October 20, 2008

Mick Turner
On several occasions I have mentioned the need for effective models in which one can gain a deeper understanding of the Christian faith in general and the sometimes complex aspects of the spiritual journey with Christ in particular.

April 8, 2008

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.
