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?

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.

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.
