a great resource

One of our students has been reading the book Metamorpha by Kyle Strobel. The subtitle is Jesus as a Way of Life. I was curious in the book, as I had just recently finished another book by one of my favorite authors, Eugene Peterson, called The Jesus Way. And, I am very interested in what is often called spiritual theology, spiritual formation, and looking at the Christian life as a journey rather than a destination.

Well, the book is pretty good. If you really want to just read a book in this line, I recommend Eugene Peterson, and the spiritual theology series he is working on: Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places, Eat this Book, and The Jesus Way, with two more on the way.

However, Metamorpha has become an online hub of resources for spiritual formation: www.metamorpha.com and there is an excellent guide for discussion to be used in 1:1 mentoring or in small group settings at the book's website www.jesusasawayoflife.com and it is tied in with the resources at the other site.



If you are interested in growing in Christ, and/or helping others do the same, and are ready to do more than simply teach information, take a look at this book and the websites. It's a great, so far, entry-level spiritual theology/spiritual formation book.
