This is a book about Christian spiritual growth. A gentleman named James McClendon observed four key elements of the church's communal practice: preparation (marked by catechesis), conversion (marked by baptism), following (marked by the Eucharist) and Christian soaring (marked by communal discernment). The claim of this book is that ongoing spiritual growth Christian soaring is the birthright of every follower of Jesus and that the church's historic practice of communal discernment is the principal means by which disciples grow. It's about how can the church recover corporate discernment and thus achieve spiritual soaring in the realization of its three-fold purpose of worship, discipleship and witness.
