The Spiritual Journey
David G. Benner's The Spiritual Journey trilogy describes the foundational Christian practice of surrender; how this practice emerges as a response to Perfect Love; and the changes this produces in our identity, will, and deepest desires. Each of the three best-selling books focuses on one of these strands while interweaving it with the others. Together they serve as a manual for walking the spiritual path as God's heart and mind slowly but truly become our own.
