Excellent book, amd discipleship resource. Smith does a great job at both helping you understand Gods intent for your life, amd also doing formational exercises leading to that life.

Great book! James Bryan Smith does a great job of bringing formation to life as he applies the scriptures to what it means to be a follower of Jesus, and how we walk differently. A great read as part of his Good and Beautiful trilogy.

Shawn is starting Anatomy of the Soul: Surprising Connections between Neuroscience and Spiritual Practices That Can Transform Your Life and Relationships

Great book. A little technical but worth the read to understand the role of the mind in spiritual formation.

Shawn is starting Flood and Fury: Old Testament Violence and the Shalom of God

Great book. If you feel like it’s difficult to reconcile the violence in the OT with Jesus…it’s time to deepen your understanding of who God is…

For those hungry to grow more intimate with Jesus in prayer, and familiar with contemplation, wow. It’s been such a rich season to learn from Thomas Dubay!

Amazing. One of the first and most accessible books on prayer I’ve read. It’s not an easy read, and you’ll stop for days on a single quote.

Shawn is on page 63 of 84 of The Fire Within: Desire, Sexuality, Longing, and God

One of the finest books I’ve read on prayer and pursuit of God. Thomas Dubay unpacked the works of Theresa of Avila and John of the Cross in incredibly accessible ways without tarnishing the treasures of the indescribable found in intimacy with God.
