He serves on the teaching team (and as writer in residence) at Second Baptist Church, Houston and has served as an adjunct faculty member at Western Seminary and Houston Theological Seminary. Gary’s speaking ministry has led him to speak in forty-nine states and nine countries, as well as on numerous national television and radio programs.

Gary Thomas is one of the most celebrated writers on spiritual formation, with beloved books sitting alongside other contemporary classics by authors such as Dallas Willard, James Bryan Smith, and Richard Foster. In his distinct style, he provides a heartfelt survey of humility, chastity, generosity, patience, perseverance, and more, as demonstrated in the life of Jesus. These virtues are for us, and this book draws lines from our lived experience to the lived experience of Christ, and back to us, pointing the way to a more vibrant faith and a more fulfilling life.
