Conformed to His Image: Biblical and Practical Approaches to Spiritual Formation
ByPublisher Description
What does a relationship with God look like and how do we obtain it? It is vital for church leaders to grapple seriously with this question, for pat answers no longer suffice. Lives well-lived, not just words eloquently spoken, must become our response. The quality of our relationship with God is what will influence the health, potency, and witness of the church in an increasingly complex and hostile world.
Designed for use as a college or seminary course, Conformed to His Image helps us build our lives on a fully biblical perspective. Exploring twelve approaches to Christian spirituality in depth, Dr. Kenneth Boa corrects our tendency to pick and compartmentalize. Pointing the way instead to an integrative, whole-life approach, Dr. Boa shows how each spiritual paradigm discussed is just one important facet in the gem of authentic and powerful New Testament living.
With chapter overviews and objectives, questions for personal application, a glossary, and a list of key terms, Conformed to His Image will prove a defining text for the student, pastor, and church leader of today . . . and tomorrow.

3.5
“A good resource for a deep dive into spiritual formation, if a bit academic and wordy. I found authors Ruth Haley Barton and M. Robert Mulholland more interesting and easier to follow than Kenneth Boa. Conformed to His Image reads like a textbook, which it is, and will continue to be a resource for future reference.”
