""Wang has written a timely and courageous work centering non-Western voices in the spiritual formation conversation. . . . Her findings challenge educators and ministry leaders to examine cultural assumptions embedded in formation practices. This book should be required reading for anyone serious about intercultural theological education and spiritual formation for the global church."" --Jamie N. Sanchez, Chair, Doctoral Department, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University ""Wang has provided a superb model for assessing the cross-cultural impact of a spiritual formation program at a North American seminary. . . . How encouraging to see the ways that Chinese students reexamine assumptions from their upbringing and become more dependent on God!"" --Kenneth Nehrbass, author of Advanced Missiology ""By engaging in cross-cultural dialogue, Wang deepens awareness of Confucian values within spiritual formation and contributes meaningfully to ongoing conversations about faith, culture, and formation in a global context."" --Eunice Hong, Director of Research and Assistant Professor of Ministry, Wheaton College ""In Cross-Cultural Spiritual Formation, Danbo Wang offers a compelling qualitative study of transformative learning at the intersection of Confucian culture and Western Christian spiritual formation. . . . This book is a valuable resource for spiritually and culturally sensitive educators, ministers, and mentors in seminaries and churches."" --Soo-Young Lee, Director of the PhD in Educational Studies Program, Grace Mission University
