Book Description

“If you want to discover new ways of entering the Bible, and letting it enter you, you will find no better guide than Richard Foster.”


— Lauren F. Winner, Duke Divinity School, author of Girl Meets God

 “Foster’s work is not for those readers who are seeking quick answers or a behavioral checklist of what the Bible says they should do. Rather, it is a deep reflective guide to spiritual rumination and growth.”


— Publishers Weekly

Richard Foster, the beloved, bestselling author of Celebration of Discipline, Streams of Living Water, and Prayer, shows the intimate connection between Scripture and spirituality, revealing the secrets to living the “with-God life.”


How can we move from simply knowing about God to truly experiencing the transformative life the Bible offers?


The 'With-God' Life: Discover the Immanuel Principle—“God is with us”—and learn to move beyond created life (bios) into the eternal, uncreated life (zoë) that originates in God alone.The Spiritual Disciplines: Explore time-honored practices like prayer, study, solitude, and fasting not as rules, but as the practical, God-ordained means to open yourself to spiritual transformation.Reading with Heart and Mind: Move beyond reading for information and learn the art of lectio divina—a deep, reflective approach that allows Scripture to enter you as you enter its world.Living by Grace: Understand the principle of indirection, where doing what you can do positions you to receive from God the power to do what you cannot, freeing you from the burden of self-effort.
