Books on Spiritual Formation

• Celebration of Discipline – The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard Foster (HarperSanFransico, 1998). This is a recent classic that covers 12 of the basic spiritual formation disciplines.
• Making All Things New – An Invitation to the Spiritual Life by Henri J. M. Nouwen (HarperSanFransico, 1981). This book and author are an absolute favorite of Glen Elliott. It is a powerfully short read that will launch you into the whole world of spiritual formation.
• Soul Talk – The Language God Longs for Us to Speak by Larry Crabb (Integrity, 2005). Crabb is another favorite author of Pastor Glen. This is not a book just about prayer, but a book about the whole world of spiritual living. A winner.
