THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL GOD is the first book in the Apprentice Series, which along with three other titles forms 'a curriculum for Christlikeness'. THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL GOD focuses on the character of God and how we can move into a life of intimacy with him. What we believe about God is of huge importance to our lives: the path to spiritual transformation begins here. Each chapter uncovers the narratives by which Jesus lived, and includes a 'soul-training' exercise to help embed this narrative into our minds, bodies and souls. Each chapter also includes questions that can be used for individual reflection or group discussion.

The Apprentice Series is the best practice I have seen in Christian spiritual transformation. (Dallas Willard, author of The Divine Conspiracy )
This is truly the most unique and best practice in spiritual formation out there! This along with the other future titles in this Apprentice Series will form a formidable 'curriculum of Christ-likeness.' Loving, transformative and deep! (Christian Marketplace )

This is a great book .... Easy to read but provocatively written, encouraging reflection and action. There are suggested activities in relation to each chapter which are helpful applications of the content.

The Good and Beautiful God is a great book. Practical, straightforward and well written. We use this in small groups at church as a devotional tool. Highly recommend it.

This is an excellent book. We have used it as a group. It is very real and practical. The group has had some deep and thought provoking conversations. None of us have been left unmoved.

Product supplied promptly as promised. It was in good condition bar a slight nick on the front cover. Not a major problem as for my own use.

I bought this book after a recommendation from a friend. For me it is one of those books that repay time spent reading a section at a time. Read more
