Publisher's DescriptionIn the Wesleyan tradition, we believe that Christian formation happens best when two or more are gathered. So focus is the body of Christ gathered--worshiping; sharing, learning, fellowshipping, taking Holy Communion, and doing works of piety and charity--together. In addition, a relationship with God is not primarily an individuals lonely personal quest for transcendence. It is not about becoming more self-centered, more self-focused, but it is about becoming more self-forgetful. The book outlines spiritual practices that involve individual and congregational transformation through learning and loving, fellowship and worship, by being lifted up in spirit and being enlightened in mind. A normal Christian life needs balance not only between work and rest and play, but also between worship, sacraments, doing, and learning. It needs balance between being alone with God and time with significant others. Author Bio Ben Witherington, III is Amos distinguished professor of New Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary. Find him at Patheos.com/community/bibleandculture. He has written over 30 books and has appeared on radio and TV including the History Channel, Discovery Channel, NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN.
