“The 9 Arts of Spiritual Conversations” by Mary Schaller and John Crilly is a wonderful practical guide for engaging with people about spirituality and learning to see what God is going in their lives. Here at True North Church, we uphold these principles as the primary foundation for how we seek to interact with people in our community!
