God Makes, We Shape.
Life is hard on the soul.
But God has supplied the means to experience spiritual vitality in all circumstances. The Lord calls us to join actively in shaping our spiritual lives. Like a wise parent, God nurtures our maturity by not doing all the work for us. We are given the privilege of cultivating a healthy life.
SoulShaping (Second Edition) presents a readily accessible approach to the broad repertoire of spiritual disciplines that have nurtured God’s people across the centuries so we can experience the abundant life Jesus died to make possible.
The book’s content consists of thee parts:
“Part One: From Soul Neglect to Spiritual Vitality” overviews the process of spiritual transformation,
including information on an assessment of a person’s soul condition, the five vital signs of a healthy soul, five
inadequate strategies for spiritual change, and the most energizing strategy of personal vision.
“Part Two: Pathways to Spiritual Vitality” presents a cluster of three spiritual disciplines to support each
of the five vital signs of a healthy soul. The overview of fifteen spiritual disciplines provides a broad
frame of reference for spiritual formation.
“Part Three: Walking Toward Spiritual Vitality” pulls together the information described in Parts One and
Two so readers can develop their personalized soul plans. Having diagnosed their spiritual condition and
learned about the resources for spiritual vitality, readers are introduced to the concepts of seasons of
the soul and soul-specific disciplines so they can discern a schedule of spiritual disciplines that works best
for them.
