Active Spirituality: A Guide for Seekers and Ministers

Here is a practical guidebook for both the inquiring lay person who wants a holistic, intelligent look at the spiritual life and the pastor or religious professional seeking a systematic framework and spiritual practices to reignite the flame of faith. Groff provides ordinary Christians a way to understand what it means to believe and what to do after you say you believe--through a unique integration of spirituality and service, heart and mind, and various faith traditions. You won't just read about spirituality, but will explore five spiritual disciplines (community, solitude, learning, service, and vocation) in creative and profound ways using prayer exercises for groups or individuals. A spiritual self-assessment tool for individuals or congregations adds to the value of this important resource for spiritual development.
