In this sequel to Toolkit for Spiritual Growth: A Practical Guide to Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving, Fr. Evan Armatas covers three additional spiritual tools—Scripture, confession, and time. Drawing upon the wisdom of the Old and New Testaments, the Orthodox Church, the saints, and years of pastoral experience, Fr. Evan mixes theology with practical advice and personal stories. Readers will better understand the Sacrament of Confession and the importance of reading the Bible and of living in the present, where the eternal touches ordinary time. These spiritual tools will help us heal and become truly human as they provide support to anyone who seeks to live a transfigured life in Christ.
