Off–Road Disciplines – Spiritual Adventures of Missional Leaders
Spiritual Adventures of Missional Leaders
Samenvatting
In
Off–Road Disciplines, Earl Creps reveals that the on–road practices of prayer and Bible reading should be bolstered by the other kinds of encounters with God that occur unexpectedly complete with the bumps and bruises that happen when you go off–road. Becoming an off–road leader requires the cultivation of certain spiritual disciplines that allow the presence of the Holy Spirit to arrange your interior life. Earl Creps explores twelve central spiritual disciplines six personal and six organizational that Christian leaders of all ages and denominations need if they are to change themselves and their churches to reach out to the culture around them.
