How are we to sustain activism and compassion amidst the never-ending crises of the twenty-first century? While the concern for social justice is deeply biblical, cynicism, burnout, and despair are all too common side effects when action is divorced from contemplation. To effectively serve as the hands and feet of Jesus, the church must attend to the revitalization of its inner life through the spiritual practices which feed, support, and sustain the work of the kingdom. Rather than the fragmentation and dualism that have led denominations to choose between prayer and service, evangelization and justice, the church must integrate heart, mind, and body in order to fulfil its calling to transform the world from within. Drawing from Scripture and a wide range of Christian traditions - from the monastic to the evangelical - this book inspires its readers to integrate spiritual renewal and prophetic witness for the glory of God and the good of his creation.

Industry Reviews

This is Ringma's magnum opus. It is a work that will be read, marked, discussed and taught for a generation to come.

Maxine Hancock, PhD

This magnificent book offers us the fruits of a lifetime of scholarship, cross-cultural missionary experience, and reflective wisdom that is truly breathtaking.

Prabo Mihindukulasuriya, PhD

Colombo Theological Seminary, Sri Lanka


This book leads us deeper into the life of the triune God, deeper into the rich reservoir of biblical and theological witnesses, deeper into a life of solidarity and action with our poor, oppressed or suffering neighbour, deeper into a life of care for, wonder of and attention to the creation beneath and above us.

Tim Dickau, DMin

Center for Missional Leadership,

St. Andrew's Hall, Canada


This is a book to read slowly and deeply. With a combination of rich theology and biblical reflection, the reader is invited to follow Christ to that place where contemplation and action combine to make believers not only bearers of the message but an embodiment of it.

William Dyrness, PhD

Fuller Theological Seminary, California, USA


This book integrates theology, spirituality and mission in a thought-provoking manner, challenging us to cultivate a missional spirituality that is wholistic and life transforming.

Jean Lee, PhD

China Graduate School of Theology, Hong Kong


This book is a tour de force, the fruit of much intellectual labour in the Spirit. It is a veritable theological feast, where Ringma brings together personal, biblical, theological, spiritual, missional and historical insights to craft a fully integrated, missional Christian spirituality.
