Building Your Spiritual Core: 101 Creative Ways to Connect with God - Paperback

by Ron Parrish (Author)

Years ago a friend taught me a dozen or so core building exercises, which have strengthened me to ride, swim and run stronger in order to compete in triathlons. Spiritual exercises can have the same effect on our faith. We can be transformed spiritually through exercises that position ourselves to experience God's love and nurture and sense of His empowering presence daily.

The exercises compiled in this spiritual workout manual are what Paul was referring to when he said: "Physical training is good, but training in godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come" (1 Timothy 4:8 NLT). Try some of these examples and you will experience a healthier, robust faith. In this book 101 diverse, creative, clearly communicated ways show us how to encounter the living God in our lives.
