Spiritual Fitness: Christian Character in a Consumer Culture

by Graham Tomlin

A focus on physical fitness is part of modern culture, but not so when it comes to spiritual fitness. Graham Tomlin asks what can be done? Physical health and fitness require discipline, self-denial and cost; so, too, with spiritual fitness. This is a very practical book giving churches and their members tools with which to start to reverse the trend of spiritual flabbiness, benefitting both themselves and society, as the church becomes more appealing and significant. This book is for all who feel disatisfied with their Christian faith, who are concerned about the future of the church, or who want to see the church becoming more relevant to modern culture.

[Ally Bennett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Super book. Challenging and thought provoking! Highly recommend a read. Goes a little 'history lesson' in the middle which is the only reason why it doesnt have 5 stars.
