In his debut book on spiritual growth (helpful not only for young believers but also pastors looking for congregational resources), Mason King offers a short, sweet, and refreshing guide to becoming a healthy Christian.
Review Quotes:
"In A Short Guide to Spiritual Disciplines, Mason King gives us an important vision for spiritual maturity. It's not check-list Christianity that can often feel like we live compartmentalized Christian lives. Instead, King points to an entire life that is spiritually-disciplined - a life of becoming the person God has made us to be. And yet, he grounds the spiritually disciplined life and its practices in the overflowing generosity and grace of Jesus, whose yoke really is easy, and whose burden really is light--even when pursuing a spiritually disciplined life."
--Tony Merida, PhD
Pastor, Imago Dei Church, Raleigh, NC
"When I first began reading works on spiritual formation, I sometimes felt frustrated at the lack of a clear presentation of the gospel and of Christ's finished work on the cross, and what sometimes felt like a doctrine of 'Work harder, do better.' Mason King has delivered the book I wanted to read all along. This is a book deeply undergirded by the truth of God's enduring love for humanity as both the starting place and the vehicle upon which our spiritual growth moves. There is no 'try harder' in this book, only "drink deeper and be filled by the love of God."

"So many of us are hungry for wholeness, looking everywhere for identity, purpose, and belonging. With pastoral wisdom that is astute and gentle, Mason shows how the path to the life we desire is not hidden but available to all. Yet, he does this by calling us to move away from the dead-end of instant gratification and onto the path of "patient persistence," cultivating the daily discipline of spiritual transformation. If you want help pushing past the formation obstacles of our cultural moment to become your true self in Christ, this book is for you!"
