This book shows that theology is both integrally related to formation in Jesus Christ and shapes our understanding of the world. Christian formation is incomplete and impossible without theological formation, because Christ transforms our hearts and minds, attuning them to the reality of God. As the authors explore the deep connections between theology and the life of the Christian, they emphasize Christian formation as a defining feature of the church, arguing that theology must be integrally connected to the church's traditions and practices.

This volume discusses the importance of a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach to Christian formation based upon godly love and the imago Dei (Latin, image of God). Grounded biblically and theologically, this interdisciplinary collection offers perspectives drawn from spirituality, ethics, philosophy, psychology, counselling, ecclesiology, physical health sciences, and leadership studies. Contributors address spiritual, emotional, and psychological formation, while highlighting how suffering has the potential to draw one closer to God and others. The book also details vocational development, appropriate stewardship of the physical body, and the ways in which the Eucharist sacramentally contributes to the process of formation. The book concludes with a call for further exploration of additional research trajectories, not the least of which is how Christian formation contributes to the missio Dei, the mission of God.

Worship Formation provides a thoughtful perspective on Christian worship and addresses how each element within a worship service spiritually forms the worshiper. Brooks challenges the reader toward an understanding that worshiping through music, prayer, Scripture reading, Communion, sermon, stillness, giving, and baptism engages the worshiper in spiritual formation. Worship Formation encourages the worshiper to not just go through the motions when they gather for worship, but to realize that they are being formed through each element of worship, and challenges those in leadership to be thoughtful in their approach to planning and leading worship services.

Every day, we are being formed by what we consume and engage. From social media to the latest Netflix binge, our minds are being led by what we ingest with our eyes. Yet, the call of the Christian is this: to be conformed to Christ. The work of Christian formation is an exercise in surrender of the whole self, dwelling in God's Word and allowing Him to shape and mold His people. In this book, you'll find: · A call to recover truth, goodness, and beauty in the work of formation · A clear presentation of key doctrines and the work of "getting it right" for rich Christian formation · Practical guidance on developing a culture of formation within your church · A call to a deepened commitment to formation through embracing humility, cultivating friendship, and pursuing a vibrant spiritual life

Although there is nothing sweeter than the Gospel, there is more sweetness to be enjoyed after ones conversion to Christ. Many Christians fail to experience transformation in the discovery of Gods call on their lives in the areas of work, family, and service. Even the idea of calling has been relegated to full-time vocational service, leaving out the other 90% of Gods people. What if we could overcome the major obstacles to joyful fulfillment in our callings to Christ? What about the importance of being called to an ordinary place that counts for eternity? What if we begin to live out of the heart God gave us rather than the demands and expectations of others we had not considered are ruling us in negative ways? Dr. Bob Smart walks his readers through the practical steps to owning Gods calling of us in all areas of life, which promises to lead to freedom and meaningful living in this second season of spiritual formation. This is the second book of four seasons of spiritual formation.

Perhaps we don't always think of our life as having a "shape." But the life of Jesus certainly had a shape, and we are called to imitate him. Paul's letter to the Philippians presents us with this call in many ways: encouragements and exhortations toward faithfulness, personal examples, and a rich theology of the cross. This book is a mediation on the call of Philippians to embrace God's gift of a Christ-shaped life. Such a life is both an unshakable promise of God which defines our destiny and a personal responsibility to be embraced each day. In this book, you are invited to ponder the desires of your heart and to lay them at the feet of our Lord, who alone is worthy of our desire and who alone can reshape our hearts after the image of his own. Here we find that the process of being formed after the image of Christ is not only a matter of supreme importance, but also of overwhelming joy, in which we learn the delight of singing with Christ the great song of self-giving love.
