Updated to incorporate all six traditions or "streams" that comprise a healthy and holistic life of faith, these fifty-two selections have been organized to introduce the reader to the great devotional writers through the course of one year. Edited by James Smith, each reading is accompanied by an introduction and meditation by Richard Foster. In addition, each entry also includes a related biblical passage, discussion questions, and individual and group exercises.
With devotional readings in:
1) the Prayer-filled life
2) the Virtuous life
3) the Spirit-Empowered life
4) the Compassionate life
5) the Word-centered life
6) the Sacramental life,
Foster and Smith sift through the great spiritual writers of the past as well as contemporary readings from some of our new spiritual leaders to form a guide that is indispensable to those looking for a deeper and more balanced spiritual life.
