Sheila Clement - Christian Arena, September 1987
"How does a Christian maintain his spiritual vigour, enthusiasm, or as the writer calls it - 'passion'? Where are we going in our spiritual life, if in fact we are going anywhere? 'For many the journey is a boresome task ... we can't turn back, but we are almost too tired to go on.' For some our energy has been reallocated towards the pursuit of a career position, hobby or other activity, while others have become so involved in Christian activities and organisations that either way all suffer from a spiritual exhaustion. Gordon Macdonald deals with conditions that threaten, the kinds of people that affect and the spirits that destroy spiritual passion and, finally, the spiritual battles of ambition and pride. The author suggests some 'safe places', 'still times' and 'special friends' who can help restore spiritual passion. The safe places allow us to find out who God is, the quiet times allow a chance to hear what God says, and the special friends give encouragement and correction to enable us to obey what God asks. How do you rate your passion? Does it need restoring? Then read this book!"
