Synopsis:

In this resource, available for the first time in paperback, twenty-five church leaders explore spiritual formation in the light of history; through specific acts of liturgy, public worship, and prayer; and in different age groups. The editors explain their purpose in the introduction, "We offer this volume as an alternative to a humanistic education which has robbed some churches of the ability to transform believers. We want to assist congregations in producing the kind of people who can witness to the world through both their words and the depth of their being. Our hope is that it will be used to educate and nurture believers in the process of spiritual formation."
