Weaving together church history, theology, and devotional practice, this introductory guide to spiritual formation retrieves the traditions rooted in truth, goodness, beauty, and community to help readers follow the way of Jesus. "Spiritual formation with substance and depth! Sosler gives a thick account of Christian growth in holiness and wholeness shaped by a biblical-theological-ecclesial vision of truth, goodness, beauty, and community. This is one to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest and then share with another pilgrim on the way of the restless heart."--Alex Fogleman, Institute for Studies of Religion, Baylor University; director, Catechesis Institute; author of Knowledge, Faith, and Early Christian Initiation"This fresh account of Christian spiritual formation will captivate students and seekers while reminding seasoned leaders of the many gifts that the Christian tradition offers to our weary souls."--Kaitlyn Schiess, author of The Ballot and the Bible: How Scripture Has Been Used and Abused in American Politics and Where We Go from Here"A great help to anyone interested in personal and corporate spiritual formation. Sosler does a masterful job of describing the historical, theological, and spiritual foundations of the Christian faith, and in doing so he invites the reader into a deeper relationship with God. This text is well worth your time."--Donald Shepson, Grove City College"Sosler provides readers with a theological, historical, contemplative, and applicable approach to living life from a formative perspective. He is passionate about the well-being of God's creation and implementing practices designed to educate, empower, and equip the learner."--Barbara L. Peacock, Peacock Soul Care"You will not leave this short book burdened down with a sense of all the things you can't ever seem to do. You'll instead start to see the possibility of how you, in your own life, can seek holiness and formation."--Russell Moore (from the foreword)
