Soaring in the Spirit by Charles J Conniry
Rediscovering Mystery in the Christian Life This is a book about Christian spiritual growth. James McClendon, Jr., observed four key elements of the church's communal practice: preparation (marked by catechesis) conversion (marked by baptism) following (marked by the Eucharist) Christian soaring (marked by communal discernment). The claim of this book is that ongoing spiritual growth - Christian soaring - is the birthright of every follower of Jesus Christ, and that the church's historic practice of communal discernment is the principal means by which disciples grow. How can the church recover corporate discernment and thus achieve 'spiritual soaring' in the realization of its threefold purpose of worship, discipleship, and witness? This is a thoughtful, stirring, and ground-breaking book on the neglected topic of Christian soaring through discerning discipleship.
'Conniry's book is a tour de forceIt not only blessed me but drew me to pray...It can be read with profit...by anyone who longs to soar in the spirit.' Brennan Manning , author of The Ragamuffin Gospel
