For a couple of months now, I've been working my way through A Spiritual Formation Workbook,* because I found a used copy at a local thrift store, and it looked interesting. I thought it might prove useful for a neighborhood Bible study - which it would, by the way.
However, for me, it's been useful in providing me with a foundation and hands-on activities for daily practice. When it comes to getting closer to God, knowing what I ought to do and actually doing it can be two very different things. A book like this can help to close the gap between intellectual grasp and daily living.
