In a world filled with strong opinions and partisan realities, Father J. Scott Wilson in his excellent book, "Upward Call" has transcended external conflicts and presented to the People of God a book that can unite a person within his or her very soul, by giving us very practical ways to walk with the Lord. Writing a book about the Spiritual life in today's world runs the risks of several polarizations: anecdotalism (all about the author) to intellectualism (all about concepts) and external examples (look at your felt experience) to introspective examples (what are you thinking?). Fr. Wilson does a remarkable job of taking the two extremes, and weaving together a seamless story - a story of walking with Jesus Christ. In classical Ascetical Theology, we are presented with terms that help immensely those who are on a serious spiritual journey. In many modern books on the spiritual there is either an avoidance or ignorance of classical Spirituality which can result in having a book that is easily forgotten, and not particularly useful for a book study or a class. Fr. Wilson has produced a book that results in being drawn ever closer to Christ in both a classical and contemporary way, by confronting and explaining, without being slavishly wedded to one way versus another. Simply put, this book is a love story about a relationship with Jesus Christ, and the goal is for others to discover that being with Jesus is more than (1) having happy thoughts about Jesus and (2) going to church every Sunday. And now, you as a reader, must walk with the author chapter by chapter in a pilgrimage to and with Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
