Faith Styles describes the different ways that people experience spiritual life and religion. Mabry describes some of the key differences in faith styles, and arrays six "points" on a wheel to contrast the styles, giving each point a name that describes a faith style, and then providing a detailed description of each style. the descriptions are "compelling and thought-provoking", says a reviewer on Amazon.com. "Equally important to me, I found that Mabry was able to describe the faith styles without judging one as better than another, or viewing them in a heirarchy, as some other authors have done. Instead, he validates five of the faith styles as viable, healthy positions, and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each style drawing from his work in spiritual direction and from a survey that he did for this book............ This book has given me a lot to think about, both in my own faith life and in relating to others in my church community".
