In her struggle to define the meaning of the Spiritual Formation of a child of God, the author, Dr. Lee Bee Teik, discovered that many Christians view the process as a formal method to gain spiritual merit before God. Others ignore it as unnecessary as long as one is guaranteed a place in heaven. Yet others are confused over whether it is necessary to call the ‘drawing nearer to God’ spiritual formation. Is it not only for formally educated believers? Unable to express her faith experiences to others without causing misunderstanding, she kept her views to herself while ministering to others as best she can since her school days in Penang. Finally, in old age, she is able to briefly pit down her thoughts on paper through a book. Further, as Dr. Lee knows God through a mostly Malaysian-Chinese Christian background (family and church), there was much for her to experience and decipher as she was also influenced by English educated teachers, pastors and missionaries from the West. Is spiritual formation culture dependent?
