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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e“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.” \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Brennan Manning\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e“Running On Empty \u003c\/i\u003eis more than a book title; it has become a way of life.
