When Did Blanchard Become a Christian?
He believes Jesus is a great role model, but does he see him as a Redeemer? There's a big difference.
According to his own autobiography, We Are the Beloved (1994), Blanchard has been a Christian since the mid-80s. In his own words he says, "In 1985 my [spiritual] journey got a boost when Margie and I met Bob and Linda Buford." A few pages later in the book, Blanchard says, "I bowed my head and said, 'Lord, I can't save myself here.'" And then, "I accept Jesus as my Savior and the bridge between You and me."
"It was the success of The One Minute Manager, self-published in 1981 and nationally released by William Morrow in 1982, that spawned his Christian faith, he [Blanchard]says."

Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.

Spiritual Formation: A movement that has provided a platform and a channel through which contemplative prayer is entering the church. Find spiritual formation being used, and in nearly every case you will find contemplative spirituality. In fact, contemplative spirituality is the heartbeat of the spiritual formation movement.
