Soul Custody calls listeners to pay attention to the state of their soul - and free it to thrive. Every day, inner and outer violence ravages the soul, leaving us weak, fearful, and malnourished. In Soul Custody, Stephen W. Smith presents eight choices to help listeners reclaim custody of their one and only life - choices about silence, community, vocation, honoring the body, finding one's true self, and more. As Smith reminds listeners, allowing God to shape the soul leads to the deep, full, and satisfying life that God had in mind all along. This is not a self-help book. It is not a book of easy steps to a happy life. It is an invitation to the life God dreams for each of His children. It is a call to start living - to let the soul wake up to life as God intended.
