5.0 out of 5 stars SIMPLY WONDERFUL!, July 26 2002
This review is from: The Cup of Our Life: A Guide for Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
This is one of the most satisfying, uplifting, and encouraging devotion books I've read in many years. It's thought-provoking without being 'preachy'. I love the way the chapters are set up and the quotes included in each chapter are awesome.

And we can all relate to the cup as a metaphor for our lives...whether empty, full, overflowing or even cracked! I highly recommend this book if you're looking for a devotion book that really relates to everyday life.....you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your Cup Can be Full, Feb 17 2004
By 
JAD (The Sunshine State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cup of Our Life: A Guide for Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
Joyce Rupp is a well-known speaker and writer in the area of Christian spiritual growth, and a member of the Servite (Servants of Mary) faith community. She leads retreats all over the world, and has written six other books on faith development and the Christian life.

This book is designed for personal and group use-and Rupp uses the images of coffee mugs to help start and move the prayerful discussion along. Broken cups and broken lives-empty, half-full and overflowing cups-all with solid Biblical connections which will be familiar and fresh to the reader at one and the same time.

It is a joy to see how a simple, everyday object can be the vehicle for Christ-centered conversation and contemplation. There are many ideas in this book which would help a couple, or a group of Christian friends, or an intentional small group, Sunday School class, or one soul in source of being filled with the gifts the Spirit provides.

Rupp structures the book as Weeks and Days; she also provides suggestions for group use-so if you are a facilitator, most of the work is done for you.

Of course, to benefit from A CUP OF BLESSING, you will need to bring along your mug and an open, expectant mind. And you will befit, if you do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal reflection guide, Dec 6 2010
This review is from: The Cup of Our Life: A Guide for Spiritual Growth (Paperback)
I have purchased this particular book probably 12 or more times, but I keep giving it to people who are struggling with things in their life. I have used it myself as a personal reflection method, and I have found it to be a thoughtful way to do self/spiritual reflection which is why I keep giving copies of it away. It is not a "self help" book and it is not meant to "fix" the things we see as wrong in our lives. But for those who would like a more hands on method of daily reflection that isn't time consuming - I highly recommend this book. The Cup of Our Life by Joyce Rupp.
