Lee Strobel, author of
The Case for Christ study Bible, is a teaching pastor of Willow Creek Church and a member/teaching pastor of Saddleback Church, both churches are proponents of contemplative spirituality. Strobel
'strongly' endorses Rick Warren's book,
The Purpose Driven Life (see back cover of a PDL copy). His son is also
the founder of a contemplative ministry. Strobel is just one of the
many authors who accepts and supports contemplative spirituality, also known as the "spiritual formation movement." Zondervan, the publisher of
The Case for Christ study Bible, PDL, and others, is also among the strong proponents of contemplative spirituality. To understand the dangers of contemplative spirituality, read more on the 1997 treatise of John Caddock,
