Robert Mulholland Jr. defines spiritual formation as \"the process of being formed in the image of Christ for the sake of others.\" Compact and solid, this definition encompasses the dynamics of a vital Christian life and counters our culture's tendency to make spirituality a trivial matter or reduce it to a private affair between \"me and Jesus.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eInvitation to a Journey\u003c\/i\u003e, Mulholland offers valuable insights for Christians both new and old, emphasizing that becoming like Christ is a gradual process, not an instant transformation. Recognizing that not all personalities thrive with traditional practices like early morning quiet times, he encourages you to express your devotion to God in ways that work for you. Mulholland thoughtfully explores the classical spiritual disciplines, demonstrating the importance of undertaking your spiritual journey with (and for the sake of) others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIn this revised and expanded edition, you'll find: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditions, revisions, and new foreword by Ruth Haley Barton, \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpiritual practices for individual and group application, and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA study guide to provide spiritual direction for groups seeking spiritual companionship for one another on the journey of transformation. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eInvitation to a Journey\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to dig deeper, to slow down, and to experience the profound transformation that comes with intentional spiritual practices.
