Reviews

This well-researched study grounds Christian spiritual formation on a trinitarian and biblical foundation that expands to cover the basic formative dimensions of life. Particularly helpful are the often-neglected areas of vocation and physical health as they relate to Christian spirituality.?Chandler is to be commended for this valuable resource that is appropriate for both the classroom and the church. --Tom Schwanda, associate professor of Christian formation and ministry, Wheaton College


Diane Chandler has provided a much-needed service in the field of Christian formation by integrating the spiritual dimension of formation with the larger elements of human existence. While writings in each of the seven areas of human formation are plentifully available, I know of no resource that attempts the integration Chandler has provided. --M. Robert Mulholland Jr., professor of New Testament, Asbury Theological Seminary


Although this book is best suited for graduate level, spiritual formation courses, it would be well suited for anyone interested in a multi-disciplinary, holistic approach to Christian formation. --Steve L. Porter, Religious Studies Review, March 2015
