About this listen

Find your way through the mess to embrace the fulfilling life you've always dreamed of. Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge as he shares practical, simple, and refreshing tips with you for living fully.

How would you say you are doing these days?
Are you happy most of the time?
Do you feel deeply loved?
Are you excited about your future?
How often do you feel lighthearted?

These questions almost seem unfair. Life is so hard on all of us, rough on our humanity. We live in soul-scorching times. The mad pace of it all, the number of demands on our time and energy, and the overwhelming torrent of information coming at us 24-7 have left us all ragged, wrung-out, and emptied. This isn't the life we want, but how do we get off the roller coaster?

In Get Your Life Back, John Eldredge shows you how to move forward into the life you so desperately need. By incorporating a few simple practices—what John calls "graces"—you can begin to recover your soul, disentangle from the tragedies of this broken world, and discover the restorative power of beauty.

These simple practices are yours for the taking. You don't need to abandon your life to get it back--in fact, John shares that you can start restoring your life here and now. Get Your Life Back will give you the tools you need to:

  • Learn how to insert the One Minute Pause into your day
  • Begin practicing "benevolent detachment" and truly let it all go
  • Offer kindness toward yourself in the choices you make
  • Drink in the simple beauty available to you every day
  • Take realistic steps to unplug from technology overload

God wants to strengthen and renew your soul, and Jesus longs to give you more of himself. The world may be harsh, but God is gentle; he knows what your daily life is like. All we need to do is put ourselves in places that allow us to receive his help. You can live freely and lightly. Let Get Your Life Back show you how. Your soul will thank you for it.

I love to hear John narrate his own books, no one else could tell his story and his Union with God better.

The book is a wonderful resource and the One Minute Pause app is a great addition.
It is a good tool for practicing soul care. John delivers another home run on this and I loved that he also recorded the audio.
The additional audio at end of the chapters is also another good reason to pick up this audiobook

Simple practices that make a difference

This book is absolutely wonderful. His voice is so calming. You must get the pause app that goes along with this book. Both have helped me to focus more on Christ and my soul.

Life changing

The topics is timely (when is it not)? John's narration adds poignancy and heft to his words.

John shares his message with powerful visual and auditory references that bring the reader alongside whether on a river, over looking vast open plains, or crisp mountain mornings. He is humble in telling of his own reconnection and resets.

Obviously I needed to read this.I was moved to act... to stop swaths of the daily deluge clamoring for my attention. I carved significant margins into the remaining weeks of this year... and through out the entire year ahead. i opened space to reconnect with my soul more deeply than ever. The reward already outweighs the cost.

Welcomed respite

This book is so valuable in an era where distraction is constant. Here you learn how to rest, reset, and give yourself back to God, to return to the state of freedom we were all made for: full union with God. If you desire more peace in your spirit, and more connection to Jesus, this is worth your time.

Soul-changing read/listen

There was no better time in recent history for this book. Thank you, John and Ransomed Heart!

Timing!

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I listened to this book just after the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer and To Hell with the Hustle by Jefferson Bethke. All three come together and blend nicely to help us understand the truth of simplicity, ease and peace as being Jesus's practices and rhythms.

Beautiful way of easing us into union with God
