Synopsis

You Want It? You Got It!

Seeking satisfaction? Perhaps a little more money, a new car, a different job, less weight, or a place at the beach? Something that would make everything right with your world? Thank God that your ticket to satisfaction isn’t the attainment of whatever’s posted on your refrigerator. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,” Jesus said, “for they shall be satisfied” (Matthew 5:6). The means to incredible, abundant fulfillment comes through the unexpected catalyst known as godly character. In Satisfaction Guaranteed , Bill Ritchie guides you on a fulfilling pursuit of the character of Jesus. A one-of-a-kind assessment tool, available both in the book and online, helps you celebrate your progress!

Can’t Get No Satisfaction?

Everything on your “must have” list is checked off. But—help!—now it’s filling up again!

Why does fulfillment seem so slippery? Why can’t you get a lasting grip on it?

The secret to satisfaction is really no secret at all. It’s just completely contrary to everything you hear. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,” Jesus says, “for they shall be satisfied.” But what about that new car, house, computer, outfit, girlfriend, vacation…?

Inside the pages of this book, you will find the answer. With a refreshing outlook on the satisfaction that has eluded you, Bill Ritchie will help you: Identify the character qualities that make it happen Cultivate these qualities in your life Gauge your progress in realizing your heart’s desires

Every person on the planet has been designed for satisfaction. There is a way to find and keep it. Guaranteed.

“More than ever, people are searching for purpose and meaning in their lives. Bill is biblical yet culturally connected, and his book is just what the doctor ordered for anyone who wants to satisfy the deepest longing in their heart.”

“I’ve seen too many Christians who don’t know what it means to live the abundant, satisfying life that Jesus promised us. But Bill Ritchie does. I’m thrilled that Christians will use his book to draw near to God’s heart and develop God’s character in their lives.”

Story Behind the Book

“When studying godly character I realized two things. First, I knew more about my cholesterol than I did my character. What are the qualities of godly character, and how am I developing them in my life? Second, although our nation is putting millions of dollars into character education in schools, we aren’t seeing positive results. How can that be changed? There’s no way I can change a culture overnight, but I can help people understand and learn how to cultivate godly character one heart at a time. This book is the result of that quest.”

—Bill Ritchie
