I did not know a great deal about spiritual formation before
reading this book and I was intrigued to read about the stages in one’s spiritual
journey. There are five stages in the soul’s journey toward wholeness: Our First Love – Called into Saving Faith;
Obedient Love – Learning the Ways of Godliness; Persevering Love – Invitation to
Intimacy; Sacrificial Love – Living for the Kingdom Here and Now; and Intimate
Love – Being Light and Love for the World. After each chapter, there is a summary
of the information discussed along with questions for personal reflection. Also there is an epilogue demonstrating how
the soul stages journey can be lived out in a church setting.
This is a book to read thoughtfully and slowly. I think this
is a book I will go back to again and again to see where I am at in my own
spiritual journey. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to go
deeper in their relationship with God.
I received this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for
this honest review.
