Synopsis

At the very heart of God is the passionate disposition to be in loving fellowship with you. From the human side of this equation it is meditative prayer that ushers us into this divine-human fellowship. Richard Foster, bestselling author and founder of Renovare, writes these words as one who has experienced what they describe. And in this new book he will beautifully guide you in this transformational way, that you might come to know deeper fellowship with God. Weaving together quotes and stories from the lives of mothers and fathers of the faith as well as powerful encounters with God from his own life, Foster describes the riches of quieting your mind and heart in order to listen to and obey God more closely. Along the way, at perhaps his clearest, most practical best, he also provides the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this prayer practice for yourself. The journey into meditative prayer is not easy, but it is essential. And, as Foster shows, it's possible, even in the midst of the noisy, often chaotic world we live in. Your soul can become a sanctuary where you fellowship with the very God of the universe, who knows you and loves you deeply.

It came out a little early, and I have been slowly plodding away at reading this book. I just finished Foster's book, and I have to tell you, it e......more

Goodreads review by Jenna on July 04, 2024

I think Richard Foster’s body of work is now considered a classic of the contemporary Christian spirituality canon, with reason. I feel like alot of the book was concepts and explanations on practices I am already very familiar with, but this just goes to show that he was a real trailblazer in the wr......more

Worth it for the last couple chapters again, and the exhortation to stop reading and just enter into meditative prayer.......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on September 09, 2019

I appreciate Foster's religious upbringing. I come from a Church of Christ background, and my wife comes from a Southern Baptist background. We both currently attend a "former" Baptist church in our neighborhood. I guess you can say that we both come from two different pillars born of the protestant......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on August 18, 2022

I always enjoy reading Forster's works. They bring a breath of fresh air on whatever topic he chooses to write. This is no different. Few people write on meditation in Christian realms. I suggest you read more of Richard Foster's works. They will challenge you to practice spiritual disciplines more......more
