Synopsis
What does a relationship with God look like and how do we obtain it? It is vital for church leaders to grapple seriously with this question, for pat answers no longer suffice. Lives well-lived, not just words eloquently spoken, must become our response. The quality of our relationship with God is what will influence the health, potency, and witness of the church in an increasingly complex and hostile world.Designed for use as a college or seminary course, Conformed to His Image helps us build our lives on a fully biblical perspective. Exploring twelve approaches to Christian spirituality in depth, Dr. Kenneth Boa corrects our tendency to pick and compartmentalize. Pointing the way instead to an integrative, whole-life approach, Dr. Boa shows how each spiritual paradigm discussed is just one important facet in the gem of authentic and powerful New Testament living.With chapter overviews and objectives, questions for personal application, a glossary, and a list of key terms, Conformed to His Image will prove a defining text for the student, pastor, and church leader of today . . . and tomorrow. 12 Facets of the Complete Christian LifeRelational Spirituality: Loving God Completely, Ourselves Correctly, and Others CompassionatelyParadigm Spirituality: Cultivating an Eternal versus a Temporal PerspectiveDisciplined Spirituality: Engaging in the Historical DifferencesExchanged Life Spirituality: Grasping Our True Identity in ChristMotivated Spirituality: A Set of Biblical IncentivesDevotional Spirituality: Falling in Love with GodHolistic Spirituality: Every Component of Life under the Lordship of ChristProcess Spirituality: Being versus Doing, Process versus ProductSpirit-Filled Spirituality: Walking in the Power of the SpiritWarfare Spirituality: The World, the Flesh, and the DevilNurturing Spirituality: A Lifestyle of Discipleship and EvangelismCorporate Spirituality: Encouragement, Accountability, and Worship

Synopsis
A practical, engaging, and devotional study of the various pathways to a deeper relationship with Christ In these postmodern times, there is a growing desire for an authentic spirituality that will touch our lives in meaningful and practical ways. The biblical vision of the spiritual life as a relationship with the living and personal Creator can satisfy this deep desire, but most accounts of this vision are fragmentary or one-sided. Conformed to His Image offers a comprehensive, balanced, and applicable approach to what it really means to know Christ. Rather than presenting one or two approaches, author Ken Boa provides an in-depth discussion of twelve pathways in the spiritual life and shows how each of these pathways contribute to the dynamic process of spiritual growth. With its systematic, synthetic, and broad-based approach to the spiritual life, Conformed to His Image draws readers into a deeper appreciation and desire to participate in the various facets of Christian spirituality.
Among the twelve facets of spiritual formation addressed are: * Relational spirituality: loving God completely, self correctly, and others compassionately * Exchanged Life spirituality: grasping our true identity in Christ * Process spirituality: being vs. doing; process vs. product * Warfare spirituality: the world, the flesh, and the devil * Corporate spirituality: encouragement, accountability, and worshipAbout the Author
