M. Robert Mulholland Jr. defines spiritual formation as "the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others." Compact and solid, this definition encompasses the dynamics of a vital Christian life and counters our culture's tendency to make spirituality a trivial matter or reduce it to a private affair between "me and Jesus."
In Invitation to a Journey, Mulholland helps Christians new and old understand that we become like Christ gradually, not instantly. Not every personality is suited to an early morning quiet time, so Mulholland frees different personality types to express their piety differently. He reviews the classical spiritual disciplines and demonstrates the importance of undertaking our spiritual journey with (and for the sake of) others.
This road map for spiritual formation is profoundly biblical and down to earth. In the finest tradition of spiritual literature, it is a vital help to Christians at any stage of their journey.
In this revised and expanded edition, readers will find:
- Additions, revisions, and new foreword by Ruth Haley Barton,
- Spiritual practices for individual and group application, and
- A study guide to provide spiritual direction for groups seeking spiritual companionship for one another on the journey of transformation.
Ruth Haley Barton is founding president of the Transforming Center. Her books include Invitation to Solitude and Silence, Sacred Rhythms, Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership and Life Together in Christ.
M. Robert Mulholland Jr. (1936-2015) was emeritus professor of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. He was the author of several books, including Shaped by the Word and The Deeper Journey.
