Soul Custody: Choosing to Care for the One and Only You

Soul Custody calls readers 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 readers reclaim custody of their one and only life-choices about silence, community, vocation, honoring the body, finding one’s true self, and more.

It is a call to start living-to let the soul wake up to life as God intended.Review“Soul Custody is a clarion call - a prophetic call to do something significant with your life before it’s too late.

I highly recommend it.”Gary Chapman, Ph.D.Author of The Five Love Languages and Love as a Way of Life“A great, refreshing read! Soul Custody gives us the permission to live intentional lives, where we let God care for us even as we care for others. I wish I’d had it in my hands years ago.
