Synopsis

“A genuine treasure and superb work in spiritual formation.” — Richard J. Foster, author of Celebration of DisciplineFollowing in the tradition of Richard J. Foster’s A Celebration of Discipline and Dallas Willard’s Divine Conspiracy, the former president of Renovaré calls all Christians to recenter the Christian life around what has always been its core: following Jesus.“Change” is at the heart of Christian life. As Christians, we are called to be disciples of Jesus, to actively follow his teachings and become more like him. But the church has lost sight of what has always been its center, Christopher A. Hall argues. In A Different Way, he reminds us that faith is not meant to be merely rigid and static and so guides us back to Christianity’s spiritual foundation, helping us reconnect with Jesus and live the life he calls to live.Filled with personal stories that encourage introspection, thoughtful meditations on spiritual formation, and profound wisdom, A Different Way is an interactive book that encourages reflection through daily journaling and Bible passages to read and consider. With thoughtful introspection and Bible study, we can begin our spiritual journey of actively following the way Jesus teaches us to live.

Goodreads review by Neil

Spiritual formation is not yet too crowded but becoming a little congested in recent times. So compared to others works, what is Mr. Hall's point of difference? I would say that the point of difference for me was Mr. Hall's wide knowledge of the Desert Fathers and Ammas. In the first half is the mor......more

Goodreads review by Justin

Contained some helpful ideas, like the life review exercise suggested in Chapter 5 (“Keep in Step with Jesus in Your Gift of Years”). I wanted this book to resonate more than it did in actuality. I think the main reason it falls a bit flat is because it doesn’t have a very consistent through-line and......more
