Sanctuary Of The Soul

Richard Foster weaves together stories from the mothers and fathers of the faith plus powerful encounters with God from his own life to describes the riches of meditative prayer. Here's the biblical teaching and step-by-step help you need to begin this time-honored prayer practice. A Renovaré Resource.

Have you ever asked yourself what changed when you were "born again?" You look in the mirror and see the same reflection - your body hasn't changed. You find yourself acting the same and yielding to those same old temptations - that didn't seem to change either. So you wonder, Has anything really changed? The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!

The ultimate guide to a better quality of life through a deep cleansing of the soul.

The Sanctuary of the Soul provides a bold, new interpretation of spiritual life, which C. T. Lewis describes as "an interiorization of the practices of temple worship established in the Torah of Moses." Through a searching analysis of the Old and New Testaments, the author leads the reader through the primary stages in the journey of the soul, from its mystical union with God through the sacrificial work of Christ, to an interior life of worship expressed in the spiritual gifts of incense, light, and food. "The Sanctuary of the Soul is scholarly, intriguing, and refreshing, the kind of book that will repay many trips back to it." Douglas Wilson, pastor of Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho Fellow of Philosophy and Classical Languages, New St. Andrews College
