Product Details for Spiritual Arts
There is a scriptural path toward transformation and growth: the spiritual arts. You could call them qualities or disciplines, but Jill Briscoe shows why they are much more than that.

Description:
“I like to think of the work of The Holy Spirit in the lives of men and women as art.” Spiritual life is not just a gift; it is a skill we must work to develop.

Using Paul’s letter to the Philippians as her guide, Bible teacher Jill Briscoe uncovers eight “spiritual arts” that Christians are called to practice regularly; contentment, intimacy, suffering, simplicity, ministry, tranquility, humility, and harmony.

Jill pulls no punches in challenging Christian readers to do their part, Spiritual Arts is a discovery study of practices we need to learn if we are to live life as God intended—full of great joy, deeper intimacy with God, and an exciting impact in the lives of others. With patience, wit, and probing questions, Jill challenges the faithful to a different ethic and a more active, focused way to follow Christ.
