Engstrom, President Emeritus, World Vision\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard J. Foster has touched countless lives with his spiritual classic, Celebration of Discipline, which has sold over one million copies since it was first published twenty years ago. Now, with Streams of Living Water, Foster again strengthens and enriches the spiritual lives of listeners everywhere with this unique exploration of the major traditions at the core of Christian practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this landmark work, Foster examines these \u003cem\u003estreams of living water\u003c\/em\u003e - the six dimensions of faith and practice that define Christian tradition. He lifts up the enduring character of each tradition in the midst of constantly evolving faith and shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these great historical movements emphasizes a different aspect of life and faith. The six streams Foster presents are: the \u003cem\u003eContemplative,\u003c\/em\u003e or prayer-filled life; the life of \u003cem\u003eHoliness,\u003c\/em\u003e or the virtuous life; the \u003cem\u003eCharismatic,\u003c\/em\u003e or Spirit-empowered life; the life of \u003cem\u003eSocial Justice,\u003c\/em\u003e or the compassionate life; the \u003cem\u003eEvangelical,\u003c\/em\u003e or Word-centered life; and finally, the \u003cem\u003eIncarnational,\u003c\/em\u003e or sacramental life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoster examines the unique contributions of each of these traditions, and offers as examples the inspiring stories of faithful people whose own lives defined these \u003cem\u003estreams.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Streams of Living Water, Foster seeks a balanced path to a renewal of the spirit. He identifies the strengths and the weaknesses of each stream and offers practical ways to incorporate each of these spiritual dimensions into our daily lives - offering a clear and tangible path to authentic Christian experience. He reveals that while each stream is capable of providing spiritual growth, the most complete renewal can only come from combining the best from each tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead by the author.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49346136506672,"sku":"BDad99","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/ad99-Square-cover.jpg?v=1777985772","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ad99","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
