It is on no level an easy read, but it's certainly worth taking the time to digest. Thomas Merton's Contemplative Prayer is not really about spiritual formation exactly, but I found it very helpful.

Two books come to mind: Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith and Cloister Walk. <br /> <br /> Yeah, I may have to take this course, too--! I think Kathleen Norris has a lot to say in this realm.

Love the potential reading list. I had Don Alexander as a prof in college and his ideas about sanctification are rich and powerful. He is a wise man on the subject.<br /> <br /> I would also add a small text by Randy Reese and Keith Anderson called "Spiritual Mentoring: A Guide for Seeking and Giving Direction".

I return to it again and again. I have been playing with her emphasis on Sapiential Wisdom and wondering how that connects with Tacit Knowledge.<br /> <br /> She reminds us that Augustine said that life was about knowing and enjoying God. That was my New Year's sermon and prayer for my congregation this year.<br /> <br /> Take care my friend. I would love to sit in on your class.<br /> Dallas Hey Dwight,
Charry’s book has been grace for me this last year. I return to it again and again. I have been playing with her emphasis on Sapiential Wisdom and wondering how that connects with Tacit Knowledge.

She reminds us that Augustine said that life was about knowing and enjoying God. That was my New Year’s sermon and prayer for my congregation this year.

Take care my friend. I would love to sit in on your class.
Dallas

God's intention to share the divine name with humans definitely seems to have a lot to say about a theology of spiritual formation. It's definitely one of the richest reflections on our vocation as Christ followers that I have ever heard. How about the end of The Named God and the Question of Being?

Have you considred Renovation of the Heart? It's honestly the one I haven't read, but from what I understand it is primarily about spiritual formation. Dwight,
