Spiritual Growth

We are each walking our own spiritual journey. How can we draw closer to God and live in his presence every day? Perfect for spiritual directors, contemplatives, and all Christians alike, these books inform our spiritual formation through spiritual practices and tools. Strengthen your daily discipleship in Christ with devotionals, prayer resources, and inspiring spirituality books.

For even more, read articles from IVP authors on topics related to spiritual formation or browse books on personal growth and personality. You can also hear about all of IVP's newest resources by signing up for our email list.
