christianity is about transformation -- about a God who isn't just concerned with our `spiritual lives,` but who wants to impact every aspect of living. It's realizing that God meets us not in a monastery but on Main Street and that all of ordinary, daily life has the potential to be lived as if Jesus himself were the one living it. Offering modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines, The life you've always wanted guides us on a journey beyond performance and externalism to a life marked by joy, peace, kindness, and all the signs of a faith that's vital and growing. Now with an added chapter on prayer, this expanded edition of the ECPA best-seller offers an encouraging and challenging approach to a Christian life that's worth living -- life on the edge that fills our ordinary world with meaning, hope, change, and growing closeness with Christ.
