Short review: I think the main content of Soul keeping is good, but I was a bit disappointed in the writing. The introduction especially seemed filled with cliches and bent over backward apologizing for why we need to pay attention to the soul. I guess that is needed in some circles but I thought it really distracted from the book. I like the idea of splitting the book between a tribute to Dallas Willard (who Ortberg looked on as a mentor and the inspiration for his own soul keeping) and the main focus on caring for our soul. But I think in reality, the split focus didn't do justice to either one.
Again, I think the main content was good and worth reading (especially if you pick it up on sale like I did, currently $2.99 on kindle). But it wasn't as good as I thought it should have been.
