Every now and then I run across a book that is written in an engaging style while, at the same time, carries forward a message that is both timely and thought-provoking. David Foster’s A Renegade’s Guide to God is such a book and I want to highly recommend it to any Christian that seeks [...]

I thought I might use a bit of blog space here to list just a few of the books that I believe would be helpful reading for Christians interested in learning more about spiritual formation in general and spiritual disciplines in particular.
