Learn to Breathe: The Surprising Path to a Transformed Life

by Jim Mindling

Have you plateaued in your faith? Does it seem you should be more like Christ than you are? Have you settled for a version of Christianity that is a far cry from the joy and adventure found in biblical Christlikeness? You're not alone. Many are not even aware that the purpose of life is to become like Christ. Others sense there's more but just don't know how to make it happen. The key to becoming like Christ is discovering how to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit; learning the rhythm of breathing in His life-giving presence and breathing out the toxins that poison our soul. Learn to Breathe shows us how to intentionally align with the Holy Spirit's work of spiritual formation as God develops Christlikeness in us. Exploring how Jesus cooperated with the Holy Spirit while he walked on earth reveals a fascinating model for us to follow today.

This book was a simple read with practical advice for those who are seeking to deepen their relationship with Jesus and know Him better. Jim Mindling has shared biblical and easy to follow ways of how to train ourselves to cooperate with the Holy Spirit, to hear His voice, to obey His commands, and to seek His guidance daily. I would recommend this book for anyone struggling with hearing the Holy Spirit's voice or anyone who feels disconnected from God. Breathing air for life is the same as breathing in the Holy Spirit for spiritual life.
