Here are some thoughts from Ortberg's introduction:

 

"If you have ever been frustrated with the state of your spiritual life.  If you've ever wondered why spiritual growth seems to go so slowly.  If you've ever wondered if real change is possible.  If you've ever felt confused or stuck in your spiritual life--you're my kind of person.  I've struggled (and still do struggle) with those same things.  But I've also discovered that it is possible to live the life I've always wanted to live.  The Christian gospel insists that the transformation of the human personality really is possible.  it is never easy.  It is rarely quick.  But it is possible.  I see it happening in people sometimes--occasionally even in myself.  It happens any time people become intensely serious about learning from Jesus how to arrange their lives.  It happens anytime people set their focus on learning to live as Jesus woul live if he were in their place...my hope is that you will accept Christ's invitation to live life his way because it truly is the life you've always wanted."

Ortberg's book is addressed to people who live busy lives in a world of busy schedules, academic ambitions, job issues, pop culture, video games, and the onslaught of media.  In other words, it meets people like you and me who live in 2012.  We will dig into scripture together and learn how it focuses our minds and hearts in transformation.

You are invited--anyone who is frustrated, too busy, a slow starter, or indifferent--to live a transformed, intentional Jesus' life (the life you've really wanted).  We invite you to come to dinner from 5:30 to 6:16 on Wednesday nights and then join this class as we grow together.  (Books are available.)
