Description

Who are you becoming? And how will you get there?

Spiritual transformation is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Each of us has a particular identity, gifts, values, roles, and purpose. Thus we each need distinct spiritual rhythms that are designed to help us live out that vocation and calling.

In this practical book Alastair Sterne shows how we can craft a life of more intentionality, becoming Christlike in ways that fit who we are. First we discover who God made us to be, in all our distinctiveness. Then we enter into spiritual practices that flow out of that particular sense of identity, with fourfold rhythms that point us upward to God, inward to self, withward in community, and outward in mission. Our vocation is our identity uniquely lived out before God, bringing our being and doing together.

You can live a life that is more aligned with who you are meant to be. Discover spiritual rhythms that move at the pace of grace, and align you with your unique identity and calling in Christ.

Advance Praise

"Who did God make me to be? is seldom asked. We tend to focus on our sins, weaknesses, and inabilities. And even when the question is asked, it is not easy to find true wisdom. Rhythms for Life by Alastair Sterne is a happy exception. It assists us to see the reality of who each of us is uniquely created to be and then gives a grace-filled path to get there."

-Todd Hunter, bishop in the Anglican Church in North America, author of Christianity Beyond Belief

"At once deeply personal and immensely practical, Alastair has written a powerful book that can change the way we move through the world. He inspires us to cultivate rhythms that enable us to experience deep contentment, joy, and peace in our everyday life with God."

-Ken Shigematsu, pastor of Tenth Church, Vancouver, British Columbia, and author of Survival Guide for the Soul
