Grace Rediscovered

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Ben Gosden has written a bold and courageous book that will help you in your spiritual growth. You will find in Gosden’s writing an invitation to the deep work of transformation. He’s done the hard work himself. His gift to us is that in Grace Rediscovered he describes the journey and serves as a trusted guide that models the way forward for the rest of us. Read it. Digest it. Live it. You’ll be glad you did. Highly recommend.”

Rhythms for Life

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“I've known Alastair Sterne for over a decade now. From our initial introduction in one of my courses, he stood out as a deeply formed and committed disciple of Jesus. We connected over our shared interest in church planting and missional engagement. This book shows the 'secret sauce' that allows Alastair to remain a deeply formed and committed disciple of Jesus. Better yet, he points the way for all of us. Rhythms for Life is not simply another book on spiritual formation. There are plenty of those. This is a field manual that all God's people can follow to set themselves up for long-term growth in God's grace. Alastair writes with theological and biblical depth in a fully accessible manner for our post-Christendom contexts. He begins with the critical need to uncover our true identity in Christ and then moves to the crafting of a personal rule of life. I found the worksheets and exercises to flow seamlessly from the teaching and to be profoundly enriching. In short, Alastair introduces the great tradition of spiritual formation for a new generation. I hope this book becomes a classic with a long shelf life. I know that my soul has been warmed anew while reading this and working through the exercises.”
