There is an increased interest in spirituality in our world today. People have a deep hunger and thirst for the transcendent. In Spiritual Formation, Mark Maddix and Diane LeClerc, along with their cowriters, approach Christian spiritual formation from a Wesleyan perspective. Their goal is clear—to help faithful disciples grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. The writers explain that spiritual formation is about the transformation of people into, what C. S. Lewis calls, "little Christs." Central to this book's message is the understanding that people grow in Christlikeness by participating in the means of grace—Scripture reading, the sacraments, and other spiritual disciplines. Guidance in matters such as self-care, spiritual direction, and mentoring are included, along with practical guidelines for adolescents, families, and college students.
