Synopsis

From the author of CELEBRATION OF DISCIPLINE comes a major new exploration of spiritual renewal

Many Christians have a hunger for God that their own tradition seems unable to fully satisfy. While keeping the Bible as his touchstone, Richard Foster has discovered how other historical strands can offer additional food for the spiritual journey. In the first major book since his highly acclaimed PRAYER, Richard Foster celebrates the riches of Christian experience today.

While Evangelicals live a ‘Word centred’ life, the Charismatics have discovered a ‘spirit empowered’ life. But there is much to learn also from the holiness traditions who practice a ‘virtuous life’ as well as the ‘social justice movement. Contemplative and other perspectives are also explored, drawing on historic lives and biblical teaching to offer a more enriching relationship with God and his world.
