    Pathways to Christlike Transformation

    Best quote from Pathways to Christlike Transformation

    “

    Spiritual formation is the Holy Spirit's work of transforming our character from the inside out. We create the space through practices like prayer and Scripture, but we can't force the growth—that is God's work.

    ”
