Christian classics in bite-size pieces,
By
This review is from: Spiritual Classics (Paperback)
This is a great collection of spiritual classics which introduce the reader to a wide range of Christians throughout the ages. Each chapter begins by a brief biography which contextualizes the writing, and reflection questions at the end help you think deeper about the texts and how they apply to you (if you want). I will be using this book as a textbook for Introduction to Christian Spirituality because it makes these rich, classic texts very accessible to any reader, whether they are familiar with the Christian tradition or not.

More of The Same Thing Isn't Always Bad,
By
This review is from: Spiritual Classics (Paperback)
In the case of Richard Foster, more is a very good thing. Once again Foster gives us a glimpse of spiritual disciplines through the lenses of the greatest Christian authors of history. This time he tackles the following subjects:. INWARD DISCIPLINES . meditation, prayer, fasting, study . OUTWARD DISCIPLINES . simplicity, solitude, submission, service . CORPORATE DISCIPLINES . confession, worship, guidance, celebration If you liked any of Foster's other books, you will like this one.
