When you dream about growing in your spiritual life—in your communion with God, do you imagine it as a relatively straight and upward journey? Progress at every new stage and season? Or, have you come to realize that the path is more often crooked than straight. Today, Alan interviews his friend and fellow author, Jeff Tacklind, about his recently-released book, The Winding Path of Transformation on the Unhurried Living podcast. 

It shouldn’t surprise us that the path of human transformation is not a perfect series of smooth moves towards maturity. Sometimes we get stuck. Sometimes we move backwards. At least that’s been our experience. We're glad to be able to share a very honest and helpful conversation Alan recently had with friend, Jeff Tacklind, about his new book, The Winding Path of Transformation. 

In it, Jeff shares many very transparent and personal stories of his own journey of transformation. He is lead pastor of Church by the Sea in Laguna Beach, California, where he lives with his wife, Patty, and their three children. He is a spiritual director and has a master's degree in philosophy and a doctorate in semiotics and future studies. 

We think you’re going to appreciate the conversation. 

We are also happy to let you know that InterVarsity Press has been kind enough to make a free excerpt from Jeff's book available to our listening audience.
