Product Description
A New, Expanded Edition of Renovare's Classic Companion to the Devotional Life Updated to incorporate all six traditions, or "streams," that comprise a healthy and holistic life of faith, these fifty–two selections have been organized to introduce the reader to the great devotional writers over the course of one year. Edited by James Bryan Smith, each reading is accompanied by an introduction and meditation by Richard J. Foster. In addition, each entry includes a related biblical passage, discussion questions, and individual and group exercises. With devotional readings in 1. The Prayer–Filled Life 2. The Virtuous Life 3. The Spirit–Empowered Life 4. The Compassionate Life 5. The Word–Centered Life 6. The Sacramental Life Foster and Smith sift through works from the great spiritual writers of the past as well as readings from contemporary spiritual leaders to create a guide that is indispensable for those looking for a deeper and more balanced spiritual life.

 Indepth discipleship July 5, 2008
This is a wonderful, thought provoking, action evoking devotional. Because of its indepth nature, I use it as a weekly devotional, reading and rereading the selection throughout the week and working on one of the action items. Devotional Classics is an excellent choice for intentional discipleship.
 Great intro to spiritual growth May 29, 2008
Due to the fact that I was in an abusive church, I tended to distrust anything that smacked of mysticism or spirituality that bypassed the brain. Nevertheless, I have been more open of late to works that attempt to speak more to the heart and not just the head - to the whole person, if you will. This is a great intro to this end giving good pieces that are worth meditating on.
For me, I ignore the questions. I don't need more "do the following steps to be spiritual". I find just reading each piece slowly over and over for a week or so allows me to move the truths from just an intellectual understanding to change in the heart and will.
Great Book May 23, 2008
This is a great book. The various authors have great insight on the subjects covered. Each reading will broaden one's perspective on living the Christian life.

How can I review this book? I have yet to receive it from Woody's Books. I have been in touch with then and they have shipped a replacement copy on 5/7 by "expedite shipping" Hopedfully I will receive it soon.

I had read this particular book at another house and was so enthralled with it that I wanted one for my Library and I am giving one for a birthday
present.I probably would not have bought it had I not seen it first.
