This workbook is for use with the video course, Change by Grace . Forming is an approach to Christian growth that may be very different from what you have experienced before, because it does not depend on your willpower to make changes in your life. To use a metaphor, rather than trying to row against the current of our inner life in an effort to do what we think is right, Forming shows us how to align our sales with the wind, engaging with the Spirit of God to change the direction of our heart so we can go places we could never get to by rowing alone. If you are tired of "row harder" approaches to spiritual growth, then join us in learning how to align with God for the kind of change you always believed should be possible.
