Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Tapping into the desire many Christians have for a deeper spiritual life, Asbury Theological Seminary professor Mulholland (Invitation to a Journey) begins at the end goal of the discipleship journey—"to be like Jesus." But picturing something far beyond wearing a "WWJD" bracelet, he explains that being like Jesus actually implies a deep unity with God. Using scripture and quotations from many famous Christian writers, he paints a picture of profound and even mysterious connection with God. The book's strength lies in its powerful description of the "false self" that all humans construct as a result of their estrangement from God. Using biblical foundations and ordinary life, Mulholland illustrates various characteristics of the "false self," which makes us fearful, protective, possessive, manipulative, destructive, self-promoting and indulgent. He follows with an excellent discussion of the extremely sneaky religious version of the "false self." But beyond "putting off the old self," Mulholland gives direction for "putting on the new self," repeatedly emphasizing that this transformation is and must remain God's work in our lives. Central to his conclusion is his argument that this change absolutely must be lived out in relationship to other people. The prayers and probing questions interspersed throughout provide a very personal invitation into this deeper journey. (Feb.)

Product Description

As you journey deeper in the Christian pilgrimage, you come to realize that the Christian life is more than merely replicating particular spiritual disciplines or practices. You begin to understand that at the core of Christian faith is the transformation of your very identity. M. Robert Mulholland Jr. exposes the false selves that you may be tempted to hide behind and helps you to instead discover the true self that comes from being hidden with Christ in God. If the goal of the Christian journey is Christlikeness, then you must reckon with the unhealthy ways that you root your sense of being in things other than God. Along the way, you will discover a growing sense of intimacy and abandonment to God. Not only will you encounter the joy of discovering your own self, you will also find a greater love for others and compassion for the world. Features & Benefits

5.0 out of 5 stars Pause and think, June 22, 2006
The Deeper Journey may not be a fast read, at least for me it wasn't because I paused to reflect on some pretty significant concepts. The author provides ample support to help you understand that we are to become transparent and vulnerable in our relationships and learn how to trust the genuine article. While the book takes you into deep self reflection on motives and openess, it also is not overwhelming or heavy handed. I think that Dr. Muholland has struck an even tone and will help a person to walk the talk and grow in their personal faith.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is everything the title implies, February 13, 2008
This book is definitely a challenging, intense journey into discovering ones true self....a lesson in living from the heart Jesus gave you. It is not an easy ride to a half-way point or a substation of the Grand Central of true self. If you put your heart into it it will reward your efforts abundantly. There are no half-measures in this book. It leaves no stone unturned and is full of "ah-hah" revelations backed up by scripture aw well as modern day experiences I can relate to. I would not recommend this book to a person beginning a spiritual journey into their true self. I feel this book needs to be studied and shared rather than simply read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proper view, June 4, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Excellent book! it deals with the Fact of "being to do" instead of "doing to be" in other words the true self is the new man in Christ Jesus . If your identity is not from Jesus Christ thats the False you. Christ is to be formed in you, the false you is trying to work your way to be Christ like but the true self is being Christ like and the life of Christ Jesus flows from who you really are ,a word of God spoken into the earth, a son of God, heir of God and Joint heir with Jesus.
