Author’s recommendation: For this reflection-oriented guidebook, I personally prefer the appearance and reading experience of the paperback and spiral-bound versions.
Do you long for more in life and faith?
Perhaps a clearer sense of identity and purpose, a more resilient peace, or a deeper awareness of God’s loving presence and participation? You may sense a beckoning of something—or Someone—just beyond your reach and experience. Or you may be struggling to break free of harmful habits or to discern how best to follow Christ amid the tensions of current culture.
If so, this Spirit‑engaging guidebook offers a path
toward the life you were created for
—a life whole, free, and deeply alive in Christ. You are invited into that larger, truer life where Christ’s presence embraces you, His peace anchors you, and His purpose calls you forward. Drawing deeply on Scripture and on the wisdom of devotional writers across the centuries, this book offers insights and practical guidance for your formation journey. Through honest, Spirit-led exploration and reflection, you’ll identify what holds you back and apply ageless truths and practices that open you more fully to Christ’s transforming presence. Life fully in Christ—freed from the pull of self—restores your soul and equips you to reflect His love and truth in a world aching for both.
A life of flourishing in Christ may be closer than you imagine.

The Changing Orbits from Self to Christ Companion Journal provides dedicated space for engaging the spiritual formation journey introduced in Changing Orbits from Self to Christ: A Pilgrim’s Guide to Deeper Life in Christ. Designed for thoughtful reflection and deeper integration, this resource brings forward the reflection and application prompts from the guidebook in a journaling‑friendly format. After each set of prompts, lined writing space is provided for recording insights, responses, and key takeaways as readers progress through the guidebook.
“In Changing Orbits, Wallem points the reader not to a shallow discipleship, but a life entirely submitted to Christ. Beginning with our longing and desire for more, he describes the problem holding us back (“self-life orbit”), describes the goal (“Christ-life orbit”), and outlines a plan of escape. But while so many Christian materials end there, Changing Orbits keep diving deeper into the nuts and bolts of what it means to practically and entirely rewire our lives in orbits around Christ and not ourselves.”
Catherine McNiel, chaplain and author of Mid-Faith Crisis: Finding a Path through Doubt, Disillusionment, and Dead Ends
