Book Description:
Cultivate and Catalyze Spiritual Transformation in Your Community
Many Christian communities long for deeper spiritual growth but find themselves stuck, not knowing how to move forward together. If you are a leader seeking to guide your community toward genuine, God-centered transformation, this book provides the vision and tools you need.
In Leading a Transforming Community, spiritual formation thought leader Ruth Haley Barton shares insights from over twenty-five years of guiding leaders through the Transforming Center. She casts a compelling vision for what is possible when a community gathers around the presence of Christ with the shared goal of spiritual transformation.
This seminal work is an essential resource for pastors, small group leaders, and leaders of all Christian communities who believe that change and transformation should be the norm, not the exception.
Leading a Transforming Community will equip you and your team with
Biblical and theological foundations for spiritual transformation in community;
Shared attitudes, practices, and experiences to do together as a group;
Real-life examples and stories from fellow leaders; and
Practical, intentional strategies for opening to God as a community.
This book shows how spiritual transformation is central to the message of the gospel and the mission of the church. With Leading a Transforming Community, learn to cultivate a community of spiritual transformation that discerns and does the will of God together, and in turn empowers others to do the same.
