Not only is this book a study in beauty, imagination, and spiritual forma- tion; it also models the very practices it preaches. To read it is to witness beauty and imagination at work and thus to leave its pages better formed and more ready to be formed by all the goodness the world has to offer.”

“By linking developmental theory with profound insights from biblical studies, theology, and spiritual formation, Kiesling provides a thorough and inspiring picture of Christian discipleship across the life span. Filled with practical ideas for pas- tors, parents, clinicians, and educators, Discipleship for Every Stage of Life offers clear pathways for helping people of all ages encounter Jesus in all of life. This is my new go-to resource for connecting contemporary human development with the timeless wisdom of the Christian faith.”

“Spiritual formation with substance and depth! Sosler gives a thick account of Christian growth in holiness and wholeness shaped by a biblical-theological-ecclesial vision of truth, goodness, beauty, and community. Anyone who’s sung the Augus- tinian cri de coeur of Bono’s ‘I still haven’t found what I’m looking for’ but found the modern spiritual formation literature too light and fluffy will be glad for this win - some retrieval of classical theology in service to a practice of discipleship that can take shape in real communities. This is one to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest and then share with another pilgrim on the way of the restless heart.”
