Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Practicing Faith and Faithfulness: An Introduction to Spiritual Formation invites readers into the lifelong journey of becoming more like Christ for the sake of the world. Written with pastoral warmth and theological depth, Mark A. Maddix explores spiritual formation not as self-improvement or religious performance, but as participation in the transforming life of the Triune God. Rooted in Scripture and enriched by the wisdom of the Christian tradition-from the Desert Fathers to contemporary spiritual guides-this book offers a holistic vision of formation that touches every dimension of life. Organized around four vital relationships-with God, with others, with self, and with creation-this introduction weaves together biblical reflection, historical insight, practical disciplines, and thoughtful engagement with justice, reconciliation, and ecological stewardship. Readers are guided through practices such as prayer, Sabbath, discernment, emotional healing, communal life, simplicity, and care for creation, discovering how these ancient rhythms shape both personal holiness and public witness. Designed for students, church leaders, and thoughtful Christians seeking depth, Practicing Faith and Faithfulness offers not merely information but invitation. It calls readers to live as beloved children of God, formed in community, attentive to the Spirit, and committed to the restoration of all creation-learning, day by day, to practice faith and faithfulness in a world longing for hope.
