A Short Guide to Spiritual Formation

Christian Living

“Spiritual formation with substance and depth! Alex 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. Anyone who’s sung the Augustinian cri de coeur of Bono’s ‘I still haven’t found what I’m looking for’ but found the modern spiritual formation literature too light and fluffy will be glad for this winsome retrieval of classical theology in service to a practice of discipleship that can take shape in real communities. This is one to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest and then share with another pilgrim on the way of the restless heart.”

Practicing Life Together

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“There are many decent proposals out there advocating for a 'rule of life'—and for good reason: we desperately need them, especially in our anxious, unruled, and rootless age. But Paul Gutacker offers us here something even better: a ruled life in the context of thick spiritual community and deep theological formation. A rule of life, as Gutacker frames it, is no self-help program for solo artists but a sturdy structure founded on the pillars of common prayer, table fellowship, theological study, and vocational discernment. What is more: it really works. This book is written both from careful attention to the Christian tradition and from years of experience working with young adults who have seen real and enduring spiritual growth.”
