Spirituality is a buzzword on the current church scene in North America. A plethora of books exist that one could read in order to be enlightened in the methods of becoming more “spiritual” but not necessarily more Christlike. Sadly, many of these methods are less about Christianity than about spirituality. From labyrinth walking to mind-emptying meditation, these methods recall that telling biblical text in Judges: “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judg 21:25b).
Since first publishing his work Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, Donald S. Whitney has sought to redeem this field of spirituality—in some ways a menagerie!...

About The Spirit of Holiness: Reflections on Biblical SpiritualityWhat does Biblical spirituality look like? What does it mean to be “spiritual”? What priorities and practices inspire one to live the Christian life well? While there are a multitude of answers to these questions, very rarely are they both clear and profound. As a result, Christians can be left feeling lost and confused. In The Spirit of Holiness, Terry Delaney and Roger Duke have collected a variety of reflections on spirituality that are shaped by the Bible, theology, and the voices and examples of those who have come before us. With authors like Al Mohler, Michael Haykin, and Steve Lawson covering topics such as perseverance, depression, friendship, choice, and faith, The Spirit of Holiness encourages and directs Christians to a healthy biblical spirituality informed by their forebears of the faith. |
