Hungry for God

Short Review: a good introductory book on spiritual growth, but it wasn't anything particularly unique or original. That is not all bad for a book on spiritual growth. Much of it should be basically the same as everyone else. But I have been reading a lot of Catholic and Anglican and others and I think that many of the other Church traditions have thought more about spiritual growth as a Christian than Evangelicals have. I think it is part of their theology that they assume people are already Christian and now need to learn how to live like a Christian.

On the negative side this is why John Paul II said that the Catholic Church now has to evangelize their own. But it is not much different from many evangelicals that get people to the point of conversion and then keep preaching the same basic gospel presentation to them without giving them the additional meat of the transforming power of the gospel.

As a good example of much more meaty discusion of spiritual growth. I will post a review of Richard Rohr's The Art of Letting Go on monday.
