Running on Empty - Fil Anderson

Learn to live with God instead of for God.In this candid and achingly authentic book, Fil Anderson shares the healing insights that restored his spiritual compass and guided him back to God--the God who specializes in filling empty souls.

Fil Anderson had accomplished
more for God than most of his contemporaries, but his worn-out body housed an empty
soul. His frenetic pace of ministry had earned him just one thing: greater pressure
to do even more. He had fallen for the soul-killing lie that doing more for God would
give his life meaning. Then the godly admonition of a spiritual director set this
burned-out believer on a life-saving spiritual path. Sometimes the only way to get a new life is by running your old one completely into the ground.

This powerful story of a reawakened
soul can be the story of every person who has pursued spiritual productivity over
intimacy with God and come up empty. It's the story of reclaiming your soul and finding
a home in the center of God's relentless love. It's the journey from self-importance
to God-importance.

"To the harried and the unharried, I pray that this book will minister
to your heart in the profound way that it has blessed mine." -Brennan Manning
