Review of Am I Living a Spiritual Life by Dr. Susan Muto

Not everything that calls itself "spiritual" really is. Some books on spirituality are little more than pop counseling and self-help books with scripture sprinkled through like window dressings. This is not the case with Dr. Susan Muto's book Am I Living a Spiritual Life. Muto is grounded in the foundational practices of the Christian life, church history, and Christ-centered living.

In Presence-Centered Youth Ministry, King argues that if we are going to have long-term impact on youth, we need to change our approach to youth ministry. This change includes focusing on ancient Christian practices rather than wrapping our ministries around current cultural values and behavior modification techniques.

I have read about one-third of the book,"Everything Must Change", by Brian McLaren. I am reading an advance copy the book will be released on October 1, 2007. It would be an understatement to say the book is challenging me. In his usual candor, McLaren is turning my world upside down. He did it to me in "A New Kind of Christian" and now in this book.
