Summary of John Ortberg's The Life You've Always Wanted

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I have a nagging sense that all is not as it should be. Some of this disappointment is trivial, some is neurotic, and some is the sour fruit of self-absorption. I am disappointed in my ordinariness.

#2 The feeling of disappointment is not the problem, but a reflection of a deeper problem: my failure to be the person God had in mind when he created me. It is the pearly ache in my heart to be at home with the Father.

#3 The most profound statement I have ever heard about the human condition was made by Popeye the Sailor Man, a character from the 1980s comic book series. When he was frustrated or didn’t know what to do, he would say, I am what I am.

#4 The goal of this book is to help you grow spiritually. But it is difficult to write about spiritual growth in a way that captures the urgency of the subject. Too many people think about their spiritual lives as just another aspect of their existence, separate from their financial lives or vocational lives.
