I know I need to walk this road, and my false self is resisting. Thank you for the resources, and for the gentle tone of your invitation to enter into life-giving spiritual disciplines as I journey with you and others during this season. I love your podcasts, and look forward to becoming anchored more deeply in Jesus by them once again.

In my home church, I am leading a women’s Bible Study on Spiritual Disciplines. I am using several resources which, of course, include you. How do I receive permission to use brief readings or quotes from your books.
Thank you,
Karla (TC17!)

Thanks Teresa. Our online store is sadly closed as we re-engineer some components of our ministry. Our most familiar resources may be purchased through other online retailers like Amazon or directly from our publishers. Other Transforming Center resources (like our Lent materials) will be available exclusively at our events and to our Transforming Community members.

We are making our downloadable Lent: A Season of Returning available when one makes a donation of any size during Lent. Details are here:
https://transformingcenter.org/lent-gift/
The link for your personal use is included in your donation receipt that you will receive immediately.

We are not sure when we will be back online but there is place to add yourself to a list to be notified when we are clear on next steps with Transforming Resources. We still have much passion about providing tools to guide leaders and their communities in experiencing spiritual transformation.

I noticed that the bookstore is closed. I wanted to order your lent series. I could not find it on Amazon. Suggestions of how I can purchase this?

Thanks so much!

Well, I’m excited but a little wary of entering the Lenten wilderness but am keen (?) for the refining and purifying I’m set to experience. I’m now especially excited for your sessions with Father Rolheiser – I’m currently reading his “The Holy Longing” …

Thanks again for a compelling & challenging article.

Grace and peace,

As a frontline dual veteran paramedic, tent Making missionary and church planting pastor and now clinical trauma therapist for the inner city poor, your resources and your testimony have been a balm to my wounded thirsty heart. I’ve only been able to able access to free ones and the resources my spiritual director has but they have been game and changers and life and hope giving.
I am passing them on too. I just wanted to say thank you.
