“A comprehensive, inviting, and practical guide to spiritual formation.”
“Evan Howard has provided a concise 'systematic theology' of Christian spiritual formation in which the personal, corporate, and missional dimensions of the Christian life are closely interwoven. There are few works, if any, that match it in conciseness, practicality, and theological integrity. I highly recommend it.”
“An important introductory resource in spiritual formation for persons who are new to the field. Best of all, it is written by a seasoned veteran who practices the disciplines about which he writes.”
“In this welcome new book, Evan Howard sheds the light of his keen and enthusiastic intelligence on the fullness of Christian spirituality, including church history, theology, missional community, and especially the profound and mysterious relationship we each have with the One who made us, who knows our hearts, and who offers us life. What joy to find the wisdom of Howard's long vocation distilled into such a readable and helpful guide for us as we pray to Christ to 'know thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly, day by day.'”
