Shaped By the Spirit

In recent years, the Church in the West has witnessed a growing hunger to engage in spiritual disciplines that help us become more like Jesus. And yet, if our practices cause us to look inwards without looking outwards, then we can unwittingly distance ourselves from him instead.
Jesus was inherently other-focussed, and in this immensely practical book, Kate Pocklington invites us to explore why being formed by the Spirit is only half of the picture.
We are formed by the Spirit, formed through our experiences with others and formed for the sake of God's mission in the world. Together we will see how God - the grand recycler - wants to use every part of our past and personality to shape us into other-focussed people.
Kate Pocklington is a part of the Pioneers Oceania Regional Leadership team, overseeing Leadership Development and Mission Formation. Prior to this she was the Training and Development Team Leader for Pioneers of Australia, led a cross-cultural training program called Transition Training for Missions Interlink and completed a doctorate, entitled The Role of Prayer in Mission Formation: From Africa to Australia, through Fuller Seminary. Kate grew up in the Philippines, studied in the States, served in India for eight years and now lives in Australia.
