Short Review: This is a very brief introduction to spiritual formation and the basic steps of how to proceed. Parham is a lay person on the board of Renovare (Richard Foster's organization that was started to encourage spiritual formation). And she was first introduced to the concept of spiritual formation about 10 years ago. So she is writing from the perspective of a lay person that was not too long ago unacquainted with the concept. There is nothing new or original here. It is a basic introduction. But as a basic, short introduction it hits all the major points and objections.
