Summary of Richard J. Foster's Celebration of Discipline, Special Anniversary Edition

Sinopse

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 We must be willing to go down into the recreating silences, into the inner world of contemplation, if we want to move beyond the superficialities of our culture.#2 The Bible mentions two different Hebrew words to describe meditation, and they are used to convey the idea of listening to God’s word, reflecting on God’s works, rehearsing God’s deeds, and more.#3 God wants to have a relationship with us, and the Bible tells us that he spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend. However, the Israelites were not ready for such intimacy, and so they told Moses not to speak to them anymore.#4 The biblical foundation for meditation is the belief that Jesus continues to act and speak even if people cannot see him with the naked eye. He is resurrected and at work in our world. He is not idle, and he has not developed laryngitis.
