An introduction to spiritual formation

The Sunday Pages is a weekly newsletter for paid subscribers that rounds up five interesting links for the week, recommends a book with highlights of about a dozen meaningful quotes from the book, and includes occasional updates on personal projects.

I’ve been writing more about spiritual formation lately. To me, spiritual formation and deconstruction—while they may or may not seem like it—go hand-in-hand. I’m still very much in the process of learning and understanding more about spiritual formation. I seems like, right now, many of the assumptions I’ve held for the last several years are being challenged. In a good way. Not that I’ve been entirely wrong, but my views are being sharpened and refined. It’s a good thing. I want to constantly be deepening my understanding.

This book served as such a helpful intro for me (no, it’s not John Mark Comer). After I read The Holy Longing by Ronald Rolheiser (which I’m sure I’ll feature on here in the future), I finished it wishing there was a Protestant version of that book. This book is the closest I’ve found to it so far.
