The Spiritual Journey: Understanding the Stages of Faith

When you are on a journey, it helps to have a map of the terrain and a guide to help you along the way. In this book, Mark Conner presents such a map and guides us through the stages of faith that are common to the spiritual journey. This journey is rarely linear or in a straight line. There are many curves, twists, and surprises along the way. Sometimes we seem to move in circles or in random patterns that don't make sense at the time. Nevertheless, God is at work in our lives. Welcome to the journey of faith.Endorsements: "Christians throughout the world are asking themselves what lifelong discipleship really means in today's fast-changing culture.

With insight, clarity, helpful descriptions and personal stories, Mark has produced a book that should be compulsory reading for Christians of all ages."Cheryl McCallumMinister, Church Leader, experienced Theological Educator
