Living Life with God
Life with God is an indispensible guide to approaching the Bible through the lens of Christian spiritual formation, revealing that reading the Bible for interior transformation is a far different endeavor than reading the Bible for historical knowledge, literary appreciation, or religious instruction.

Meeting God on Holy Ground
The Bible is our essential written resource if we are to gain the life of peace, abundance, and meaning that Jesus promises in the Gospels. For Scripture to be really available, however, we need a new outlook on Scripture. The Fire of the Word has it.

Connecting with God focuses on God living with indviduals. Prayer and Worship uses the Psalms as a resource for spiritual formation. Learning from Jesus takes us through the Gospels highlighting his life alone and in community. Living the Mission considers the founding of the Church as it becomes a place of mission and formation.
