From the Introduction:

“Living into goodness, the image of God, already inside of us requires intentional practice. Growing into people of Christ-like character, knowing our spiritual gifts, faithfully navigating transition, harnessing the power of our sacred stories, requires that we slow down to reflect, to ask questions, to spend time with God alone and in community. The good news is that Christianity has handed down the gifts of ancient spiritual practices that offer a starting place on the map of the long road of the life of faith—often called the spiritual journey.”
