The Shape of Living by David F Ford
In our culture of distraction it can be hard to focus on spiritual matters. Work, finances, and uncertain futures are just a few things that overwhelm us daily. Discover how to overcome and develop an everyday spirituality that will guide your actions and bring meaning to your hectic life.Ford provides a way beyond distraction to joy and buoyancy.--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary
Amidst the glut of books on the devotional life that seek to be relevant and are only contemporary, this book is already a classic on the 'spirituality of everyday life.' I could hardly put it down.--Ray Anderson, Fuller Theological Seminary
A wise book that concentrates on the principle aspects of our lives that we so often get wrong because we lack wisdom.--Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School
Offers far greater wealth than even several readings can probe.--Books & Culture
Profound and reflective . . . yet always concrete, and never dishonest or evasive. A jewel of the spiritual life in its everyday manifestations.--Nicholas Wolterstorff, Yale Divinity School
These reflections ought to be read by laity and clergy alike, for they offer the spiritual renewal we desperately need.--L. Gregory Jones, Duke University Divinity School
The Shape of Living is like a friend's invitation to a dinner at which you encounter some unexpected guests and hope for some life-shaping consequence. By all means, accept.--The Christian Century
