What does it mean to live like a Christian in this hectic modern world? How does our faith
relate to the issues and struggles of contemporary life?
In The Shape of Living, David F. Ford examines those overwhelming experiences common to us
all--love and pain, grief and joy, a fear of the future or a dread of the past--and
reflects on them in light of his own life journey, the testimony of Scripture, and the
wisdom of spiritual mentors. Each chapter asks life-shaping questions that point readers
to reflect on crucial concerns, such as:
- the people--past and present--who impact their lives
- the nature of work and calling
- the formation of personal virtues
- the stewardship of time and resources
- the disciplines of spiritual growth
The result is a stimulating dialogue that provides practical pointers in responding to
life's overwhelming. A vision emerges of an authentic Christian life that can squarely
face both the demands of Jesus Christ and the challenges of the contemporary world.
