Book Description:
From Transactional Faith to Transformational Life in Christ
Are you tired of feeling stuck in your faith? Do you long for real, lasting spiritual transformation that feels relational rather than formulaic?
Like many Christians, you may feel as if you’re living in a cycle of fits and starts, seeking to grow closer to God but feeling disillusioned in your faith. In a culture of hustle and hurry, maybe you long to trade a transactional faith for a transformational relationship with God.
In Dwelling in Christ, Jonathan R. Bailey reintroduces the Threefold Way―an ancient, time-tested path of Christian spirituality. Moving beyond quick fixes and performance-based faith, this well-worn path offers a practical movement through three stages for growing in Christlikeness over a lifetime.
Discover anew how to walk the Threefold Way:
- Purgation: Learn to release the harmful and unloving things that pull you away from God.
- Illumination: Dwell more deeply in God’s presence as you intentionally and gradually align your heart more and more with his.
- Union: Experience an ever-deepening friendship with God that increasingly transforms you into Christlikeness from the inside out.
Aided by the wisdom of ancient monastics, contemporary theologians, and thoughtful reflections on his own spiritual journey, Bailey invites you to trade the illusion of control for the reality of love. In continuity with spiritual voices such as Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, this book offers a hopeful and practical way of life through retrieving a framework reaching back into the earliest centuries of the church. With Dwelling in Christ, be free from chasing quick fixes and enter the steady, lifelong journey of becoming like Christ.
