Then he provides seven biblical, reality-tested ways to break through to the revolutionary life Christ meant for you.The combination of emotional health and contemplative spirituality, he says, unleashes the Holy Spirit inside us so that we might experientiallyknow the power of an authentic life in Christ.
Synopsis
A groundbreaking work on the integration of emotional health and contemplative spirituality that current models of discipleship fail to address.
Many sincere followers of Christ-followers who are really passionate for God, join a church, participate weekly in a small group, serve with their gifts, and are followers who are considered "mature"-remain stuck at a level of spiritual immaturity. And even more so when faced with interpersonal conflicts and crises.
Author Peter Scazzero unveils what's wrong with our conventional means of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works but seven powerful steps to transformation.
This strategy for discipleship will help readers mature into a faith filled with authenticity and a profound love for God.
