Slow Theology

Eight Practices for Resilient Faith in a Turbulent World

About this book

Why slowing down is the secret to spiritual strength

In our fast-paced world of outrageous headlines and knee-jerk reactions, we struggle to hear God's voice amid the noise. Despite constant connectivity, our lives lack true spiritual connection and depth.

A. J. Swoboda and Nijay Gupta offer a practical theology guide for building resilient faith through Christian discipleship. Addressing spiritual deconstruction and doubt with honesty, they show how to fortify your faith against cultural challenges through eight transformative spiritual practices, including

● taking your time in prayer and Bible study,
● building patience for your spiritual journey and faith formation,
● slowing down your thinking and decision-making process,
● finding peace with unanswered questions rather than demanding easy solutions, and
● facing spiritual difficulties head-on instead of avoiding them.

This Christian living book helps weary believers reconnect with God and neighbor through intentional spiritual growth. With a foreword by Glenn Packiam, it's perfect for devotional reading, small group study, or anyone seeking authentic faith formation.
