A Ministry of Christian Formation
Books for the formation of men and women into the image of Christ.
Not information to be finished, but formation to be lived — deep, unhurried works of reading, reflection, and discipleship, written to shape a Christlike life.
“…to be conformed to the image of His Son.”
— Romans 8:29
The Vision
Formation, not merely information.
The aim of the Gospel is not a well-read mind but a transformed life — a man or woman gradually formed into the image and likeness of Christ, until they begin to live as He lived.
These books exist for that slow, deliberate work. They are written to be read closely, discovered over time, and worked through in reflection and community — resources for the long journey of discipleship, for the person, the mentor, and the church.
“We all … are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.”— 2 Corinthians 3:18
“Spiritual formation is the process of being conformed to the image of Christ for the sake of others.”— M. Robert Mulholland Jr.

Read more →The Practice
Written to be worked, not only read.
Every book is accompanied by a complete study set, so the teaching does not end on the last page. It moves into reflection, conversation, and a practice of stillness before God — the place where formation actually happens.
I.
Read
Sit with the teaching slowly, one movement at a time, as it was written to be received.
II.
Reflect
Work through the participant volumes — reflection, journaling, and honest self-examination before God.
III.
Restore
Close each study in silence and stillness, where the Spirit forms what teaching alone cannot.
Each study set is offered in participant and facilitator editions, for the individual, the mentor, and the group — in print or digital.

A publishing work in service of the Church.
100 Fold Ministries exists to put deep, formational resources into the hands of those doing the real work of discipleship — books and study guides a person can sit with, a mentor can teach from, and a congregation can be formed by.
The name is drawn from the seed that fell on good ground and bore fruit a hundredfold. That is the hope of everything published here: a life yielded, and a harvest that bears the likeness of Christ.
— Franklin Santagate
