The Spiritual Life: Clarifying the Confusion

As a result of the wide differences of opinion as to how to live a

spiritual life, there is confusion in the minds of many Christians. Is

the essence of the spiritual life performing religious activities such as

reading the Bible, praying, witnessing, attending church, and giving

money? Is it abstaining from a man-made list of activities? Is a crisis

experience such as “full surrender” the key to the spiritual life? Is the

believer to “get going” or “let go and let God?” In other words, is the

means of the spiritual life active or passive? After studying in detail

and preaching through every book of the New Testament, G. Michael

Cocoris, wrote The Spiritual Life: Clarifying the Confusion. It clarifies

the confusion by giving a comprehensive explanation of what the New

Testament teaches about the spiritual life from its foundation to goal.

It demonstrates that the New Testament model of the spiritual life is

growth from spiritual immaturity to spiritual maturity and explains in

detail what Christ-like spiritual maturity is as well as what is the means

to obtain it.
