Great for spiritual formation

Wonderful guide to christian spiritual maturity. Each chapter includes reflection questions to guide one's thinking and to help apply the insights the author gives. The book is in 3 parts: Vocation, which talks about the movement from child to disciple to steward; virtue, which talks about the new virtues of power, intimacy, and imagination; and a third section called "power and intimacy" which explores the virtues more deeply in regards to strength, obedience, and a somewhat out-of-place section on women and men in the church, but which is kind of the "power and intimacy" in practical action.
