In this book, Tyra encourages us to adopt a Pauline lifestyle spirituality, whereby we keep in step with the Holy Spirit so that we might experience an ongoing mentoring relationship with the Son in order to faithfully and fruitfully engage in the mission of the Father. Keeping in step with the spirit unfolds in a \"lifestyle spirituality,\" a collection of convictions, commitments, and customs that constitute the disciple's lifelong journey with the triune God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is part of a new series that reflects the changing face of global Christianity.
