Must-Have Book for Authentic Missional Spirituality! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I could not put down The Art of Missional Spirituality: 31 Sacred Practices for Jesus-Followers by Jeremy and Monica Paredes Chambers, and all I can say is, WOW! During these challenging times, it's clear that we need a missional spirituality that overflows from our personal connection with the divine. This book is the perfect guide!

The practices curated by Monica and Jeremy are truly outstanding. I've been implementing some of their exercises into my daily routine for a season now, and they've added immense value to my own practitionership. The wealth of insights they draw from Scripture, the Christian tradition, and their personal experiences brings the book to life. Their holistic approach bridges the gap between Kingdom mission and knowing the King - this is something I've been obsessed with for a while.

I can't recommend this book enough for anyone seeking a deeper, more authentic spirituality that goes hand in hand with living life as a missional practitioner. It's been a game-changer for me! Trust me, you need this book on your shelf.

I purchased this book because I realized a deficiency in my own spiritual journey. I struggle with daily spiritual habits. Jeremy and Monica provide a great resource in helping followers of Jesus to develop a meaningful relationship with Jesus. The culture and political environment has done much to distract myself and others from truly focusing on the kingdom of God and everything that goes with it. I have read through this book and now plan to go back and digest it one day and one week at a time that I might be able to not only grow with Jesus but also grow to love people around me. I have given this book five stars because it is such a practical resource and helps give followers of Jesus who are serious about being missional ways to develop their spiritual journey.

Jeremy & Monica are experienced missional practitioners. They are sort of modern-day examples of urban monks & mystics for many of us who are actively engaged in ministry. I love their deep desire to nourish and tend to others who are sensing God’s invitation to draw closer and to be caught up in his life-giving-kingdom.

If you want to find a deeper sense of joy and connection to God as a Jesus follower I would encourage you to metabolize the practices in this book.

Excellent resource as you go into the darker months to reestablish the practices of a disciple of Jesus.
