A groundbreaking work on the integration of emotional health and contemplative spirituality that current models of discipleship fail to address. Many sincere followers of Christ-followers who are really passionate for God, join a church, participate weekly in a small group, serve with their gifts, and are followers who are considered "mature"-remain stuck at a level of spiritual immaturity. And even more so when faced with interpersonal conflicts and crises. Author Peter Scazzero unveils what's wrong with our conventional means of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works but seven powerful steps to transformation. This strategy for discipleship will help readers mature into a faith filled with authenticity and a profound love for God.

This is a good and helpful book. I think that we, as Christians, need to make Sabbath and healthy care of ourselves. This, taken inappropriately, could lead to too much self interest. But that is not the intent of the author. What kept me from five stars is that he spent a lot of time encouraging healthy behavior, but not enough describing what he did and alternatives. That is what I would like to see more of for it to be a great book for me.
