The Unchained Soul

Rating:
Summary: New Freedoms
Review: This is my first Calvin Miller book, but it certainly won't be my last. The Unchained Soul is a journey into wholeness. Calvin Miller gives to us a picture of what a relationship with Jesus Christ can look like through the filter of the Great Christian Classics. Where Richard Foster teaches us the nuts and bolts of spiritual disciplines in The Celebration of Discipline, Calvin Miller takes us to an intermediate level of spiritual discipline. Calvin Miller explains to us in his book that we will "not be sent away empty from Christ except those of us who come to him full of themselves." Spiritual Disciplines teach us how to enjoy our walk with God. And Calvin Miller's writing eases us into a new realm with Christ and refreshes our journey towards Christlikeness. There is poetry in Calvin Miller's words as he carries us to new vistas with God. Being alive in Christ is hard work, but it is the best of living. The Unchained Soul's author teaches us this as he shares from personal experience. "There is freedom in discipline," writes Miller. Indeed there is!
