A book that challenged and transformed countless Christians by raising the groundbreaking question of “order of the inner world.”
This book, which emphasizes order in the inner world as a fundamental solution to a life of being chased, has been a steady seller in Korea, selling approximately 400,000 copies since its first edition in 1990.
This expanded and revised edition reflects on his 78-year life, adding more personal and autobiographical content to offer deeper insights along with the intimate stories of a spiritual master.

This is what I heard from John (and Isaiah):
“If you have a desire to experience God’s order in your life, you must begin with your innermost self, your heart or soul, which I would call your inner world.”

Our inner world is essentially a more spiritual realm.
This world is a center where choices and values ​​are determined, a place where solitude and reflection must be pursued.
It is a place where worship and confession of faith are held, and where the moral and spiritual pollution of the world must not infiltrate.

I believe that one of the most intense battlefields of our time is the inner world of the individual.
Especially those who believe themselves to be practical, obedient, and followers of Christ must fight this battle.
Among them, there are many who work hard and shoulder heavy responsibilities at home, at work, and at church.
They're good people, but they're so exhausted! That's why they're often at risk of sinkhole-like collapse.
Why is that?… Because we have lived our lives focusing only on the public world, ignoring our inner world for too long.

He created us to live best when we direct our inner world toward the outer world.

"You want a new calling? Now you understand. Spend the rest of your life being a father to young people seeking the Father's voice." I've been living that calling for the past few years.
It is one of the most amazing callings an older person can receive.
'Don't compete.
Don't bore people with stories they don't want to hear.
Don't brag about your past.
Just be ready to listen, encourage, strengthen, offer your opinion (when asked), and pray for those seeking your blessing.'

Those who organize their inner spiritual world create a space for God to come and speak.
And that voice will be unlike any voice you have ever heard.

If we neglect to cultivate the garden of our inner world, it will soon become overgrown with all sorts of bushes, becoming a place that not only the Lord who gives us life but even we ourselves find unwelcome.
If you ignore it for too long, it will become a garbage dump rather than a garden.
If that happens, we will have no choice but to look to external sources for the strength and sense of direction we need to move forward.

As I prepared for surgery, I prayed to God to give me three clear words that I needed to maintain order in my inner world.
Those words came to my mind a day or two before the surgery.
The words seemed to rush into my mind and immediately take effect.
It was courage, gratitude, and depth.
