The Deeply Formed Life

A Small Group Book Club

The troubling reality is that believers can be deeply committed to being Christian without ever being deeply formed by Christ.

Rich Villodas

What might it look like if being a Christian was more than a brand, a party preference, or reserved time on our calendar? What if it did more than alter how we present ourselves to the world but shaped our innermost being? In this book we will explore formational concepts and practices that lead to a deeper Christian life.
