"Mindy Caliguire knows and cares about the deep things of the soul.
She's been there. And she can be a wise guide here for you," says
John Ortberg, author of The Life You've Always Wanted. We are
tired. Many of us long for sources of nurture for our weary souls.
But we don't know where to turn. We've tried various Christian
plans for growth, yet sometimes these programs leave us even more
drained and frustrated. Interestingly, the answer can be found in
our everyday lives: ordinary relationships can restore life and
health to our depleted souls. So why do we resist intimacy with
others if it's part of our soul's architecture? Because people also
cause us pain. Soul Care Resources are designed to be simple, but
not simplistic, guides to maintaining or recovering the life and
health of your soul. Spiritual Friendship introduces you to
principles of friendship that bring focus to your spiritual life.
You'll discover what it takes to have a rich, God-centered
relationship that will nourish your soul. You use this book in
small chunks of daily reading, covering the whole book in the
course of four weeks. Also included are four guided group
discussions for use with a small group or a spiritual friend. Also
available in the Soul Care Resources series is Discovering Soul
Care, an introduction to the resources for spiritual health we have
in Christ. Are you ready to recover your reserves?
In the past, church leaders have turned to small groups or other
kinds of discipleship programs to encourage spiritual growth in
their churches. Yet despite good intentions, the deeper spiritual
life and transformation they had hoped for remained elusive. STIR
calls church leaders to reclaim an essential, biblical truth---that
the process of spiritual growth is more than a one-size-fits-all
program, it happens best through intentional relationships with
others in the body of Christ. Three distinct, sequential stages of
spiritual development typically occur as people mature in their
spiritual walk with Christ, and they need different kinds of
relationships to support their growth through those different
seasons. STIR describes those stages---learning together,
journeying together, and following together---and shows how
progress into and through these stages is best made in the context
of relationships that change in nature over time. Readers will
learn how to intentionally establish and strengthen the unique
kinds of relationships that are catalytic for growth at each stage
of their journey. Church leaders will come away with a new paradigm
for encouraging spiritual formation in their local church by
providing appropriate encouragement and support to people at all
stages of growth.
