Synopsis
A groundbreaking book that explains and illustrates
what spiritual formation meant to Jesus.
What does Jesus teach us about spiritual formation? Many of the spiritual masters that we look to today offer great insights on various aspects of the Christian faith journey. Their words speak to us of union with God, transformation, and purpose. But behind these worthy goals stands Jesus, shaped himself by the ancient Jewish creed for spiritual formation, the Shema.
This creed commands Israel to love God with heart, soul, and strength. During his lifetime, Jesus amended that creed of Judaism and so gave his followers a creed for spiritual formation: they are to love God with heart, soul, and strength, and to love others as themselves.
In this practical, story_filled, witty, and illuminating volume, Scot McKnight gives Christians an opportunity to walk alongside Jesus as he teaches the Jesus Creed of love of the Father and love of others.

For a long time [Scot McKnight] has been a kind of secret weapon for my own education and growth. Now he can be yours as well. This book will bring Jesus' world and yours much closer together.
