About this deal

I won’t be adopting the life of an evangelical mystic anytime soon, but there’s plenty I can learn from Richard Foster. We are sinking down into the light and life of Christ and becoming comfortable in that posture” (p19). Try to act in obedience straight away and think about writing down any other reflections you’ve had during this time.

Physical benefits, success in prayer, the enduring with power, spiritual insights—these must never replace God as the center of our fasting” (p55). Indeed, in movements all over the world we are now beginning to see the breaking forth of the apostolic church of the Spirit. This book has pushed me to develop aspects of my spiritual discipline that are less focused on in the modern American church (fasting, simplicity, celebration). The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ.On pages 122-3, he lists seven acts of submission: 1) to God, 2) to Scripture, 3) to family, 4) to neighbors and those around us, 5) to the believing community, 6) to the broken and despised, and 7) to the world.

If you’re simply engaging with our series and not directly with the book, then follow this guide for the first route for mediation: Meditation upon Scripture. When my prayers for a dying relative failed and the relative died--it was akin to trying to turn on a TV which isn't properly plugged? What I love the most about the book is his reminder that the pursuit of a Christ-centered life is all about change and bringing ourselves closer to God. Adevarata evlavie nu ii indeparteaza pe oameni de lume, ci ii ajuta sa traiasca mai bine in ea, indemnandu-i sa-si dea toata silinta ca sa o indrepte.In fact, your church may become so enamored with the idea of intimacy with God that they decide to fast regularly as a body and seek that intimacy together using the disciplines to propel them a bit deeper into Spirit-churned waters. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. By themselves the Spiritual Disciplines can do nothing; they can only get us to the place where something can be done. So, he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: "Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Written in the same warm, accessible style as Richard Foster's best-selling Celebration of Discipline, Freedom of Simplicity articulates a creative, more human style of living and points the way for Christians to make their lives "models of simplicity.
