This friendly, inspiring book will enable readers to erase the negative stereotypes of spirituality and develop vital models and practices for the church today." "Intended for personal and group use by pastors, elders, other church leaders, and those preparing for service in the church, the book includes questions for reflection and discussion as well as journaling exercises to encourage learning and growth."--BOOK JACKET.
