BOOK REVIEW:
A Heart Aflame for God: A Reformed Approach to Spiritual Formation by Matthew Bingham. Crossway. 369 pages. 2025 
****

This book was introduced to our church leadership team by our lead pastor at our annual leadership retreat last fall, who encouraged all of us to read the book. I’ve been reading discussing with two men in our church. It’s the best book that I’ve read in the past year.
Today, many are leaving evangelicalism for denominations like Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy in search of a greater depth of spiritual practice. The author tells us that the purpose of the book is to explore and commend a distinctively Reformed Protestant vision of Christian growth for twenty-first-century evangelicals. The book aims to demonstrate to evangelical readers that the spiritual depth and seriousness they rightly long for can be found without having to look to Rome or Constantinople.
