This book is a wise, pastoral invitation from Rich Villodas to resist shallow faith and embrace spiritual formation that touches our emotions, relationships, and everyday decisions. Villodas writes with clarity and compassion, naming the inner work required to follow Jesus in a fractured, distracted world. This is a book that doesn’t rush transformation but patiently guides readers toward a faith that is rooted, resilient, and shaped by the way of Christ over time. As I moved slowly through the practices and conversations, I felt myself becoming more aware, more grounded, and more attentive to what God was doing beneath the surface. It is one of those books that is best read slowly and with a community of friends wanting to go deeper. - Nick Nye
