I just read Soul Keeping by John Ortberg. It is a fabulous book. I love all his books anyway, but this one touched me to the core. I wish I could write with such charm and emotion without sounding like I’m using a language foreign to me. His books always strike a chord that’s literally like music your read into your soul.
