A summary of this book:

Peter Scazzero outlines a road map for discipleship with Jesus that is powerfully transformative. He unveils what's wrong with popular practices of "spiritual growth" and offers not only a model of spirituality that actually works, but steps to change that will help you experience authentic faith and hunger for God. He teaches that you can't be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature. Even though he was the pastor of a growing church, he did what most people do: Avoid conflict in the name of Christianity. Ignore his anger, sadness, and fear. Use God to run from God. Live without boundaries. Eventually God awakened him to a biblical integration of emotional health and the spiritual practice of slowing down and quieting your life for to experience a firsthand relationship with Jesus. It created nothing short of a spiritual revolution in Scazzero, in his church, and now in thousands of other churches.
