The authors respond to the challenge of life in today's world by drawing upon the Reformed tradition to provide guidance for spiritual development. Each chapter in their book begins with a vignette from the lives of Peter and Mary Simpson, who move from becoming members of the Presbyterian church to church leaders. Through the Simpsons, who struggle with relating their faith to life experiences, including illness and job loss, the authors help individuals understand and live the Christian life fully. They provide practical suggestions, lesson plans and exercises, and recommendations for encouraging spiritual growth.
