Life with God: Reading the Bible for Spiritual Transformation


Add your own review!

Overview

Richard Foster expounds on his introduction to the successful Renovare Spiritual Formation Bible and his concept of the with-God life, showing how all of Scripture is unified around the theme of how to have a vibrant and dynamic life with God. For Foster, the with-God life concept allows the river of life that flows through the Bible into the thirsty wastelands of the human soul. Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of God's plan for seeking out a relationship to us, Foster sees the Bible as the loving heart of God made visible and plain to us. The with-God life is a life of unhurried peace and power. It is solid, serene, simple, radiant. It takes no time, though it permeates all of our time . Readers will discover a whole new way to read Scripture, making it much more a doorway to a lifestyle to master rather than merely knowledge to understand.

Reviews

Richard Foster awakens us to God's continued desire to commune with us despite the deafness of our sin-blunted ears. From long experience, he shows how the dynamic use of the spiritual disciplines can open our ears to God's voice. A book to read slowly. -- David Neff, Editor in Chief, Christianity Today


You hold in your hands a very wise book written for anyone who craves a deep, palpable connection to God. If you want to discover new ways of entering the Bible, and letting it enter you, you will find no better guide than Richard Foster.--Lauren F. Winner, Duke Divinity School, author of Girl Meets God
