People today are drawn to finding a type of spirituality that will satisfy them and bring meaning and peace to their lives. In this book, John Driver…invites us to let ourselves be guided by the Spirit of God—to live our spirituality within the committed community, pursuing a way of life that is consistent with what we believe while transforming situations of oppression, injustice, poverty, exclusion, and violence.

It was both inspiring and renewing to read this book by John Driver – I have learned much from him. In the Latin American world in which I live and work, the Holy Spirit is often associated with loud music and spontaneous and emotional expressions. We should never forget that only in Jesus Christ will we be able to find the model of true Christian spirituality, even though it has diverse expressions in different historical, cultural, and geographic contexts.

John Driver’s book is a timely resource for Chinese churches. Driver defines Christian spirituality as “the experience of every dimension of human life being oriented around and animated by the very Spirit of Jesus.” For Driver, Christian spirituality is the lifelong process of following Jesus…This spirituality has to be embodied within a faith community.

I believe that this book provides a very rich and necessary doctrinal manual for the ongoing training of Anabaptist church members throughout the world.
