Product Description:


A New, Expanded Edition of Renovaré's Classic Companion to the Devotional Life



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 over the course of one year. Edited by James Bryan Smith, each reading is accompanied by an introduction and meditation by Richard J. Foster. In addition, each entry 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 works from the great spiritual writers of the past as well as readings from contemporary spiritual leaders to create a guide that is indispensable for those looking for a deeper and more balanced spiritual life.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book

I had read this particular book at another house and was so enthralled with it that I wanted one for my Library and I am giving one for a birthday
present.I probably would not have bought it had I not seen it first.
