Hi Jo-Ann ... thanks so much for reading and commenting ... and the encouraging words. You made my day! I'm glad to hear that the distinction between transactional and transformational Christianity was helpful. It made a huge difference for me at the time :)

Hi Jo-Ann ... thanks so much for reading and commenting ... and the encouraging words. You made my day! I'm glad to hear that the distinction between transactional and transformational Christianity was helpful. It made a huge difference for me at the time :)
Hmmmm ... I wonder what would be a good book ... let me offer you a few and see if any resonate:
3) This is a helpful book about little practices we can do anytime throughout our day. It's from a wonderful author, Tish Harrison Warren, The Liturgy of the Ordinary: https://www.ivpress.com/liturgy-of-the-ordinary
Also, another idea may be to set the books aside, and just try a simple practice, something like a breath prayer for 3 min ... or fasting a snack once a week ... or even just faithful napping, while trusting in God. All of these can be simple ways to live more God-centered. Nothing spectacular – just simple, gentle, and easy ways of growing in friendship with God.
I hope some of this may be helpful. If not, let it drop to the ground.
Let me know how you're doing every once in a while!
Thanks Jonathan. I will definitely check those out. I look forward to following your posts and your journey as well. Thank you for using your gifts to help me and others. I pray you’ll be encouraged to know the Lord is using you. May the Lord reward you and be your reward. God bless. Jo-Ann

Hmmmm ... I wonder what would be a good book ... let me offer you a few and see if any resonate:
1) I really like this simple book by Richella Parham called A Spiritual Formation Primer: https://renovare.org/books/spiritual-formation-primer
2) This was a big help when I was starting out with Spiritual Formation: Revolution of Character by Dallas Willard: https://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Character-Discovering-Spiritual-Transformation/dp/1576838579
