Summary: Life-changing book that you will want to read again & again
Comment: Other than the Bible, Ordering Your Private World has been the most influential book on my life and I read it (or reread favorite parts) at least once per year. All five sections of this book have influenced my life for the better: motivation, use of time, wisdom and knowledge, spiritual strength, and restoration. MacDonald starts out by dealing with our motivation in how we use our time. He contrasts the life of the driven person with the life of the person who is called - and share distinct things about their life that you will notice. For example, a driven person is preoccupied with acquiring the symbols of accomplishment - while the called person focuses on good stewardship of what they have. Once MacDonald deals with the differences between being driven & called, he deals with the use of time and shares some symptoms of poor time management. One of the most practical sections of the book, "MacDonald's Laws of Unseized Time" follows these symptoms - as the reader is shown how to budget their time for good use. Once that you see how to recapture the use of your time and control it - Gordon then discusses the last three sections - on wisdom and knowledge, spiritual strength, and restoration. One of my favorite parts of this book - are the memos that are at the beginning of every chapter. I will close with this one: "If my private world is in order, it will be because I am convinced that the inner world of the spiritual must govern the outer world of activity."

Summary: Excellent and Thought-Provoking Book!
Comment: Ordering Your Private World will challenge you to think and evaluate the direction of your life and how easily you let outward circumstances disturb your inner life.
Among the principles MacDonald covers are:
1. Busyness is not always of God.
2. Driven people focus on the external while ignoring the private world.
3. We must not let busyness upset us or cause us to neglect the inner life.
4. The importance of solitude and time alone with God.
5. Jesus used His time wisely.
6. The characteristics of a called person.
7. Specific steps and encouragement to discipline the mind.
8. The importance of prayer and intercession for others.
Be encouraged and challenged to evaluate your relationship with God and see what happens!
All in all, a highly recommended read!

Summary: Great read
Comment: This book changed my life - it targeted areas that I and many others I know could use much help in. The author does a great job showing the reader why many have great lives on the outside (money, family, success, etc) but feel that something is missing on the inside. I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels they are building their life on a foundation of sand, but want to know what to do to build on solid rock.
